BONDS GIVEN OUT

Details of how war thrift stamps
will be handled by the government
when arrangements have been made
for their sale at grocery stores, cigar

aPe and can easily be understood
, History of how the war stamps
tamc t0 be Put on saIe t0 reach n
: vestors who could not afford to buy
Liberty bonds dates from the issu-
ance of the second loan, which con
tained a paragraph, authorized by
congress, for the secretary of the
treasury to dispose of $2,000,000,000
worth ot securities in bonds as low
as 3. Secretary McAdoo was given
authority to work out the details,
$1,000 Is Limit.
The act provides that no person
can own more than $1,000 worth of
these certificates nor can he buy
more than $100 worth at a time. The
obvious reason for this was to prevent
the loan being taken up by large in
vestors.
The 'baby securities carry the
highest rate of interest the govern
ment has ever paid on money it has
borrowed.
During December, 1917, and Janu
ary, me, 10 3-cent thntf stamps
can be turned in at any authorized
agency with 12 cents, or a total of
$4.12 and a $5 war savings stamp can
be obtained. This stamp, while worth
only $4.12 when bought, will at the
end of five years be worth $5 and at
that time can be cashed at any post
office for that amount.
Graduation Scale.
During December this year i and
T r .. p V
jauuaiy ui ncxi year a 3 war savings
stamps will cost $4.12 in February
$4.13, in March $4.14, in April $4.15,
and so they will cost 1, cent more
each month up to December 1918,
when the campaign ends, thev will
s. for $4.23 each. When one pur-
cnases tne tirst o-cent thrift stamp a
card is given on which 16 of these
stamps can be pasted. When one pur
chases a $5 war savings stamp or
turns in a card with 16 thrift stamps
on it, and 12 cents extra, he gets
one $5 war savings stamp and a war
savings certificate card that has room
for 20 of the war savings stamps. The
name and address of the purchaser is
written on a certificate when tought.
If it is. lost all the finder has to do is
to drop it in the mail box in accord
ance with the instructions on the card
and it will be returned to the owner.
$100 Bond for $82.40.
If one desires to buy $100 worth of
war savings stamps they will cost
him $82.40 during December of this
year and January of next year and a
little more each month throughout
the year. When the stamps are
bought one will get a certificate con
taining 20 stamps which five years
hence, or on January 1, 1923, will be
worth $100.
If one buys one or more war sav
ings stamps and does not want to
keep them for the period of five years
tney can be cashed at any postoffice
and the holder can get 3 per cent on
the money invested in them from the
time the stamps were bought. How
ever, it the purchaser keeps them to
the end of the five-year period, tne
government pays, interest at the rate
of 4 per cent, compounded Quarterly.
which amounts to about 4.37 per cent
per year.
Average $20 per Person.
The secretary of the treasury has
allotted to Nebraska the sale of $26,-
uuu,UUU worth of war savings stamps,
which means about $20 per person in
the state. The organization to sell
the stamps in Nebraska is under the
direction of Ward Burgess, who has
the title of state director. Assisting
him is an executive committee com
posed of O. T. Eastmafc, C. E. Duffie

ALLEYS LAW
Washington, Dec. 2, Under the
new draft rules and regulations ef
fective December 15, men convicted of
failing to register on last June 5, will
be dealt with more harshly than under
the old system. Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowcler announced today that
such men, instead of being given jail
sentences, as has been done in many
cases heretofore, will be so listed by
local boards as to insure their call
with the first increment summoned
after the new rules are put in force.
Local boards are directed not to
send the registration cards of the con
victed men to the state adjutant gen
eral for serial number assignment, but
to place them at the top of the first
class liable for call. Thus the men,
it was pointed out, will forfeit all
chances of the master list rotation,
except in cases where physical con
dition or the terms of the law re
quire exemption or deferred classifi
cation. Men now utyder suspended sentence
for failing to register also will be
listed at the top of the first class, it
was announced.

dyes. We were busy raising: 3-year-old
steers and building 8ky-scrapers.
We had no time to poke around with
dye stuffs. Big nations spend their
time doing big things. Small cali
bre nations spend their time itirring
up dyes."
And so, as we have learned that
American people can make dves if
they must, so we have learned that we
can make toys if we must. Albert
O. Jensen has opened a toy factory
on Leavenworth street, and is al
ready getting more orders than he
can supply. Of course the toys he
makes are no mere dolls. They are
practical toys such as delight the
heart of an active 'American child.
They are what he calls the "Su
perior Kid Coaster." He has been
turning the coasters out at the rate
of 75 a day for some weeks, and
still he cannot .keep up with his or
ders. Mr. Jensen is now looking- for
a new location with more room for
his business to expand. He says he
believe he has sure enough "started
something."

PACKERS KICK
ON CUT PROFITS;
HOOVER IS FIRM
Washington, Dec. 2. A vigorous
protest yesterday by Chicago packers
failed to shake the food administra
tion's decision to enforce regulations
which will cut packing profits to 9
per cent. The packers' objections
were presented to Food Administrator
Hoover by repres",tives of the five
great packing houses.
The decision t.mt earnings shall
not exceed 9 per cent maximum profit
was reached, the packers were told,
after a careful investigation of pre
war profits and after consideration
was given to the entire situation. Pre
war profits, the investigation dis
closed, were slightly less than 9 per
cent. Any profit higher than that, Mr.
Hoover declared, would force pro
ducers and consumers of the country
to pay for plant expansion and would
raise a serious question of public
policy and the rights of the public in
expansion of the sort.
Any regulations imposed by the
government, the packers said, would
be observed, but any responsibility for
future shortage in production would
fall to the food administration.
