We have a hard Job before us. let It can be put over, by system and thorough organisation, and we are taking steps to that end. "It Is almost certain that Portland will be called upon for twice as much as the previous drive demanded. We took pride, and properly, in the re sponse of the city and state to ail patriotic calls, but we must ac complish this new tak. not merely for the sake of saying that we achieved it. but for the good of the cause. This Viewpoint is imperative: Pwrilas Mmmt Hal rr3.OOe.SOO. It has been predicted that Oregon's sjuota In the third liberty loan will be not lesa than $i.0.00 and Portland's ouota fully half of the total, or $'S.uOrt, see.

First Day's Sessions of Organization Featured by Reports of County Presidents-- Talks Teem With Patriotism. The members of the Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union will fight the advertisement and sale of patent medl clnes coming under the head of nar cotics; they will be more neighborly to the foreign women who come to make their homes here: they will make their regular programmes timely and pa triotic; they will assist in the liberty loan campaign and will continue to help make the fight for absolute pro hibition in all the states. These plans or suggestions were dis cussed yesterday in the reports of the various county superintendents and presidents who attended the mid-year conference of the state organization that opened yesterday in the Young Women s Christian Association.

Davis, curator of the Everhart Museum of National History, Science and Art, asking if it were true that business had gone'to pieces, that all the houses are for rent and that thousands of people are leaving Portland on account of prohibition. The letter was inspired by an article in a Scran ton, (Pa.) paper. Patent Medicines Cesaldered. "The world's most patriotic organ iiiation" was what Mrs. Made Mears called the W. C. T. U. in her report. Mrs. Haltie Wilson spoke on the lit erature of the union and urged the women to take the "Union Signal." Oregon's quota for subscriptions is 350, Mrs. Wilson said, and there still are 75 mibHing. She said these names should be sent in immediately. Mrs. C. C.

O'Neil was executive officer for seven railways in this territory, the respec tive lines reporting their embargo or ders through his office and in turn communicated to foreign lines.- Accumulations of exports on Puget Sound and at nearby points for the week ending Saturday were 4925 par loads, as against 5342 carloads for tle preceding week, a reduction of 417 cars. Freight unloaded from cars on the ground and in storage, were 19S7 oars, as against 2063 cars for the preceding week. Vancouver, B. C, has been in cluded In Puget Sound's list of accumu lated exports. The committee decided to eliminate this hereafter, together with freight on the ground and in stor age, because of prejudice to the of ficial reports, improvement in the ex port situation was noted in the fact that 93,691 tons left this port In Jan uary, and failings for this month are expected to relieve the port of 211,000 tons more. The committee was officially notified that the Navy Department had com mandeered all the imported Kintakl and Kotenachi beans in this port, ag gregating approximately 15.000 ' bags, and that they must remain in the cus tody of the carriers until further or ders for disposition were received.

BIO DIVIDEND DECLARED ALASKA PACKERS TO DISBURSE TOTAL OF 91,3!0,ia3. Days of Golden Returns of .Comatock Lode Recalled by Prosperity of Colifornia Industrial. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5. (Special.) The Alaska Packers association de cided Monday to pay on next Saturday $24 cash dividend per share on its 67,608 shares of stock. This means an outlay of $1,380,192. With the exception of disbursement of the Standard Oil Company of Cali fornia and the Union Oil Company, this is the largest cash dividend ever paid on this coast by a coast industrial unit since the days of the Comstock. It is true, the two big dividends or Wells Fargo Express, paid before E. H. Harriman's death, and in 1916, were larger. But this was done in New York by a distinctly Eastern ownership. Alaska Packers is part of the newly oiganized California Packing Corpora tion, a very strong unit in it, and tne latter's management under President Henry F. Fortmann, is deemed one of the attractive phases of coast coi The Hoover food control management is now using five ships of the Alaska Packers ' fleet of steam vessels in hauling Hawaiian sugar to thia port for refining.

In Use for Oyer 30 Years of Always bears the Signature COMB SAGS TEA IHTO GRAY XIAZZl Darkens Beautifully and Re tores Its Natural Color and Lustre at Ones. Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul phur recipe at home, though, is trou blesome. An easier way is to get the ready-touse preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage' and Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a lot of muss. While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By dark'ening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking, one small strand at a time; by morning1 all gray hairs have disappeared. After anotlior application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and lux uriant and you appear years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention f disease. Adv. ARE ADVERTISED MEDI CINES WORTHLESS? There is no more reason to condemn all advertised medicines than there is to condemn all physicians or all drug gists. Fakes there are in every pro fession and in every trade, but they do not last long. Take a medicine like Lydia E.
