Regulation on War
Stamps Explained
Explaining the regulations govern-
ing payment of 1918 issue war sav-
ing stamps, assistant postmaster Wm.
Howell yesterday explained that the
stamps may be cashed at any of the
banks. Under the system as that in
vogue by the government it is pos
sible to take unregistered stamps to
any bank and secure the principal and
interest.
Registered stamps must be cashed at
the postoffice of registry, he says.
After December 20, it is pointed out,
direct payments on stamps maturing
January 1, 1923 can be made. It is
only necessary to bring them to the
postoffice, secure a receipt, and after
ten days call for the money, eliminat
ing the red tape formerly connected
with the cashing of the stamps.

"MORE AND BETTER FRUIT"
A new discovery Nature's way of
production greatly improved.
The fruit buds mature and pro;
duce much larger and more whole
some fruit. Extremely large cherries
and they do not fall. Bear in mind
that fully fifty per cent of our cher
ries fall before maturity. This may
be saved, except for weather condi
tions, the first year by the application
of "Morehouse's Orchard Invigor
ant," applied by expert horticulturists.
All fruit made to bring forth an abund
ance, as the "Invigorant" feeds the
fruit bearing buds. The serious bleed
ing, as well as Bacterial Gummosis,
in the cherry, soon overcome, thru the
perfect circulation of the sap. Roses
and all the flower kingdom made to
respond with brighter tints, , all cer
ials, vegetables, forced into heavy
production. Practical pruning, spray
ing, budding and grafting done in
proper season. All sprays have the
invigorant added' free. "The wilder

(Continued from Page One)
any man to stand up to my face and
say that I have not always from the
first, talked of more streets, stood
on the floor at the Live Wire lunch
eons and stated and argued that we
need more streets down town, if we
are ever to grow into anything but a
one-street town. The same men that
oppose the routing by the highway
commission also stood on the floor
and said, 'Oh! yes we should open
Railroad avenue, but in .the future ;
it should not be linked with the high-
way-
IS
Is there any consistent reason w jy
we should not have three streets, viz.
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh opening onto
the- ighway, thereby being able to
take care of left-half turns and other
businesg in town, rather than one
street, viz, Fifth? Is there any sense
in thinking that if the commission
routes the highway on Seventh street,
all of the traffic is going that way?
Is it not better to believe that the
traffic will split three ways and filter
in and out of the city to the south,
on Fifth, Sixth and Seventh streets?
"I believe we owe a debt to through
traffic and to the. Pacific highway, as
much aa anv city on the line. Can you
name one city on the highway from j
Canada to Mexico where there has
j been as much trouble in getting a
safe, clear way open to through traf
fic as in Oregon City? We hear of
injunction proceedings if the highway
goes up the basin or if Railroad ave
nue is opened. We are selfish enough,
or we are influenced by selfish "mo
tives to such an extent, that we must
tie the traffic to only one route and
thereby congest our street and make
it more difficult for through traffic
to get through .Oregon City.
"Why people want through traffic
to come past their place of business
is more than I can see; Does' through
traffic buy anythingexcept perhaps
some gas, a package of cigarettes or
an Ice cream' cone? Don't you sup
pose that when ' through traffic gets
this close to Portland it will go On to
Portland? AVe don't want nt in our
streets; it congests them and wears
them out for ho good.
"I maintain that the highway com
mission is a broad-minded set of men
who are continually running up
against traffic problems, and that we
will eventually come tobelieve that
they were right in trying to get
through traffic in and out of our town
as quickly and directlv as possible,
and that they were right in forcing us
to open Railroad avenue.
"It is deplorable that a few busi
ness men in one building should be
inconvenienced by this matter, but it
appear8 to me that the new street is
for the convenience of the majority,
and in that case should be put
through."
The American Institute of Chemical
Engineers wil meet in annual session
in Richmod, Va., the secod week of
December.
Did You Come Out Behind
Your Bills Last Month?
That's easy to do but it's a losing
game. Swing the pendulum the other
way and save for a few months- Yes,
cHo without something you'd like, if
necessary. But put a deposit in that
Savings Account every month or
every pay-day.
After a few months, what happens?
Just this: You've put the shoe on the
other foot. You're ahead, instead of
the bills. And you're better satisfied,
that way. -
