 ''It is to be hoped that every person who can do so will exchange war savings stamps, soon to fall due, for treasury savings certificates" said Postmaster Manning Thursday. The large amount of money invested and the great number of persons who purchased war savings stamps showed that the people of this country could have money when the ne cessity arose.
 Now if they will take the money they saved when they bought stamps to aid the government in the prosecution of>the war and buy treasury savings certificates they will demonstrate that the thrift les sons of the war have not been without effect. The holders of war savings stamps have seen investments of about $20.56, grow to $25 in five years, and larger amounts in the same proportion. They can see the same thing repeated if they reinyest in treasury savings certificates Interest accumulates at the rate of 4 per cent. each year, compounded semi-annual ly.
 These savings certificates are exempt
 
 from all state and local taxation, except estate and inheritance taxes, and may be held to the amount of s5,000, maturity value, for each issue. by every member of a family. They are backed by the credit of the United States government and afford an easy and sure method ot saving.

REPUBLICAN PAPER
COMPLIMENTS WINDLE

r. E. L. Windle, for many years
a partner of A. R. Brackett in the
ownership of the Humboldt Star and
Battle Mountain Scout, has severed
his connection with the papers,
owing to failing health which has
handicapped him for active business
for some time past.
Mr.. Windle has disposed of his in
terests to Rollin C. Stitser, who has
entered into a partnership agree
ment with Mr.. Bracket, the other
publisher. The retiring partner was
considered to be one of the best
newspaper men in the state, and his
departure from the newspaper field
in our neighboring county will be
regretted by the many friends he
has made not only in Humboldt
county but in all parts of the state.
