Stumps, which are tho government's certificates of indebtedness, are to be sold in two denominations tuni c stamps, which cost 25 cents each, and war-savings stamp, which cost from, $4.12 .to $4.23 each according to the month in which they are purchased. With the first thrift stamp the purchaser is given n thrift card with spaces for 1(1 stamps. When l(i thrift stamps have been purchased and affixed, the thrift card can be exchanged for. n war-savings stamp by paying the difference between the $4 the thrift stamps represent and the current value of a war-savings stamp, which in De cember, 1917, and January, 1918, will be $4.12, and .there after 1 cent for each succeeding month during the year 1918.' With the first war-savings stamp obtained by pur fhnHc or exchange, the owner is given a war-savings cer tjiu'iiti: containing spaces for 20 war-savings stamps. If the 20 spaces are rilled during December, 1917, or Janu " U ?n ;19 J,'t-h'w-ftt 1:o-t!iV!pnivhasor will be $4.12 for each stamp, or $H2.40 for thcrfiill certificate, and on the first da v of .January, 1WU, the government will redeem the cerOTicate ut $100, giving the holder a net profit of $17.(50 . for the use of his money. 'Although these investments do not mature until Janu ary 1, 1923, provision is made whereby upon 10 days' written notice after January 1, 1918, such certificates will bo redeemed by postmasters at their cost to the. purchas ers, plus 1 cent a month on each war-savings stamp on the certificate. ., . The thrift stamps do not bear interest, but the war savings stamps bear 4 per cent, compounded quarterly. The certificates will be dated January 2, 1918, and mature January 1, 1923. c Under the plan an .amount as small as 25 cents can be invested in a government security, and as soon as $4 has been thus invested an interest-bearing certificate, of the United States government can be secured. The stamps and certificates can be obtained from post i offices, banks, or trust companies, at most railroad sta tions, stores, factories, and many other public places. Having thq entire wealth of the United States back of them, and being redeemable as above stated, there is no danger of any depreciation in value of the certificates. o Let lis be thankful that we live in Eastern Oregon, that we. live in a prosperous community, with good ncigh bors.lind! good friends, that our cities and towns are clean :' and' beautiful, free from vice, good places to live in, with allvnodern advantages, that we are free born Americans living under the best government and the best flag God ever' gave. 5 Cl iAuWeathr i GLOVES AND MITTENS Of all kinds horse bide, goatskin, dog and kangaroo.
