BY FRED LOCKLEY. On December 3 there will be' placed on sale, at the- postoflce and all sub stations thrift stamps and war savings certificates. The thrift stamps are in 25-cent denominations, the war savings certificates In $o denominations. The Government is planning- to raise $2,000,000,000 In a campaign wherein school children and those having- small incomes may do their bit toward help ing America win the war. In speaking of the proposed plan Secretary Mc Adoo says: - "Entirely aside from the patriotic clement the. Investment feature of the new war savings plan strongly appeals to me. The first consideration in all investments ; is their safety. Could anything be safer than this, which has the entire wealth of the United States behind l it? The second consideration Is the return on the investment. Cer tainly $17.60 returned for the loan of $82.40 for five years is attractive. "Finally,- one must always consider his ability to convert-an investment Into cash on short notice. Under this plan one can, upon 10 days' notice, have the money he has invested returned, plus interest. In my mind there is not the slightest doubt that this campaign for war savings will be an overwhelm ing success." . Oregon's Quota 917,000,000. The bureau of census estimates that the population of Oregon On July 1, 1917, was 862,239. It is hoped that Ore gon will purchase $17,244, 70 worth of war savings certificates. This is on a basis of $20 per capita of our popula tion. Multnomah County, with its pop ulation of 316.114, under this schedule is expected to purchase $6,322,280 worth of war savings certificates. The war savings certificates are really baby bonds, iiany persons of modest means who were unable to pur chase the $30 bonds can purchase these war savings certificates. Upon the purchase of the first 25-cent war sav ings stamp a thrift card is Issued by the postmaster, bank or store selling the stamps. When 1 25-cent stamps have been attached to the thrift card It can be exchanged with 12 cents In cash for a war savings certificate. After February 1, 1918, 1 cent addi tional, is required for each month. When the war Bavin gs certificate is obtained a folder is furnished having 20 blanks to be filled. The cost of the .20 savings certificates, if purchased prior to January 1 is $82.40. On Janu ary 1, 1923, the Government will re deem these certificates, paying the holder $100, which means that the owner receives 4 per cent Interest com pounded quarterly. No one Is allowed to purchase more than $1000 worth of these certificates. -i n'l'IndJ, Sn lnarular. ' England has had singular success in the operation of war savings. Our plan has been borrowed, with .certain mod ifications, fronj England. At the be ginning of the war the- English work ing classes were not good savers. It was prophesied that the- war savings ; certificates , would , draw the - money from the savings banks; but no such result occurred. . In speaking of this feature of Great Britain's war savings plan Basil P. Blackett. of the British treasury, said. ..."It is a remarkable facf that in spite .of the special attractions of our war savings certificates and of -'the large sums, nearly $500,000,000, Invested In , them, the Bavlngs campaign that we have waged has given an Impetus to every one of the already assisting In etltutlons for encouraging savings. . The Postoffice Savings Bank, as well aa tne other savings banks, the build ing societies and the other co-operative societies, all .show large increases in their deposits... In consequence, those responsible for them have almost with out exception" been hearty and val uable workers for the war savings movement, although at first fear of competition seemed to threaten con siderable difficulty. lhls last point is one which has strongly appealed to bankers. The war savings movement has increased sav ings DanK deposits in the banks dur ing. the war. Still more important. It Is educating a vast new army of future clients ror savings institutions after the war, and finally, there is an enor mous significance to the future state or England, that one In every four of , her population Is a direct holder of government securities." Waste Is Condemned. It took Great Britain 18 months to see the necessity of the war savings certificates. The XTnited States has been in the war less than that many weeks, but saw the success made by England and adopted the plan. We nave seen how In England It is preach ing. the gospel of saving and of serv Ice. In England the people have re alized -that the war must be paid for out or new savings. Thev have re alized that extravagance and waste are treason in war time. With Lloyd Vrge they believe that extravagance Diooa. tne blood of heroes. The great value of the war savings certificates will be that the people will te- brought into closer contact with the-Government and will feer that they are having a part In the winning of the war. The trouble in the past has been that the people, particularly in the remote rural sections, have .not had real -and definite knowledge of their Nation's intentions and actions. The American - public will have to go to school. for the next few years to learn some .of the lessons of economy, ef ficiency, self-sacrifice and thrift that are-being- practiced by the other na tions. The war savings certificate and the thrift stamps will bring home to every citizen his immediate responsl bility to the Nation, and the need of his serving in Borne form in this war. Oregon and the Nation has a gigantic task ahead. Oregon has never yet proved recreant when called upon, and In the enlisting of volunteers and the raising of money for the liberty loan for the Red Cross, for the Y. M. C. A. work, and- in every other way. It has won its title of the Volunteer state To raise the $17,000,000 that the Gov ernment'is asking of Oregon is a task that will require the . disinterested ef fort of every citizen. It is a move ment in which there should be no pol itics- nor factions. There Is room in it only for united, patriotic, loyal serv- ' ice --for our common country. Fernwood Circle to Meet.

Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable pre scription, and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them awav. One man says, after using It: "I wa almost blind. Could not see to reed at all. Now I can read every thing without my glasses, and my eyes do not hurt any mors. At night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me." A lady who used it says: "The atmosphere seemed hazy with or with out glasses, but after using this pre scription for 15 days everything soems clear. I can read even fine print with out glasses." Another who uxed It says: "I was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked, tired eyes, which Induced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for several years, both for distance and work, and without them I could not read my own name on an envelope or the typewriting on the machine before me. 1 can do both now and have discarded my long-dis-lanr glasses altogether. I can count the fluttering leaves on the trees across the street now, which for several years have looked like a dim green blur to me. I cannot express my Joy at what it has dona for me." It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them In a reasonable time and multitude, mora Sts. and all of the companies will be given an opportunity to furnish talent.
