Exehange Of Bonds.

The United States Government is
now ready to exchange II per cent
bonds for any bonds Of either the First
or Second Liberty loan. ANY Cresco
Bank will gladly effect this exchange
for anyone wishing them to do 80, upon
dslivas TO the bank Of the bond to be
Fsxchls sc and the Necessary fee to be
sent 11sf tie bonds. The fees ne, 90
cents on each persons bonds and an
additional fee Of 10 cents on coupon
bonds, for insurance registered bonds
do not need to be insured. The fees ~
stated here are something less than the
Government minimum fee with postage
added, but there will be few bondhold-
ers in Cresco whose exchange will re-
quire more than the minimum fee and
the Cresco banks agree to take care Of
the exchange on this fiat rate.
The only advantage in the exchange
is the increase Of / per cent in the in.
terest rate.
Third Liberty Loan At per cent bonds
can never be exchanged for bonds Of .
higher rate, therefore 1t per cent
bonds received at this time in exchange
for 81 per cent or 4 per cent bonds, can
never. be exchanged for bonds of .
higher rate.
Second Liberty Loan per cent
bonds and First Liberty Loan convert
ed 4 per cent bonds not exchanged At
this time can never be exchanged for
higher rate bonds. So, with the ex-
:piration Of the present exchange period,
there will be no Liberty bonds that can
ever be exchanged for bonds of q high
er rate, except the First Liberty loan
81 per cent bonds.
If you are . bondholder and wish to
make this exchange, kindly notify
your bank not later than August 81.

Don't Cash Your War Savings Stamps

In an effort to discourage the con-
version of War Savings Stamps into
cash. the Iowa War Savings commit
tee has perfected plans to keep an abb
solute check on all such redemptions.
Chairmen of all county organizations
and all postmasters will be enlisted in
the Campaign to discourage the CASH
ing Of stamps.
1t is planned to start this campaign
early and in this manner prevent any
sizeable cashing in of stamps in Iowa. Z
The state committee realizes that
there were great many unpatriotic
persons who purchssedDstamps to sat-
isfy the soliciting teams with the idea
of converting them into cash as soon %
possible after. 1t is to head off such
unpatriotic action that leaders in the
War Savings campaign are bending
their energies.
"A man who purchases War Savings
stamps with the idea of cashing them
in Immediately, is a worse Stacker than
a man who declines to purchase the
stamps in the first place, " said Homer
A. Miller. state director of the CAM
paign. The government knows it can
expect no help from the second class :of
men and does not count on them. It
has been promised help from the first
class Of men and bases its. expendi.
lures accordingly. In short time the
Stacker demands his money from the
government and the government faces
the situation of being forced to return
money that has been pledged for its
use, money that it has counted on and
even spent for supplies and food with
which to carry on the war"
THE man who converts his War
Savings stamps into cash when he can
afford to carry them during the entire
five year period is sticking . knife in
the back of some soldier boy who is in
the trenches. There will be many in
stances where people bought stamps
with the very best intentions and were
forced by, financial reverses or sick~
ness to realize the cash on them. There
is no question but what those people
should bs paid their money. We ars,
however, going to make it an unpopu-
lar thing for persons to convert their
stamps who are financially able to car
~ them"

CHRISTMAS AND THE SPIRIT

Two artists We're asked to make a

The other studied the painting entered

duced not merely an imitation, but q
picture which glowed with warmth
and life. We are not. as Christians,
simply to copy Christ. but rather to
become possessed OF his spirit and so
reproduce his life In our lives. At
this Christmas season let US aim to
become possessed of the spirit Of
Christ, and so reproduce his life.

recalled. II may not have been pre-

The stock OF wood was low. and night
had fallen. when there came a knock
nj the door. A shiverlng child stood
there. saying that her mother had no
wood. that the baby was sick and the
father gone on spree. She begged
for a little wood. "Dlvide our stock
with her" said Mr.. Alcott, "and we
will trust In Providence. The weather
will moderate or wood will come" No
wonder that the children trained In
the Alcott household grew up heed
less OF prlvation and generous to those
whose need was great. This Is the
true Christmas spirit. II our Christ

the love that Christ brought to the

The way professional needleworkers
