The uiu have been unnauallv form, and at tha, meeting' of county, chairmen Wednes day evening, flattering reoorts from all over the state were received. IL D. Marshall, associate director of the national committee.: with sunervta- lon of the work in the western states, during; his visit In Portland, was loud in his praise of the progress made by Htate Director C S.

Yonng, left, and Captain Harms. Determined not to be outdone by any group of employes in the city, Portland's "finest" have bought over $900 worth of War Savings Stamps since the bu reau was established at police head quarter 8 February 25. . N. D. Nlck) Beutgen, clerk of the municipal court, was selected as di rector of sales for the force and he has shown himself to be a good one. The first thing he did was to sug gest the .organization of a club among those about the building who would promise to buy one Thrift Stamp every day except Sunday for a year. About 20 signed up. Further investigation among the patrolmen revealed the fact that many are buying a certain num ber each week from their mall-carrier, an other officers are giving their chil dren so much a week to buy stamps at their school or favorite booth. At any hour of the day the rattle of the "bones" may be heard behind the glass partitions of Mr. Beutgen's of fice. No ordinary crap game is In progress, however,, for the cream of Portland's lawyers and crooks "roll the bones" and i match quarters together in this protected gambling-house. The one restriction that is put on this game is that all" of the capital put -up must be invested in Thrift Stamps or War Savings Certificates by the winner. An improved lottery is conducted by the members of the Thrift club every Thursday. Sixteen persons buy num bers at two bits apiece. The numbers are thrown in a hat, Jug-gled about, and the third number drawn wins a War Savings Stamp, the winner being obliged to pay tne odd amount over $4. This lottery has been held every Thursday since March 1, but thus far no man haa won the pot twice. Chief Johnson waa thip lucky man at one time, and la now convinced that the game is "on the square." . Clerk Beutgen haa also sold four $100 books to members of the force. Oi April l the clerk "received an "April row" 'surprise, when TL L. Sandefer of fered to buy $50 worth of stamps. San defer was arrested the night before on a charge of visiting a lottery game at 25? Davis street, and the court fined htm $5. He had $30 ball on deposit, so, after paying his fine, be laid an addi tional $25 on the counter and took away a half -filled book of War Stamps, Often attorneys, after they have won a lease in court, will deposit part of their fen with the clerk in exchange for War Savings Stamps.

This space contributed by RAYMOND E. TAYLOR Portland Hotel Pharmacy el Officials of the Liberty loan campaign warn the public against giving subscrip tions 'tor paying money to anyone not wearing the official badge. Salesmen wearing these are authorised by Port land banks to act for them in taking subscriptions. Payments on bonds should be made to the salesman and his receipt accepted. The minimum ini tial payment is 6 per cent of the value of the bonds purchased; larger pay ments or payment in full may, be made at the option of the purchaser. Emu receipt bears a number corresponding to the number of the4 contract signed by the purchaser and this receipt should be carefully preserved. The eovernment has fixed the- follow ing terms for payments on bonds of the third Liberty loan: Five per cent paid with subscription; 20 per cent due May 28. 86 per cent due July 18, 40 per cent due August ,15. These terms are considered liberal. Attention is called to the fact that no payment la demanded in June, during which month Federal in come taxes and excess profit taxes must be nald. Delivery of bonds will be made in amounts not exceeding $10,000 upon pay ment in full on or before May 4, 1818. The banks of the city act as distribut ing agents for the government and all deliveries of bonds will be made tnrougn them. Each subscriber, whether he pays in part or in full for his bonds, must name a bank tnrougn wmcn no win take delivery, and to which subsequent payments, if any. are to be made. Subscriptions for bonds may be made at banks or at the Liberty temple, but It la preferred that all subscriptions be placed with the volunteer salesmen ana campaign managers especially request purchasers to be prepared to make sub scriptions and initial payments at the time when the salesman calls. The work of these salesmen la purely voluntary; they receive no remuneration whatever for their work, and all salesmen, com mittees and officials of the campaign are outtlnar forth their best efforts to complete the work of raising Portland's quota during the week April 0 to 13.
