THE INDEPENDENT November 5. HP2S. ARMISTICE DAI COMES T“ SOOTH A RES TLESS WORLD. । What could be more lilting than that the ultimatum, delivered by ihe Council of the League of Nations, commanding Bulgaria and Greece to withdraw their troops behind their national borders, and to cease hostilities forthwith, Should have been formulated ami delivered practically on the eve of Armistice Day? Time, which modulates the passions and provides a deeppr background lor mutdal understanding, lime, which levels all things and lays the. shepard s crook beside the sceptre, has brought much of moral advance-I ment to the world, but never has iL given to us a happier augury than , now when it turns the consideration of Armistice Day to one of softened . joy in tplace of inspiration lor Cie ; renewal of hatreds and continued bitterness of soul. It seems almost as if that great apostle ol peace, dy ing practicalh discredited. had arisen in rhe spirit to stretch His arms over the peoples of the world in calm but forceful command that [ reason henceforth shall reign bu- । । preme. Men in our national congress may differ as to the wisdom 11 of this great nation entering Inin ■ the entangling alliances of the Leal|gue; readers of ten thousand news- ' papers may hold ten thousand difl I erent views. but all will rejoice I that renewed bloodshed on the field 11 of battle, w ith its incident horror 11 and human suffering has been check I ' ed. and muskets silenced by the influence of a great American. As the years roll on that influence must grow in power, carrying in place of sadness, solace to those stricken souls whose dear ones went j west for human freedom. No more need Armistice Day cause the eye to flash in memory of great wrong done. Rather may it now make the stricken soul pass from that pain Hat is almost pleasure in its sacri flee, to pleasure that is almost pain in its nobility. EX TRA4 AG WCE SEX The idea has prevailed somewhat generally that the women spend । more money in personally extrava- ' i gant ways, particularly for clothing, than the men do. But the the United I States department of labor seems to explode that idea by rerent figures. . It finds that the average man spends $7 138 a ve. ( r for clothes, whih ” overage woman spends only s»>3 55 These figures will seem incredible to some. w*ho will claim that both average men and average women spend a good deal more than these sums for clothing. But the average in such computations Is cut down । by the low amount that many poo . pie of limited means are able to spend. Os course It will be said that when . women acquire what Is called social ' positions, they seem to require many ■ extras in the way of clothing They may have a closet full of garment^ that would look good to a man. yet they will say they "have nothing to wear.” Manv women get along on a very low level of expense, by making a large part of their own clothes Women can buv many very good look-i ing dresses for very little money, if they keep close watch of newspaper !

advertising. But of course men also make । many savings if thej’ watch the ad-' vertising. Many men would deny that the use of tobacco is an extravagance. Yet when you observe those) , who seem to be smoking most of the lime, ami how' many men use intoxicating liquor, it would seem as if the average amount, of money spent by men for foolish indulgences must be far in excess of the average spent by women. The majority of women have had to get along <>n a meager amount of money. This has trained them to handle it pretty carefully. Punchettes--For Sale , Used cars, all makes. Buy now.

Search Your Attic For Old Stamps Fortunes Have Been Found on Old Envelopes Many old stamp*, both I S. and Confederate. an- worth from JSO to $5,000. The hobby of •lamp collecting i* of far greater importance nowadiv* than m times past when it *is generally con Ftdered a* a pa-lime for iwhoolbov* onlv Todav collector’ cagrrlv «crk out .mJ pay huge prices for these stamp’ which are scarce to the point of being worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. l<a>t year in Paris at a stamp sale one stamp of British Guiana was sold for $32,500 this being the higheat price ' ever paid for a single stamp People who make a bonfire of "grandfather's letters" do not realirr they mm he burn- । ing rare stamps, which if sold might । make them rich. Make a thorough search through attics ' and storerooms for old letter- mailed from 1815 to 1870. Keep the letters if you wish, but send the envelopes (or I folded letters* to Mr Harold C Brooks Box 32S , Marshall. Michigan. Mr. ' Brooks, who is mayor of his city, is a private collector and is said to pay bet- | ter prices than a dealer. During the past 1 1 twelve years he has paid thousand* of dollars for envelopes bearing old -tamps, j He specializes in I nited States and Con- i i federate stamps, but also collects Ca- l] nadian and other foreign issues, pro- 1 vided they are on the original envelopes j and mailed not later than 1870. Loose l etamps he does not buy except very old I issues unused or mounted collections ! formed before 1880. Revenue stamps . such as found on old photographs, mortgages, deeds, etc., are not wanted. Other i I things like old coins. Confederate I j money, old relics, may have value, but he is not interested in these. I Shown below are illustrations of a few | । rare stamps and the amounts Mr. Brooks j : agrees to pay to anyone who may find : ' them. Be-ide these are many others oi 1 j equal value.

Beside the rarities, Mr. Brooks buys many of the commoner stamps, so nothing should be thrown away even though many stamps appear to be exact duplicates. Stamps should not be cut off as any stamp on the original envelope is worth more, collectors being interested in the postmark as well as the stamp. Nothing should be written on the face of the envelope. When making up a bunch of envelopes, be sure they are well wrapped and protected with cardboard to prevent their becoming wrinkled in transit. If you have reason to believe your envelopes are of special value send them by registered or insured mail. The advertising manager of this paper has known Mr. Brooks for many years, and you may place fullest confidence in his integrity. On receipt of envelopes he will examine them and report promptly their value. If they are not purchased, he guarantees to return them in good order. If you have no old letters written during or before the Civil War, show 4 tiiis notice to your friends—especially ] those whose families have lived in the | same house for several generations. 4 Many old families, old banks and law ! firms still have stored away hundreds * of letters, waiting either to be burned '4 or sold for large sums. Before destroying । such envelopes or folded letters invest | * tigate. th ‘ due. Mr. Brooks’ address i is as follows: i HAROLD C. BROOKS, Box 323 , Marshall, Mick ’
