Two Methods Are
Given for Cashing
Vet Bonus Bonds
Veterans May Present Them to q
Post Office or Send i'm to
U. S. Treasury T

Optional methods for cashing the
soldier bonus bonds on and after
June Is were prescribed the first of
the week by Secretary Morgenthau.
Under Treasury regulations veter-
ans may present the bonds for pay
ment at any post Office or send them
to the treasurer of the United States
in Washington.
Morgenthau stipulated that in
either case requests for payment,
which appear on the back of the
bonds, must be properly executed in
order to establish identity of the
owner.
The bonds will be dated June Is,
1886, maturing June Is, 1915, but
will be redeemable at once at the
name they are registered.
By the first method of payment,
the veteran may go to any post Of
flee, and in the presence of the
postmaster or other authorized Off
cial, sign the request for payment on
the back of the bond.
The veteran then will receive a
receipt for the bonds. Thereafter
check on the treasurer of the United
States payable to the veteran will
be forwarded to him by mail.
The veteran must establish his
identity to the satisfaction of the
post Office official, and if he is not
personally known, Morgenthau said
witnesses should accompany him to
establish his identity.
A number of post offices through
out the country have been authoriz-
ed to issue checks. Bonds may be
presented at any post Office, how
ever, and if that Office is not a pay
ing one, they will be forwarded to
Notwithstanding Office at the ex-
pense of the government.
Under the second method, the vet
eran may appear before any officer
authorized to witness requests for
payment such as postmasters and
the executive officers of banks and
trust companies and sign the re-
quest for payment in the presence
of the witnessing officer. The veter-
an must be known to the officers or
else he must be prepared to estab-
lish identity. The bond then will be
transmitted to the treasurer of the
United States at the expense Of the
veteran. Morgenthau suggested the
use of registered mail.
Officers witnessing veterans sig
natures will be held responsible for
positive Identification.
The regulations also provide for
payment of bonds in cases of death
or incompetence of the veteran. In
such cases, a legal representative
will be recognized. If no legal repre-
sentative exists, instructions should
be obtained from the division Of
loans and currency in Washington.

Keynoter
Assails the New Deal
Is, 900 COP. Enthusiasts Crowd
Into Convention Hall
on Tuesday
QUARREL is IN PROSPECT
LandOn Men in Leading Positions;
KeynOter Hammers ''New
Deal Extravaganza"

Senator Frederick Steiwer, repub-
lican senator from Oregon, lambast-
ed President Roosevelt and the New
Deal in his keynote address Tuesday
night when he officially opened the
G. O. P. national convention in
Cleveland, Ohio. Over $4,000 persons
damned the convention hall to hear
the speech that was broadcast over
national radio hook-up. He made a
bid for all dissatisfied democrats to
join the republican ranks as he made
a direct assault on the present adj
ministration, and proposed that the
G. o. P. carry the Lamp of Progress
in the future.
LandOn Men in High Places
Those who favor Governor Alfred
Landon for the nomination for the
President are already assuming con-
troll of the convention and a Landon-
tie has been named chairman of the
convention.
The camp of Senator Borah was
represented by former Senator
Thomas, silent as to whether he
would submit to the subcommittee
the planks aggressively urged by the
Idahoan. He had refused the chair
manship, offered by the Landonites.
AS they recessed for dinner, to re-
sumo at a late hour Tuesday and
probably continue until morning, the
problem of money plank stood out
as a foremost cause of disagreement,
with the fasteners insistent upon a
strong sound money declaration.
Monopoly was Borah's particular
issue. A declaration on that subject
Monday night by Governor Landon
served to remove many differences
between the two on that subject,
although the possibility of serious
controversy over phraseology per-
sisted.
Chief Disputes
Otherwise the chief disputes cen
tered upon foreign relations, the tar
Tiff and farm plank.
Even as it proceeded, however,
group of Landon leaders were meet
ing in quiet conferences elsewhere in
an effort to settle arguments over
money, monopoly, minimum wage
amendment and other points which
were threatening to drag the con-
vention into an open floor fight.
Speaker Makes No Reference
Steiwer himself steered carefully
away from references calculated to
help one candidate or another. His
calls for thrift" his hammering
against ''New Deal extravaganza, y
brought applause. He cautioned Re-
publicans against "defeatist talk OF
our enemies

Capt. Irving Johnson Slated
to Talk Wednesday
at Caleb Mills.

Capt. Irving Johnson, the man
who sailed the little two-masted
schooner Yankee" around the
world, is to speak in Caleb Mills
Hall Wednesday night, under the
auspices of the Mems Club of the
Episcopal Church of the Advent.
With Capt. Johnson on his me-
morable cruise was DR.. Rufus
Southworth of Cincinnati, brother
of the Rev. George S. Southworth,
rector of the Church OF the Adj
vent. DR.. Southworth sailed as
ships physician.
The young skipper is to illustrate
his talk with motion pictures, taken
with the camera that accompanies
him whenever he sails. In the lee
ture to be given here, "Circling the
Globe in the Yankee" the audience
will be shown scenes on the voyage
which began in Gloucester, Mass,
in November, 1888, and ended in
the same port a year from the
following May.
Ship 80 Feet Long
Among the ports visited were
Panama, Pitcairn and the Gala
pages Islands, Siam, Singapore,
Java, Bali, the Indian Ocean
Islands, South Africa, st. Helena,
Devils Island, British Guiana, the
West Indies and Bermuda.
The Yankee" which was built
by the Netherlands government in
1897, is only 90 feet in length.
There are hunks for % people, lock-
er room for five tons of food, and
space for over 1000 gallons of fresh
water.
Since Capt. Johnson returned last
May he has spent most of his time
cruising along the Maine coast. But
he is scheduled to sail on another
'round-t world cruise in November
and expects to be back in May, 1888
Went Through Hurricane
Besides his experiences with storms
and savage natives aboard the Yam
kee, Capt. Johnson went through a
wild october hurricane aboard Sir
Thomas Lipton's Shamrock V, when,
as mate, he helped sail her home
from the American races.
Much of the rigging was swept
away and the food was spoiled by
salt water, and so, to keep from
starving, the crew took the Sham
rock V back to England faster than
she ever sailed in a race.
The local appearance of Capt.
Johnson has been arranged by Ly-
man B. Whitaker, chairman of the
program committee, and Mr.. South
worth.
