Portland's Honor Is at Stake
Incredible though it may seem Portland is lagging! Portland, the city which
has so far carried off the highest honors in every patriotic enterprise, has not
yet raised her War Savings quota and W. S. S. are the best investment of all.
Join the Limit Club, if you can for $834 today you can buy W. S. S. with a
maturity value of $1000 on January 1, 1923. You don't have to pay cash simply
pledge yourself to buy the limit before December 31. If you can't join the Limit
Club, buy W. S. S. to the very utmost of your capacity. Help put Portland "over
the top" once more.

Xcw President Reviews Milk Situa
tion and Says Dairymen's League
I-'orced Company to Seek
Xew Milk Supply.
The control of the Portland-Damascus
Milk Company has passed into the
bands of William D. "Wheelwright, pres
ident of the Pacific Export Lumber
Company and well-known financier.
The change in the control of the com
pany culminated some time ago, but
announcement of the change was made
yesterday.
"It is true." said Mr. Wheelwright
yesterday, "that interests identified
with the Pacific Export Lumber Com
pany have acquired the co.ntrol of the
stock of the Portland Damascus Milk
Company and will direct its future pol
icy, as, in fact, they have been doing
for some little time past."
The announcement of change in the
ownership of the plant is significant
inasmuch as the milk controversy
which has arisen between milk pro
ducers and distributors has been some
what centered about this institution.
Dairymen's LeaKne Blamed.
"We have no quarrel with anyone and
regret exceedingly the difficulty caused
by the ill-judged action of the execu
tive board of the Oregon Dairymen's
League in trying to force the distribu
tors to pay a higher price than that
previously agreed upon at the sugges
tion of the milk commission without
consulting that body or the distribu
tors, or giving the latter any oppor
tunity to protect themselves by notices
to their customers," said Mr. Wheel
wright. "It was this act alone that compelled
us to look up a new source of supply,
which has been done, and unfortunately
we are not now in a position to use the
output of the Oregon Dairymen's
League, but we are making strenuous
efforts to increase the business and
hope by degrees to take our full propor
tion of the entire product of all their
dairies.
"We are paying the price fixed by
the milk commission after they had
made a thorough examination of the
respective costs of production and dis
tribution and are entirely satisfied to
abide by their decision should they see
fit to advance the price to the dairy
men." Farmers Should Have Fair Profit.
An increase of the price of wholesale
milk, Mr. Wheelwright said, would
mean an increased cost of milk to the
consumer, but, he explained, that it is
important that the farmer should re
ceive a return for his product which
will yield a satisfactory profit and en
courage him to increase his herd.
"No greater disaster in the food line
could happen than a serious reduction
in the supply of milk, and it is quite
possible, In view of the increasing costs,
that a further advance will have to
be made in the near future," Mr. Wheel
wright said.
"But I venture to express the hope
that such action will be deferred," he
added, "at least for the present. The
trouble with the farmer is not the price
of milk in Portland, which is $3 per
iuo pounds, but the price of milk in
other parts of the state where he is
dependent on the condensers, whose
prices are regulated by what the Gov
ernment pays them for the finished
product.
Condensed Milk Supply Bipr.
"It is a well-known fact that, owing
in some measure to transportation dif
ficulties, there is an immense oversun
ply of condensed milk at the present
lime and under such conditions it is al
most hopeless to look for any improve
ment in the price at present.
It seems clear that an advance in
the Portland price would not help the
producer who supplies Forest Grove
ana HUIsboro, while it would lay
ouraen. pernaps unnecessarily, on the
people of this city. Portland takes
only a small proportion of the milk
produced in Oregon, so that a higher
price here will affect only a few of the
farmers and will not help the general
dairy situation throughout the state.
v e should hesitate before lavins
an increased tax on an article of food
that is specially required by invalids
and children who should have it in
bountiful supply and at reasonable
prices. An increase in the cost will
necessarily work in favor of decreased
consumption or milk, the very last eco
nomical measure that should be adopt
ed at the present time. What we must
uu is to inaugurate a propaganda for
an increase in its use.
Pure Milk City's First A'eed.
1 speaic with all deference to the
members of the Milk Commission who
may after examination decide to sue-
Best an increase in prices: in such case
I am sure they will be justified in so
aoing. l he cure of the present diffi
culty, however, seems to me to lie in
uigms Liie government to pay more
money for condensed milk and thus n
able the factories to pay their suppliers
an approximation at least of the Port
land price.
"A supply of pure, clean milk is the
first need of a great city. The Port
land Damascus Milk Company will
keep up the high standard alreadv es
tablished for its products and will do
everything in its power to furnish
them always at such prices as the
Milk Commission shall set, to improve
nietnoas of delivery, introduce econo
mies and enlarge the use of this most
important article of nutrition in order
than other foods may be saved for the
use of our soldiers and allies in
fcurope.
A. M. Work will continue in the ca
pacity of manager of the institution
according to Mr. Wheelwright.
Mr. Wheelwright becomes president
ot the company, succeeding Robert Ire
land, who resigned from that position
recently because of ill health.
