by Original Owners.

Under the caption, Dishonest
Traffic in War Savings Stamps"
Postmaster Simpson this morning
received from Third Assistant
Postmaster General A. NJ. Dock
cry the following official statement
relative to traffic in war savings
stamps. 1t should be carefully read
by the public generally:
The treasury has been greatly
concerned by the receipt of re-
ports of dishonest traffic in war
savings certificates and stamps.
These. securities were not intended
to be negotiable and, for the pro-
lection of the owners in case their
necessities required, provision was
made for redemption of war saw
ings certificates at postoffices upon
10 days notice, at a fixed price,
representing the original purchase
price with an addition for interest.
No obstacles have at any time been
placed by the treasury in the way
of the redemption of these war
savings certificates, and it should
be generally understood that the
owner of a certificate has an alb
solute right to redeem it in &C
cordance with its terms. Any case
of a refusal to make such redemp
ton, if brought to the attention of
the treasury, will result in prompt
action.
THE government needs the mon
ey and hopes the holders of war
savings certificates will retain
them, but it will place no obstacle
in the way of these bona fide hold

an efficient standard and to develop
a cooperation between the members
of the department, necessary to
give the best results.

January this year, New Ulm experienced
an equally fine and springlike February
until near its end when the temperature
dropped suddenly and old Boreas brought
along some of his fercest waves of winter
frost. On the 10Th the thermometer
had climbed up to 80 degrees above
zero. Six days later the temperature
was fifty degrees lower, registering Il
below zero. The mean temperature
for the whole month was 1855, ac-
Icording to the monthly record OF the.
local meteorological observer, Alex l..
Henle.
One third Of the days in February were.
clear, while six were partly cloudy and
10 cloudy with snow and rain. The
total precipitation on these days was
i4.12 inches. Most of this was in tie
form of snow which amounted to 1880
