NEW SAVINGS CERTIFICATES

SIOO and SI,OOO Government Securities Are Availrjfle in September for SB4 and SB4O Respectively. Treasury Savings Certificates in denominations of SIOO and SI,OOO are being distributed throughout the five states of the Seventh Federal Reserve district. They may be bought during the month of September for SB4 and SB4O respectively. These new government securities are in reality discount bonds. They will mature January 1, 1924, and are issued only in registered form to insure them against theft or loss. The same rate of interest is paid as for War Savings stamps, namely 4 per cent compounded quarterly. War Savings Stamps of the 1919 issue may be exchanged for the Treasury certificates. The Treasury Savings Certificates are offered to the public at any post office of the first or second class and at incorporated banks and trust companies which are agents for the sale of 1919 War Savings Stamps. The hame of each purchaser will be inscribed on every certificate, the registration records being kept at the Treasury department In Washington, D. C. Each, month the new certificates will Increase in price. They began in July at SB3 for the SIOO certificate and at $836 for the one which will be worth SI,OOO when it matures. Thus the Income Increase is twenty cents a month for the smaller certificate and two dollars a month for the other. They are tax free except inheritance, surtaxes, war profits and excess profit taxes.

A six-weeks-old pig was sent by parcel post from Bryantsville to Cotult, Mass., by Mrs. Joseph Dowlar, who is the pig’s foster mother, having brought it up on a bottle since it was one day old. The little black and white fellow has been a great, pet, and wherever Mrs. Dowlar went it trotted behind her like a dog. She sent It to her brother, who is an Invalid, thinking the pig would amuse him and help him pass the time away.
