WlmheMer Warn People Not to Ituy lllue Stamp of 1919 wue. Po.H master E. C. Winchester today imued a warning to thrifty persons hereabouts to be on their guard rgaiust buying counterfeit War Sav ings Stamps. Fraudulent blue stamps of the 1919 aerie? have been made by counterfeiters, the postmaster has been advised, and are being sold to the unwary. "But the fraud) can be easily de tected." the postmaster said. "Ben Franklin's picture appears on the stamp, and In the counterfeit stamp, old Ben seems to have the mumps In his left Jaw. Indeed, there is a pro nounced swelling. Then under the portrait the lower of the two left dots is comparatively indistinct, and the vertical oienIng between the line In the lower left part of the numeral '2' in the dale "1954' Is closed. The prin cipal feature of the fraud, however, is the swollen cheek. "It should be remembered that the counterfeit is only of the 1919 series, and. like the original, is blue. Blue War Saving Stamp can no Isnger be bought from post offices or other au Ihnnzed agenei-s. Only the 1SI0 suu-ps. which are red. are now being sold by agencies. Sales of last year's stamps are not legal. No one should buy a IMS stamp, thoueb it is true ifou.e have been Improperly offered for sale. j "Everyone who bouEht 1919 stamps last year may feel perfectly safe." the 'postmaster said in conclusion, "be I cause the counterfeit was not made ! until after the first of this year. The blue stumps had then been withdrawu jfrom sale by the authorized agencies, and the red 1920 stamp was being 'sold. Don't buy any 1919 stamps, and keep a lookout for the picture of the mail with the mumps. If you see one 1 let me know." THE XF.WS OF lll l tMU I FIGHT ! JE BOILS !

Three hundred and twenty-three dollars was the average salary paid white teachers, town and country, In the elementary public schools of North Carolina in 1917-1918. It was only a little more than half the average in the I'nited Slates the same years $323 against $tiU6. This Is not a record to be proud j of in the richest state in the South. New Hanover leads the list with $580, and Durham followd next with $572 as average annual salaries tor elementary while teachers In 1917 1918. Even our two most liberal counties are well below the average of the count ry-at-large. As for the nine counties at the foot of the column mountain counties all they paid their white teachers less than $210 a year. The range was from $209 in Ashe to $163 in Watauga. And three of these same mountain counties are among the half-dozen richest counties In North Carolina In per capita country wealth. Manifestly the teachers in the ele mentary public schools of our state are turned out to graze on mighty short commons. As a result, two-thirds of our public-school teachers last year aban doned teaching, and two-thirds of our public schools are this year taught by raw recruits. No wonder 700 of our common Bchcol rooms are closed. And no wonder seven thousand, or nearly half of our common schools, are In the hands of substandard teachers taken on temporarilly in the emergency. It's a crime against the children of North Carolina. If the public conscience will sub mit to this condition of things with out protest then our rich stale Is ii.r.i-honrip.l and t ieht - fisted be yond words. If we can not or will not rise to ihia nnprcMPv In North Carolina. then we may well doubt the kind of that lies In wealth alone. Our riches are greatly Increased, but whv set our heart upon riches if our children's minds an to be starved?
