ing stamps last Monday and these are
now on sale at the post Office and by
carriers. Local banks also have q
supply for disposal to the public. This
sale of war and thrift stamps is q
move by the Government in the hope
Of promoting tn. most thorough CAM
'paign Of systematic thrift and gather
ing Of war funds in the worlds his
tory. The Government expects to raise
$2,000,000,0 900 in this way by January
1919, which means q per capita allot-
ment Of $3.50, throughout the coun-
try.
Thrift stamps, whose value is $25
cents each, may be purchased singly
or in lots and when 16 are obtained,
these r pasted upon q card supplied
by the postmaster and with IL cents
are exchanged for a war savings

that one cent more is required for each
additional month, beginning February
l. For instance You present a card
of 16 stamps j., this month. or next,
to the postmaster with IL cents. He
issues a larger stamp, valued at SIS.
However, this value does not accrue
until 1928. You see, the Government
is allowing you the interest when you
buy the stamp. If you will register
this S. stamp at the post ofice-there
is no charge for this service-you are
protected against loss through fire,
carelessness OF theft. You may with
draw you money at any time but, of
course you will get but the original
amount plus the interest obtaining at
the time Of withdrawal. During the
month o February, you will pay, in
addition to your 16 stamps, the sum
Of 10 cents; in March, yiu will add a
cent, and so on throughout the year,
adding a cent each month. The Gov
eminent states that this arrangement
means a four per cent investment on
you money, compounded quarterly.
According to population, North Dako-
ia will be expected to buy stamps to
the value of 100000.

 Most of the German reports of the trial omit any reference to this point, and also seem inspired by an en- deayor to make Adler half-crazed and Irresponsible fanatic. The Ber- liner Tageblatt's correspondent gives a different impression in his report of Adler's speech, which he considers Q strong indictment of the Stuergkh system, and which he says may be summarized in a phrase attributed by him to stuergkh, "The way to Parlia- ment is only over my dead body.''
