HOMES REGISTRATION
SERVICE PROVING OF
MUCH VALUE

Reports coming into the United
States Bureau of Houarlg and Trans
portation of the work accomplished
by the 70 branches of the Homes Re-
qistration Service which have been
instituted by the Bureau in various
parts of tie country illustrate the
timely value of these organizations
in helping to meet the acute need of
proper housing accommodations for
the industrial workers Of the country.
The Homes Registration Service at
Newport, r. L., has made an especial
ly creditable record in registry. For
med by taking over the existing re-
aistraton machinery and expanding
it to cover the placement of large 1u-
nebers or workers called to that parti
cuIar locality by the necessity OF
prompt fulfiTment of Government mu'
milton contracts, it has kept open II
hours day, and until p. m. on SUM-
days, in order to meet the heavy de-
mands made upon it.
A report sent in from the Newport
office for the week ending December
20, 1918, gives 5.0a7 as the total num-
Der of applications for living accom-
modations filled by that Service up
to date. These placements in some
weeks run as high as 3o6, and fire.
puentIy 90 far over 100. They have
been made chiefly for workers at the
training station, thetorpedo station,
and the coddington Point plant but
quarters have also been found for
transients, and for the relatives and
friends of men in the service.
The report states that the work of
registration has slowed up to some ex-
tent since the signing of the armis-
tice; but that approximately from 80
to 100 placements are still made each
week.
Another report coming from Seattle,
Wash. for the week ending January
q. 1919, shows that the total number
Of applications filed in that city up
10 date was 1856. Single men, single
women, or married couples willing to
board, are listed in the Seattle re-
port as the classes most easily accom-
moda.ed, while families with children
or anyone wanting modern furnish
ed apartment, or small house are al
most impossible to place.

KEEP YOUR LIBERTY
BONDS" SAYS MCADOO

Our boys in the army and navy have
consecrated their lives to the winning
of the war. Their enlistment CONT
nues until their work is accomplished
The enlistment Of your dollars should
continue until at least cush a time as
your government no longer neede
your aid in helping to pay the cost Of
the war. Our boys at the front in the
service of their government have ne
yer quit. If you sell your Liberty
Bonds you quit at time when the
government needs your continued sup
port. Every time you quit by selling
your Liberty Bonds, you hurt the ere
dit of our government and make It
more difficult to finance the war. The
cost of War continues until Peace is
signed, until our gallant boys are all
brought back to American soil.
Hold Your Liberty Bonds
Don't exchange them for merchant
Use or for other securities which may
be worthless. Don't sell them except
under pressure of necessity. Keep
them in a safe place or have them re.
uistered in your name.
Hold fast to your Liberty Bond in
vestments and be prepared for the
"ralny day" which may come to all.
There is no investment safer than a
United States Government Bond.
