HUH IN CUTTING
IE
"Many months of comfort at little
'expense" is the way Charles A. Pear
son of San Diego, California, sums up
his experience with Neolin Soles. Mr.
Pearson had two pairs of shoes re
soled with Neolin Soles, and after
wearing them for twenty month9
writes " I will have to get new shoes
sometime, but so far as the soles are
concerned, that time seems as far
distant as when they were new."
This is typical of the experience
millions are having with Neolin Soles.
Created by Science to be durable,
flexible and waterproof, these soles
are an important factor in cutting
shoe expense. You can get them on
new shoes for the whole family, and
for re-soling. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron,
Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels
guaranteed to outwear all other heels.

Some say cherry blossoms were
killed by frost last week. Not here,

Everybody wants to start a tie mill
as people are a good deal like sheep
when one jumps they all follow.
What is needed is a good shingle mill
as there is abundance of raw mater
ial going to wasto here and a good
demand for shingles.
We have the pleasing prospect of
at last "beating our swords into
ploughshares and our spears into
pruning hooks" by way of the Leag
ue of Nations, and what a dark and
dreadful time in all the history of the
past, we have passed through kill
ing and murdering each other, and
professing all the time to be follow
ers of the meek and lowly Jesus, the
Prince of Peace.
Anne Morgan, daughter of the late
P. Morgan, refused to let the Ger
man delegates, Who are soon going to
siirn up the peace terms, into her
house at Versailles, France. She said
she would consider it a disgrace that
all time could not efface. Pretty
spunky, all right , but what true
American can blame her after those
madmen started an awful war and
practiced unheard-of brutalities.
The mills have all started up again
and everybody is at work at good
wages. There is a demand for rail
road ties all over the world and there
is no reason in the world why these
small mills should not have their
share of the business.
Dr. Botkins had two grandsons in
the Great War. One of them became
lieutenant and he says that the

bovs to his positive knowledge.
A 20-pound steelhead was caugnt

put up a royal fight for their lives.

SIXTY THOUSAND OF OUR

lie among the poppies of Flanders' Fields in
France. To them only is the war over. They
have paid the price in full. To countless other thous
ands of these boys returning home maimed and
broken the war will still go on; they will be paying the
price every day, during the remainder of their lives.
Can we who stayed at home carelessly and thought
lessly assume the "war is over" attitude until our bal

pledge to bear the final cost no matter what its amount?

The Parent Bond of Them All
The government bond is the Parent bond of all bonds. Back of the gov
ernment bond are all the assets and all the resources that supply the value
of all other bonds, all other securities, all other investments..
The government bond is a prior lien on lands, homes, chattels and every
thing else, and the bonds to be issued under the name of the Victory Lib
erty Loan are the highest of the high in government bonds. They constitute
a contract of the United States government, entered into by unanimous vote
of congress, and therefore a contract and mortgage behind which stands the
possessions of One Hundred and Ten Million American people with their
entire resources developed and undeveloped; the intelligence, ambition and
ability of these One Hundred and Ten Million people mortgaged ;to pay the
bill. , . , ,
The Victory Liberty Loan Bonds will bear an attractive rate of interest
and, together with all other desirable elements, when compared with other
investments as to strength, collateral and return, have no equal.
This is one of 176 advertisements inserted simultan
eously in every newspaper in the State of Oregon on
behalf of the success of the Victory Liberty Loan for
we believe in tnts cause ana are wunng wcvmriuutv
the full extent o; our power.
