The Treasury Department has ad-
vised every holder Of bonds of the
Fourth Liberty Loan to re-invest the
half-year interest which became due

savings stamps. The government IS
thrift campaign offers Liberty Bond
holders, particularly the holders of
single bonds and small lots, an op-
portunity to place their Liberty Bond
interest Immediately at work for the
government at lucrative interest
rate. Liberty Bond interest coupons,
as such, do not earn interest. They
are the interest. Invested in war
savings stamps the interest will earn
four per cent compounded quarterly,
will be safely invested, and will be
always available for d pressing need.
The bonds of the Fourth Liberty
Loan, which paid six months interest
ON the 18th inst, earn at the rate of
a IA per cent Two coupons from
800 bonds ofsIhis issue will more

stamp.
Through the Postofice Depart
ment the Treasury Department has
arranged that Liberty Bond interest
coupons will be accepted as cash in
the purchase Of thrift stamps or war
savings stamps atsany postoffice.

NEW PLANS FOR RAISING FUND!
Salvation Army Discontinues Person.
al and Tambourine Solicitation.

/ 3
The Salvation Army, through its
commanding officer, has addressed a
circular letter to the shcriffs Of the
Louisiana parishes west Of the Mis-
sissippi river excepting Assump-
ton, Terrebonne, Lafourche, st.
Charles, Jefferson and Plaquemines--
and to the mayors and chiefs OF po-
lice and to all newspapers and bus1-
ness men in said territory, advising
them Of the discontinuance of per-
sonal and tambourine solicitation OF
funds for It's work. The reason
given is that it desires to protect the
public against takers and imposters,
claiming to be salvationists, who are
travelling through this territory col
|lecting funds ostensibly for this Wor'k,
but in reality for themselves They
wear uniforms or caps similar to
these Of the Salvation Army The
letter warns the people in the terri
tory named, that if any persons calls
upon thep a}aiming to represent the
Salvation Ghy, to demand their ere
dentials, which in this territory
should bear the signature Of Briga-
dier George Wood, Dallas, Texas,
chief divisional officer. The warning
does not apply to salyationists IN
their own corps cities who are well
known, as these will continue their
|collections until their local corps Is
placed on a sound financial basis.
The army proposes to carry on OPP
erations for sraising Of necessary
funds, by annual collections or cam
paigns by committees Of business
men and others organized for that
purpose. #
