REDUCING POSTAGE

Notifications are being sent to postmasters to ot the effect that all stocks of three-cent stamps and envelopes should be reduced at once, in order that as small a number as possible will be on hand July 1st, when the rate for first-class postage will again be two cents.
 For the. past several years the Fpostoffice department has been a paying proposition. The department has been very careful to see that the majority, of it's employees, at least in the rural districts, were not overpaid and in many cases under paid. But it has not increased the efficiency of the department; in fact it is just the opposite.
 It is beyond our comprehension why the three-cent postage law has been repeated at this time, when the public has just become accus. toned to it and which forms g source of revenue which is nc; bur. densome and in which all share equally. The extra cent for postage undoubtedly turns millions of dollars into the treasury, which at this time the government can not onll use to advantage, put needs.
 Another tax has been placed or all forms of tobacco, increasing the cost one or two cents, which those who smoke must bear. A new Lib ,erty loan campaign for sevcra billions will soon be launched, j, which it is safe to say only one thir' of the people will share. Yet : source of revenue is removed, il the repeal of the three-cent postage law in which nearly seventy per cen of the people share.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

It is not often that this paper takes sides against lne farmer. Quite the contrary, in fact, 1t has always tried to help him or them. But when the farmers Joln together in an effort to have the daylight saving law repealed, we fee! that it is only justice to the thousands of workers in the cities to nclp frus- trate their plans.
 Insofar as we are able tc learn, the chief objection tu the daylight saving law, IS that both ground and crops are too wet from dew to work so early in the morning. Perhaps this is a very good reason, yet we know of no good reason why the farmers could not rise an hcnr later in the morning and work ar hour later in rhe evening.
 The daylight saving l@,- h@:; bccn of the greatest benefit to the city and country man who works six full days. l. has given hlm an oQportun- ity to work in his garden. thereby tbenetiting both himself ard the gov ernment and it would seem pity to have it repealed when the majority seem to favor it.

VICTORY LIBERTY
 LOAN CAMPAIGN
 BEGINS APRIL 21
New EnaIand's Organizations, Which Have "carried On" For Two Years, Leading the Country on the Fourth Loan-PIans Greater Activity Than Ever to "Finish the Job."

N. Penrose Hallowell, Executive Chairman of the Liberty Loan Com mittee of New England who was in Washington three days recently discussing Liberty Loan matters with the Treasury Department, makes the following statement:
 "It is important to check immedi- ately the growing impression that the Victory Liberty Loan Campaign is to be abandoned and that the Government will finance its needs by means of short term notes to be placed among the banks. There is no truth in such a rumor"
 Secretary Glass has officially an nounced that the campaign will be launched not later than April 21st and has called on all Liberty Loan organizations to hold together and use their utmost endeavor to distri- bute the new securities as widely as possible among investors.

 Executive Chairman Liberty Loan
 Committee of New England.
 AS far as New England is con cerned this is enough. The same or ganization which has successfully operated in four Liberty Loans will be ready and pulling at the leash by April 21st, and the coming campaign will be carried on with the utmost activity.
 "The problem of the Treasury has been to find an attractive form of security to offer the public. The con siderable discount at which the Sec ond, Third and Fourth Liberty Loan long term bonds are selling, (due en- tirely to the enormous volume which it has been necessary to sell in a short space of time) would make it extremely difficult to sell another long term issue at par unless the rate was made comparatively high
 By establishing not over a 4A% rate on previous issues the Treasury accomplished the remarkable and most economical piece of financing that the world has ever seen. If rates of interest on these various loans had been continuously and substantially increased, we would by this time have had outstanding long term bonds bearing a rate of at probably even then selling at a dis count.
 This, without question, would have drivan down the prices of all other outstanding securities, and would have made difficult, or even impossible, the financing of many good companies, the operation Of which was necessary to the Govern ment during war times.
 ITO issue at this time long term high rate bond would be foolish; for in normal times a 49o Government bond should sell at a substantial pre- mium, and it would be manifestly unwise to saddle the country with a 41a8o or 59o rate for a long period of years. This also would further dep"ess the prices of existing secu- 'ities.
 "The Secretary of the Treasury therefore, has wisely asked, and the proposed bill provides that he be given the right to issue a compara- lively short term security at a rate of interest sufficiently high to make ts sale possible.
 When the armistice was signed the unjustified feeling which sprang up almost over night that as tho war was over there was no further ne cessity for the purchase of Govern ment bonds is, fortunately changing very rapidly.
 The country now realizes that contracts which the Government had made for the active continuation of warfare must be settled; that our men abroad must still be clothed and fed and eventually brought home and demobilized.
 'It is natuc ally impossible to cut of expenses all at once and the Vic tory Liberty Loan must be sold to meet expenses already incurred and only temporarily met by the issue of Treasury Certificates. Americans are not in the habit of leaving unfinished a thing which | they have seriously undertaken and | they will not in this case. The war | financing is not yet finished, so when the time comes everyone, including | those who are good -naturedly grum- 1 bling abc'.t taxes, etc. will put their i E~ndS Gee0 in the" u"' '-"f9 ""i .

 The following is an extract from letter written by Harry Waller from Esch, Luxemburg, under date of Feb. IA, 1919.
 We are still at Luxemburg, and it looks now as if we might remain here for sometime. We hear at times that we may leave soon, but there have been so many false ru- mors in regard to what we are to do, that I decided not to believe any thing until we. start to move We are all ready to go back, at any time although we are very comfortable here, have plenty to eat and dressed warm and as some of the boys say "Why worry" The war is over but at the same time we have the feel ing that we want to go home. Moth. ing to do but to make the best ot the circumstances, and when things are in a more settled condition we hope to come home. Someone must of course stay here for a time ir case there should be an outbreak.
 Am glad to know that Paul Cara. vati is able to be around, after his experience he is very fortunate tc be able to go home.
 Talbot Freeman must have had g wonderful experience, and done some brave deeds, to arn so many medals; certainly a great experience to be able to go back and relate. consider I have been very lucky that l am still here, and hope for g safe return. We are having al sorts of entertainments here. I took part in minstrel show, we played here four nights, and then in severa other towns, now we are getting ur a vaudeville and expect to play every night next week, so I manage to keeI pretty busy. It may be necessary for me to be on detached service.
 I have seen Henry Cudney anc John Graves recently, they are feel ing fine.

 6 SCHOOL NOTES
Companions That Are Worth While
 (By Maitland Adam)
" 0 TUu GK'

A companion is one who associates with another, or sometimes people talk of dogs as companions or even any domestic animal.
 A companion makes one think what is the best thing to do. You would say to yourself "Would my companion do it" or "What will he think of me-? The best companion a boy can have is his father. Be to- gether, think together and live straight. In father a boy has one who will not desert him. No matter how a father is treated by his son he has the same feelings of loyalty and friendship as ever and will all ways help out, if he possibly can.
 A boy in the same way would rather give all his time for the help of his father if necessary.
 A companion of dog makes one feel happier, and make more of life. What is more fun than to roam through the woods with a gun over your shoulder and have fine and favorite dog walking beside you? It makes you feel happy and cheerful.
 During the evening when all is still. what is more fun than to play with some favorite animal? The dog or cat may be taught tricks.
 Everyone should be companion of nature. Learn of all its wonders, become closely acquainted with, it.
 Is it not pleasing to be able to go out in the Spring or Fall and see nature as it really is?
 There is another important com panion-the good book.

Do not anticipate with q shuddering dread
the beautiful event of childbirth. You can
avoid discomfort during the period and
strain at the crisis by preparing your system
and putting yourself In splendid condition
to meet the time.
For just this purpose women all over the
land. in every walk of life, have used for
over half a century the time -honored and
famous remedy, Mothers Friend. It Is pre-
pared to give the mother-to-be that direct
help she needs. The muscles. nerves, ten
dons and cords are made and kept soft and
elastic. Thus strain is avoided, and as q
result nervousness, nausea, beartng-down
and stretching pains are avoided.
The abdominal muscles expand easily and
gently when baby Is born. Naturally, pain
Is less and the hours are fewer. The system
is PREV red and the crisis Is one of much
less d. ger.
Write the Bradfleld Regulator Company,

anything you can think Of
