NEW SAVINGS SECURITIES
TO ARRIVE HERE SOON

Within the next few days the post
master here expects to receive his
new supply Of Government savings
securities to be sold during 1921.
The new securities include the we'll
known rs cent green Thrift stamp,
a new 81 Savings stamp bearing a
likeness of Alexander Hamilton, the
first secretary Of the treasury; 1921
SIS Savings stamp, larger than the
present ones, orange in color are
bearing portrait Of Lincoln; new
$25 Treasury Savings Certificate as
we'll as the precent 500 and $1,000
Treasury savings certificate.
In calling attention to the fact that
the Government has made permanent
the sale Of Savings securities, David
F. Houston, Secretary Of the Treas
ury, emphasizes that endeavOrs will
be made to promote the continued
popular purchase of the government
savings securities.
In line with this thought, the gov
eminent seeks to familiarize the pub
lie with the advantages Of the Saw
ings securities as means OF safe and
convenient investment and the sug-
gestion is made by the government
savings organization that all who
can will form the habit of regularly
buying these securities.
In the meantime the postmaster
is wondering who viii be the first here
to purchase the new 81 and the new
$25 savings certificate.

HARNESSES WINDS FOR
ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT

Something new in the way of farm
improvements has just been installed
on his'fine farm in FROM township
by Carl Opsata. Mr.. Opsata has
been wiring his farm buildings for
lighting and casting about for some
source Of cheap power to furnish the
current a way was found to use the
breezes that circulate over the FROM
hills.
A special windmill manufactured
by the Wyndmere Electric corpora
ton was secured and set up on a 40
foot hill close to the farm buildings.
The tower and mast of the mill carry
the wheel up 50 feet further putting
the wheel "a feet in the air. The
wheel is ID feet in diameter and has
belt running in channel around
its circumference and around pull
ley on the generator shaft. The gen.
orator is located underneath the
windwheel on the end Of bracket
which turns with the mast and is
therefore kept in proper relation to
the windwheel. The speed of the
wheel is corrected by governors on
the vanes and the generator is espe-
cially constructed for use with the
slow moving wind wheel. The 16-cell
battery is located in the basement of
the house. Mr.. Opsata has a Rob-
bins and Meyers portable quarter
horsepower motor, (which can be at
tached in a few seconds to the churn,
separator, washing machine, grind
stone or any other small piece Of ma
chincry. Lights have been convent
emily placed about the barns, sheds,
garage and yard, as we'll as through
out the house, and light and power is
being furnished very cheaply, indeed.
A large water tank has been con-
structed of concrete in the base of
the tower and a we'll has been dug
beneath it. The wind wheel will be
connected to this and water supplied
to the house and barns through the
many feet Of piping already in place.
Mr.. Opsata is to be congratulated
upon his success in bringing this ad-
ditional Improvement to this section.

BEFORE AND AFTER
MARRIAGE SHOPPING
Bv Harold D. Jacobs.


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Dec. 14.-There is no
business that furnishes better OPP
portunity to study human psychology
than that of selling jewelry, accord
ing to William Barthman, who, for
more than a quarter of a century, has
had a shop in Maiden Lane, the dia-
mond center of America.
"One can invariably forecast the
married life of a couple by their atti-
tude when they come in to buy the
engagement ring" he said today.
1T is easy to tell which will DOM
mate after the wedding ceremony
from their actions during the pur-
chase. If she makes the selection and
fixes the price, you may depend upon
it that she will make most of the de-
cisiOns after they are married, and
vice versa. 1t is also possible to tell
whether she will be thrifty or spend
thrift"
Barthman cited an instance of
young couple who came in to buy
diamond solitaire. The youth very
delicately let his sweetheart under
stand that he did not feel able to pay
more than $4OO or $500. But every
ring she decided upon was valued at
81 200 to $500. They finally COM
promised on one costing about 5000,
about twice what he had intended to
pay.
"And if had been that young man
I would have been tempted to call it
off right there" the grey-haired jew
eler declared.
Barthman was asked how the aver
age young man determines the size of
the engagement ring.
"Well, a few of them bring their
! fiances right in to try on" he re-
piled. ''Some obtain from US card
board arrangement to fix the size.
Others knot string about her finger,
or try one of the rings she already
has on one of their fingers. But the
great majority just guess at it-and
usually guess wrong. Most of those
who guess select ring too large,
probably assuming they will be on the
safe side when it comes to readjust-
ing it. But it is just as easy to make
a ring larger as it is to make it small
err"
What does the average young man
buy his sweetheart, in theiway of
jewelry, and what does the average
married man buy his wife?
Barthman said that gold or silver
meshbags are the most popular gift
during the courtship period, with gold
bracelets and pearl opera glasses run
ming a close second. After marriage
the woman usually demands a. pear

London, Dec. 1.-(By MaiD-A 81
gantic labor union is being organized
in India by leaders who frankly state
that they will attempt to use the strike
weapon to obtain political indepen-
dence for India. Ben Spoor, British
labor member of Parliament, who is
going to India in the dual role of
emissary of the English Labor party
and as a delegate to the India nation
al congress which meets at Nagpor,
Dec. Is, is very optimistic about the
spread of unionism in the land OF the
Rajah. :.
"The~Labor federation of India is
q two-bladed sword with which the
Indian workers can sever the ties OF
British rule and economic slavery at
the same stroke" declared Spoor to
the United Press. "The federation
will speedily enroll millions of work.
ers, as all that is necessary is to or
ganize the different castles, which are
themselves really iron bound unions,
simply awaiting leadership.
''The strike is new weapon IN In
dian hands but they are beginning to
feel it's power, which accounts for the
epidemic of strikes now breaking over
India. I have no doubt but that In
dia will see the growth of the biggest
centralized union in the world within
the next year or two and it is natural
that direct action should follow along
the lines of a struggle for political
freedom. The British Labor party is
in closest accord with the aims OF
the Indian labor movement and l am
empowered to extend them our fra
ternal greetings and promise OF as
sistance."
The National India congress, one of
the biggest political organizations IN
the world, with membership Of over
seven millions pledged to work for
India's freedom, has pledged its re-
sources to aid the laborites, according
to Secretary Blizzard. of the British
committee of the congress.
"The fact that some of our mem
bers are in the capitalist class will
rot prevent US extending co-opera-
ton to the Indian labor movement"
he said. "We expect the Labor Fed
Grafton of India to become our most
effective ally. We have backed Can
dhi and his non-violent noncO-opera-
ton, but naturally this is slow way
of arousing the national conscious
ness. India is unquestionably in the
mood for radical organization to as
sumo leadership.
