That the spirit of good cheer and good will this Christmas be fostered at home as well as in camp and cantonment and at the front is of deepest moment to us alL The war must be won. That is the important thought in the minds of all patriotic Americans. Nothing can be allowed to interfere with this and nothing can be allowed to retard its attainment, to hinder the speedy return of the J victorious columns of glorious American manhood from "Over There." Therefore Uncle Sam and Santa Claus have entered into an agreement to make this a different kind of Christmas a Win-the-War Christmas a Christmas that ehall have all the good points of those that have gone before with all the evils incidental to former Christmases eliminated as far as possible. The Council of National Defense Says Speaking on Behalf of the American Government to the American People the Oregon State Council of Defense Heartily Concurring: Your Christmas Shopping Earlier Than Ever Before The Council of National Defense recognizes Santa Claus' business as an essential industry, but one that like all things else in this great land must conform to certain rules to make it more effective towards helping win the war. lljl Do The Government Wants You To distribute your Christmas shopping over Oc tober, November and early December, so as to relieve the transportation facilities of the country from a con gestion in the latter half of December, which would be "so hurtful to the interests of the Nation that it cannot be permitted." Do your shopping 6ofar as possible during the earlier hours of the day. Carry home your packages as much as possible. The Government Wants You To help keep deliveries down to one a day and avoid special deliveries, except in urgent cases. Confine your Christmas gifts to useful things, ex cept gifts for children. Mail and express all gift packages not later than December 5. Inthis way it will not be necessary for retailers to lengthen working hours beyond the normal day. We unreservedly pledge our help and ask the hearty co-operation of our many customers.
