PRESIDENT EBERT !FW ! Vh 1X1 1. lit n MMmo mm..uMjf V1CTORT LIBKRTT LOAX Victory over Germany is won, but net all tbe bills are paid nor did the expense of war end with the armis tio? by any means. The last bills for !' kinds of war material must be p.. d; the army of occupation must be maintained in Germany; the great army must be maintained and paid in this country and in France until it can be demobilized, and it must then be paid the bonus of J 60 a head and brought home; the difference be tween the market and guaranteed price for wheat must be paid and a large part of Europe must be fed, that famine may not lead to anarchy. All of these things are necessary parts of the work of pacifying .the world which the United States Un dertook when we declared war on Germany and Austria. The job won't be finished until those countries have accepted the terms dictated at Paris, ntil their people have enough food to save them from starvation and an archy, and are at work. Many of these people are our enemies, but many are our friends whom we have set free. Humanity dictates that we ' should feed them out of our abun dance. The most cold-blooded policy points the same way. tor if we do not feed them, we shall have to fight them, and they will be of more use to the world alive than dead. To meet these obligations of honor, humanity and policy the government will call on the people for subscrip tions to the Victory loan from April 21 to May 10. The exact form and amount of the loan have not been fixed, but it will probably be J6.000, 000,000 in notes running ten years and paying Interest at the rate of from 4 1- to 5 per cent. If that am ount should be right, Oregon's quota will be about 130,000.000 and Port land's quota from $17,000,000 to $18,000,000 approximately the same as for the fourth Liberty loan. This is an opportunity for Oregon and Crook county to put the finish ing touch on the splqudld record it made throughout the war, and which spread its fame as the Volunteer State across the continent. Not only loy alty to the state, loyalty to the nation and duty to humanity call upon us to respond, even till It hurts, but the notes will be a good investment, for they will be accepted at the banks as collateral for loans up to a high per centage of their market price, and the high rate of interest will make them salable at or near their face value. To subscribe for the Victory loan is to be a good American and a good Oregonian, to be a practical worker for peace and humanity, and to do a good stroke of business, all at the same time. WHEX TOCR CAR GETS STTCK IX THE Ml'D A resourceful motorist whose car has been stuck in the mud does not have to fall back on a pair of mules to get free. For such an tmergenc) the United States Tire Company of fers some suggestions that have prov ed valuable. The first calls for having stored away somewhere In the car a stack of old newspapers. When the car gets stuck and the wheels refuse to take hold, feed In some of the old papers between the tires and the mud. Us ually only a tew will have to be work ed in before the wheels will begin to grip and the car start forward. Th It method of handling a difficult alt lation Is so simple and is so untformI successful that every motorist should know of it and carry a pile of old newspapers, unless he is equipped with some other apparatus for such s contingency. Here is another method: Put tht car In low, and If you cannot feed the gas with your foot evenly, so that the wheels will revolve slowly, put your emergency brake on. Do not put It on so that the wheels will not revolve at all. but tightly enough to keep them from revolving rapidly. With the wheels turning slowly, the max imum pull Is delivered to them by having the car In low gear, and so long as they turn slowly they can get the benefit of the tremendous pow er. It Is not always wise to fill the hole with stones or bricks, for their edges are hard on tires. Small branches of trees are better, as they offer much better tractive, space. Should this method fail, quite often a slight push that would not much more thna move a baby buggy will furnish just the added amount of power necessary to get the car going. w. a. a.
