WARNING AGAINST
BIG OIL SWINDLES
Federal prosecution of wild cat oil
promoters in New York is a fitting
climax to a campaign which the Sav
ings Division of the Treasury De
partment ha been wagfng for many
months, said Theodore Hardeey Di
rector of the Government Savings
Organization for the Twelfth Feder
al District, today.
Throughout the country the Sav
ings division organization of each
Federal Reserve District has spent
a deal of time- and effort In an at
tempt to warn the public against
losing the money they so patriotic
ally let the Government during the
war by trading In their Liberty Bond
for worthless stock.
Of course I have no Information
on the specific prosecution in the
Eust, said Hardee. Our fight in which
we have received the sympathetic
co-operation of tbe envissioned news
paper editors of the country haa
been to stem tbe sale of the ever
rising Tlood of worthless stocks and
securities, backed only by eloquent
promises.
We have no quarrel with legiti
mate industrial securities, but we
have a quarrel with not only wild
cat oil promoters but the promoters
of all wild cat schemes.
The Government Savings Organ
ization, which is a branch of the Sav
ings Division of the Treasury De
partment, has two objects to lay
btfore the people the faet that their
tiue interest lies in holding their
Liberty Bonds and investing their
savings in other Government Securi
ties such as War Savings Stamp and
Treasury Savings Certificates.
In my opinion, and I think it is
backed by the banking authorities
of the country, the exchange of the
vast quantities of Liberty Bonds for
worthless stocks at the behest of glib
tnngued salesmen has had much to
do with the decline of Liberty Bonds
prices. These Liberty Bonds have
been mulcted from the public by pro
moters of fake enterprises in ex
change for worthless securities and
have them be thrown on the market
in order that these unscrupulous
promoters might get their hands on
the cash as quickly as possible.
Many a man who has traded his
bonds for worthless stock is going
to rue It soon. "
The prosecutions in New York
ought to make the holder of Liberty
Bonds think twice before he lets go
of them or before he Invests hi sav
ings, x ,
My advice to every man and wo
man when he or she is asked to buy
any stock is to consult his or her
banker first.
VISITOR FROM LAKEVTEW
,J. G. Campbell of the Lake View
Examiner, was a caller at this of
fice last Saturday. Mr. Campbell is
out on a thirty day auto tour, and
Intends to visit all of the principal
cities and other points of interest as
far north as Seattle, returning over
the Coast route. He informed us that j
so far the trip had proven Just one
round of pleasure with the exception
of an encounter with a genuine sand
storm just before reaching Bend.
Mr. Campbell is accompanied by
his son and wife. It does one
good to meet up with one of the old
line printers and especially so with
one of Mr. Campbell's caliber. He
complimented Prineville on its new
camp ground, and only regretted that
its size prevented him from enjoying
its many conveniences.
Mr. Campbell says that although
the Prineville Camp Ground is one
of the best equipped in Central Ore
gon, it is proving incapable of
taking care of the Round-up and
Fourth of July crowd of campers.

The first organized attempt to use
aeroplanes In Oregon for the distrl-
i bution of mall will be lnaugerated
this week, beginning Saturday, July
rd, when a fleet of airplanes will
i leave Portland carrying huge bund-
lei of inhibitions to the merchants of 1
the. state to participate in Buyers
Week, August 9th, to 14 Inclusive.
The aviators of the Oregon, Wash
ington & Idaho Aeroplane Company
will fly to various cities in the state
with packages of mail for delivery
to the postmasters of the cities, who
vlll see to it that the letters ad
dressed to the merchants of their
section receive prompt delivery.
The plan is expected to be a thoro
test of the proposition which has
been advanced that a regular mail '
service from Portland to the cities
of the state be inaugerated under
government auspices. Already sev
eral Oregon cities have arranged to
prepare suitable landing fields for
the mail airplanes. The idea will be
enlarged upon from time to time, but
the present plan calls tor a service
from San Francisco, Sacramento and
ether California cities to the cities
of Southern Oregon and the Will
amette Valley to Portland, where the
mail will again be distributed for
Oregon coast points, Eastern and
Central Oregon and for the Puget
Sound region.
The use of Airplanes for the dis
tribution of the invitations to the
merchants of the state to participate
in. Buyers' Week, simply will be a
test of the general plan. Buyers'
Week, as conducted in Portland, la
now a nationally recognized - Insti
tution. The plan to concentrate the
buyers of the Pacific Coast in Port
land during the week of August 9.,.
14 was begun eight years ago. It has
proved to be an economical method
of buying for the merchants of the
Pacific Coast, and each year has
grown so that this year it is ex
pected that at least one hundred fif
ty two Portland jobbers and manu
facturers will act as hosts to their
guests. , ' i .
Buyers' Week is not entirely a
business affair, but where Merchants
and Jobbers meet on social grounds.
