But two months re main for the disposal of the work, and as a result the people of Ore gon will be urged to "buy now to the limit.” The campaign being waged to dis pose of these Government securities has two Istlnct angles. The Elks assumed the responsibility for the success of the campaign, first to re tain Oregon’s place as a state which has always answered the requests for financial assistance made by the Government, and. second, because in the sale of these securities Is recog nized an opportunity to preach the lesson of thrift which has been to soma degree lost sight of during the last few months.
