What shall we do to add to the happiness of the occasion? Each one of us would like not only to wish our friends a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, but to give them one. We cannot do this by means of ill-considered presents. Thought less gifts cause the January ash can to bulge with debris. Only when our gifts have lasting meaning do they carry the true message of good-will which Is the spirit of real giving. We can give happiness and con tentment and safety for the future as well as pleasure for the moment. Such gifts are within reach of all. They are to be found in the Savfngs Securities of the United States Gov ernment. From the 25 cent Thrift Stamp to the 11000 Treasury Savings Certificate, they will carry with them not only the greatness of the season but happiness for years to come. In presenting the child a card with one thrift stamp affixed, you bestow not only a present but a habit which will grow in value as the days pass, for they will wish to fill the card. That little gift will grow wonderfully be fore another Christmas comes around, and the receplent will be on the way to a life of independence. In recommending these lasting gifts, the Savings Division of the Treasury does not suggest that a single American curtail his Christ mas giving. It suggests only that he broaden It to include this present which will bring future well-being to those he loves. Thrift Stamps, Savings Stamps and Treasury Certificates will be on sale throughout the year 1921. In con tinuing the sale of Government Savings Securities, the Government is giving the opportunity to every man. woman and child in the land through the coming year to enjoy the happiness, prosperity and con tentment which is found in financial Independence and security for the future. —Buy W.

Application blanks may be secured of your chief of police or marshal, city or town re corder. sheriff, county clerk and the licensed motor vehicle dealers in your locality, or by request of the Secretary of State, Salem, Oregon.
