is up to you to do it; there is some-
thing for everyone to do. There '
must be fighting men, selected and

Increased numbers in every line of
industry which will contribute to the
success ot our undertaking. There
must be ready money in large quan
tities, and to this end the Liberty
loan bonds must be sold. So it be
comes your duty and business to in-
vest in these bonds. You are ex
pected to make a sacrifice, If need
be, to help raise this money. The
money you pay is not to be given to
anybody. It is not to be sent to u-

ly for things we ourse'lves make, sell
or grow. For instance. Suppose the
shipyard in St. Helens secured a con
tract for building several vessels for j .
the government. More men would be
employed, the wages would be dis
tributed here. The timber would be
cut from the forests of the country
and sawed by local sawmills. Right
here, a greater part of your Liberty
bond money would come directly
back to you. This applies as well to
thousands of other communities en
gaged in the manufacture of neces
sary articles for the government use.
As one of the leading journals of the
country has expressed it, "We are
making history now such as has never
been known. We are making the
world a safe place for democracy,
and every man should leave to his
posterity the heritage of bavin? !
played a part, and dona his full duty'
In this drama ot ages. The task is
great, but the result is certain. To
have had a part in this grand re
birth of the race will be a glorious
heritage to leave to our children."
One way to have a part is to buy
a Liberty bond. Pay for It cash if
you can, but if you cannot do- this,
buy it now and work to pay for it.
Find your place, the place where
your services wll be most useful to
the government, and when you have
found it, fill it. It's up to you.
A glance at the election returns
will convince the most skeptical that
Columbia county did her bit towards
the initial work of "pulling Oregon
out of the mud." Only a few pre
cincts give the road bonds an ad
verse vote, and those few, when they
see the great development ot the
county which is sure to come after
the good roads are built, will be con
vinced of the error of their ways.
The penitentiary measure did not
fare well at the hands of the Col
umbia, county voters. As one man
expressed himself Just before going
to the polls, "What's the use to build
a new penitentiary if the governor
is going to turn convicted murderers
out as trusties." Evidently this voter
wag not alone in his sentiment.
Billy Sunday said if hell ccuid be
turned upside down, the familiar
"Mado in Germany" would be found
stamped on the bottom. Wo don't
know whether that certain spot can
be turned up or not, but from all re
ports it has been raised during the
past two years.
It's time for St. Helens to organize
a division of the Red Cross. It is a
noble work and St. Helens cannot
afford to be non-partlclpants.
Good morning. How is the garden
work coming along? Time to plant
yet, but don't postpone the planting
too long.
Your Liberty bond la an evidence
that you are willing to do your bit. I

that right honestly, too. But at the
