HOW TO INVEST MONEY
The Post Office Your SAVINGS Bank

Postmaster John O'Sullivan con-
tinues to impress upon the people
Of Washburn, Wisconsin, the advan-
tages of Treasury Savings Certif-
Gates and Postal Savings as an in
vestment as well as the best method
of encouraging persons of small in
comes to form the habits of thrift
and saving. "The post office under
this system" said financial sage
who made an investigation of the
new u. S. Government Savings Sys-
tenn, "will become the savings bank
Of the wage Garner and the person
Of small salary. In many of the
large cities, and in factory towns,
and especially in many of the small
er towns in the rural districts, it
is very inconvenient for earners of a
weekly wage to reach bank after
receiving their pay, but a post office
is usually available. When the peo-
pie fully understand that their post
Offices offer them modern banking faci
lities they will avail themselves OF
this modern savings system which is
run for ther own advantage and at
no cost to them. Postal Savings and
Treasury Savings Certificates offer
an unsual opportunity, and the post
Office is ready to render these bank
ing facilities in an efficient manner.
Postmaster OiSullivan is pleased
with the suggestion of the post office
az the wage-earners' savings bank,
and intends to make it that in fact,
as long as people who are its patrons
show disposition to save. He calls
especial attention to the fact that
the Government is in this savings
movement because the officials have
become convinced that only through
the Government can a nationwide
campaign for savings be inaugurated
and made successful. "The Govern
ment" he said, affords an opportun-
ity for everybody to save. Any per-
son with ten cents can open saw
ings account with the Government,
With ten cents a postal savings stamp
can be bought at the post office. When
ten stamps have been purchased and
affixed to q postal savings card they
can be exchanged for 8. interest
bearing postal savings certificate
Postal savings certificates to- the
amount Of $500 may be purchased
|by any one person. Small investors
lean also buy Treasury Savings
Stamps at 81 each. They do not
draw interest, but when 20 stamps
have been acquired they can be ex-
changed for $25 Treasury Savings
Certificates. These certificates are
issued in denominations of SIS, $10e
and $1,000, and sold for $50, $50, and
$500. They pay AZ per cent COM
pounded semi-annually, and are ex.
empt from state and local taxation
(except estate and inheritancetaxes)
and from the normal Federal income
tax" s

TO END TWELVE HOUR
WORKING DAY

At q recent conference between the
President and the steel manufacturers
Of the country the latter were asked
to abolish the twelve hour working
day shift that exists in the industry.
The President made his request 'for
the good of industrial America" The
average working day Of most Of the
steel workmen is eight hours, and
the steel manufacturers told the
President that those who worked
twelve hours were not the hardest
worked men in the mills.
The number Of hours that men work
in many industries varies greatly,
and the Department Of Labor has
been giving considerable study to the
subject. The eight-hour day has
been reduced to seven and half hours
in Government employment. Last
year an attempt was made by some
of the national leaders, headed by
Samuel Gompers, to reduce this seven
hours. This year, following daylight
saving through which the Govern
ment forces in Washington leave
their Offices at three o'clock in the
afternoon there has followed good
deal talk about an eight-hour work
/ ing day.
The, American Federation OF La
Dor and other labor organizations
| are insistent on introducing the seven
hour day into the Government ser.
vice, their idea being that such 9
reduction of hours will pave the way
towards a shortening Of the working
lday in private employment.
