BRANCHES III AU THE PRINCIPAL CITIES
THIS IS THE "MOTHER'S LOAN"
He is a member of the British
Commission to this country, and he
was commenting on the achieve
ments of America in France.
"When the full story is told, it
will be one of the most inspiring
records of history," he said. "No
one who has not been there can im
agine It. The port where your
troops land has been transformed as
if by a miracle. Great piers stretch
out into the harbor; lines of rail
road, laid with American rails by
American engineers and traveled by
American locomotives, stretch away
toward the battle lines. " Huge store
houses cover the adjoining acres for
miles. It tell you, it is marvelous
what you have accomplished!"
And then he added, in after
thought: "You are pouring out money as if
it didn't cost anything."
Pouring out money as if it didn't
cost anything that is our record in
the war, thus far. Our first year
cost us billions more than the first
year of any other nation. And now
we are asked to raise in three weeks
the largest loan ever subscribed by
the people of any nation. '
We are running this war in the
most extravagant fashion; and there
is not a man, woman or child in
America who wants it conducted in
any other way. Why? Because we
'value speed more than money: and
speed is always' extravagant.
Speed means more guns brought
more auickly into play, and more
ammunition to feed them. Speed
means ships built at high cost be
cause of overtime wages; it means
airplane plans discarded as fast as
new improvements come along. It
means all thia and we bear the cost
of it gladly, without regret. For
Speed means a quicker, surer Vic
tory, and our boys earlier home
again.
"I beat the Austriana because they
did not know the value of five min
utes," said Napoleon. His rule for
victory was to be on the ground first
with the most guns. "I owe all my
success in life to having been a quar
ter of an. hour before my time," Lord
Nelson once remarked. His victor
ies, too, were victories of speed.
The cry of every American woman
to her government today should be
"Spend money faster!" Every ounce
of her thought and energy during the
three weeks dedicated to the fourth
Liberty Loan should be employed in
arousing in her own household and
the households of her neighbors an
eagerness to lend every possible pen
ny, and to lend it quickly.
Thus the fourth Liberty Loan may
become a message of far-flung en
couragement to our boys across the
seas; a message of unpleasant aug
ury to their foes. For every bulle
tin of the mounting millions will cry
out in tones unmistakable:
"We are raising a greater fund
than men and women have ever rais
ed. We are raising it in three
weeks, when smaller loans have tak
en four. Money is nothing to us
we sacrifice it gladly for the sake of
speed. For the sake of a quicker
victory, and the return of our boys
to their homes."
In the spirit of that message let
us face the greatest loan in history:
a loan too large to be subscribed by
banks and business houses so large
that it must come out of the little
economies of women. A Mother's
Loan a cry from the heart of Amer
ican womanhood for Speed. Woman's
Home Companion.
FRANCE AND NORWAY
TO PLANT DOUGLAS FIR
Tree seed from the North Pacific
district may play an important part
in restocking the forests of France
and other European countries, ac
cording to District Forester George
H. Cecil, Portlanl, who has recently
received requests for seed of native
Northwest trees for use inFrance
and Norway. .
The French stovernment has asked
for two hundred pounds of DouglasJ-Board of Health,
fir seed for immediate use, and also
asked quotations on the seed of this
species in thousand-pound lots. Doug'
las fir has already been introduced
in France, with very promising re
suits.
The district forester is also in re
ceipt of a request from the Bergren
experiment station, Norway, for
small quantities of seed from Doug
las fir, noble fir, lowland white fir,
silver hr, white hr, western red ce
dar, and western larch' for expert
mental use in Norway.
The seed collecting is now in pro
gress at Indian Kace Track ranger
station, on the Columbia National for
est, where Ranger R. L. Cline and a
small crew are taking advantage of
the unusually good seed crop and
gathering cones of Douglas fir, noble
fir, silver fir, and western white pine
for use at the Wind River nursery
and experiment station, near Carson,
Washington. About thee hundred
pounds of seed are needed annually
for this purpose. Enough additional
seed will be collected to supply the
amounts requested by the Bergren
experiment station. The French for
esters have been referred to com
mercial tree-seed collectors for the
Douglas fir seed needed for their re
forestation work. It takes 35,000
Douglas fir seeds to make a pound,
according to Mr. Cecil; so it will be
readily seen that a few thousand
pounds of the seed will reforest . a
large area, plant 700 trees to the
acre, which is the spacing used in
the nationas forests in the United
States.
Douglas fir grows over, a wide
range of the western United States
and British Columbia, reaching its
best proportions in western Oregon
and Washington. It is common in
the Rocky Mountains as well as in
the Cascade and Coast ranges, and
has been noted as far south as north
western Texas. It may be destined
to become the chief all-purpose wood
of Europe as well as of the Pacific
Northwest.

TUBERCULOSIS PROBLEM
IN OREGON A BIG ONE
Oregon has a big tuberculosis
problem. The names and addresses
of 133 Oregon soldiers who have been
rejected because of tuberculosis have
been sent by the Surgeon General to
the Oregon Association for the Pre
vention of Tuberculosis and the men
have been returned to their home
state. The government claims no re
sponsibility in the care of these men,
the inference being that since they
have been in the service less than
three months they probably had the
disease in a latent form before enter
ing a cantonment. The question of
how to care for these men will be
discussed at the Northwestern Tuber
culosis Conference to -be held in Spo
kane September 27 and 28. The dis
trict jncludes Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Montana and
