REGISTERED BONDS.

A registered bond is payable to the
order of the owner, and can only be
transferred by being property indoors
ed and assigned by the owner. Such
assignment is made by the owner fill
ing in the blank form on the back of
the bond, and must be witnessed by
some officer authorized by the regula-
tions of the Treasury Department to
witness assignments. The owner Of
the registered bond who wishes to
part with it writes his name on the
back of the bond in the presence of
the officer; then the witnessing officer
writes his name in its proper place
and affixes an impression of his Off
cial seal.
The officers wac are authorized to
witness assignments are a United
States judge, United States district
attorney, clerk of United States court,
collector of customs, collector or as
SCISSOR of internal revenue, United
States Treasurer or Assistant Treas
urer, or the president or cashier of a
national bank, or if in foreign
country, a United States minister or
consul. In cases where there is no
officer within a reasonable distance,
or when, through sickness or for some
other good reason, the owner of regis
tered bonds can not go before one of
these officers, the Treasury Depart
ment will designate some person near
the owner to act as witness,
When the owner of registered
bond disposes of it and has properly
assigned it, he delivers it to the new
owner, who should at once forward it
to the Register of the Treasury for
transfer on the books of the Depart
ment. The Register cancels the bond
80 forwarded and issues new bond
in the name os the new owner. and
sends it to him by registered mail.
The Department makes no charge for
transferring bonds.
If the owner of a registered bond
looses it, or if it is stolen from him,
he should atonce notify the Secretary
of the Treasury. A stoppage will be
entered against the bond, and, if it
should be presented for transfer, the
Department will hold possession of
the bond until the ownership is clear
ly established. If lost or stolen
bond is not recovered within six
months, the Department will issue
duplicate bond upon proof of loss and
q bond of indemnity being furnished.
The interest on registered bonds is
paid by the Government by means of

checks. In order that no mistake
may be made in the payment OF inter
est, the books of the Department are
"closed" for a period, varying accord
ing to the importance OF the loan.
The books of the four per cent loan OF
1907 are closed for the whole month
preceding the interest payment. Dur
ing this period no transfers are made,
and the time is devoted to preparing
SCHEDULES" which contain the names
of the owners. the amount of bonds
each one holds, and the amount OF in
terest due each one. When these
schedules have been prepared and
proved, they are sent to the Treasurer
of the United States, who Immediate
ly has checks and envelopes addressed
and in due time each check is mailed
to tho address of it's owner. The
checks for the more distant points are
first mailed. lnterest checks are OBJ
legations of the United States, and. OF
course, are good everywhere.
Coupon bonds are issued in denam-
nations of 500, 500, $500 and 81 900.
Registered bonds are issued in de-
nominations of 500, 500, $500, $1,000
$1,000, $4,000.
HOW TO SUBSCRIBE FOR NEW BONDS.
The war loan which is now being
offered will he sold to subscribers at
par during the period of subscription
which ends July Il, 1898. The method
of subscription has been made as
simple as possible. Blank forms may
be obtained at every money'order
post-ofice. 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 remittance may be in whatever
form best suits the subscribers con-
venience-in currency, bank draft,
check, post, office money order, or ex
press money order. The day the
currency is received, or the day the
proceeds are received from the checks,
drafts, or money orders, the subscrip- |
ton will be entered and will immedi- |
ately begin drawing interest. When
the bonds are delivered, a check will
accompany each delivery covering
the interest at per cent from the day
the subscription is entered to the LIST
of August, the date of the bonds, and
from which date the bonds will carry
their own interest.
