Many People Apparently Do
Not Realize Govern
ment's Need
SEVERAL APPLY AT
LOCAL POSTOFFICE
Are Urged to Keep Their War Savings
acknowledgements on Sub
ject Issued by Third Assistant Post
master General.

A number of persons have applied at
the Brattleboro postofiee TO have their
war savings stamps redeemed, some of
them having the idea that having
bought the stamps they assisted the
government and that the government
could Just as well return the money now
that the war is over. In some instances
the money has been paid back and in
others. the applicants have seen the
point of the argument that the govern.
ment still needs the funds and have
retained their stamps. Apparently this
condition prevails in other sections of
! the country. as Postmaster NJ. J.
| Moran has just received the following
| communication, addressed to all post.
! masters, from a. NJ Dockerv. third as
| slst;tnt postmaster general:
Regulations Of the postmaster cener-
al and instructions of this office hereto
fore issued have clearly defined vour
duties in respect TO the sale of war saw
ings certificate stamps and the proceed
ure necessary for their payment. They
are not transferable, but the original
owners of these stamps, when properly
taffiNed to war savings certificate, are
entitled TO payment after 10 DAYS
notice in writing ng-unregistered war saw
lngs certificates at any money order
postofice and registered war savings
certificates only at the Office of regis
tration
Many owners Of stamps are present
ing them for payment, seemingly on the
assumption that tho goTeEBment no
longer needs the money received for
thera. While it is true the war is prac-
ncaiy at an end, il is equally true that
q large part of the expenditures of the
war must still be met by the sale of
war saving stamps and liberty loan
bonds. The sudden termination of the
war left the government involved in
: expenses that might in part have been
avoided if it had been known when til
war was to end, but of course il was
not possible TO anticipate this event.
The financial obligations Of the war
must therefore continue for many
months, and the national treasury needs
the money received from the sale of
war saving stamps to aid in meeting
, them. The expenses Of demobilizing
, the army and navy, the return of our
/ boys from France, the care of our sick
: and wounded soldiers, and other liabili
. tics incident to the war, all call for .
: continuance of the same patriotic effort
: that. the owners of war savings stamps
9 made during the tragic struggle.
/ Nevertheless, the original owners OF
h war saving certificates with stamps af
fixed must be paid if payment is de
o manded, but | urgently request every
r postmaster to appeal to them eourte
ously 10 refrain from demanding pay
ment unless their financial condition.
absolutely require il. l have full faitl
that when the people understand th'
needs of our government they will de
. fer asking payment until maturity o
the certificates.

$3.50, ooo, 600 LOSS ON
WHEAT FOR THE
U. S. VERNMENT

Washington. -Grain dealers appear
ing before the house agriculture COM
mittee proposed that the government
pay the guaranteed price of $2.26
sbushel for the 1919 wheat crop and
sell it to the consumer at the world
market price, which they estimated
would be about SIPS. The witnesses
generally believed this plan would cost
the government probably billion and
a quarter dollars, but said this loss
was preferable to any attempt on the
part of the government to maintain an
artificial price.
Representative Lever of South Car
DINA suggested three other plans
that the wheat movement be entirely
on the pre-war basis; that the move
ment possibly be restricted by the gov
eminent being authorized to sell or
buy so as to prevent manipulation, and
that the domestic movement be entire
ly on the pre-war basis with the ex-
port movement under federal control.

U. S. MAY Police
TURK PROVINCES
POWERS URGING THIS COUNTRY
TO ACT AS MANDATORY FOR
ARMENIA AND TURKEY
U. S. DELEGATES UNDECIDED
U. S. Delegates Feel That Sentiment
Should Develop Before Giving
Any Answer

Paris.-No answer has been return
ed by the American delegates to the
peace conference to what is said to be
an almost unanimous desire Of the
other powers that the United States
undertake to act as mandatory for Ar
menia and the other severed prov
jnces Of Turkey. Such of the Amerl'
can delegates as will discuss the sit
uation say they are disposed to resist
this development of the plan for man
datories, holding that it is the business
of Europe to look after the Europeans
and the people of the Near East.
The argument used by the other
powers in support of their desire that
the United States assume some OF the
obligations to care for the welfare OF
backward peoples affected by the
peace settlement and assist in their
advancement to higher state OF clvl-
lization is based upon the unlimited
confidence of other governments and
because it is known that the United
States has no territorial aspirations.
Furthermore, it is urged that the con-
fdence of the Armenians and the 9TH
er peoples Of the provinces affected,
through the long exerted influence Of
Robert College at Constantinople, is
strong reason for the participation OF
America as the mandatory power.
The American delegates feel they
should await as to what duties may
devolve upon the United States in con-
nection with it's interest in the vel
fare of dependent peoples.
It seems to be the view in Ameri-
can circles that the powers granted
the mandatory nations will have a con-
siderable influence in shaping the at
titude of the American delegation on
this question. If the mandatory is
limited to the employment of native
constabulary to enforce it's mandates,
there might, it appears, be less obJec-
ton to accepting such a responsible
ity than if it were contemplated that
the manufactures use military forces of
their own, this latter idea being .obnox'
ious to the Americans.

The Many Mysteries
of Nature
RY .. wv. BOWER. M. D.

You can take an onion seed and pansy
seed. and plant them side by side in tho
same spot of ground. In one case, you
act an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor. and in the other you get flower Of
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium Ia dangerous, habit-forming
drurl. or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation. No
scientist living or dead, can explain these
mysteries Of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every
thing growing out of the ground seems in
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned it all
through treating thousands of cases. The
result of his studies was a medicine called
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine il made of vegetable growths that
nature surely intended for backache, head
ache. weakening drains, bearing-down
mains. periodical irregularities, pelvic in
Examinations. and for the many disorders
common to women in all ages of life. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made OF
lady's slipper root, black cohosh root, uni
corn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon
grape root. Women who take this stand
ard remedy know that in DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription they are getting
safe woman's tonic so good that druggists
everywhere sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no mar
cotic. DR.. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whisky
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always kept them out of his remedies.
