WHY DO YOU SAVE.

. Why do you save money If you Jo
aavo ItT Or why ao yon try to savt
lt .lt yon are among those numerout
individual who try to save money bat
seem to be unable to do ao?
The reasons that Inspire you to sare
money, area to try to save It, measure
with exactitude Just what kind of man
or woman, girl or boy you are.
Are your motives for saving mean
and sordid, selfish and personal, or
are they high and noble, unselfish and
nttralstioT Do you save Just to grat
ify your own tastes, or do you save to
help your ctvtldrer. to get a better
Start tn. life than you had, or to pro
tide a comfortable home la their ola
age for yonr parents?
But for whatever motive you save
money if Is certain to be for some
thing that you value meet highly.
' Before the United States entered the
war you probably never thought of
saving any money In order to let your
country hare the benefit of Its us.
That would hav seemed a nonsensical
Idea to you before the rail was sent
out from Washington for men and
money.
Why, the very idea of saving money
to loan H to Uncle 8am, enormously
wealthy Code Sam. with more money
than he knows what to do with.
But you have noticed in the last
year that Uncle Sam ' needs money
rery badly, because he is not only
spending money in tremendous sums
ou hie own war work, hut he is lend
log tremendous amounts of money to
the allied nations of Europe.
He can get this money for himself
and for the allies only from you.
And you can lend it to him only if
you save money. Do you think enough
f your Nation, of the splendid United
Slates, to save a little money to lend
to It? Is your nation among the great
est things In life In your estimation,
or is it not? If it is. you will try as
hard to save money for it as you ever
tried in your life to save money tor
any purpose whatsoever.
Tou should put your country first
In the matter of saving for It during
war time. Tou should do that not
only because of love for your country,
bnt because If your country Is defeat
ed in war time all your savings may
be the spoils of the enemy.
Tour country could demand that you
risk your life In Its defense in the
most dangerous place In the war cone.
And what ta money compared to life?
But your country, your United
States, does not ask your life of you.
It simply asks that you save a little
out of .your earnings and lend It to ft
at a very good rate of Interest, backed
MP by the beet of security.
It offers you many opportunities to
Invest your savings In loans to Uncle
Sam. There are the War Savings
Stamps and! Liberty Bonds as low as
158. Save alt you can and buy all
you can of them.
Ren ember that National War Sav
ings Day is June 28. Pledge yourself
on or before that day to save to the
utmost of your ability and to buy War
Savings Btamps that there may be
more money, labor, and materials to
back up those' who fight and die for
you.
uses up paper, which Is woefully short
Tin la short for the canning of food.
Yet we throw lncatcuable tons of old
tin material on dumpa every day.
In Kansas City the Civic Associa
tion'a committee appealed to type
writer companies and various produc
ers using pasteboard boxes, and ask
d if they would be willing to use such
materials a second time if It could
be marked "Salvage." This was agre
ed to, and In some cases these contain
era were resold six times.
Some companies might object to
this, on the ground that their sales
would be hurt it their stock was not
put in absolutely fresh looking boxes.
It should be possible to educate the
public up to the Idea if they bought
an article enclosed In a box marked
"Salvage,'' they would be likely even
tually to get their goods cheaper, as
It would lower the cost of producing
them.
There should be systematic collec
tions by responsible parties, who can
assure the public that full value Is
being paid. It this could be attempted
all over the country. Money enough
would be saved to pay our Red Cross
and army T. M. C. A contributions

middle class that has stood tor order

Yet these very agitators from Rus

League organisers do not relish order
but arouse violence and dissension.
Everywhere w read of meetings
broken up, leadens arrested tor al
leged attacks on the national govern

middle classes.
Our reformers and social theorists
glibly adopt resolutions upholding the
program ot the British Labor party
for democracy tn industries and land.
The industrial democracy and the
common ownership of lands and nat
ural resources means confiscation of I
wealth and destruction ot the home
owning class.
Carranta's breaking off of diplom

he alleges' to be an excess ot friendli

INEXPERIENCED HELP
All classes of employers are
now up against the problem of work
Ing in a lot of inexperienced help. Two
million men have left their Jobs to
serve In the army. Another million
will leave very soon. These places
must all be filled. Green hands are
everywhere trying to learn new tasks
Employers and foremen lose patience
They sometimes say it is useless to
put on inexperienced help, because it
takes so much time to show them.
Farmers have often been reluctant
to put on inexperienced help. They
say that farming is skilled labor, and
that It takes more time to show
high school boy or a recruit from the
cities, than the work-they can do
worth.
No man ever makes a big success
unless he is willing to put on and
break in new helpers as needed. It he
and his managers try to attend to all
details themselves, because It is
easier than to teach subordinates,
they can never do any very large bust
nesa. The details will be well done,
but they will get no Quantity produc
tton. They simply must train In good
helpers, at the cost ot bother and ef
fort, so that their own minds and
time can be tree to grasp the big
problems.
We are now getting a large output
in the shipyards. It was mostly done
witn green neip tnat a yew ago
knew nothing about ships. Similarly
in all parts of the munition business.
Breaking In a lot of raw help makes
the work go slow for a time. But w
can secure no big national output
without it Our business men and
farmers must patiently give their time
to it
The new help takes up new tasks
quicker than one could expect They
all want to learn, they are trying
hard, and In a few weeks can go
much alone. So let not the farmers
turn down with such scorn the stu
dents and others who offer for the
first time to wield the hoe.

A man visiting in a large city took
his family one night to a music ball.
He was informed that general ad
mission to the balconies, where no
seats were reserved, was SO cents. To
get reserved seats, he would have to
buy floor seats at $1.00. He asked if
there would probably be room enough
Tor him If he bought 50 cent seats.
"Cant say," gruffly replied the
ticket seller. "You take your chances,
So rather than run the risk of having
to stand up the man bought $1.00
seats. Afterward he felt sore that
the balconies were not half full, and
60 cent seats would have been perfect
ly good. The ticket seller knew the
situation. But he felt it was better to
grab the additional 50 cents a seat,
rather than help the purchaser get in
on the most favorable terms.
That principle runs all through
business. Some men will grab the Im
mediate dollar, without regard to the
interest of tbe purchaser. Others look
at the sale from the purchaser's point
of view. They will sacrifice their own
immediate interest, to see that the
purchaser makes a deal that will
please him and be most economical
for him. That is the way to make busi
ness friends that stick.
This principle applies to our home
trade situation. When you buy goods
In the stores of Oregon City, you buy
of sellers who do not depend on trans
lent trade, here today and gone to
morrow. They depend on making per
manent friends, consequently they
will help yo-J make the purchase most
(economical and best for you.
Also another characteristic ot lib
eral business policy is willingness to
advertise, and tell the public about
goods. When a store gives out advance
information in the public press about
Its goods, it helps the public make in
telligent purchases, and get what it
needed at the lowest going rates.
THE SALVAGE MOVEMENT
Few people, indeed, In this country
now tail to realize that we are fight
ing a brutal, relentless enemy. The In
dictment against the Hun grows
stronger every day. He Is absolutely
devoid of pity or chivalry. An Ameri
can correspondent reports a conserva
tion with a crippled British officer
who, after a long stay In German
prison pens, had been exchanged.
The officer told of men so feeble
from lack of food and bad conditions
as to be able scarcely to stand being
forced to work at the point of a bayo
net 'until they dropped from sheer
weakness; "of badly set gun-fractured
arms and legs; of soldiers buried to
the accompaniment of tbe Jeers of
German soidiers; of the Ions Journeys
of the badly wounded without relief of
dressings, food ,or water; of wounded
prisoners marched to exhaustion and
then shot down like dogs when they
no longer co'.ii walk; of prisoners put
into camps v. here thypus raged.
This is the kind of enjmy we are
fighting, and this is why ail of us
must get down and put every bit ot
our strength back of the Government.
For one thing, we must buy only those
things necessary to maintain ourselves
in the most efficient condition. That
will give the Government more labor
and materials for war purposes. And
(l ei with our savings we must buy
War Savings Stamps. That will give
the Government current funds with
which to use labor and materials ln
h0 successful prosecution of the war.
We must do as President Wilson asks
us to do ln his message pledge our
selves on or before June 28 to save
c Mistently and to buy regularly Gov
ernment securities. We shall then be
doing our part.

If the radicals believe In a govern

loyal to our Institutions, why do they

property does not place anyone neces

Tho train loads ot soldiers passing
through Orogon City on their way
from Camp Iewla to "somowhert In
California" and other training camps
In the south are seldom remembered.
This Is due to tho people of Oregon
City not knowing Just when the trains
are to pass through hero, for the peo
ple ot Oregon City have as big hearts
as any others In the Unltod States, or
In the world. A train load of soldiers
passed through here Tuesday even
ing, and the train was "ttalled" near
the Congregational church for sever
al minutes, owing to other trains be
ing on the main track at the Southern
Pacific depot Several of the coaches
were near the Harding home, and here
the boys were given a big treat of
luscious cherries from the Harding
tree by Mrs. George A. Harding and
her daughter, Miss Evelyn. Beautiful
roses, too, were plucked in large num
bers from the Harding rose garden
and passed Into the train for distri
bution among the boys. The soldiers
made a "grab" loathe roses and cher
ries, and showed their appreciation by
words of thanks, and the smiling
countenances was an evidence of tbelr
appreciation. As the train reached
the depot, several bystanders, over
hearing several of the boys say they
had not had their supper, rushed to a
nearby confectionery store and pur
chased some delicacies, but upon
reaching the depot found the train
had pulled out, and left them stand
ing with arms full ot goodies. If ample
time was given these soldier boys
would be remembered when passing
through Oregon City by many of our
patriots, who are doing their bit at
home.
