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.
