COUNTERFEIT STAMP HAS
MUMPS.

Postmaster, Red Ash, today issued
warning to thrifty persons here
abouts to be OH their guard against
buying counterfeit War Savings
Stamps. Fraudulent blue stamps of
the 1919 series have been made bv
counterfeiters, the postmaster has
been advised, and are being sold to
the unwary.
But the frauds can be easily de-
tected," the postmaster said. "Ben
tranklin's picture appears on the
stamp, and in the counterfeit stamp,
old Ben seems to have the humps
in his left jaw. Indeed, there is n
pronounced swelling. Then under the
portrait the lower OF the two left
dots is comparatively indistinct, and
the vertical opening between the lines
in the lower left part of the numcrul
"2" in the date 1924" is closed. Tho
principal feature of the fraud, how
ever, is the swollen check.
ut should be remembered that tho
counterfeit is only of the 1919 scries.
and, like the original, is blue. Blue
War Savings Stamps can no longer
be bought from post offices or other
authorized agencies. Only the 1920
stamps, which are red, are now being
sold by agencies. Sale of last years
stamps are not legal. No one should
buy n 1919 stamp, though it is true
that some have been improperly of
fered for sale.
Everyone who bought 1919 stamps
last year may feel perfectly SAFE"
the postmaster said in conclusion.
because the counterfeit was not
made until after the first of this
year The blue stamp had been with
drawn from sale by the authorized
agencies, and the red 1920 stamp was
being sold. Don't buy any 1919 stamps
and keep look out for the picture
of the man with the mumps. If you
see one let me know"

SALVATION ARMY FINDS MISS.
ING PEOPLE.

Richmond, Va, April 3l.-Thc
work of seeking and finding missing
persons, carried on by the Salvation
Army through its department of in
quiry and investigation, has increas-
ed more than 100 per cent since the
cessation of hostilities in Europe, ac-
cording to statistics received Mt the
headquarters of the Army i'm Rich
mond.
Thirty-three persons who had been
lost to their friends and families
were located by the department of
investigation and inquiry of The Sal
walton Army in New York City dur
ing the month Of March. This is re-
garded rs a record by the officers in
charge of the bureau, for as cases
go missing persons are hard to find
Some times the workers are asked
TO trace persons who have not been
heard from in 10 or IL years and
concerning whom absolutely nothing
is known.
The American branch Of this work
handles more than 5000 cases an
nually, while the international de-
partment in London reports that last
year it dealt with 100000 requests.
The labors and facilities of this
branch of the Salvations Army'c vast
undertakings are open to any one.
Those in charge of them urge that
individuals seeking information of
any sort regarding friends or rela-
tives allow this bureau to help.
Each of the last five presidents of
the United States has seen fit publicly
to invite the attention of the nation
to the Salvation Army and its work
for 1.-THE betterment of humanity and
the making of bad citizens into good
Ones" as President Wilson put it.
President Roosevelt praised the Army
for working effectively in those dark
regions where, save for its force,
only evil is powerful" President Taft
asserted that it's practical methods
of charity are of the highest useful
ness"
All through the rigorous winter
the Salvation Army distributed free
coal to the poor and destitute. Last
yea 1,632,G27 popnds were given
away. Even with the coming of
spring. this sort of charity is not
abandoned. When summers hot wave
strikes the cities, ice is supplied with
out cost to those unable to purchase
i. In 1919, 315,913 pounds of ice were
given out in this manner. The Army's
work is never done.

DON'T SPECULATE: INVEST

A. Barton Hepburn in Leslie's: My
first advice to the man who has saw
ed few hundred or thousands is
invest it and don't speculate with it.
Investing is merely putting your saw
ings back into the common fund of
the country for use III increasing pro-
duction. Practically, investing is
buying securities with the intention of
retaining them for the sake of their
return in dividends or interest. Spe-
culating Ito use polite term) is
buying securities with the hope of sell
ing them later at an advanced price.
Most people are not in position to
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1920-04-14

speculate without undue hazard. They
might by a mere stroke of luck, buy
certain stock and sell it at just the
right time to make big profit, but
the gambling instinct would lead to
similar transactions in which luck
would change, and the money so quick
ly gained would be as quickly lost.
1t is most peoples obligation to them
selves and to the community to invest
their savings. The question is, what
to buy?
The bonds of our government, our
states and our cities, of course, lands

lions or the unsecured bonds of very
strong corporations come next, while
preferred stock involves less risk for
the holder than common stock. The
possibilities for returns are, of course,
generally in inverse ratio to the safe
y. Amy type of these securities of
good and established corporations,
however, are prudent investments.
The main point is, that after such in
vestments are made, the securities
should be put away in ones strong
box, and whether their market price
goes up or down should not seriously
worry their possessor. The facts to
watch and have some real knoWled9
concerning are the value of the as
sets of the corporation and the eff

Opposed To Big
PeaCe Time Army.

In speech in the House OF
r representatives al Washing ton
several days ago, Congressman
Thomas W. Harrison, of the
Seventh District, declared his
opposition to compulsory mill
tary training in times of peace.
While Approving of draft law
in time of war, he declared his
opposition to placing the burden
of compulsory military training
expenses upon the taxpayers, and
the duties it would impose upon
the young men who are now bad
ly needed on the farms and in
other use ul pursuits.
If we are given a great mill
tary establishment" he said. re.
ferring to plans for compulsory
military training, IF we intro
duce as part of our program
compulsory military training in
time of peace, then we rob the
American people of the great
victory, won at the expense of so
much blood and treasure. The
American people will never stand
for great professional army,
carrying a billion or more dollars
annual burden on the taxpayers.
with its attendant compulsory
service"
Congressman Harrison also has
recently introduced bill which
would permit the working O.
federal convicts on public roads.
This bill has been referred to the
committee on the judiciary.
