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 &ad 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. Unfortunately, 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 ydu 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.

Residents of Portland have been caught in the act of erecting: buildings without first obtaining: the necessary city and Government permit, and re quest was made of city officials yes terday that prosecutions be pressed in all such instances, according to Jesse Currey, building permit commissioner of the State Council of Defense. Larger lumber firms and nearly all dealers in building supplies are said to be observing the regulation against sale of materials to persons who do not show authority for the building operations undertaken. A few smaller lumber firms and an occasional dealer in other materials are still lax in tins regard, it is charged, and sell to those not legally entitled to obtain building supplies. In addition to the effort to institute prosecution of those who erect build ings without legal permission, an in vestigation of the dealings of smaller umber firms is to be made by A. E. Doyle, supervisor of pledges of tho War Industries Board. Mr. Currey's department yesterday acted favorably upon applications of several industrial firms for privilege to make plant extensions. Applications thus forwarded included those of the Kiernan & Kern Shipbuilding Company, Iirthwest Steel Company, Hesse-Mar-trh Iron Works and Supple-Ballin Ship building Corporation. Actual approval of these applications can only be made by Herbert Witherspoon. regional di rector of the War Industries Board, to whom they were sent. Bid. Boston Minins; Stocks. BOSTON, Oct. 17.
