WAR SAVINGS.
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. War

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

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

reasons for many votes ttgalnst the

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

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

by which you can put your savings,

For a starlor It's as easy to buy a
Thrift Stamp as It Is to buy a loaf of
bread. Try It.
