II Saturday Is Bargain Day
There is one feature of financing a war that is but
little thought of, and that is a country's ability to finance
it is measured by its ability to produce. To illustrate:
Germany has spent for war purposes probably about
$18,000,000,000. This equals all the gold in existence.
Yet Germany has not sent her gold abroad, but has kept
it at fyome and used it over and over again. To do this
it was necessary that the German people produce the
things that money was spent for. This shows that Ger
many, besides the profits that have been made in business
outside of strictly war costs, has been able to produce
material for war use at the rate of about $6,000,000,000
a year. Put in another way she has produced at the rate
of about $90 a year for each person within her borders.
In her case some allowance should be made for the im
mense war chest she had accumulated and the vast sup-
nlv of munitions she had on hand. These would represent
Tiorhnns thl'Pfi billions.
The United States will during the first year of her
participation in the war spend in the neighborhood ot ten
billion dollars. This is at the rate of $100 per capita. A
billion of this has been loaned the allies and other billions
will be so loaned, if necessary, which is practically cer
tain. None of this money however goes out of the coun
try, but will practically all of it be spent for products of
some kind grown or made in the United States. Clothing
food and war munitions will comprise the bulk of such
materials, and this means that during the year the people
of this country will have to grow or make something that
will require all this money to purchase. In other words
this country must produce something worth ten billion
dollars within the year.. If it does not so produce them
then the money cannot be spent. That it will produce
them, and much more if necessary, goes without saying;
for whatever is needed will be made. This applies even
to foodstuff s, for if there is a shortage this year there will
be arrangements made for next .year that will greatly in
crease the acreage.
On ton of this it is easily seen there should be great
prosperity while the war lasts, for it will employ every
person at high wages, and will make a market for every
product at high prices.
The money first raised by bonds will soon flow back
into the channels of trade, stirring all business as it does
so, and will be again available lor anotnei; oonu issue.
Thic will wi,r wer and over aeain while the war lasts.
Out of this increased prosperity taxes will gather a larger
part than usual. By taxes, we mean ail means Dywn.cn
the general government raises money. Incomes, inheri
tance and such, along with tariff, and internal revenue
taxes will all contribute, and pay a large part of the war s
cost as we go, instead of leaving it all for ourselves and
posterity to pay later.
Another feature of the war is that there will be un
precedented demand on this country for her products of
field and factory for several years after the war at least,
for it will take vast sums and a long time to rehabilitate
the countries devastated by war. So in buying bonds and
making the government your debtor you are putting
your money out at interest and will at the same time
have it returned to you through the channels of trade.
Oregon has benefited but little heretofore from the war,
has in fact been hurt by it instead: but a new deal is on,
and she too will tret some of the benefits of increased
business. For one. thing it is proposed to spend half a
billion dollars for airships. The lumber for these will
come from the forests of this state, for it is pronounced
the best there is for the purpose. The building of wooden
ships will bring countless other millions to the northwest
and Oregon instead of Maine will be the great wooden
ship-building state. .These are but two of the many
things that will turn a stream of gold to Oregon.
More than two days before the time limit expired for
subscribing her quota for the liberty loan, Oregon had
put up the money and more, and was still at it. Her allot
ment was $8,500,000, and she had subscribed $700,000
more than that sum up to Tuesday night, and today has
passed her allotment by two million doilai-s. Considering

BLOOD AND MONEY
Some men for carnage loudly holler, but
when they're taxed an extra dollar, to see
the nation through, they straightway hold
an angry session, and talk of tyrants and
oppression, until the air is blue. The gov
ernment they were berating because it
stuck to watchful waiting, when they were
hot for war. "Why doesn't Wilson go a
gunning," they asked, "and set the kaiser
funning? What is he waiting for? For
battle we are simply spoiling, the blood in
our blue veins is boiling, we blush with
deepest shame, because our country fiddle-
faddles, and hesitates and stalls and strad
dles, while others Dlav the Fame. Now we've set out tn
get the kaiser, that noxious little early riser, and getting
him takes mon; if we would put the Germans under, the
country needs all kinds of plunder, to buy a . club and gun.
uur coin we should be gladly digging, to buy the neces
sary rigging, and most of us are glad; but some who used
to wnoop and holler, when called upon to cough a dollar,
look mighty glum and sad. Oh, when the days of strife
are over, and once again we are in clover, we won t forget
these gents, who wished in crimson blood to wallow, but
looked disgusted, wan and hollow, when asked for fifty
cents.

if .You Suffer From Catarrh
don't make the fatal mistake of re
garding it as a trifling matter. Au
thorities agree that Catarrh is an in
fection of the blood. Consequently,
sprays, salves and lotions can af
ford only temporary relief, because
they do not reach the source of the
disease, the blood. When you depend
on theso temporary remedies alone
your case is likely to grow steadily
worse until it becomes chronic and
possibly affects the lungs.
But even if the infection does not
ffoethis far. the continuous dripping
f mucous in the throat, the constant
spitting and hawking and evil odor
of the breath will not only causa
misery to you, but will mate your
presence obnoxious to others. S. S. S.
which has been the standard blood
medicine for fifty years, will relieve
your catarrh, because it will purify
your blood and relieve it of the ac
cumulated poisons. S. S. S. contains
no mineral or habit-forming drugs.
S. S. S. is on sale at all druggists and
the advice of our medical department
is at your disposal, free of charge.
