Investors to Be First Accommodated.
THE WooD COUNTY REPORTER has re-
ceived circular letter from the secre-
tary of the treasury requesting that
attention be called to the method OF
subscribing for the new war bonds.
The subscriptions for the bonds of
smaller denominations, by smaller in
vestOrs, will be first allotted. Both
coupon and registered bonds will be
issued, and investors may specify which
they desire. Coupon bonds will be
issued in denominations of 500, 500,
$500 and 81 900. Registered bonds will
be issued in these denominations and
also in $1,000 and $4,000 denomina-
tons.
The war loan which is now being Of
fered will be sold to subscribers at par
during the period of subscription, which
ends July II, 1898. The method of
subscription has been made as simple as
possible. Blank forms may be obtained
at every money-order postoffice, and at
most Of the banks and express offices,
and on these forms is clearly indicated
all that it is necessary for the subscriber
to fill out. The subscriber may himself
mail to the treasury department at
Washington the blank form filled out,
together with his remittance covering
the par value Of the amount of bonds for
which he wishes to subscribe. That re-
mittance may be in whatever form best
suits the subscribers convenience-in
currency, bank draft, check, postoffice
money order, or express money order.
The day the currency is received, or the
day the proceeds are received from the
checks, drafts, or money orders, the sub
scriptlon will be entered and Will imme-
diately begin drawing interest. When
the bonds are delivered, check will
accompany each delivery covering the
interest at 3 per cent from the day the
subscription is entered to the first of
August, the date Of the bonds, and from
which date the bonds will carry their
own interest.
