BUYING WAR BONDS Banks Not to Be Able to Float $2,000,000,000 Liberty Loan Unaided, Say Financiers. CASH CANNOT BE SPARED rnblic Mast Shoulder Burden to Make' launching of Issue Suc cessful Denominations Not Yet Announced. Tlier Is a grievous lack of en thusiasm In Portland In regard to floating: the $2,000,000,000 liberty loan, say Portland bankers. Perhaps the folks are down at the train waving: farewell to the soldiers or are attending patriotic meetings, they say. Anyway, so far, there has been a singular lack of Inquiry for the bonds that are to help the allies win from Germany. . One banker called up six of his cus tomers recently and asked if they were ready to do their bit as regards taking come of the war bonds, and if so, how many should the bank set aside for them. In each case the customer said he had not as yet thought about taking the bonds. ' - Immediate Actio Is TTrged. Financiers of the city say It Is high time ' Portland people were giving thought to the matter. The liberty loan, it is stated, must be taken by the people very largely, and everyone who is able to raise funds for the pur pose should participate In it. The banks cannot subscribe for the bonds because it would not do to have their funds tied up in such securities. If they did the business of the coun try would suffer for the lack of liquid funds to take care of pressing: needs. The liberty loan must be a popular one if it is to be successful. It is de clared. The public must shoulder the burden-and everyone in Portland must do all that he can In this direction. Denominations Not Vet Known Just the denominations of the bonds are not yet. known. It is assumed they will be as small as $100, and the prob ability Is that they may grade down to $50 and $25. In this way the participa tion will be more general than would otherwise be possible. The bonds will pay 3 per cent but because of the fact that they are free from taxation the investor will realize more from these bonds than from the average security of similar soundness. "W. A. MacRae, president of the Port land Clearing-House Association, said the banks will do all they can in re spect to buying the war bonds, but that the publlo will have to come to the front generally In order to float the loan. "At the request of the Federal Re serve Bank." said Mr. MacRae, "Port land banks will sell the bonds at par without profit to the banks. It will be Impossible for the banks to use their resources too generally to participate in the bond purchases with bank funds by reason of the fact that money must be kept in hand to take care of gen eral business. Resources Cannot Be Tied TTp. "The publlo lc generally Inclined to think that the banks can attend to the liberty loan by. themselves. The fact is they cannot, and the people must come In and take the bonds generally." E. G. Crawford, president of the Lum bermen's National Bank, is also Im pressed by the apathy throughout the community In respect to the loan. He said: "When the first loans were made as a temporary measure, the banks took them up, and I presume from this cir cumstance it Is thought the banks will take care of this loan, too. The com munity would suffer If the commercial banks tied up their resources in these bonds and the people would be hurt. The publfb will have to find the money for the bonds, which will probably be Issued within 60 days. The Portland banks will receive applications at any time for the bonds and the public is urged to Indicate their interest and co operation In making the loan a success."

You know that physicians often give two prescriptions, perhaps more, or medicines to be taken together, or al ternately or at different times. One reason may be that the medi cines are 'incompatible" do not agree when closely mixed in taking or that desired results cannot be secured by one medicine alone. The most successful Combination Spring medicine treatment that we know or Decause perfectly "compat lble" and productive of the best re suits is in Hood's Sarsaparilla and Peptlron Pills. The former thoroughly searches out and expels impurities from the blood, while. Peptlron Pills give the powerful tonic they literally "put Iron into your blood." Hood's Sarsaparilla should be taken before meals and Peptlron Pills after meals patients taking them so report the benefit is four-fold prompt, posi tive, permanent. Both these medicines are economical and pleasant to take.

Many Portland people are contribut ing: funds to the American committee of the British Red Cross through the Whitman chain letter, which now Is being; circulated throughout the coun try. The purpose of the letter Is to secure funds for the purchase of hospital sup piles needed by the British Red Cross in the hospitals of France, as, owing: to the scarcity of anesthetics, opera tions that cause Indescribable pain have to be performed daily without their aid to mitigate suffering. The chain-letter plan of raising: this money was conceived some time ago by Miss Elizabeth C. Whitman, a nurse, in New York. It met with Instant suc cess, but as the returns began growing: in volume It was necessary for the Red Cross to take It over. The money is being handled by the American committee, and the supplies purchased therewith are going forward regularly to the armies In Europe. A Bhort time ago, through an evi dent misunderstanding, a number of Portland business men gained the Im pression that the so-called Whitman chain letter was fraudulent, and they temporarily .broke their units of the chain, but this misapprehension since has been corrected and the chain has been renewed to the increased ad vantage of the Red Cross fund and to the obvious benefit of the sufferers In the European hospitals.

Fisher, of Salem, met the Turner auxiliary today to complete the organization. Turner Has Red Cross Branch. TURNER, Or.. May 8. (Special.)
