War Savings Stamps S

The 1919 War Savings Stamps are
now placed on sale all over the coun-
try.
The 25-cent Thrift Stamps will be
the same as those now in use. If you
have Thrift Stamp card which is not
full on January 1. you can buy the
new stamps to fill it.
When you have bought 16 of these
Thrift Stamps, you can take them to
the bank or postofice and exchange
them for a $500 War Savings Stamp.
The additional amount you pay will be
only IL cents if you get your $500
stamp this month, Is cents if you get
1t in February, and one cent additional
for each month after that.
Thus. if you get your $500 stamp
this month it will have cost you only
$4.12. And for that $4.12 the Govern
ment promises to pay you $500 in cash
five years from now.
In other words. you will have $500
U. S. Government Bond. and it will
have cost you only $4.12. The differ
ence of ss cents is per cent COM
pound interest on your money.
And when you have 20 of the $500
Stamps. you will own a complete War
Savings Certificate. for which the Gov
ernment will pay you $10o in cash five
years from now. which will be all you
have paid for the stamps and APT per
cent interest on every penny besides.
If you should need your money be-
fore the five years are up, you can go
to the postofice and get it at any time
just the same as if you had it in .

The $500 War Savings Stamps are
about two-thirds the size of the 1918
issue. blue instead of green and bear
ing a portrait of Benjamin Franklin,
to distinguish them from the old
stamps.
The certificate on which the stamps
will be pasted is also different. and
much handsomer than the 1918 certif-
cate. Instead of being q double folder,
like the 1918 certificate, it is a single
folder. and smaller in size. 1t is hand
somely engraved in blue, with a dec
orative frame, which, when it is filled
with $500 stamps, makes. a handsome
blue certificate.
Do not paste the old green $500
stamps of 1918 in the new folder. If
you do. you lose a years interest, for
the 1918 stamps mature in 1928, while
the new ones will mature in 1924. If
you have certificate partly filled with
1918 War Savings Stamps, either fill it
with the old stamps or save it as it il
and get q new folder for the new
stamps.

War Savings Stamps have behind
them every dollar in the United
States in money or property; they
pay the big interest rate Of APT per
cent, free of all taxation; they can
always be redeemed on short notice,
and they are as good as gold.
Therefore, invest your money in
them for the sake of your boy in
khaki, to insure his homecoming; for
the sake Of his younger brothers and
sisters, to insure their welfare; for
your own sake, to protect your
future, and for the honor of your

CUNBOATS LOOK
FOR Liner AS
STORM CEASES
Spanish Ship, With Several
Hundred Passengers, Still
Missing After Gulf Gale.
(By Associated Press)

HAVANA, Sept. 10 Two Cuban
gunboats are searching along the
northern shore of the island and in the
Bahamas for some trace of the Span
ish steamboat Valbanera, which is
Zine days overdue and for the safety
of which grave fears are entertained.
The steamer with several hundred
passengers on board arrived off Morro
Castle on September 9, when a great
tropical hurricane was raging, and be-
ing unable to enter port, put out to
sea to wait for the storm to abate.
Faint wireless calls supposed to
come from the Valbanera have several
times been picked up here and at
Key West, but they were so feeble
that the location of the vessel could
not be learned.
While those who have hoped the
ship was safe are beginning to be
pessimistic over her fate, it is pointed
out that on one former occasion she
rode out storm fully as violent as the
one Of last week, reaching port four
teen days overdue and with her upper
works virtually stripped away by the
mountainous waves. They say the
ship was equipped with water-tight
compartments and was supposed to be
unsuitable.
1t is suggested that other means oil
finding the ship being fruitless, hydro
airplanes might be sent out from Key
West to search for the Nalbanera.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. Ex-senator
Hiram w. Johnson, Of California, in
an address to special session of the
Minnesota legislature this morning,
presented his arguments in opposition
to the unqualified ratification to the
league of nations covenant.
The senator expressed the opinion
that IL action on the league could be
delayed 60 days, the people would
speak in positive terms and insist upon
its defeat or amendment so as to pro-
tect the country's interest.
Opposition Growing.
Public sentiment against the league
Is growing every day and is fast as
suming the proportions of a revolu-
ton. said Senator Johnson.
Its friends realize that If 1t is not
rushed through now, before the people
have had an opportunity to under
stand it, their cause is hopeless. That
explains the haste to have it ratified
without amendment" The statement
that mediate action is necessary to
stabilize business is absurd" he said.
