REGISTRATION OF WAR
BONDS is URGED BY
LOAN OFFICIALS
Important Information on Liberty
Bonds Given Out by Gov
eminent Officials.

Important information concerning
the registration of Liberty Loan bonds,
as given out by the bond department.
Of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chi
tago contains the following quotation
from letter from the treasury de-
partment:
with reference to accepting sub
ecrfptions for bonds to be registered
In the names of persons giving only
initials rather than the full name, I
have to say that it is the intent of
the department, not for it's own sake,
but for the sake of the holders of reg
tstered bonds, to have them registered
In such manner as to enable the said
holders, or their legal representatives,
TO dispose of them in the simplest and
readiest manner. Bonds issued to wom-
en- under their initials, or under the
initials of their husbands, are not read
Lily transferable in case of the death
Of the holder.
Though letters of administration
would be issued in the legal name Of
the deceased, and the bonds would be
inscribed in her name, under her ini-
tials, or those of her husband, as the
case might be, the letters of admin
tstration and the bonds would not
Rgree as to the name, and therefore
the administrator Of Mrs. Sarah A.
Smith, say, would have to prove that
she AID Mrs. Thomas w. Smith (or
Mrs. s. Smith) were one and the same
person. 1t is to avoid troubles of this
character that the department has in
sisted on receiving the legal name Of
persons subscribing for registered
bonds.
'Of course, the department cannot
refuse to issue bonds under initials If
the parties interested insist upon it,
but If is requested that you, in all
cases where it is possible, insist on re-
ceiving the full names of persons sub
scrihng for registered bonds"

Mrs. Herbert Herrick of 636 West
Broadway ST., Council Bluffs, Ia:
MY SISTER AND BROTHER
Pm a little wood girl
Though my brothers soldier boy
And the letters he sends to me
Just fills my heart with JOY.
My brother is a very kind boy
And so is my sister too
And whatever my loving sister does
That's what | usually do.
My sister has joined the Red Cross
And my brothers soldier boy
My sister wraps up wounds and
sores,
And my brother fights for Joy.
| guess III. pick some flowers,
And make beautiful wreath,
And give it to my sister
Or my brother, who fights fol-
peace.
But unless | make another
IL surely would be wrong
And so I'll make both one
And join the Happy Song.

Bout the burdens they must bear
Just to keep our soldiers fightin'
In the trenches lover there"
Then want to show picture,
One saw tn other day,
OF little Belgian youn'un
An her granny, old an gray.
In each face was tears and terror,
Born of Teuton greed and lust,
An ! pledged my all to Freedom,
If to give my I'LL must.
Then a new song woke within me,
A refrain 1 can't forget;
swell ali go broke if we hat t.
But there's no one busted vet"
None of us is facin' hunger,
None need fear to seek his bed
Lest a demon in Gotha
Hurl a bomb from overhead.
Here we go along a-singin'
Only now and then we sigh,
An we never see soldier
-Cept our own a-marching by.
Folks, we'd ought to be so grateful
To each fghtin' Yankee boy
That TIL sacrifice of givin'
Should be measured as joy.
So let's do our part-full- hearted
Smile and say without regret:
We'll all go broke if we hat t.
But there's no one busted yeti"

Literature Among the Doctors.

The New York Medical Journal
deigns to enter the field of literary
criticism via the ''Nine Humorous
Tales" of Anton Checkov. In review
ing this volume the medical authority
remarks:
''For many years France led the
way in short story writing, though
many of them resembled delicate wa
ter color sketches having an unanalyt-
ical charm. Then came the
American authors, who have equaled
the French, but in different way.
Their short stories are like powerful
sketches in black and white. ~
The Inspiration OF these profundities
lies in the fact that Checkov was once
doctor. This explains Checkov's pc
culiarities perfectly. He is q doctor
as well as Russian.

PROFIT FROM CoyNTRY's Loss
German Firm Of Daimler Has Justly
Earned the ExecratIon Of lto
countFymen.

The latest German papers to reach
this country are devoting considerable
space to the so-cal1ed sDaimler case, :
which has stirred all Germany. The
principal character of the case is the
Daimler firm OF Stuttgart, which Is
one OF the largest German concerns
manufacturing automobiles and air
plane motors.
The German public was Informed
that the German military authorities
had taken over the entire control Of
the Daimler works. The reasons for
taking over the Daimler factories by
the government were not explained till
the matter was taken up in the reichs-
tag.
1t was brought out that the Daim-
Ter firm repeatedly without sufficient
reasons, had raised It's prices OF auto
mobiles sold to the German govern
ment; that 1t had refused to allow the
government to inspect its books, and
that its profits ran as high as 1900
per cent, while the firm pretended that
its profits did not amount to more than
IL per cent.
