TO HOLD WAR
 SAVINGS STAMPS
The Needs of The Government Just As Great Now As When War Was In Progress.

Under date of January 3l the lo- cal post office received the following communication from the Third As sistant Postmaster General relative to eashing war savings stamps, and, in view of the fact that there are very few persons who do not own some of these stamps, the information will no doubt be of general interest,"
 To all Postmasters:
 Regulations of the Postmaster Gen eral and instructions of this office heretofore issued have clearly defined your duties in respect to the sale Of war savings certificate stamps and the procedure necessary for their pay ment. They are not transferable but the original owners of these stamps. when properly affixed to a war say ings certificate, are entitled to pay ment after ten days notice in writing unregistered war savings certfi- cates at any money order postoffiee and registered war savings certifi- eates only at the office of registration.
 Many owners of stamps are pre- senting them for payment, seeming lY on the assumption that the govern ment no longer needs the money re ceiyed for them. While it Is true the war is practically at end, it is equally true that large part of the expen- ditures of the war must still be met by the sale of war savings stamps and liberty loan bonds. The sudden termination of the war left the gov ernment involved in expenses that might in part have been avoided if 1t had been known when the war was to end, but Of course 1t was not pos sible 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 savings stamps to aid in meeting them. The expense Of demobilizing the army and navy, the return of the boys from France, the care of our sick and wounded soldiers, and other li- abilities incident to the war, all cal for continuance of the same patri= otic effort that the owners of war savings stamps made during the tra= gic struggle.
 Nevertheless, the original owners of war savings certificates with stamps affixed must be paid if payment is de- manded, but I urgently request every postmaster to appeal to them eourte- ously to refrain from demanding pay ment unless their financial conditions absolutely requires it. l have full faith that when the people understand the needs of our government they will defer asking payment until ma turity of the certificates

C.. T.. SiDple Pr0mnted.-

{. E. Sipple, prominent young trav-
cling man connected with the North
ern Produce Co. of this city, has been
promoted, to the management of the
Grand Forks house which is, as is
Minot, branch house Of the parent
house, the Northern Produce Co.. of
Minneapolis. Mr.. Sipple is young
man of unusual ability as salesman
and the promotion is a ell-deserved
recognition of the confidence and es-
TEEN in which he is held by his super
Tors. G. E. is member of the Minot
Town Criers Club and various frater-
nal organizations of the city and is al
ways ready and willing to share what
ever duties may devolve upon him.
AS the boys all say, he is ''there.''
Minot loses a mighty fine young man
in Mr.. Supple but in his transfer to
Grand Forks we feel that his talents
as well as his loyalty to the old "home
town" will bring him recognition in
his new surroundings.

G. A. HASSEL SECURED
BY THE J. G.. PENNEY co,
Well Known Merchant for Years With
Leland Department Store is Now
Connected with the J. G.. Pen
ney Chain of Stores.

G. A. Hassel, for years connected
with the Leland Department store as
part owner, and manager of several of
its departments, returned from an ex-
tended visit in the east the first of
the week, where arrangements were
made whereby he is soon to take over
the management Of one of the J. c..
Penney stores. Mr.. Hassel was ac-
companied on his trip by Mrs. Hassel.
who has also returned. Mr.. Hassel
visited New York City and other east
ern points. This was his first real
vacation in seventeen years and it
was cut short week or so at that on
account of his decision to go with the
big J. C. Penney concern.
Mr.. Hassel for the present will be
with the big j. C. Penney store, locat-
ed in the Masonic Temple, which is
under the management of G. A. Clapp,
in this city and within a short time
he will be assigned as manager of one
of the stores. There are 200 of the
}. G. Penney stores located in the
United States and it is understood
that more Of them are to established
soon.
Concerning his new work: upon
which he will start Monday, Mr.. Has
sci says: II have been advised by
certain of my eastern friends for years
to consider the j. c. Penney PROPOSE
ton and l will admit that l have been
interested. When l disposed of my
interests in the Leland Department
store, / had several big things in view
and this was one of them After
had visited New York City and met
the men who are at the head of the
concern, and studied their methods of
doing business, the more I realized
that theirs was the best method of
merchandising. I never met a finer
bunch Of men individually or collect
lively than those who are at the head
of the concern in New York City.
When one considers the buying pow
err those 200 stores have collectively,
it must be admitted that their selling
power is equally as big There is
no limit to the growth of the bust
ness and the methods must suit one
with progressive ideas"
The managers of the J. C. Penney
stores always acquire stock as soon
as they become permanently connect
ed with the concern
Mr.. Hassel has made an enviable
record as a merchant and his friends
know that he is going to like his
new position and that the J. C. Pen
ney Co. is sure to learn that they have
made mighty good selection for a
manager.
Mr.. Hasseps many friends are glad
that he has returned to Minot for no
one has ever fitted into the progress
i've spirit of Minot better than he.
Mr.. Hassel has been under tn doc
tors care since his return but will
probably be out Saturday.

BERT MURPHY, D0NNY-
BROOK Soldier, BACK
Had "A Little More than His Share of
the Horrors of War-Was Badly
Wounded Several Times.

Bert Murphy of Donnybrook, one Of
the four sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Pat
Murphy, who enlisted, has returned
from France, arriving in the city
Thursday on his way home Bert
was wounded by machine gun bullet,
the shot passing thru his hip. Besides
TINS wound he was gassed and injured
in other ways which leaves him some
what crippled and with partial par
alysis of the facial muscles Trench
fever and two attacks of the flu also
were instrumental in undermining his
health Bert was a member of the
362nd Infantry, DIST Division. and
was wounded in the Argonne drive,
his division participating in some of
the heaviest fighting on the Verdun
sector. Two Of the Murphy boys had
already arrived home and one, Jene,
IS still in France. Bert enlisted with
a Montana contingent and trained at
Camp Lewis, but was brot back to
Fort Russell, Wyo., where he received
his discharge. The Murphy family
certainly contributed a goodly quota
to Uncle Sans forces and their rec
ord is such that any community may
well be proud Of the patriotic devo-
ton Of these stalwart sons from Rem
vile county.

MinOt Youth Rescues Chum.

Last Sunday Master Harold Ander-
son and Will Kunde, two youths resid-
ing in the northeastern section of the
city, were out on Spring Lake testing
the ice and riding about on the cakes
that f1oated about, when young Kunde
fell into the water and would have
drowned had it not been for the
prompt assistance Of his young COM
panion. The ice cold water had so
numbed the lad that he was helpless
and was going down for the last time
when the Anderson lad crawled out on
the crumbling ice and finally succeed
ed in pulling his chum up on solid
footing. Those who witnessed the
rescue say that the Anderson boy
should be entitled to recognition from
the Carnegie Fund for the heroism
displayed.

Out Where the West Begins.

Earl Glynn of Boston, Mass, an old
friend of J. X. Woodward, display
manager of the Fair store, arrived in
the city Tuesday direct from "The
HUB Mr.. Glynn for several years
has been auditor with the United CT
gar Stores Co., but unable to resist
the longing to Ego west" after the
receipt of letters from his friend
Woodward telling the true facts
about this western country, he decided
to resign his position and come out
here and become a real westerner. He
Is anxious to secure job on a ranch,
preferably one where large number
of cattle are kept, Although "ten-
DETROIT from the ''bean" country,
we believe Mr.. Glynn has the quail
ties which go toward the production of
genuine coWman and trust he will
be successful in securing a situation.
Mr.. Glynn in speaking of the re-
cent return Of President Wilson from
the Peace conference said that ex-
IRENE precautions were taken at Bos-
ton upon his arrival to prevent a rep
et]tlon of the Bolsheviki attack on
Premier Clemenceau and double lines
of marines lined the streets over
which the President proceeded to his
hotel. Airships circled about the
procession also as an extra precau-
ton. The line of march, as special
mark of respect proceeded past the
residence of Col. Logan commander of
the 26th Division in order that Mrs.
Logan who is an invalid might have
an opportunity to view the parade.
Two transports loaded with members
of the 26th Division were scheduled
to arrive at Boston Saturday morning
last and a splendid reception was be-
ing planned for them when Mr.. Glynn
left the city

The Farmers octette encostume,
made one of the big hits of the even
ing and their mimicing of the various
animals to be found upon the farm
was so realistic that it is certain that
they must have MIXED the COW that
gave the buttermilk and driven the
poultry to water in their bOyhood
days back on the farm.
Orrin M. Pierce and Ira Wight, who
have numerous accomplishments, rem
dered "Then you'll remember me-"
first on the fiddle and banjo, then on
the cornet and trombone, and finally
their melodious voices rang out with
the song itself. Well remember 'em,
all right.
Carl Cox gave a monologue over
the telephone and did some good Vic
tory loan advertising.
A caravan from Egypt marched
thru the room as the song "Hindu-
STAN was rendered.
Officers Dougherty and Reed en-
tered the room and after looking the
assemblage over pretty thoroly arrest
ed one Dahl for grand larceny. Lat
er he was released as it was announc-
ed that he had stolen the money with
which to purchase Victory bonds.
Capt. Archibald D. Mcdaniel was
the POSTMASTER and called first on
Father Jos. Raith, of st. Leo's Catho-
lie church. Father Raith, referring to
the ending of the great conflict, said:
"We are all glad that America has
won it. 1t was four years before the
line of the enemy was pierced and the
American Doughboys did the trick.
Victory was won with the most ire
mendous sacrifice of lives and money.
It is estimated that the war cost all
nations concerned 500 billion dollars.
Now that the war is over, it is equally
as important that the work of recon-
struction should 60 on. There is 80
much discomfort in the world that it
would not require much effort for
discomfort to get the upper hand. A
man should see the work of recon-
struction from a business standpoint
if not from a patriotic standpoint
Speaking of the coming Victory loan,
he said that the security was the very
best in the world. He was given
hearty applause.
Rev. Mr.. Gullixson, pastor of the
First Lutheran church, gave a very
eloquent address. He spoke of the
work done by our soldiers and could
not see how the civilians could fail to
respond to their country's need for
funds to pay for what 80 many Of our
boys paid their share with their lives,
Referring to two brothers who were
in the war, one with the Canadian ar.

army, he told of reading letter that
one brother wrote to his mother in
which he stated: II am glad that
George is in it, for feel that every
man should do his bit" One of the
brothers lies in a little spot back in
the Argonne forest that will be for
ever America and the other lies sleep
ing somewhere in France. They did
their bit and now we should do ours.
Nicholas Vanderpuyl of the U. S.
department of labor gave one Of the
best talks of the evening. He gave up
chair in University to work for the
government and he gave two sons to
the cause of liberty, one Of whom will
never come back.
"Our most priceless possession in
America is our spirit of America" was
the theme Of Rev. p w. Erickson's
remarks. "Our greatest struggle was
fought on the shores of America-the
silent struggle that went on for two
years before America got into the war.
1t was the spirit Of America wrestling
with the propaganda of the Hun.
April showed that the spirit of Am
erica was true to the traditions of our
forefathers. The message was sent
across the waters, we are coming to
lick He'll out of Kaiser Bill We
should not consider this merely as an
investment, but as ours patriotic
duty.
Curtis Johnson, Of Rush City, Mimi,
gave the main address of the evening.
He came prepared to stir up enthus-
,iasm for the Victory Loan. After the
gathering, he paid Minot a splendid
compliment when he declared that the
work was three-fourths done before
he ever got started. Mr.. Johnson is a
member of the executive board of the
Minnesota State fair and for years has
been engaged in the hardware bust
ness at Rush City. For an entertain
ing lecture, full of common sense, Mr..
Johnson's effort has never been sur
passed in the city.
