That Vegetable the Foundation Of
Sticky Substance That is Used
on Postage Stamps.

Every time a person licks United
States postage stamp he gets taste
of q sweet potato. The gum on the
stamps comes from that vegetable. AL.
of the gum used on the stamps IS
mixed Mt the bureau of engraving and
printing, where the stamps are made.
1t is spread on the sheets after the
stamps have been printed.
In liquid form, the gum is forced
up through pipes from the basement,
where ii is made. These pipes lead
to series of machines consisting or
rollers between which the sheets
stamps are fed one at time. fine
spray of the liquid falls upon the roll
ers. The sheet with its wet coating
of sweet potato mucilage passes from
the rollers into long horizontal tiue
filled with hot air. When 1t comes
out at the other end OF the tiue the
gum Is dry.
There are two kinds of postage
muciIage. If one could see the pack
ages of Stamps as they come TO the
Iu>1ofice ready to be sold, one would
find them labeled. according to season,
summer gum or "winter gum" The
former is much the harder of the two,
and was devised to keep the stamps
from getting sticky in warln. moist
weather.

Burglars Doing Bushes.
Store Robbed At Franklinville:
Garage At ThurmOnt.

Sometime Tuesday night burglars
entered the store at Franklinville one
and half miles north of Thurmont
conducted by Henry Martin. A gen
eral line of groceries and auto Access
series are kept IN stock, the store be-
ing the best conducted at that place
for some years, it is said.
The burglars carried away goods
estimated to be worth 800. The
robbery was discovered Wednesday
morning when Mr.. Martin went to
open the store.
On the same night the garage in
the rear of M. l.. Creagcr e. Son $
undertaking establishment, in Thur
mont was entered and two new tires
for a Ford car were taken. Two in
ner tubes are also missing. The
tires and tubes were standing near
the Ford truck and had never been
used. Other tires of larger cars were
in the shed, but were not disturbed.
There seems to be no clue as to
who the thieves might be.

SMALL CAPITALISTS
RAPIDLY INCREASING
GROWING NUMBER OF MODEST
INVESTORS CONSIDERED SIGN
OF NATIONAL PROS
PERITY

One of the most hopeful signs for
the future of this nation is the ever
increasing list of small investors. This
movement, which gained such great
stimulus through the issue of Liberty
Bonds, is now continuing with added
momentum. Having once tested the
joys of coupon clipping, having learned
the rewards OF economy and thrift the
man of small means has become an
inveterate investor
Never before has the absolute safety
of investment in government securities
been so coup'ed with opportunity for
sure profit as al the present time. LIB
erty Bonds, Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates and Savings Stamps offer the
chance for every man, woman and
wild to join the ranks of the capitalists
and to do so without inconvenience or
danger of loss.
Equally important is the effect on
the habits of the people The
movement strikes directly at the ma
tional vice of extrvagance. Already
it has done much to change the Unit
ed States from nation of spenders to
a nation of savers and the end is not
yet.
