POSTAL SAVINGS.
Important Changes to be inaugural
ed with the New Year,

Important Changes to be inaugural
ed with the New Year.
The treasury and postoffice de-
partments have adopted radica
changes in the postal savings d.
vision, to go into effect January 1.
War savings and thrift stamps are
eliminated.
The 81 treasury stamp will re-
main on sale, and will be the small
est unit issued by the treasury de-
partment.
On December l postal savings ia
cilities were extended to all third
and fourth-class postoffices in the
district whose records showed &C
tivity in the sale of thrift and war
savings stamps.
The plan for 1922 is simply this ::
Former purchasers of thrift and
war savings stamps are urged to
continue their practice of saving
without interruption.
Ten-cent postal savings stamps
will be sold instead of thrift stamps,
and postal savings certificates or
treasury savings stamps for demon
nations of 81 and upwards.
AS fast as any individual holding
of postal savings certificates or
treasury savings stamps accumu-
lates to $40 or more, the owner may
exchange for treasury savings GER
tificates.
Postal savings certificates are is
sued in denominations of 81, So, SIS,
$40, $40, $50, $500, 5000 and
$500. They are sold at their face
Vo1nn and
time at this value plus interest at
per cent. if the amount has been
on deposit year or more.
Treasury savings certificates are
issued in denominations of $25,
500 and $1,000. They yield in
terest at the rate of Az per cent.
compounded semi-annually il held
to maturity. They increase in val.
ne automatically each month they
are held, according to a schedule OF
guaranteed values which are made
a part of the provisions of the Ger.
tificate.
They are sold at fiat prices as
follows: $40 for $25 maturity
value; $50 for 500 maturity value;
$500 for $1,000 maturity value
They mature five years from the
date of issue. The limit of owner,
ship of any one issue is now $4,000
instead of $1,000 as heretofore
They are practically tax exempt.
This plan, combining the advan,
tages of the postal savings and the
treasury savings departments is sc
elastic and comprehensive that it
will fit the pocketbook of all.

SWANS ISLAND CABLE.
Wreck of Schooner Illustrates Need
of Communication.

| VI
The need of cable connection be-
tween Swans Island and the main
land is strikingly illustrated by the
wreck of the schooner Howard Rus
sell, valued at $4,000, and now
again, lying on her beam ends in
Mackerel Cove, Swans Island, after
unsuccessful attempts to save her.
The Russell sank at her moorings
on December Is, having struck on
submerged weir-stakes Because of
no cable communication, it was slow
work getting aid, and it was not I'M
I'll five days later that the cutter
Ossipee arrived. Then (the pity of
it, it was found that the cutter had
spent the night after the Russell
was wrecked anchored off another
point of the island. A telephone to
the mainland, wireless to the Ossi-
pee, and she would have been beside
the Russell in few hours.
Now the schooner is impaled on
several more weir-stakes, it is be-
lieved. and efforts to float her have
oeen abandoned until warmer
weather, when divers can be used.
"A correspondent from Swans Is
land says:
Gable communication must be
established promptly, and heed paid
by the government to the numerous
wrecks on and about Swans Island
In the past and at present, and to
the possibility of many others in the
future. 1t seems strange that a gov
eminent spending millions on i'm
provement of waterways and har-
bors would allow the fine harbors of
Swans Island, much frequented by
vessels of the coastwise traffic, to be
without communication, and for the
only available harbor on the north
side of the island, useo in the past
by large fleet of mackerel catchers
and others, and now much used by
coasters and other shipping, to be-
come filled with submerged weir
stakes."-

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
(By the Pupils.)

The fall term of the Ellsworth
high school ended Friday, Dec. 10,
after a fifteen-weeks' term. The
whole number of pupils registered
was TT, of whom 172 attended
long enough to be counted as reg
ular pupils These 172 pupils had
an aggregate attendance of 12,064
days-an average attendance OF 1853
each day, or 94.S7 per cent.
Fifty-fve pupils were present at
every session of the term, and "A
nave a perfect attendance record,
the other II having been tardy one
or more times. Those whose record
was perfect are Louise Alexander,
Dana Austin, Charles Barton, Alvin
Beal, Everett Beal, Melvin Bunker,

Fifty-four pupils were tardy dur
ing the term, with total Of 1O1
tardinesses. Some half dozen of
these are old offenders, with five or
six tardy marks against their names.
These students should realize that
they are spelling the attendance
record of the whole school, which
is otherwise very good. If every
one would make it point never to
be late for a school session, our
records would be much better.

A Love Romance.

The Dirigo picture for Friday,
I'm Walked Mary" will appeal to
all who enjoy dramatic romance.
In it June Caprice appears in her
first Albert Capellani picture as a
star in her own right.
To a bachelor about to wed a
widow, pretty, unchaperoned young
girls are not the most welcome of
guests. He turns her over to his
financee, who is marrying Dick only
for his money. Her hero's engage
ment to another is sad blow to
Mary, but when she learns the truth
of the situation she has walked into,
she does her utmost to right it, and
then walks out. But, paradoxically
speaking, when she walked out she
walked into, Dicks heart, satisfying
everyone cohcerned.-Advt.

"The Thirteenth Commandment. /,

Rupert Hughes Thirteenth Com
mandment" created stir when it
ran serially in a popular magazine
and later as a novel. Now it has
been adapted to the screen, and will
be shown, with Ethel Clayton in the
leading role at the Dirigo to-mor-
row.
The heroine is the pampered
daughter of middle western mer-
chant. When she becomes engaged
to young New Yorker, she sup
poses him to be rich because he
spends lots of money on her. But a
trip to the metropolis shows her
that he is really poor and is making
tremendous sacrifices to satisfy her
whims.-Advt.

"The Egg-Crate Wallop" is the
peculiar title of Saturdays picture
at the Dirigo. but when that wallop

literally, and there are no eggs, but

punch lands just where it should.
There are love and humor and mys-

One OF the great constructive
achievements of President Roose-
welt is in danger. The United
States Forest Service is threatened
in bills introduced in Congress pro-
vlding for transferring the Forest
Service in whole or in part from the
department of Agriculture to the
department of the Interior. In the
department of Agriculture the For
est Service and the national forests
are safe and well managed. Their
purpose is to grow trees, and they
belong naturally in the department
which has to do with growing crops.
Forestry is part of agriculture.
The Interior Department is the real
estate agent of the government It
is not the business of real estate
agent to grow crops on forest or
farm, AS matter of fact, when
the Interior Department had charge
or the national forests years ago,
they were so badly handled that
President Roosevelt was forced to
insist upon their transfer to the
Department Of Agriculture. The
progress of forestry in America
dates from that change.

will relieve the public, directly, of

in taxes. it is estimated, but the
greatest actual benefit will be in the
saving of annoyance caused by
these well-termed nuisance" taxes.
The actual saving to the pocket
books of consumers will be little,
for most of these taxes are passed
along to be paid by the manu-
facturer, this of course being added
TO the cost Of the article, and as is
the nature of all such indirect taxes,
they are always multiplied before
reaching the consumer.
