on Swift street is in place and the fin
ish will go in shortly. The Stoughton
road would have been all finished Mon

The Highway Trailer company dur
ing the last thirty days did between 40
and so per cent of normal business. In
view of the fact that nearly every 9TH
er trailer concern in the country is at a
complete standstill, the Edgerton fac
tory may be said to be doing very well
indeed. Judging by orders coming in,
the prospects for increase in business
are encouraging. However, the officials
are not looking for any boom conditions
! in the trailer line. Ohe Of the most
cheering phases of the situation is the
marked increase in the efficiency of the

Bonds and Victory Notes in the Sew

scribed in this district. Holders of large
blocks of these securities are taking
advantage of the low market rate on
Liberty Bonds and purchasing more of
the government bonds with their inter-
est coupons. Every coupon clipper has
the same opportunity. Even the holder
of $50 or 500 bond, treasury officials
point out, need not be deprived of an
opportunity to let their interest money
make money for them. Postmaster
Hoen announces that coupons will be
accepted as cash at the post office in
payment for Treasury Savings securi-
| ties which are issued in denominations
of Is cents to $1,000. The SIS stamp
and the S25, $1O0 and 1000 certificates
yield per cent compounded quarterly.
Thousands of Liberty Bond holders are
converting their interest coupons into
Treasury Savings twice year, realiz-
ing that it is the safest investment in
the world.
