Can we who ¿tayed at home carelessly and thought lessly assume the “war is over” attitude until our bal ance of account is paid—until w e have redeemed our pledge_ to bear the final cost no matter what its amount ?

MEN and WOMEN of OREGON! UP The imprint of fame upon the name of our fair state will turn to a stain of shame if we do not meet the obligation this Victory Loan represents. You are face to face with the real te^t of citizenship—true Americanism. Let this te& find you measuring up one hundred per cent loyal. The Parent Bond of Them A ll The government bond is the Parent bond o f all bonds. Back of the gov ernment bond are all the assets and ail the resources that supply the value of all other bonds, all other securities, all other investments. The government bond is a prior lien on lands, homes, chattels and eveiy- thing else, and the bonds to be issued under the name of the Victory Lib erty Loan are the highest o f the high in government bonds. They constitute a contract o f the United States government entered into by unanimous vote o f congress, and therefore a contract and mortgage behind which stands the possessions o f One Hundred and Ten Million American people with their entire resources developed and undeveloped; the intelligence, ambition and ability o f these One Hundred and Ten Million people mortgaged to pay the bill. ' The Victory Liberty Loan Bonds will bear an attractive rate o f interest and, together with all other desirable elements, when compared with other investments as to strength, collateral and return, have no equal. U This is one o f 176 advertisements inserted simultan eously in every newspaper in the State of O regon on behalf of the sue ess of the Victory Liberty Loan— for we believe in this cause and are willing to contribute to the full extent of our pow er. mu MORRIS BROS., Inc. m JOHN L.

Mary'a career, nn It la related In »he Sunxet Magazine. in one unique In tit« world o f buxlncxs and philanthropy. In 1810 Mary Anttnarlok, half Itun- alan, half Eskimo, wax a round-face'), hrlght-eyed, «I ekhnlrcd young woman, pretty— we have her own Innocently frnnk word for it— and a hrtde. The government had Juxt decided to Irn- |*>rt reindeer from Siberia to Alaska and had xent l.ieufenant Berthoif, In (he reverme cutter Bear, to negotiate* ihe purchaxe. He needed an irc.ep- preter, »pen king both Russian and Eskimo, and Mary wax engaged.

These an'mnlx were the origin o f a herd that flourished and increased amazingly, and became. Indeed, «ov era I herd«.

It would probably become a «tapie food throughout the ccratnr. Mary 1« a rich woman, hut she .’ ’vex «Im ply In a cluster o f cabins, perched upon n r-ieky promontory thrusting seaward, fringe,! with ever-beating surf. It Is common knowledge throughout Alaxka the* no one was ever refused food and bulging at Mary** cabin; It I* also known that, although open-handed and free, «he lx a shrewd bargainer and tuwsexse« remarkable commercial xagoeli-T.

Toward the hungry, the helpless and Utile children her tenderness Is un failing nnd her bounty lavish. .She hn« no children o f lier own, hilt she has adopted a numerous fam ily— not a.pretty bnhv or tyyo. enrefnlly select ed fo r health and charm and promise, but «itch forlorn, abandoned nnd neg lected waifs and strays as came un der her notice In n remote nnd law less zone.

She gives them all a mother’« care In so fo r ns she la encable, e d u c a t e s them after a fasjilom nrd when they d rift out o f the horn« eddy Into the greater life current, she sees the boot well provisioned. One deed o f generosity will never be forgotten In Alaska. In 1SÍV8. only five years after the founding o f her herd o f reindeer, word came that more than four hundred whalers had bepn caught In the Ice packs o f Point Barrow and were slowly freezing and starving. They were five hundred miles awnv from Mary Anflsarlok’s snow- covered eahln : they were many m or« miles distant— eod m'les o f the north ern wilderness. Icy. rocky, «form-swept and ferrlhte— from sources o f civilized eupplv. Quite simply and ss a matter o f course. Mnrr. reserving only a few head for domestic necessity, started her whole herd o f reindeer northward to the rescue. She received no per sonal appeal, asked no advice, awaited no Instmot'ons. made neither bargain nor cTort to protect her Intereata. 8ha saw her chance for first aid. and gave It, Instantly and wholeheartedly. Eater, the government replaced the sacrifleed deer with Interest and gave her the thanks she deserved. But alnce that dsv It Is for more than her busi ness ability th "f tbe reindeer qneeo Is respected throughout Alaska.— Voufh’s Companion. Railroad Supersedes Can,#!.
