HOLD WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS UNTIL MATURITY

Washington, D. c.. April 1s.-own-
ers of the 1918 issue of War Savings
stamps are being advised by Lew
Wallace, Jr., Director OF the Savings
Division OF the United States Treas
ury Department. to hold them until
their maturity on January l, 1928
about months hence. In that per-
iod they will earn over IS per cent in
terest per annum on the average cost
price, 1t was pointed out.
To give some idea Of the advantage
of holding these 1918 stamps until
their maturity date, Director Wallace
states that $1,000 worth of stamps
costing $3.50 in 1918. are worth ss2t
during the current month, but in
months they win be redeemed in cash
by the government for $1,000. or $74
more than their present cash, value.

BIGSANDY COAL
MINES RUN FULL
Strike is on at Four Mines,
But Others are Oper-
ating.

A large. tonnage Of coal, amounting
TO nearly 500 cars per day, is going
out of the Big Sandy field at pres
ent.
Only four large mines are down.
Ihese are Whitehouse, Muddy Branch,
Van Lear and Auxier. The miners are
out at these places in obedience to the
strike cali or in sympathy ttfnerewiittii,. 4.
The union is not recognized at any Of
these places.
At all other points the mines are
going full time, and giving the men
plenty to do at good wages. The price
OF coal has been too low to give op-
orators any profit until the last few
days, when It has advanced somewhat.
The coal strike has not yet caused
any serious trouble in the fields most
effected by it. Both sides seem de-
termined to fight 1t out. If 1t takes all

CRUDE OIL MAY
GO UP NEXT MONTH

Lima, Ohio, April 16The past week
in the crude oil fields o the United
States shows d decided Improvement
in the refined market, and with this
situation, many operators are of the
belief that crude prices win show in
creases within the next month. How
ever, general increase In prices of
crude is not probable at this time, as
production in many of the fields has
reached such high mark that an ad-
vance is entirely out of the question.
The price OF gasoline has been ad-
vanced this week and the demand will
increase when settled spring weather
and better road conditions arrive.
