 Postoffice Notes
 Postmaster w. w. Pagan of Ken sington continues to impress upon the people of this town the advantages Of treasury savings certificates and pos tai savings as an investment as well as the best method of encouraging persons of small income to form the habits of thrift and saving.
 In many of the large cities, and in factory towns, and especially in many of the smaller towns in the rural dis tricts, it is very inconvenient for earn CTS of weekly wage to reach a l~nk after receiving their pay but post office is usually available.
 Postmaster Pagan is pleased with the suggestion of the postofhce IS the wage earners' savings bank, and in tends to make it that in fact, as. long as people who are it's patrons show a disposition to save. He calls especial attention to the fact that the gov ernment is in this savings movement because the officials have become convinced that only through the gov ernment can a nation wide campaign for savings be inaugurated and made successful "The government he said, "affords an opportunity for everybody to save. Any person with 10 cents can open a savings account with the government. With 10 cents a postA savings stamp can be bought at the postoffce. When ten stamps have been purchased and affixed to a postal savings card they can be cX for a s1 interest bearing postal savings certificate. Postal say ings certificates to the amount or s2,h BOO may be purchased by any one person. Small investors can also buy treasury savings stamps at Sl each. They do not draw interest, but when 20 stamps have been acquired they can be exchanged for s25 treasury savings certificates. These certificates are issued in denominations of S25, s1o0 and $1,o0o, and sold for SEQ, sSo and $500. They pay 4h per cent. semi-annually, and are exempt from state and local taxation fexcept estate and inheritance taXes) and from the normal federal income tax"
