system Of Purchase
OF Bonds on Deferred
Payments Explained

Some misapprehension exists con-
corning the terms on which savings
and loan associations will handle the
sale of fourth Liberty bonds on the
monthly instalment plan, according
to officials. 1t arises, they say, from
inaccurate statements published with
reference to the interest accruing
on the bonds during the period of
the installment payments,
Associations are generally agreed
on monthly payments, instead OF
weekly payments, the latter involv
ing too much clerical labor. On a
$50 bond the official initial payment
of 10 per cent is required, and sub
sequent monthly payments of 81
until the purchase is completed.
Payments on a 500 bond will be
double that on $50 bond, and so
on to the limit of the purchase. No
charge will be made for service.
Payments may be increased at will.
On completion of the purchase the
bondholder will receive prorata
share of the accrued interest on the

Abe GerStein Visits Grave of
Lieutenant Roosevelt and
Sees Service in the
Trenches.

Dave Crounse, 6l0 North Twen-
ty-second street, Omaha, is in re-
ceipt of two letters from his cousin,
Abram Gerstein. In these letters
he states that it is just six months
since he left American shores and
that for three of them he has seen
service on the front line in two diff
ferent sectors.
The first letter is dated August
10Th, and in it he states that he has
been i'll the big drive and under the
guiding hand OF good fortune he
has been permitted to come out
uninJured, and is now spending a
brief time in a rest camp in the rear,
but expects to go up to the front
again at any moment.
That Abe shares Omaha's pride in
Company A is evidenced in his let
ter where he says Our boys have
made splendid showing in this CAM
paign." Quoting still further from
his letter he says: 1T will no doubt
be interesting to you to know that
it has been my pleasure to see the
grave of Lieutenant Quentin Roose-
welt. A few or our Red Cross decor
ated it with flowers. At the head
of his grave is cross made from

I'VE have your letter of Septem-

and one can readily understand why

And then in the closing lines OF
his letter he speaks words which
show that he as caught the spirit OF
the true soldier. well, dear cousins,
don't worry about me. We must let
God be the Judge as to when a man
must die. Over here we all have a
nonChalant idea of death. although
we take every @precaution to pre-
vent it. The air vibrates with sound
and the earth shakes, but unless |

learn how safe it is fiat on the
ground and what a small target you
make, you conclude your chances
ar very good, unless it has been de-
creed otherwise.
The second letter is under date OF
September 4, and bears evidence
that he has been up in the front
lines again.
He says: Il was wounded August

lett foot with machine gun bullet,
