Out of four boys - from the Northwest in the four-round card, one failed to show, another was beaten, still another boxed a draw and only one. Weldon Wing, won In impressive style. Al Sommers, Portland light-heavy, got a draw against the- hard-hitting Jack Downey, though the crowd thought Downey had the shade. The judges couldn't agree and Referee Sanilham called it a draw. Downey was doing good work in the third, but slowed down in the fourth. Sommers was fairly clever and could stand pun ishment. Joe White won easily from Jack Al len. It was one-sided match with White winning all the way. Billy Mascott reported with a bruised hand and Jimmy Dundee, who substi tuted, won a decision over Eddie James, who was not up to his usual form.

PORTLAND DEAF TO PLEA TO BUY BONDS Banks' Patriotic Effort to Help Government With Loan Falls Hopelessly Flat. MEN OF WEALTH TOO BUSY Lumbermens Trust Company Sends Salesmen Through Many of Busi ness Iouscs, but Response to Appeal Is Trifling. GOVERNOR WITIIYCOMBE BUYS F1KST I.IDKIITV SALEM. Or., May 17. (Spe cial.) Governor Wlthycombe set a good example to the rest of the state today by making applica tion for a Liberty bond. The1 Governor was the first subscriber at a local bank early this morn ing, and so far as known was the first actual subscriber in the state. The Governor's Initial sub tlon was for $100, but It Is un derstood that he and his family propose to make further Invest ments In the Liberty Loan. His object In making the Ini tial subscription today was for the purpose of encouraging. If possible, other residents of Ore gon to make similar invest ments. Portland people apparently don't take the Liberty Loan seriously. Aside from a few isolated cases, ef forts of the banks to get subscriptions here yesterday fell hopelessly flat. It Is apparent that unless the peo ple who are able to invest in large amounts awaken to a realization of their duly, this war is going to be financed largely by the small sub scriber the man or the woman who buys bonds in $50 and $100 lots. The banks themselves have sub scribed heavily and some of the big corporations are preparing to Invest their surplus In Liberty Loans, but the wealthy Individual who has more or less available cash at his disposal .was not conspl.-uous around the bank count ers yesterday. Salesmen Canvass for Bonds.. The Lumbermen's Trust Company sent its entire staff of salesmen through the city to solicit sales. They started In the business buildings and sought purchasers among employers and employes alike. The day's results did not speak encouragingly of Port land patriotism, but the same institu tion received many comparatively heavy orders from out-of-town banks and regular patrons. One bond salesman canvassed an en tire office building and didn't make a sale not even a 150 bond. The employers "hadn't thought about It," and the employes didn't have the money. A man known to have considerable means went Into one of the banks yes terday. A bank official asked him if he was going to invest In the Liberty bonds. "How much Interest?" he demanded. "Three and a half." i "Why, I get that rnuch In the sav ings bank down in the country, so I guess I'll let my money fide." Banks to Buy Million. The banks themselves are making heavy investments of surplus funds In the loan. Approximately $1, 000,000 of short-term three-per cent notes pur chased a month ago by the Portland banks will bo converted Into the new loan on July 1. This will go far to meet Portland's requirements of 16. 000.000 set by the directors of the San Francisco reserve bank. But the general public must be aroused It Portland is to do its finan cial bit. y The offer of the Union Pacific Sys tem, through Chairman Lovett. to help finance any employe who desires to buy war bonds is meeting with enthu siastic response. The necessary for malities are being arranged as rap idly as possible, and will be completed in a day or so. i Bonds Bought for Wife. But this is not stopping the employes from getting busy. The first applica tion received was from an Eastern Oregon agent, who wanted to do his bit by subscribing $400 worth as a present to his wife, and he wanted to pay cash, too. The second application was from a man In the general office, who has a baby and In whose name a total of $300 had been accumulated and placed In a savings bank. This amount he wished applied for bonds in the baby's name. The third application was from an official, who wanted to apply $1000 for two bonds of $500 each in the names of his two daughters. BANKS TO BUY BONDS PORTLAND INSTITUTIONS J5XPKCT ED TO TAKE! BIO AMOl.NTS. Certificates Bearing 3 Per Cent In terest Will Be Receivable at Par. Details of Loan Received. Portland banks have been asked to subscribe to a new issue of United States treasury short-term 3 4 per cent notes. Subscriptions will close next Friday, May 25. On the previous Issue of a similar olume of 3 per cent notes Portland was allotted - approximately $1,000,000, having oversubscribed that amount substantially. Members of the .Federal reserve sys tem were advised of the new loan late yesterday by telegraph from the Fed eral Reserve Bank at San Francisco. State banks also are invited to par ticipate. As It was too late on receipt of the advice to arrange for loans yesterday, the Portland banks took no action toward making subscriptions, but It Is probable that some of the larger in stitutions will arrange to take "large amounts today. Details of the loan were described In the following telegram, copies ol which were received by all the Federal reserve banks yesterday: "As fiscal agent for the United States Treasury Department the Federal Re serve Bank of San Francisco is au thorised and directed to receive sub scriptions In its district for an addi tional issue of $200,000,000 3 per cent treasury certificates maturing July 30. 1917. to be dated May 25. 1917. on which date payments should be made to- this bank for the credit of the Treasurer of the United States. "Subscriptions will be accepted until $200,000,000 shall have been subscribed and then closed. The denominations will be $1000. $5000. $10,000 and $100, 000, payable to bearer at maturity. These certitlcates will be payable at option of holder at th,e Treasury Department in Washington or at any Federal reserve bank.' "These certificates will be receivable at par and accrued interest In payment of accepted subscriptions for Liberty Loan bonds. The Secretary strongly recommends that these certificates be widely distributed, and to that end the rate of 3 vt per cent has been estab lished with the particular purpose in view of encouraging sale of these cer tificates to investors and smaller banks even in those districts where higher money rates usually prevail, and thus bring about a gradual general prepa ration throughout the" country for a convenient method of anticipating pay ments for the Liberty Loan. "The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco urgently requests your im mediate and effective assistance to the end" that the proportion of this dis trict may be promptly subscribed and these certificates as generally and widely distributed as possible in order to avoid particularly any dislocation of business which might be caused by the payments for Liberty. Loan bonds were not these payments prepared for and to some extent anticipated by sub scriptions to and distribution of these short-term certificates. ....

Will you kindly tell me how to can fruit and veertahles without bnlllnir. such as rhubarb and strawberries nd other fruits. I have heard they retain their flavor much belter In ths cold water process- Thanking you kindly; for the Information. MllS. J. Z. u. XKNOW no method of canning fruits and vegetables without boiling, and without the use of chemical preserva tives. "Canning powders," for use In canning fruit without boiling, were on the market some years ago. but they were harmful and are now forbidden by the- pure food law. By the "cold process" Is usually meant the method by which fruits and vegetables (usually after blanching) are- packed, cold. Into Jars and then sterilised by boiling on a rack in a washboiler. The flavor Is usually bet ter and the keeping qualities are bet ter than that of fruits cooked and pac!i. while hot. Into cans. Rhubarb, has In Itself enough acid to act C9 a preservative, and conse quently it may be put up in cold water without cooking. Green gooseberries can sometimes be "done up" success fully In the same way; but they do not keep very well for more than a month Cr two, as a rule. Cranberries may also be treated 'like- rhubarb; but I know of no other fruit, and no vege tables, for which .this Very simple rnethod can be used. ' "Uncooked" strawberries, currants, peaches and , pineapple can be put up with very largo quantities of sugar; but that is not a practical method at this time, and the product In a rich preserve, not a "canned" fruit. Some vegetables may be saltedsor pickled and put up without cooking, but I judge that is not what you had In mind. I plan to give later some direc tions for salting and drying vegetables. . Directions for canning fruits and vegetables by the oold-pack process appeared in last Sunday's Oregonian. rORTLjAN'D, April 27. Kindly lve direc tions for making vinegar at home, prefer ably In a large Quantity. Thanklns you. MHO. K. H. Homemade Vinegar. The following method has been recommended to me, hut I have not tried it personally. Fourteen pounds of coarse brown sugar. 10 gallons water, one cup "brewer's yeast" or three fresh com pressed yeast cakes. Boll the sugar In three gallons water and skim while boiling. Take from the fire; pour in a gallon of cold water; strain into a 10-gallon keg; add the rest of the water: add the yeast cakes broken In pieces, or the brewer's yeast spread on small bits of toast. Stir every tlay for a week: then' tack a piece ft gauze over the bunghole. Set where the sun will shine on It and let remain six months. - If made In the Spring It will be readv for Fall pickles. It is better. If . possible, to put in some "vinegar plant" or. "mother of vinegar." a mass of micro-organism from previously made vinegar. A smaller amount can easily be made by dividing the above recipe. CORRECTION AGREED TO Collier's to Correct False State ments About Port of Portland. Collier's Weekly.
