In offering War Savings Stamps tho public tho United Slates govern ment lias maao Immediately avail ablo for every man, woman and child in tho country a profitable, stmplo nnd secure Investment. "What They Aro. War Savings Stamps tho the answer of a great democracy to tho doninnd for a dem ocratic form of government security. Thoy aro "llttlo baby bonds." Like Liberty bonds, they have behind thorn tho entire resources of the govern ment and people of tho United States. Thoy have tho additional advantago that they steadily Increase In valuo from the date of purchase until tho dato of maturity, and this lncreaso Is guaranteed by the government. These stamps are Issued in two denomina tions, tho 25-cent stamp and tho ?5 stamp. For tho convenience of Investors n "thrift card" Is furnished to all pur chasers of 25-cent stamps. This card has spaces for 16 stamps. When all tho spaces have been filled the thrift card may be exchanged for a $5 stamp at postofflces, banks, or other authorized agencies by adding 12 cents In cash prior to February 1, 1918, and 1 cent additional each month thereafter. Thoso who prefer may buy a J 5 stamp outright. These were put on salo December 3, 1917, until January 31, 1918, for 94.12. They automatic ally Increase In value a cent a month every month thereafter until January 1, 1923, when the United States will pay $5 at any postofflec or at tho treasury in Washington for each stamp affixed "to a War Savings Cer- ' tificato. When you purchase a 5 stamp, you must attach It to an engraved folder known as a "War Savings Cer tificate" which bears tho namo of the purchaser and can be cashed only by tho person whose name appears upon the certificate; except in case of death or disability. This certificate contains 20 spaces. If these are all filled with War Savings Stamps be tween December 3, 1917, and Jan uary 31, 1918, the cost to the pur chaser will be $82.40, and on Jan uary 1, 1923, the government will pay the owner of the certificate $100 a net profit to the holder of $17.60. This Is based on an Interest rato of four per cent, compounded quarterly from January 2, 19 IS. The amount of War Savings Stamps sold to any ono person at any one time shall not exceed $100 (maturity value), and no person may hold such stamps or War Savings Certificates to an ag gregate amount exceeding $1000 (maturity value). If tho holder of a War Savings Certificate finds It necessary to re alize cash on it before maturity, he may at any time after January 2, 1918, upon giving 10 days' written notlco to' any money-order postoffice, recolve for each stamp affixed to his certificate the amount paid therefor plus 1 cent for each calendar month after tho month of purchase of each stamp. A registered certificate may be redeemed, however, only at the postofflco where registered. In other words, the plan is simple, straightforward, and certain. The holder of the certificates can not lose and is certain to gain. He Is buying the safest security In tho world In the moBt convenient form In which the .security of a great government h. over been offered to its people. Why You Should Buy Thorn. Tho main roason for the purchase of War Savings Stamps Is because your coun try Is at war. Your country needs every penny which every man, woman and child can savo and lend, In order to feed, clothe, arm and equip the soldiers an.il sailors of America to win this righteous war In defense of American' honor and the cause of democracy throughout tho world. If we are to win tho war, we must win it aa a united people. The sav ings of every man, woman and..chlld are necessary If we aro to hasten the victorious- ending of tho war.

Uuy War Savings Stamps nt post offices, banks, trust companies or other authorized agencies, ami strike a blow for our country, DIVISION SUCCESSFUL. (From Thursday's Dally.) Mr. Stadias WhUdklLtiirfroW; tlio Commercial club yesterday igavo a good dealvoftplaasurA-to tl)Vu who heard thorn. 'Tho appreciation nnd roady recognition of tho fact that division was working successfully In tho caso of Deschutes county was very satisfactory, and coming from Mr. Stadlg, who originally was a bit ter opponent of the plan, the state ment wns all tho moro agreeable. Division has been successful. Thero can be no doubt of that. Taxes hnvo boon lowered In tho new county. Ef ficiency In tho county offices has been promoted. Road money has been spent from headquarters nearer the Job nnd thereforo, wo bcllove, with better results and moro accom plished. Moro money hns been ob tained from tho state for roads by Crook and Deschutes than would have been posslblo It they had been one county. One of tho (greatest benefits af forded by the new county was wholly unexpected, that Is, In the service provided locally for war work. The exlstenco of a draft board In He ml and Its ready access to the young men of this town and tho surround ing country, instead of their having to do business In Prlnevllle, has saved more tlmo and money than can be calculated. Then, too, slnco the coun ty has been tho unit for the organiza tion of all tho money-raising drives, the work has been dono more success fully and with less overhead cost, by having separato headquarters in both the county seats, than would have been the case If it had been carried on from Prlnevlllo alone. Ono thing Mr. Stadlg said, that Rend had kept her promlso was es pecially gratifying to his hearers. It does not make us glad to be told that wo are honest when wo know that BSei TAKE ADVANTAGE OV THIS INDOOR WEATHER TO USE DECORET A richly tinted tfloM finith, deigned for refinuhintf in coloring any kind of wood or metal tervice in LiVht Oak D.rk Oak Weathered Oak Walnut Flemish Cherry Mahogany Roiewood .,., JAPANESE Olt STAINS In many rich, durable colpri; mky he' ksdhere.i'lui' " ' A complete Una of Fuller PainU, Oils.

"We Give Service wo are, but thero Is n satisfaction In having tho fact acknowledged by thoso who have boon suspicious of us. Suspicion of tho town nnd of Its sincerity In working for division wore reasons for many votes ttgalnst the plan. Now that thai suspicion Is re moved any proposal for tho benefit of tho wholo section which may omii- nnte from hero should find n more ready acceptance. WHAT COUNTS. Did It over occur to you when you aro trying to get ahead a bit finan cially, that It Isn't so much what you earn that counts It's what you save. The head of thu household hag-lilt salary boosted a bit occasionally and tho household celebrates tho event with duo ceremony. But tho trouble Is that it usually goes on celebrating In the way of added extravagance not necessities, mind you that soon oat up the "raise" and somo moro along with it. Uncle Sam knows this to bo a fact. Ho knows that tho American home wherein thore can bo morn frugality, more thrift nnd less extravngauee, Is thu exception and not tho rule. Moreover, Uuclu Sam wiinls you to do your bit towards winning tho war against Prussian militarism and au tocracy mid ho Is furthering the War Savings Thrift Campaign us n moan by which you can put your savings, from "two-bits" to $1000 t work for tho host cause under tho sun. For a starlor It's as easy to buy a Thrift Stamp as It Is to buy a loaf of bread. Try It. Praying Soldier Rewarded.
