THE SCHOOL OE THRIFT.
"A Liberty Bond is a diploma in the school of thrift,"
declared S. W. Straus, president o i'tlie American Society
of Thrift, in a letter to the editor of The Observer. "A
subscription to tins issue is the best way to begin a thriity
life." Secretary McAdoo is asking for subscriptions from
10,000,000 Americans. If he is successful in this feature
of the loan it will mean that thousands of our citizens have
for the first time in their lives begun the accumulation
of somethign for old age or the rainy day.
"'Let me appeal especially to .the man or woman who
has gone along thus far in life with absolutely nothing laid
by. Not only does your country need your help in this
matter but you need it even more. This Liberty Loan is
going to be a success, for America knows not how to fail,
but you will keep on being an individual failure unless
you arise to this opportunity. A Liberty Bond or two
tucked in a safety deposit vault will bring you more pleas
ure than the same amount invested in any other way.
Once a saver always a saver. The person " wbqf hasn't
enough moral stamina to save money for such a cause as
this is pretty apt to be a failure in life. Prove vour worth
and give your own future a chance by subscribing for this I
loan, xou need it as much as it needs vou."

money to the allies "The greater
sums Americans advance to the allies, '
the less sorrowing, suffering and grief .
there will be here," he declared. "The
allied lines waddling through the mud
of Flanders are fighting our battles,
and have been from the start.
"Buying Liberty Bonds is a business
investment. We don't know the mean-j
ing of economy. Let us forego some
of this wasteful extravagance and
make some" sensible investments for
ourselves and at the same time do
something to cloth and feed our own
boys who are or mav tra to thn front
iThe bank deposits and savings ac ;
counts in Oregon are about
$25,000,000 greater today than
they were a year ago, so why should ,
we stutter about making some interest-bearing,
non-taxable investments.
"This is not a rich man's war. The
rich, through taxes and surtaxes, pay
their share of the costs: the rich are
enlisting; the rich are giving up their I
tlmn in full t ,...,.... : 3

Succinct statements like these per
meated the speech and nnyom who lis
tened nnd was not convinced that it is
possible and likewise the duty of every
tamily to huy a bond, is not succepti
ble to convincing argument.
The evening's demonstration com
menced with a street parade in which :
the Honor Guard, Home Guard, High j
School Cadets, Comnany L, and the
La Grande band took part. A true 1
military parade it was and much fa-1
vorawe comment was passed on the
work of the Home Guard companies
who showed the effect of careful
training in military marching and
maneuvers.
The applause greeting the marching j
columns, preceding the speaking, the'
general enthusiasm of the partici
pants, and the attendance itself gavel
voice to the interest the public today I
takes in affairs of the Government. A
demonstration of this sort would have
been impossible a year ago.

UNITED
LTES BONDS.
The United States Government issues bonds in two
forms: (1) Dearer bonds with interest coupons attached,
commonly called coupon bonds; (2) bonds registered both
as to principal and interest. Liberty Loan Bonds are is
sued in both bearer and coupon forms.
A hearer or coupon bond is payable to the hearer, the
holder, the title passing by delivery. The Treasury De
partment does not require' proof of ownership when such
bonds are presented for payment or exchange, the holder
thereof being recognized. Such bonds may be bought and
sold without formality and without indorsements of any
kind. Attached to bearer bonds are sheets of coupons or
certificates of interest. One of these coupons becomes due
each interst payment date and should be detached by the
owner of the bond and cashed at his hank or presented to
a Treasury office for payment.
A registered bond is payable only to its owner or his or
der, and can be transferred only by being properly indors
ed and assigned by the owner. ' The bond has inscribed on
thef ace of it the name of the owner or payee, and'such fact
is recorded on tlie books of the Treasury Department ,

against the part icular bond indicated. The change in own
ership of a registered bond is effected by the original payee
indorsing and assigning the bond, using the form on the
baekthereot m accordance with tho regulations of the
Treasury Department. Such assignment must be made
before an officer designated by the Treasury Department,
and such officer must certify thereto and affix his offi
cial seal. The officers who an; authorized to witness as
signments are indicated in a note printed on the back of
tne bona. Generally speaking certain judicial and Treas
ury of Heel's and executive officers of Federal Reserve and
National Banks are authorized to witness assignments.
When the owner of a registered bond disposes of it and
has properly assigned it, it should be forwarded at once to
the Secretary of the Treasury for transfer on the books of
the Department. The bond so forwarded is canceled and
a new bond in the name of the new owner is issued and
sent to the new owner by registered mail.
The interest on registered bonds is paid bv means of
checks drawn by the Secretary of the Treasury on the
Treasury of the I'nited States.' such cheeks being issued!
on i lie day interest is due. Thev are sent bv mail to th
owners of the bonds.
