partment will be working upon in

nected with the bonds.

tifieates. which were never ex-
changed for bonds the applications
for conversion must be made to
banks not later than tomorrow SO
that the interim certificates may be
sent direct to the Richmond Federal
Reserve Bank for conversion.
Banks VIII Aid Owners.
The large majority of Washington
purchasers of the 81 per cent loan
still retain the interim certificates,
preferring not to press the Treasury
for conversion at q time when the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing
was so hard pressed in getting out
bonds it was unable to supply the
securities for the department In
many cases the banks did not deliver
the interim certificates to purchasers,
holding them for the conversion
period now at hand. The banks, how
ever, will not convert the certificates
into per cent bonds unless directed
to do so, and will deliver tc the pur-
chasers 81 per cent bonds as origi-
nally subscribed for.
Where the subscribers hold the GER
tiflcates themselves ii is only neces-
sary to go to the bank with which you
deal, turn in the certificates and make
application for conversion.

Is no wonder that great change is
to be seen taking place In their lives
within their very hearts.
This change may result evil II It
Is not tempered with the love and the

the injection into the lives OF these
mon an element OF home, of love and
a knowledge on the part of these boys
that their welfare Is and always will
remain subject OF longing and de-
sire on the part OF those they have left
behind.
This element can be injected best
by the establishment of these Hostess
homes ut the training cantonments.
Under the roof OF these homes our
boys may meet the right kind of
women under the proper influences.
There were mothers. sisters, sweet
hearts and wives may visit them and
the great change which Is taking place
in their lives-their change from
pea loving boys into fighting men
will be tempered with the love of
home and the knowledge that no mat

bic here. The men will engage in

methods which have been developed
during the present conflict
