So These Soles Save
You Shoe Money
"I have been wearing my shoes with
Neolin Soles nearly a year, and they
are apparently in as good condition as
whenlbought them." written August,
1918, by W.H. Cocke, Officer, A.E.F.,
France.
Only Neolin Soles could endure a test
like this. That they do so is because
of the tough durability built into them
by a scientific process. To cut your
shoe bills down, buy shoes with these
long-wearing soles. They come m
many styles for men, women, and
children.
Remember Neolin Soles are flexible
and waterproof, too, and are available
everywhere for re-soling. They are
made by The Goodyear Tire & Rub
ber Co., Akron, Ohio, who also make
Wingfoot Heels guaranteed to out

LODER FINES WEIVESICK
$25 FOR EXCEEDING LIMIT
Carl Wievesiek, arrested Friday
for exceeding the speed limit on
Main street, appeared before Judge
Loder Saturday afternoon and was
fined $25. Wievesiek remonstrated
with the judge, claiming that the fine
was out of all proportion, as he was
only going two miles over the limit.
The judge remarked that many per
sons were disregarding the driving
ordinances in the city, and that here
after he would impose heavier fines.
ASKS FOR DIVORCE; CLAIMS
CRUEL-INHUMAN TREATMENT
Suit for divorce was entered Satur

band. S. E. Miller, charging in the
complaint cruel and inhuman treat
ment. The couple was married in
Oregon City March 81, 1913, and have
two children, of which plaintiff asks
the- custody. She alleges in her com
plaint that her husband treated her
cooly and indifferently and that upon
several occasions she was forced to
leave him, later returning on the
promise of better treatment. She
asks the court to allow her $45 per
month for the support of the children.
A Wirfilv attended meeting of the
officers and board of directors of the

quirements of the different exhibits.
Thpsp matters ocebpied the board
Monday, who called into consultation
S. R. Hall, county agricultural agent,
tn nrlvise with them on the subject
of requirements and suggestions for
awards -on the crop entries. The corn,
potato and grain entries received
especial consideration, several im
portant changes being maae in inese
awamls. The growing of corn will be
furthered and fostered in every way
possible. Oregon is coming to the
front as a corn-growing state; and
the county fair awards will be made
with a view to bringing out' exhibits
of the best products that can be
raised in this county. Gresham Out

Juniors
Plans for
Junior Chamber of Commerce to in
clude in its membership students of
universities, colleges and high schools,
are being made by students in com
merce under Dean J. A. Bexell of the
Oregon Agricultural college. The
purpose is to encourage the develop
ment of the natural resources of Ore
gon and trade and intercourse be
tween different parts of the state.
This movement has the support of
the Oregon State Chamber of Com
merce, whose secretary, George
Quayle, believes it will be of great
benefit to the state.
Cattle Given to College
A herd of 26 registered Guernsey
cattle has been ' given to Oregon
through the state agricultural col
lege by W. B. Ayers, former federal
food administrator for Oregon. This
stock is worth from $7500 to $10,000,
It will balance up the four major
dairy breeds at the College, where
Jerseys, Holsteins and Ayershires
outnumbered the Guernseys. Fifteen
cows of each of these breeds will be
maintained at the Corvallis station.
Part of the .new Guernseys will be
sent to Astoria to assist farmers
establishing the breed there.
Oregon men, called to the colors
during the greatest of all wars, were
physically the cleanest In the entire
United States Army.
Such is not the mere boast of any
citizen of this state, backed only by
a high sense of local pride, but it is
the established record of the United
States Army, communicated to the
Oregon Social Hygiene Society by
Rupert Blue, Surgeon-General, thus
giving it the greatest possible weight.
As will be seen by perusal of the
foregoing telegram from Surgeon-
General Blue, a tabulation of 1,000,000
of the first reports received from
camp surgeons places uregon in me
lead with a rate of fifty-nine hun
dredths of one per cent (which means
less than six men to the thousand),
compared with another wire from
him, this state's standing is but a
fraction lower than 18 times ahead of
the state with the highest per cent of
infection, wh'ch was eight and nine
tenths per cent (eighty-nine men to
the thousand).
This constitutes one of the grandest
and proudest records of the whole war
period and, great as has been this
state's part in all patriotic endeavors,
nothing could fill the hearts of its
people with' a higher degree of pride
than the official acknowledgment from
the National Capital that Oregon's
men stood far and away above all
others in clean manhood.
"That the work of the Oregon So
cial Hygiene Society, carried forward
for but seven years, should produce
such magnificent results, is a subject
of the most gratifying kind to the
entire Board," said Executive Secre
tary Cummins. "Every one of the
men who have worked so hard to
bring about the remit regard this of
ficial notification from the Surgeon-
General as a complete vindication of
the program sought to be carried for
ward in this state. That the public
will respond to sane, clear facts, right
ly presented, is also demonstrated
beyond doubt. Educators, who have
assisted greatly in the work, may well
feel that young men under their tute
lage will absorb the benefit to be de
rived from information along physio
logical lines, rightly administered.
Parents must now see plainly that
their children should hav the truth
a to their physical beings and that,
having this, untold good will result."
"Future "generations, following, are
bound to demonstrate the benefits of
Oregon's clean manhood, as set forth
officially," commented A. F. Flegel,
president of the Society. "This rec
ord cannot be overestimated. It is a
glorious achievement."
The full significance of the official
announcement from Dr. Blue is dir-
ficult to grasp," said Adolphe Wolfe,
treasurer of the Society. "Dealing as
It does with human life and morals, it
Is, in a larger sense, more important
than many other achievements, not to
detract one whit from any of them.
A.t the outset, many good people
doubted the ability of the Oregon So
cial Hygiene Society to accomplish
worth-while results. I think now,
however, no further comment need
be had. Surgeon-General Blue's tele
gram is sufficient'.'
Lieutenant-Colonel P. C. Fiold, di
vision surgeon of the 91st Division at
Camp Lewis, has officially credited
the splendid record made by Oregon
men to the educational work that has
been and is being done by the Oregon
Social Hygiene Society.

The reason this famous root ana herb
remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, was so successful in Miss
Kelly's case was because it went to the
root of her trouble, restored her to a
normal healthy condition and as a result
her nervousness disappeared.

TAMP SHARKS
FOILED BY NEW
POSTAL RULING
Postmasters Ordered Not to
Cash Brokered Savings
Certificates.
Speculators dealing in War Savings
Stamps are hit By the following orders
just Issued by Secretary of the Treas
ury Carter Glass and by the Office of
the Postmaster General.
The following is quoted from a no
tice Issued by the Secretary of the
Treasury:
"My attention has been directed to
numerous offers made by unscrupulous
persons through advertisements and in
other ways to buy war-savings certifi
cate stampB and, as a result of such of
fense, I am Informed that owners of
such securities have suffered material
losses which could have been avoided
by redemption of the war-savings cer
tificate stamps at post offices, as pro
vided by law.
"In order that the interests of
owners of war -savings certificate
stamps of either series may be
safeguarded, I hereby notify all per
sons to refrain from offers to buy war
savings stamps or accept the same in
trade."
Following is the order of A. M. Dock
ery, Third Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral: "In pursuance of the foregoing, post
masters are directed not to pay war
savings certificates on which the names
of the owners have not been entered
or have been erased or changed, since,
under the regulations, they are not
transferable and are payable only to
the original owners, except in case, of
death or disability.
"PostmaBters are further instructed
not to pay any war-savings certificates
presented by persons or firms known to
be buying, or publicly offering to buy,
war-savings stamps or certificates from
the owners, unless positive evidence is
submitted that the certificates were
originally Issued to the persons or
firms presenting them for payment
"When consulted by owners of war-
savings stamps In regard to offers to
purchase such stamps at less than cur
rent value postmasters should invite
their attention to the fact that war
savIngB certificates may be cashed at
money-order post offices after 10 days'
written notice, and that this is a privi
lege accorded by law. At the same
time it should be pointed out that the
need of the Government for the pro
ceeds of the war-savings stamp issue
is ereat. and the holders should be
urged to retain their 3tamps until ma
turity as a patriotic act nnless their
necessities are urgent"

Surplus Labor in 11 States
A surplus of laborers varying from
a few hundred to several thousand,
exists in the 11 western states, ac
cording to information reaching J.
W. Brewer, the O. A. C. and federal
farm help specialist for Oregon.
Copper companies have laid off about
14,000 men in three of these state,
and farming will absorb more of
these and other surplus labor than
any other single industry, if present
crop prospects are realized. Many
farmers are planning to do the
"catch up work" postponed for two
years.

AMERICA'S DEBT
SMALLER THAN
OTHER POWERS'
In the light of the following offi
cial figures, America's ability to
easily absorb the Victory Liberty
Loan cannot be questioned:
The entire Indebtedness of the
United States today is less than 7
per cent of the naUonal wealth, or
about $170 per capita.
Some of the national debts of
other great powers as compared to
national wealth are;
Great Britain 44.3 per cent
France 4L25 per cent
AcBtria 84.66 per cent
Germany 38.7 per cent
Germany's debt Ib really greater
ss the above figure is exclusive of
the ninth German war loan arid any
indemnities she may have to pay.
Japan is the only big nation with
a lower per capita debt In relation
to Its wealth than the United States.
There are no Liberty LoanB ahead
of you after the Victory Loan, so
mortgage your future for Victory
Bonds. Thousands of our soldiers and
sailors mortgaged their futures.
