2ND LIBERTY LOAN BOND
CAN BE HAD OCTOBER 1ST
—
The second Liberty Loan Bonds will
be available October 1, 1!>17, to which
all who did not subscribe for any of
the first series of bonds will be asked
to do so ut this time. Every patriotic
citizen should not fail to do his or her
part, and subscribe for as many as you
are financially able to take. Amer
ica’s object, and the forms in which
bonds are issued, when and to whom
payable, as well as instructions to
holders of coupons or bearer bonds are
as follows:
America’s Object
‘‘The object of this war is to deliver
the free peoples of the world from the
menace and the actual power of a vast
military establishment controlled by
an irresponsible government, which
having secretly planned to dominate
the world, proceeded to carry the plan
out without regard either to the sa
cred obligations of treaty or the long
established practices and long-cherish
ed principles of international action
and honor; which chose its own time
for the war; delivered its blow fierce
ly and suddenly; stopped at no bar- i
Her either of law or of mercy; swept
a whole continent within the tide of
blood—not the blood of soldiers only,
hut the blood of innocent women and j
children also and of the helpless poor; j
and now stands balked but not de-j
t’eated, the enemy of four-fifths ofj
the world.”—From President Wilson’s
Reply to the Pope.
Fnitod States Bonds
The United States Government is
sues bom Is in two forms:
(1) Bearer bonds with interest
coupons attached, commonly called
coupon bonds; (2) bonds registered
both as to principal and interest. Lib
erty Loan bonds are issued in both
bearer and coupon forms.
Bearer or Coupon Bond*
A bearer or coupon bond is payable
to the bearer, the holder, the title
passing by delivery. The Treasury
Department does not require proof of
ownership when such bonds are pre
sented for payment, or exchange, the
holder thereof being recognized. Such
bonds may be bought and sold with
out formali^v and without indorse
ments of any kind. Attached to bearer
bonds are sheets of coupons or certifi
cate*; of interest. One of these cou
pons becomes due each interest pay
ment date and should be detached by
the owner of the bond and cashed at
his bank or presented to a Treasury
office for payment.
Registered Bonds
A register* <1 bond is payable only
to its owner or his order, and can he
transferred only by being properly in
dorsed and assigned by the owner. The
bond has inscribed on the face of it
the name of the owner or payee, and
such fact is recorded on the books of
the Treasury Department against the
particular bond indicated. The change
in ownership of a registered bond is
effected bv the original payee indors
ing and assigning the bond, using thu
form on the back thereof in accord
ance with the regulations of the Treas

ury department Such assignment
must be made before an officer desig
nated by the Treasury Department,
and such officer must certify thereto
and affix his official seal. The officers
who are authorized to witness assign
ments are indicated in a note printed
on the back of the bond. Generally
speaking certain judicial and Treasury
officers and executive officers of Feder
al Reserve and National banks are au
thorized to witness assignments.
When the owner of a registered
bond disposes of it and has properly
assigned it, it should be forwarded at
once to the Secretary of the Treas
ury for transfer on the books of the
department. The bond so forwarded is
canceled and a new bond in the name!
of the new owner is issued and sent
to the new owner by registered mail.
The interest on registered bonds
is paid by means of checks drawn by
the Secretary of the Treasury on the
Treasury of the United States, such
checks being issued on the day inter
est is due. They are sent by mail to
the owners of the bonds.
TIPS PART i
. OF WAGES
In deciding that tips are part of
an employe’s wages, the Appellate
Division of the New York Supreme
Court has given formal recognition to
the fact, long known to the public,
that most tips are accepted with the
full knowledge of the employer and,
are taken into account by him in fix-'
ing payment for services. The sys
tem will never be abo ished until the
public takes the proprietor into ac
count. We shall not be able to get^
together enough men of one mind at
one time to deprive the porter, or1
waiter, or barber of what he regards
with a certain amount of reason as
his just due.
The court goes on to say that the
present custom has little to do with
the willingness of the guest at a hotel
or the passenger on a sleeper to
recompense a pleasing manner or an
extra service. The employe, “with the
knowledge and consent of the em
ployer, furnish a service which com
pels the payment of a tip, and if the
tip is not paid, the service is so grudg
ingly and unsatisfactorily given that
the person is willing to pay it next
time.” The ordinary tip is regarded
as a payment of money actually due.
The issue was raised on appeal un
der the industrial compensation law.
The New York anti-tipping act has
been held to have reference only to

The Mother Lode mine near McCar

worth of ore this year. At present the
company is installing a steam electric
plant at the mouth of McCarthy
creek, and is building an auto truck
road up the creek, a distance of four
teen miles to the lower terminal of
the tramway. It is also building a
250-ton mill. The present production!

tips acecpted without the knowledge
of the employer. It does not, there
fore, reach what we commonly mean
by the “tip,” at all, but has to do
only with dishonest stewards who ac
cept bribes for accepting inferior
goods or for assenting to excessive
prices. In the case decided, a taxicab
driver, who was killed on duty, had a
salary of $12 a week, and award was
made on the basis of $17.10 a week,
indicating taht his tips averaged $5.10
a week. The award is upheld.
So construed, the tip appears to be
more than ever a form of extortion.
Formerly paid to reward special serv
ice, it has become merely an added
charge for the purchased commodity,:
which the seller has not seen fit to
include in his price schedule. Once
the tipper had the pleasure at least
of seeing a smile flit over the face
of the recipient of the largess; now
none but the old-timers even murmur ]
“Kyou” when they pocket the change.
Why should they? One does not feel
called on to give special thanks when
he lines up at the pay window to re
ceive the money he has worked for,
and the public has only taken over
part of the job of paymaster. .
There may be a way to abolish tip
ping, but the New York decision does
not bring it any nearer. It is easy
