The 1919 and the 1920 thrift stamps are identical, and ‘thrift stamps of last year may be used in filling 1920 thrift cards. 'The issue price of the war savings stamp is" $4.12 in January and increases 1 cent a’ month to $4.23 in December. The issue price of the $100 certificate is $82.40 jn January and increases at the rate of 20 cents a month to $84.60 in December. The $1,000 certificates|" will be s0lg for $824 in January, and the price increases at the rate of $2, a month to $346 in December. As in 1919, war savings certificates of the 1920 series bearing their full complement of 20 war savings stamps may be - exchanged for registersd treasury savings certificates, series of 1920, of the $100 denomination, and owners of war savings certificates who. desire the protection of registra- tion are.urged to exchange their war savings eertificates for -a treasury savings certificate rather than to eek registration of Wie war savings certificate at a post ce. In addition to its other advantages, the treasury savings certificates. give the benefit of central registration at the treasury and the provision for the treasury itself. The latter provision will be of advantage and facilitate payment in case of change of residence, since a registereq war savings certificate can be re- deemed only at the post office at which it was registered. The treasury department also offers; a 1918 issue of treasury savings cer- tificates in the denomination of $100 and $1000, in both cases not for cash sale.- but only in exchange for 1918 and. 1919 war savings certificates re- spectively, Holders of one or more war savings certificates of the 1918 or 1919 issue which bear war savings stamps hav- ing atotal’ maturity value of $100 or. some multiple of a $100 may exchange the certificates for the same matur- ity value of treasury savings ecertifi- cates of the corresponding issue. When two or more war savings cer- tificates are offered for exchange, each | one need not bear its full complement, of twenty war savings_ stamps, pro- vided the total value of the stamps aggregates $100 or sbme muiltiple of it. In the matter of ownership, the reg- ulations provide in effect that the treasury savings certificates taken in exchange may be made out in favor of new and different owners, if the owners of the war savings certificates so request. The exchanges may be made at first and second-class post offices specially designated by the post offices specially desiznated by the postmaster general, at Federal Reserve banks. and at the division of loans and currency of the treasury, but not at banks and trust companies generall; HEAVY PARCEL POST ' PACKAGES CLOG BOXES| Many patrons of the postoifice: have been mailing packages in the street boxes that weigh from 1 to 20 pounds,: and as a resuit the city carriers who | collect mail from these boxes are uh- able to bring the packages to the of- fice and it is contrary to the postal| rules for them to do so. Notices! have been mailed to several who do| this but have been of no avail. On| two occasions this week the parcel post wagons had to be sent to collect the accumulated parcels. This is also not allowed, as these teams are under contract to deliver and@ not collect mail. In future such packages will be left in the boxes, and when the congestion is such as to intesfere with the regular mail, the boxes will be emptied but it will mean several days’ delay in the dispatching of it from the office. Parcels weighing 4 ounces or more should be brought to the main office by the senders whers they may have them insured if so desired, but feaving them in stores where pur- chaseq for them to mail has resulted In the loss of many of them and a large percentage of claims for unde- livered mail h: come from this manner” of mailing. The Norwich Town and Greeneville stations are the only ones designated to receive par- cel post. Any left at the other sta- tions, or placed in letter or package boxes are not considered ag mafled and the department is not responsible for such packages.

Nev- er in the history of our silk industry have the manufacturers heen compell- ed to pay as high prices for raw silk from abroad, yet they have brought in- to the country in the year just ending more raw silk than in any preceding ! vear. ported into the United States in the calendar year 1919 will, according to an estimate by the National City Bank of New York, probably exceed $300,- 000,000 against $180,090,000 in the {is ‘year 1917 and $10,000,000 in the fiscal year 1916, the first fi it crossed the 100 million mark. These | figures, it is proper to add, relate to “raw silk as reeled from the coccoons” and do not include “waste sili” which will probably add about $12,000,000 to the grand total. 7 ported, even at the phenomenally high prices; is greater than in any earlier year. ig the “highest ever,” averaging per pound in October as against an average of $3.09 per pound in the fis- cal year 1915. tation, and also at high record prices, says the bank’s statement, means that the cuttirn of the silk faotories of the Uniled States in 1919 will approximate three-quarters of billion dollars in value at the factory, as against one-quarter of a billion in the last census year, 1914. A compari- son of the official figures of raw silk imports entering the United States in the census year with the census rec- ord of value of silk manufacturers turne dout in those, years shows that the value of the output of the man- facturers in 1914 and 1909 was in each case about two and one-half times as much as the value of the raw silk im- orted. price of .labor and other requirements of the factory, it seems quite probahle that the relation of .raw silk used to Our Billion Dollar Silk Bill.

Our total exportati g acturers made from silk brought -the opposite side of the globe amounted in a decade ago to less than $1,000,000, advancing to $2,000,000 in 1912, $5,250.~ 000 in the fiscal year 1918, and will, as, above- indicated, approximate $25,000,~ {000 in the-calendar year 1919. These figures of manufactures exported do not include those of artificial siik. which will amount during the full caly . ndar year 1919 to nearly $10,000,000. . the finished manufactures turned out will not differ radically from those of i914 and 1909, and that tl.xerefore the manufacturers’ valyation of the out- put of the silk factories of the United States in 1919 will be about two and one-half times as much as that of the raw silk imported or about §750.800. 000. In addition to this, the imports of sitk manufactureérs from other! countries will aggregate nearly $5 000,000, though against this we ex- ported nearly $25.000.000 worth of the products of our silk factories. Even adding a reasonable allowance for the advance which the consumer pays over the valuation at the factories, it seems #uite apparent that the people of the nited States are paying “across the counter” in 1919 an aggregate yalue of aver a billion dollars for the man- ufactured silks of all sorts which they are E W:‘:?e does this $300,000.000 worth bf raw silk come from- Chiefly from Japan, China and Maly.
