 TO TOTAL S4O0,0OO

War Saving stamps sold in New Britain during the year of 1919 will mature on January ], 1s23. and at that time will be redeemed at the local post office or at any of the five banks In tho city During that year sSoo,ooo worth of these stamps were sold In New Britain, it was stated at the post office this morning, although approximately s400,000 have already been cashed in.
 This was dne, the postal officials say, to the hard times" which fol- lowed the end of the war and many or the poor people needed the money as did many of the wealthiek people who lost in stock dealings wiYen the after-the-war slump was felt.
 Provision has been made that be. shining today and continuing .until January 1b, people holding these stamps may bring them to the post on1ce or to any Of the banks where they will receive receipt if brought before January 1. The check for the amount called for on the stamp with the interest will be mailed about the nrst Of the year from the Federal Re- serve bank in New York.
 Those holding registered stamps can have them redeemed only at the post office. Because of the Christmas rush at the local office. the postal of- hcials have asked as many people as possible to cash their stamps at the local banks. There are still about lo,ooo people holding redeemabic stamps and of this number about g. 500 are registered.
 Those who have but one or two stamps, especially the school children. are asked to wait until after Janu. aqy ], before they take them to the post office for redemption.
 The government officials have sent word to Postmaster ". r. Delaney stating that they are eager to have the people, instead of accepting cash for their stamps, take out Treasury saving certificates. The stamps may be exchanged either in part or in whole for the certificates which are sold in denominations of $25, s1oo and $1,o00. The s25 certificates may i be bought for s2o50; the $1oO for $sO.02 and the S1.0o0 for $500. 20. | These certificates mature in five years and pay four per cent interest com, pounded semi-annualy.

HWet" Activities.

The enemies of prohibition in the
United States are organizing their
forces to secure the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment as regards
beer and wines; and with great ado
are trying to bring about the election
of Congressman who will favor such
a measure. This movement, if sue
cessful, would annihilate prohibition
as a>statute entirely. 1t is more than
beer and wine that the vets want.
To get hat much, they know they
could easily get the liquors again.
Let the friends of reform get busy
and advise their Congressman of
their wishes in this matter. Let no
one suppose the battle is over; legis-
lation is just the first victory in the
light and is merely signal for more
determined and persistent combat
against the evil of strong drinks. Let
none be deceived by the doctrine of
personal liberty or the rights of
the working man to have beer at his
meals. The man who can not eat
without a glass of beer has foreign
born stomach which ought to be Am
ericanized, and brought, forcibly if
necessary, to adjust itself to better
es.-Contributed.

Senator L. E. Gwinn, of Coving-
ton, Tenn, was in the city last Sat
urday and spoke to a small crowd in
the courthouse yard. Mr.. Gwinn is
the West Tennessee candidate for
Governor and he makes fine ad-
dress. His remarks were practically
the same as those of his former ad-
dress in Union City. The only nota-
bic exception was that bearing on
the subject of a fffty-million dollar
bond issue for State highways. He
spoke neither of the merits nor de-
merits of the proposition, but de-
clared emphatically for a referendum
of the voters of Tennessee on a ques-
ton of such Importance. Mr.. Peay
declares for a. referendum on the
question of State bond issues, but he
has never discussed the proposed road
bond issue. Governor McMillin also
evades the big road bond proposition.
This is an issue that will have to be
met. Gen. Hannah will also have to
face the issue.
