NUMBER 52 "Make it Unanimous'; These three little words have a meaning, which is being told to everybody in Oregon by able speakers and men in whom the public has tho utmost confi dence. There has been a time when tho people of Oregon were culled on to support the United States, nnd the world'knows the record or Uregon fn the past few year. Everybody supported the ....II ....II. ..!! ..I f I . . t.iu viiu u ajjint which was sec ond to noro. This spirit was ex ercised alii over tho country, and it could not bo broken by our enemies. This wonderful spirit carried our flag to vie tory and we are to day one of the proudest nations of the earth. Tho spirit shown by the people of the United States during tho VVorld'rt War was "unani. iinua." Many of our young nun gave up thoir lives in this war; many have came back crip pl jd, but when these brave he roes left the front, the spirit of success was uppermost in thoir minus, una tneir prayers wero lor success and to keep them unharmed so they might see thiir loved ones again. This spirit wai i nst illccf in them by ihu millions or men and women in th i.4 country. Is it possible for anyone to think that this spirit, would have existed if it wero not for the unanimous support shown ny tno people of tho United States. This shows us what can be done by cooopura tion and having but one object in view. At the present time the people of Oregon are about to be calllcd on again, linn time i is not war where .our boys wil no caiieu on to ngnt the enemy with cannon, guns, sabers, etc., mit it is tno time when every body is called upon to do then "little bit" towards showing to tho world this good old state o Oregon, and its wonderful ro- Hnurces. etc. It is the time when a fow dollars given by each and overy tax payer will bring a Bum large enough to stage this great exposition in 1025. By every one throwing thoir shoul der to tho wheel, it means that tho world will know that the nconlc of Oregon have a unani mous spirit inviting tho people of tho univorso to como to Ore gon in 1025, bcauso there is ro greater way other than by tnxation in whielr'wo catr ' show tl is unanimous spirit. Every body should go to the voting booth on November loth. 1021. with tho same spirit that was in every American "tniciay" to go over tho top." Let every ono in Oregon vote for tho Iair and "inako it unanimous." It means that thero will be a great deal of employment; it means that at least $50,000,000 will bo spent in Oregon by foreign countries; it means that industries which aro sadly lacking in Oregon will be established, thereby increasing pay roup, nnd it meaf.s moro ships will come nnd go from all parts ofthe earth; it means that Oregon will bo talked about by people all over tho world. They will hear about tho waterways, roads, scenery, etc., and also tho wonderful opportunities for in vestment of various kinds. At this time there are 27 large steamers in tho harbor and 47 are due by November 25th. These boats carrycargoos from Portland to all parts of tho world, valued at millions of dollars. One vessel was recently loaded with 75,248 boxes of appleaand a largd quan tity of canned goods. All wero marked as halving been grown and packed in Oregon. Another vessel was loaded with bulk wheat, through spouts, at the. rate of 20,000 bushels porl hour. Such events are being talked about in the shipping circles and aro the cause of more, ships coming in the future. The peo ple of foreign countries are be ginning to see the advantages of Portland over other coast ports. Why not the people of Portland and Oregon, especially the peo ple of the Peninsula? The 1925 Fair is a medium of advertising, and it is a proven fact that it pays to advertise. We should make Portland the busiest port on the west coast. More" ships moan more employment, more people, more money and less taxation. If we are going to progress, make it unanimous. Portland at this time has less idle men than a great many other cities, and our city and county commissioner are making prop- Banks Combine Business St. Johns Community Club On Tuesday tho business of Print n f flnm rr a von nnA U n Pnn. insula National Banks were Club at the cafeteria at the St. Johns oombined,, the business of the Terminal Tuesday evening was n formebeing transferred to the) largely attended and highly enjoy latter institution.

A delightful feature of the even ing was several Swiss musical numbers played by Adolph Wid titer upon nn nccortleoii. Mr. Wright, manager of the L,og Cabin bakery, made n few neat remarks. A letter from the Fraternal Boosters, and which nppcars clswlicrc in this is sue, was read nnd accepted.

Hie straight forward manner the oppor- rftinre oiciers oi the 1'etihisuia National Bank therefore fell that they were not justified liiconlin uing thu business any longer, the Peninsula National Bank of Portland being amply capital ized and havinir sufficient fncil ities totakecareof the combined business.

In 1915, with tho consolidation of St. Johns with tho City of Portland. tho charter was changed from 'Peninsula National Bank of St. Johns'.' to "Peninsula Na- tionalBnnk of Portland."
