The certificate is not, transferable and has no value unless one or more war savings cer- tineate stamps is affixed thereto. The name, and address of the owner shall be placed on each War -savings cer ficate byt the postmastér at the time it is_issued. ‘War savings certificate stamps shall be sold at the prices and under the terms and condition shown on the war savings certificate, i. e, during December, 1917, and January, 1918, the price shall be $4.12 each and shail be increaced one cent each month there- after during the calendar year 1918, War savings certificates may be reg- istered at any post second or third class, Unless registered the U. ment the lawful owmer.
