CONVERTING WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS INTO GER TIFlC CATES
Postmaster For'sberg Explains New
!: Proposition to Tribune +
II Readers T.

.e Arrangements have. been made for
paying or converting the 1918 issue
Of War Savings Stamps thru the Fed
eral Reserve banks. The government
offers the follo owing propositions to
holders Of savings stamps: r.
You may exchange your stamps
for the largest amount Of Treasury
Savings Certificates they will buy,
and receive the balance in n3cash. For
instance, if you have 80 War Savings
Stamps, the maturity value of which
is $100. you may take Treasury
certificate with a maturity value in
five years Of $100, the present price
Of which is 1872, and receive SIS in
cash.
You may take the $1OO certificate
as above and by renting $3.50 cash
with the surrendered stamps you
would get d $25 Treasury certificate.
In case you do not desire to REIN
vest in government securities, YOU
will receive cash for the whole am
cunt.
All new certificates will be dated
Jan. I, 1923, and will mature Jan. /,
1928. For the cash payments checks
will be mailed by the Federal Re-
serve bank so as to reach the owner
about Jan. /. =
1t is earnestly hoped that as many
as possible will take advantage of the
Treasury Certificate proposition. 1t

Elmer Adams, defeated for e1ec-
tion. as. state senator in Otter Tail
county, is quoted as citing the de-
feat of Volstead as. an instance of
lack Of cohesion Of the temperance
forces. He doesn't say so but we
may infer from what he does say that
The dry voters Of Otter Tail county
failed to appreciate his efforts for
temperance. The Seventh district
will now have a congressman that will
correctly represent the ideas of the
people on other important questions
as, well as on the temperance ques-
tion, and perhaps that is the situa-
tion in Sageng's. old bailiwick which
Adams failed to capture. We, differ
from Adams in his opinion that the
Seventh District has dealt. ungener-
ously with Vo1stead. Eighteen years
in Congress is very substantial gift
we should say. It is comforting to
know that Mr.. Adams believes that

The country has increased its cold
supply more than $1,000, 900, 900
during the last two years and this
has tended to increase speculation

John F. Sinclair of Minneapolis,

this measure, first proposed by A. C;

It thus appears that sentiment 7for
reviving the. government grain cor
poration is more wide spread than
one would judge from the newspap-

that the big banks, bound up with
grain speculation, have used their in
duence to keep this all-important
news out Of the daily press. The Ma
