Bond Loser
$1000 Liberty Disappears
From Coat Pocket
on Monday
, •
i
To loan a >1000 Liberty bond to a
friend to us as collateral in a busi­
ness deal and then to have the friend
lose the bond from his pocket was
the unpleasant experience this week
of John H. Donaldson, or “John D”,
the local grocer, as he is known to
Lents people.
Mr. Donaldson had the bond in his
lafeMeposit box in the Multnomah
State Bank, where it had securely
rested since he purchased it several
weeks ago. Tuesday afternoon Mr.
Donaldson took it from the box and
the borrower placed it in his insid ■
coat pocket among some other pa
pers and boarded the car for Port­
land.
After transacting business
along Front street the gentleman
went to his home in one of the other
suburbs of the city. About 7 o’clock
that evening it occurred to him to
look for the bond and see if it was
where he had placed it. To his sur­
prise and dismay, it was not there
and Mr. Donaldson was immediately
notified.
The matter was reported to the po­
lice detective bureau and steps taken
at once to prevent the lost bond from
being disposed of.
The police are
said to be of the opinion that the
man’s pocket was not picked, and that
the bond will be eventually recovered
John D.’s hopes rose with a jump
Tuesday evening when his telephone
rang and a man's voice inquired if he
had advertised a lost bond. Upon be­
ing assured that he had, the interrog­
ator wanted to know what step« had
been taken to prevent it from being
negotiated, saying he had lost »200 i«
a like manner some time ago and he
was anxious to know how he coul 1
prevent an unlawful possessor real­
izing upon it.
Mr. Donaldson has been assured
that the loss will be made good by the
person from whose custody the bond
disappeared.

PLANS UNDER WAY FOR
PORTLAND ROSE FESTIVAL
The 1921 Rose Festival board has
been organized and Henry W. Kent,
executive secretary of the Portland
Service League appointed chairman
of the floral parade committee. Mr.
Kent has name<i the 6,000 officers of
the league as his associates on thia
committee, and hopes to arrange a
parade which will be a great com­
munity pageant—a parade -of a mil­
lion roses—which will attract th« at­
tention of the world to Portland
through the motion pictures, maga­
zine writers and press associations.
Every boy and girl in Portland will
be asked t oplant a Rose Festival gar­
den Special prices on seeds, plants
and bulbs will be given through the
league. Three boys and girls i> each
group. oX approximately ten neighbor«
will be given first, second and thiid
prizes for the three best gardens.
This will mean that about 36 boys
and girls will ride in the precinct ears
that are to be decorated by the people
of the precinct with flowers grown in
the precinct by the boys and girls.
Assistance of the men and woman
will be permitted but on a score of
points the boy or girl who does ail «f
the work will gain in points.
The committee is especially anxiem
that sweet peas be planted at once aa
that they will be in bloom by June 8.
Any good seed catalogue will give
full directions or the Portland seed
houses will do so.
All rose bushes should be carefully
pruned, fertilized and sprayed at once
in order to get the best bloom. Save
your puttings and plant them in the
garden for future use. For further
information, call office of the Fort-
