INCREASE IS SHOWN
IN POSTAL SAVINGS
Increase of More Than 10 Per Cent
for Six Months.
Washington, D. C.—Postmaster
General Brown Tuesday announced
an increase of more than 10 per cent
in postal savings between July 1,
1929, and February 28, 1930, com
menting that it was “the greatest
peace time growth in the history of
the system.” Deposits increased
$16,341,000 to a total of 8167,901,-
652.
For February alone, the increase
was $2,840,717, of which Florida
contributed $999,200; Texas, $606,-
947; Illinois, $409,509; Alabama,
$202,981; Nebraska, $133,881; South
Carolina, $122,331; and Indiana,
$101,236.
Brown advocated an increase in
the limit on individual deposits from
$2,500 to $5,000.
Kacing in Paraguay
The start of a Paraguayan horse
race is often very protracted. It may
be set to begin early in the morning,
and a series of false starts continue
until noon, when the owners of the
horses take their charges home for
rest and refreshment. Then they will
meet in the afternoon to begin all
over again. The reason for the de
lay is that no race can begin until
both jockeys ar agreed that neither
has the advantage; so they canter
up to the start many times until
they make up their minds to go.
Pretty Flower Become* Pe»t
Once a cherished flower, now a pest
that is destroying thousands of acres
of valuable pasture land, the little lan
tana plant is the object of attack in
Hawaii. Lantana, known in the Unit
ed States as a pretty flower, was
brought to Haiwaii many years ago
by some nature lover, just who is not
definitely known, and immediately be
gan to spread. It grows thickly at al
titudes from sea level to 1,500 or 2,000
feet, and several large Hawaiian
ranches are heavy losers in grazing
land.
EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
Entranced by Strains
of “Magical” Calliope
That herald of the circus, the cal
liope, made its first public appearance
In July, 1856, screeching “Old Dan
Tucker" down the Worcester & Nashua
railroad.
A contemporary account describes
the effect as "magical, nay wonder
ful, exciting and amusing. Men left
i their workshops and rushed for the
railway. Women and children swarmed
like ants when their anthill is trod
den on. agrin with wonder and de
light. The horses danced pirouettes
to the music; the very pigs relaxed
the tension of their tortuous tails, and
stupid calves . . snuffed the mu
i sic-laden air their pendent tails out
standing straight behind.
" ‘Twas marvelous, and we should
not have been surprised if all the
bending woods, charmed by the Or
-1 phic strains, had walked adown the
I 'Shaded hills and made obeisance to
the Calliope . . . even as Birnam
wood came down to Dunsinane 1”
Great French Soldier
Knelt Long at Altar
One day in France when thousands
of guns were roaring, an American
named Evans went into an old church
to examine it. As he stood there with
bared head satisfying his respectful
curiosity a gray man with the stars
of a general on the collar of his shab
by. uniform entered the church. Only
an orderly accompanied him; no glit
tering staff of officers —just an order
ly.
The American soldier paid little at
tention to him at first but was curious
to see him kneel in the church pray
ing. The minutes passed until three
quarters of an hour had gone, before
the man arose from his knees.
Then Evans followed him down the
street and was surprised to see sol
diers salute the man in great excite
ment, while women and children
stopped in their tracks with awe-in
spired faces.
It was Foch.
Among His Souvenirs
Donald Mac Fiddle, a famous Scotch
musician, had many admirers In this
country. On one concert tour he had
just arrived in New York and was
walking from his room to the theater.
A young woman admirer who recog
nized him dete-mined to procure some
souvenir of the great man. It was
raining, and from beneath her nice
new silk umbrella she called to him
Mac Fiddle stop >ed and gazed at her
from beneath his old cotton umbrella,
green with age.
“Oh, Mr. Mac Fiddle,” the woman
said, “if you would only give me some
light remembrance of yourself—no
'matter how small 1”
The great man surveyed her keenly,
glanced once up at his old umbrella,
then in a burst Os words, said: “Cer
tainly, my dear young lady. I shall
be delighted. We will exchange um
brellas.” —Pathfinder Magazine.
Cucumber Long Delicacy
De Candolle says that cucumbers
were originally from the East Indies,
but other botanists ascribe them to
Asia and Egypt. Literature proves
them to be more than 3,000 years old
in Asia, and it is known that they
were brought into China 140-86 B. C.
They were known to the Greeks and
Romans and were mentioned by Pliny,
who says that they were grown in
Africa, and that they were such a
favorite with Emperor Tiberius that
he had them daily on his table.
Charlemagne ordered them planted on
his estate in the Ninth century, and
they were grown by Columbus in
Haiti in 1194. Capt. John Smith men
tions them as being cultivated in Vir
ginia in 1584.
Druggists as Opticians
In these days of optometrists, oc
enlists and opticians, it is interesting
to recall that not so many years ago
eyes were cared for by druggists, as
is evidenced by an ad Jonathan Day
ran in the Onondaga Standard:
"The subscriber keeps constantly on
hand for sale, a complete assortment
of concave and convex spectacles, on
steel and silver mounting. Goggles
and magnifying glasses, lie can rem
edy any defect in sight by age. Spec
tacle eyes set on moderate terms.
“At the sign of the Mortar and
Spectacles."—Detroit News.
Silver Leaf Healing
Silver leaf has been found to be a
superior substitute for salves and
tinctures in the treatment of cuts,
wounds and burns as demonstrated by
many experiments at the hospital of
the Vienna university. The silver leaf
is simply laid on the wound and its
effect is greatly to accelerate the heal
ing process.
Not only does it rapidly dry up the
wound, but it apparently exerts a bac
tericidal action, as a result of which
infections and other complications can
ire avoided

"THE RIGHT WAY”
A THOUGHT for the DAY
By
AMOS R. WELLS
A NINETEEN-HUNDREDTH
ANNIVERSARY
As this year and month and week
, we reach the nineteen hundredth an
|.niversary of the coming of the Holy
Spirit into our world, the hearts of
all Christians are filled with new
joy at the thought of the Comforter
whom t|ie Father has sent in the
name of the Son. Not even the
coming of Christ among men was
so blessed an event as the coming
of the third person of the Trinity to
be with us forever, The coming of
the Son meant our salvation; the
coming of the Spirit meant our re
generation.
There is one note in the account
of the first Pentecost that should
stand out especially in our grateful
thought, and that is the fulness of
it. Christ had said that He came
that we might have life, and have it
abundantly. The Holy Spirit is the
abounding life of which He spoke.
So let Pentecost lift us up into
the splendor of Christianity. Let it
make heroes and saints of us. Let
it transform us forever from the
mediocre and the commonplace. Let
us be from this day Spirit-filled
souls.
“It filled all the houie ... It (at
upon each one of them . . . Theyf
were all filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Read ACTS 2:1-11.
