IWniaMer I", V. 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."

Average Tenclier's Snlmy K;ii'J
(From N. C. News Letter.)
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?
