The wooden steamers will use coal. The large steel vessels being completed here by the Columbia River Shipbuild ing Corporation and the Northwest Steel Company and Willamette Iron & Steel Works are oil burners, while th smaller steel carriers building by the Albina Engine & Machine Works' force are to use coal.

Why put off until Saturday evening what should be done on Friday? If you have something you wish to advertise In the classified columns of The Sunday Oregonlan you should prepare and bring on telephone your ad vertisement to The Oregonlan office today. Truly, proscrastlnatlon Is the thief of time. When you de lay until late Saturday after noon the matter of placing your classified copy for The Sunday Oregonlan you are needlessly wasting valuable time. It is not possible to give each advertiser as prompt and careful service at 9 o'clock Saturday evening, when there ai-e several hundred trying to place their ads. as would have been possible on Friday, or early Saturday morning. To secure the best results careful consideration should be given the construction of a classified ad. An advertisement prepared thoughtlessly and In hast Is usually defective. On Saturdays many advertisers tele phone The Oregonlan for the purpose of placing classified ads without having any definite Idea of what they wish to say. Do It today! Consider your proposition carefully from tha reader'a standpoint and write it out concisely and In plain lan guage. Then telephone The Oregonlan. A A9S op Main 7070, and ask for "Want Ada." You will secure prompt and courte ous service.
