LET GOVERNMENT
BUY SECURITIES
When You Sell War Savings Seeuri-
ties Get Full Value.

tAfF WV haA
Certain persons in the community
are making the Widespread unemploy-
ment and consequent need Of ready
funds the occasion Of a systematic
attempt TO take advantage Of the hold
ers Of War Savings snd Treasury Saw
ings Certificates by offering TO pur-
chase same at much less than their ac-
tual value. All holders Of such evil
dences Of savings deposits with the
Government should be warned that
the yare not transferable, that the
original owner can cash them for their
full present value at the post office at
any time; and that there is not only
no advantage whatever to be gained
by disposing Of them TO private per
sons, but that in most cases the object
Of such private persons offering TO
buy the Stamps AID Certificates ia to
pay much less than their actual value
and subsequently to defraud the Gov
ernment (having already beaten the
owner) by means Of false affidavits
when the altered certificates are pre-
sented for payment.
A workman who had been out Of
work for some time found it neces-
sary recently to cash two 500 Treas
ury Savings Certificates. Instead OF
going directly to the post office where
he could have obtained the full pres
ent value, $91 80 each, Of the certif-
Gates which were purchased for $s2.40
in 1918, he fell into the clutches Of one
Of the men referred TO and was on the
point Of selling his certificates to this
Individual for $50 piece when some
friend spoiled the deal by showing the
owner Of the certificates that he would
be losing over s63 Of his hard earned
and much needed money by the trans
action.
When the deal was nipped in this
minner, il had gone so far uat the
owner had erased his name and adj
dress from one Of the certificates. By
doing this he risked making it entire
ly worthless. He was, however, able
to prove TO the satisfaction Of the
postal authorities that the certificates
were originally issued to him, and so
he was able TO procure the cash which
they represented.
The story carries two important
morals for all holders Of Government
Savings securities. One is: Don't sell
your savings securities to anybody but
the Government, because nobody else
is likely to pay the full current value,
for the reason that it is illegal to sell
them or for anybody but the original
owner to cash them, and the people
who are in the business Of purchasing
these securities are violating the law
and must be indemnifed against the
risk which they are assuming. The
other lesson is: Do not make any
erasures on one Of these certificates.
1t may make it entirely worthless and
at the least viii put you TO a great
deal Of trouble and inconvenience To-
prove that the alteration was in good
faith and that the certificate is indeed
your property and that you are the
original owner.

CREAMERY AND
MARKET NEWS LETTER
Skipping Mix Versus Manufacture Of
Ruffef

Butter
The greatest problems confronting
the Vermont daiymen and their
ereameries at the present time are
those problems connected with the net
returns for milk shipped as market
milk compared with the net returns
for the milk and cream manufactured
into butter and the various other dairy
products. The entire situation has
reached the point when it behoOyes
every dairyman as well as every
creamery 20 seriously study their OWL
conditions relative to the most profit
able manner In disposiug Of their milk
or cream. Too many dairymen and
eroameries are inclined to overlook
those facts which are evident and
which affect the price Of dairy pro-
ducts, such as surplus, hauling
charges, the feeding value e skimmilk
and hattermilk and the extra care and
cost in handling milk as compared
with cream sold for manufacture Of
butter and apparently many Of them
see only the price per quart for milk
delivered In Boston.
For the purpose q showing the
comparative net returns TO producers
for milk shipped as market milk and
20 producers who SKINNED their milk
at home and had the cream manufac-
tured into butter at local creamery,
figures were obtained from two fac
tories in the same zOEe serving both
groups Of producers. These figures
which show the net returns TO the pro-
ducers cover a period Of nine months,
from January 1921 TO September 1921.
The comparison is made between a
factory owned by Boston milk dealer
which ships milk ard a cooperative
creamery which manufactures butter
exclusively.
In order TO arrive al the actual net
returns to both groups Of pt3ducers,
the costs Of handling milk at tse farm
compared with the costs of handling
cream, and the costs Of hauling milk
compared with hauling cream were
taken into consideration. The produc-
ers who sold milk were charged .029c
per cwt. Of ice for cooling milk COM
pared with .00lsc per cwt. Of ice
ch1rged producers who sold cream and
kept the skimmilk at home for feeding
purposes. The Cost of ice was fisLfed
at $500 per ton. A hauling charge Of
25c per cwt. on milk was allowed
against a hauling charge Of &c per ID.
butterfat, or Lille per ewt. Of milk
sold as cream. Producers who sold
milk were required to haul il daily
whereas producers who sold cream
made only three trips a week TO the
creamery. Producers who SKINNED
the milk at home were allowed SOC
per cwt. for the skimmilk or .425c for
IS lbs. for feeding purpose. There is
also value Of buttermilk returned to
the farmers for feeding purposes, but
IL is not considered in the prices be-
low. In figuring the actual net re-
turns to the producers the ice and
hauling charges we're deducted from
the prices paid by both plants to the
producers.
