NEW VICTORY STAMPS.

The new Victory Stamp commemo-
rating the successful outcome of the
World War, has just been issued by
the Postofice Department, and has
made its appearance at the Pleasant
vile postofhce. The denomination is
three cents, and in appearance the
new stamp is very similar to the pres
ent %three-cent stamp, being the same
size and a light purple in color, with
the engraved figure of Liberty Victor
ious" standing out against a back
ground of flags of the five nations
which shared in winning the war. The
number of Victory Stamps printed is
limited, and postmasters have been
instructed to supply them to users
only when special request is made for
them. 1t is likely that because of the
limited edition that the stamps will
command a premium before many
months pass.

SMITHS LANDING NOTES.


Spring is very much in evidence.
Considerable blowing and planting is
the order of the day.
This section, in keeping with the
other portion of the City, went dry
last year; the wells have afforded
scarcely any water and kind neighbors
having water were obliging to the ex-
tent that theirs is about consumed.
The greater suffering is through Co.
lumbia venue. The Water Company
is considering the matter of having a
main and fire plug placed in this
street.
Much illness has prevailed during
the winter, with very few deaths. Mr..
Isaiah Casper. of fremont avenue, is
recovering from pneumonia. Mrs.
Clark, of Columbia avenue, is able to
be out again.
Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church was
crowded last Sabbath afternoon. The
annual sermon to the Colored Lodge,
K. of P. was delivered by Pastor
Payne.
The colored ministers of the City
have been notified by the President of
their Union, Rev. Morris, to have all
choirs and congregations assemble
this Sabbath afternoon at St. Paul's
Church for a grand union service.

Talk about hard times. What do
you mean, say? The wages of the

Coal, Etc.

Germany is to deliver annually
for ten years to France coal equiva-
lent TO the difference between an
nual pre-war output of Nord and
Pas de Calais mines and annual pro-
duction during above ten-year
period. Germany further gives op-
tions over ten years for delivery
of 100000 tons coal per year to
France in addition to the above of
100000 tons to Belgium, and of an
amount rising from four and a half
million tons in 1919 to 1920 to eight
and a half million tons in 1928 to
1924 to Italy at prices to be fed, as
prescribed in the treaty. Coke may
be taken in place of coal in ratio
Of three tons to four. Provision is
also made for delivery to France
over three years of benzol, coal tar
and Of ammonia. The commission
has powers to pospone or annul the
above deliveries should they inter
fere unduly with the industrial re-

liveries in kind Germany is required,
for limited number of years, vary
ing in the case of each, to deliver
coal, coal-tar products, dyestuff and
chemical drugs, in specific amounts
to the reparation commission. The
commission may so modify the con-
ditions of delivery as not to inter
fere unduly with Germany's indus
trial requirements. The deliveries
