TO Be STOPPED
Illegal Traffic in Savings Stamps
and Liberty Bonds to Bring
Penalties.
PROPOSED LAW PROVIDES
REWARD FOR CONVICTION
City and Village Councils Requested
to Pass Ordinance Aimed
at S~calpers.

Following Investigations in Mime
| apolis and throughout the Ninth Fed
eral Reserve district, when it was dis
covered that a widespread effort pre-
walls by promoters to trade worthless
stock for Liberty bonds and to pur-
chase Wal Savings and Thrift stamps
at less than real value, efforts are I'M
der way to have cities and villages
throughout the district pass an ordi.
nance providing criminal prosecutions
under civil authority.
The War Savings organization has
had prepared by the United States
legal department a proposed ordi-
nance It will be first presented at an
early meeting of the Minneapolis city
council and it has for it's particular
purpose the regulation by the police OF
War Savings and Thrift Stamps sales.
Penalties are Established.
The proposed ordinance provides
that lit shall be unlawful for any per-
son. firm or corporation to purchase
either with cash or with obligations
or credits or merchandise, or to ac-
cept for collateral any United States
War Savings Stamps or Thrift Stamps
from any person, firm or corporation,
except the United States government,
or duly authorized representatives"
The ordinance would likewise forbid
the sale of such stamps except by and
for the government.
For each stamp illegally sold a fine
of not less than so nor more than
$500 is provided and a reward of s.
is to be paid the person furnishing the
Information resulting in a conviction
Glass Issues Warming.
Garter Glass, secretary of the treas
ury, has issued a warning from WASH
ington in which he says:
"A large number of persons are be-
ing duped by these swindlers. It is
The duty of all citizens to act against
these fraudulent operations in govern
ment securities at this time, when We
AN i'll afford to dissipate our
for the profit of the u~nscrupulous
few"
"Fostered by the greed and avarice
OF people preylng upon Fellow cit :
Gems" said NJ f.. Harrison, director,
there has sprung up a practice known
as 'scalping' Wal Savings Stamps al |
Thrift Stamps. Complaints reach thi )
office from persons who have been
ieeced and in accordance with plans
for the 1920 Savings Stamps sales, we
are in~augurating this campaign tn do
away with these vultures of the fnan-
lcial underworld
p. o. Will Pay If Stamps Must Go.
The government has provided that
War Savings Stamps owners may cash
them in at any post office at the price
paid plus accrued interest. To illus
trate,-suppose a person in May, 1915,
purchased ten War Savings Stamps at
the price of $4.16 each, a total of
SAL so paid and wishes to redeem
them in November, 1919, All he need
do is to go to the post office, give ten
days notice and at the end of that
period receive S43.40. The scalper

Ps.hetie Query.

The nurse had been entertaining her patient by singing some of his favorite songs to him. There was one song in particular that the little boy liked much, and he never failed to ask his nurse to sing it to him every time she came into the room. She had already sung it dozen times or more that morning, when on coming into the room after few minutes absence she heard little voice from the other end of the room: "Say, nurse, do you think you have enough tone left to sing that song again?"
