Corn traders appeared to be nearly unan imous in drawing bullish conclusions as to the effect of the President's stand. In ad dition, the definite understanding that the Federal Government might quickly come Into the market as a liberal buyer tended further to discourage speculative selling. Oats went up-grade with corn. Domestic shipping demand was good. Word of probable big export requirements gave decided strength to provisions and so, likewise, did upturns In tho value of corn and hogs. Leading futures ranged as follows: CORN.

IS MAYOR BELIEVES CITY CAN SE CURE HOSPITAL. Tax Levy of Half a Mill for Construc tion Purposes to Be Submitted to Voters Next Month. A Government reconstruction hospital for 1000 patients and 750 attendants and teachers is in prospect for Port land, if proper efforts are put forth in the next week or two. Mayor Baker be lieves. It has been definitely decided by the commission inspecting sites and con ditions to visit Portland, the Mayor announced yesterday, and it is now strictly up to the city to get the hos pital with all that it means to the ciy. It is believed that with a definite proposition in the way of eites and buildings to present to the commission Portland will stand a good chance to secure the hospital. A tax levy of half a mill, providing about $140,000 to be used in building the hospital, is to be put up to the voters for approval at the November election. Another point that will be urged In Portland's favor is the free sites of fered by Mrs. Wilcox and S. Benson. Either would be satisfactory, it is be lieved. "If the Government would accept, I believe we could raise half a million in Portland to put through the propo sition," said the Mayor, "but I think all that is wanted is a satisfactory cite with all the advantages in health and climate Portland is able to offer them. "It is a' big proposition, but I think we can put it over with proper sup port from the city." The commission Is expected soon at Spokane, from whence it will go to Seattle and Portland.

They are too good an in vestment for us to let our share of them get out of the State. For Oregon to oversubscribe her quota of liberty Bonds in the big drive and then turn around and let them get away from her is mighty poor patriotism, and besides it's bad. business judgment. The greatest Baby Bonds on earth are Uncle Sam's Liberty Bonds. Let's keep every single one of Ore gon's share within the state boundaries. Here's How You Can Help First Don't sell the bonds you now have and don't exchange them for other securities offering- a higher rate of interest, but which may be worthless. Unforlunately, however, some people are compelled from force of circumstances to sell their bonds, and we buy them at the market. But there are just as many people who can afford to buy more bonds and thus keep these bonds in the State. In order to enable you to get more of these highly desirable securities and at the same time help to keep Oregon's quota of Liberty Bonds in Oregon, we will sell you United States Government Baby Bonds of every issue on the following plan: 50.00 Bonds $1 down and $1 a week $100.00 Bonds $2 down and $2 a week Come in or write and get our booklet telling about Liberty Bonds.
