MR. AUTOMOBILE OWNER.
As an automobile owner you are
financially Interested in the adoption
of the $6,000,000 good roads bond
Issue to be voted on June 4, because:
1. The Increased license fee is al
ready a law and you must pay the
double license fee whether the bond
issue pastes or not.
This bond issue merely determines
whether the money already provided
by increased license fees shall be
spent in mudhole construction or
whether it shall, as In other states,
be spent upon a comprehensive, busi
ness like system of modern road
building.
2. The bond Issue provides for the
construction of a statewide system of
permanent roads. This means a di
rect saving to you in the wear and
tear of your machine or your tires
less gasoline and less garage bills.
There are thirty-four thousand au
tomobile owners In Oregon, of which
you are one. In order to be sure of
the adoption of this bond Issue It Is
not only necessary for you to vote for
It yourself, but that you get In touch
with at least four of your friends
and make sure that they will vote in
favor of the bonds.
Remember that the entire bond Is
sue both principal and Interest
will be paid off by the increased
license fee, which YOU MUST PAY.
WHEN YOU BUY SUGAR.
When you buy sugar you pay less
per pound when you buy it by the
dollar's worth. You pay still less per
pound when you buy It by the hundred-pound
sack or by the barrel.
The same is true of the manufac
turer and the merchant. The larger
quantities of anything that he can
buy the less he has to pay for it. It
costs his less to handle It in large
quantities than In small lots. It
costs less per pound to ship a solid
carload than It does to ship a car
load In separate shipments of 100
pounds, each. Just as It costs you
less to buy a hundred pounds of su-
Tidings
jgar at one time than It would 'to buy
a hundred pounds a quarter's worth
at a time. Less in money. Less In
time. Less waste less in every way.
The manufacturer and merchant
who advertises are enabled to buy
and to sell in larger quantities. By
doing a "quantity" business they cut
! ,
e&peuse uuu waaic uu vvcij
hand. They can sell better quality
pay the small advertising cost and
SELL FOR LESS than if they were
doing business In a small way.
In these times of advancing prices
carefully compiled statistics prove
that the advertised brands of mer
chandise have advanced much less in
proportion than those which are not
advertised.
In the Interest of economy buy ad
vertised merchandise from merchants
who advertise1.
ARMY DISCIPLINE.
An officer in an army training
camp remarks that one of the worst
difficulties the army meets is the
American boy's lack of training In
obedience. Our young recruits are
splendid fellows, as alert and clean
as those of any race on earth. But
American family discipline Is loose.
Plenty of orders are Icsued to the
young folks, but In comparatively few
families are these orders followed up
and obedience Insisted upon. . The
American boy listens aimably, and
then goes and does as he pleases. We
are a good-natured people and pun
ishment goes against our grain. The
American boy comes out of Itself reli
ant, but without much recognition of
authority. Tt will go hard with boys
developed in this atmosphere to sub
mit to the strict regime of army life.
Many of the regulations will seem
arbitrary and without any basis in
reason to the boys. They will want
to stop and argue, and may land In
the guard house for disrespect. Yet
army life Is built on the Idea of in
stant obedience. Only thus can a
group of men acquire the habit of ac
tion as a unit. The Boldier who Is
allowed to use his own discretion In
one thing will try to use It at the
wrong time in the moment of con
flict. He may then endanger his own
life and the lives of others by his in
dividual action.
It is the unity of a military force
that gives it Its, striking power. The
doing of things all in one second,
the exact precision of action, makes
a company of men formidable and
multiplies many times the effect of
Individual action. To secure that
unity the habit of instant obedience
must be acquired until It becomes
involuntary.
"Their's net to reason why" Is the
motttf. The private soldier must as
sume that his officers have had a
better training, and that they are In
possession of wider Information than
he has, and that there Is a good
reason for every order. As a matter
of fact, discipline Is a great safe
guard. Every time Insubordination
Is quelled and irregular action' avoid:
ed, a body of men are enabled to pro
tect themselves to the best advan
tage.
Aside from Its attraction as an in
come-producing investment, It Is your
duty to subscribe for a liberty bond.
Ask any bank for particulars. Do -it
TODAY.
A number of farmers are making
application to come under the work
men's compensation act. since the re
cent ruling of the supreme court,
which declared farm hands were pro
tected under the employers' liability
act when engaged in hazardous occu
pations. At the present time', a state
ment issued by the commission re
cently says, an average of 11 em
ployers are daily bringing their op
eratlons under the act, and during
the last 20 days 215 additional em
ployers have been listed.
