UNCLE SAM BORROWS
HEN "a person Juys a War
INI Stamp he lends hia money di
ll V rectly to . the government. It
Jf Is like depositing money In a
savings bank. But the security is
better because the government Is
financially stronger than any bank.
And the rate of interest is higher
than mpT banks pay.
There has always been some
grumbling over the low interest paid
by the postal savings banks. The
War Savings project Is very generous
in that respect.
v The government has, in effect,
opened a savings bank on the largest
possible scale through which it deals
'with the people on the most favor
able terms consistent with sound
finance.
1 The benefits of the plan are mutual.
' Uncle Sam gets the' use of the
people's money. The people get the
-.'. protection of his financial power.
The War Stamps possess all the
merits of money issued dVectly by
-the government with the further
advantage that they accumulate. In
terest as they pass from hand to
tand.

all Indirection, all complication. It cuts away all eost to the citizen
by denying the speculator, the broker or any other middleman ail chance
to profit from the Stamp business which the Individual carries on witftJ,
his government.' ' -v
If a man has 1100 oa hand which be does not expect to use. and has
no way to use It, say, for four months, he knows that by putting it in
stamps, the sum will begin at once to earn interest and be available
on ten days notice, for meeting any obligation that may fall due.
It Is therefore a liquid asset. Its value cannot depreciate. If anybody
attempts to speculate on it. he Is barred from beating down the value by
the government which will take the stamp over at par plus three per cent.
The stamp wilt draw interest from the day of purchase, and the amoent
be available to meet any obligation whenever payment falls due.
' It is a direct banking relation between the little man and his govern
ment, with the little man as depositor or lender. It helps him tinder
stand his government and makes him a part of his government. It
establishes a .psychology that fills him with desire to defend bis govern
ment and his country.. .
-It. Is his country's banking system and his banking system, with no
fee paid to anybody, with no percentage paid to middlemen, with no
speculator able to pluck off a profit of any kind.

f
T MAY be a little uncertain yet
whether President Carlton of the
Western Union or Uncle Sam ta
the bigger man. But all doubt
upon that question has been set at
est so far as the meat packers are
oncemed. They have been carrying
n'wlth a high hand, fixing prices
to suit themselves. They have even
tried their old trick of selling spoiled
meat to the soldiers.
But their sun is setting. Uncle
Sam says, to them that they can do
no more business, good or bad, with
out a license. Ana if they get a
license they must earn It by behaving
themselves.
It will go pretty hard with the il
lustrious magnates of the beef trust

toward the country, but it seems
that there Is no escape for them

HEY tell you at Klamath Falls that there is enough yellow me
timber tributary to Klamath lake to build a board walk twenty feet
wide to the moon, and have enough left to build a similar walk around
the earth, and then some.
Klamath lake s not the biggest lake in Oregon, but it is the busiest
It is 40 odd miles long and ten to fifteen wide. Goose lake is larger in
area, nut it is not used commercially.
Seven billion feet of yellow pine is along the shores of Klamath lake
anil -the lake Is covered with craft towing the logs to the many mills
at Klamath Falls and elsewhere. Thirty-one billion feet of the same timber
is tributary to Klamath lake.
If you have never been to Klamath Falls, you ought to go. From a
population of less than 1000 in 1905 it has developed into a busy, bustling
city of 6000 in 1918. 'There was then no railroad nearer than forty miles.
The first train reached the town from California July 14, 190.
It was the plan then to extend the railroad northward through the
Natron cut off to meet another line building Klamath Fallsward from Eugene
Forty-three miles of this proposed line was built northward to a spot
In the deep woods called Kirk, and' there Jt stopped. And there it sleeps,
though directly in its path toward Eugene" is a low pass in the mountains
and untold millions of timber wealth.
A similar stretch of road was built out of Eugene, and though the
100 or 120 miles of hiatusbetween the two stretches would afford develop
ment to a rich country and the Southern Pacific a far easier grade be
tween Oregon and California, nine years have elapsed since a rail was
laid or a spike driven.
Klamath Falls has an industrial payroll of $175,000 a month. It Is
mostly confined to the lumber industry. Several huge box; factories have
the world for their customer and a trade, already very lage, that will
expand Into tremendous proportions. Their business has all developed
within the past nine years, or since the advent of the railroad.
There are not enough men available in Klamath Falls, and 100 girls and
more are doing man's work in the big box factories. Clad in overalls, they
take away the light pieces from the saws and perform other tasks in the
busy mills, all with a deftness- and speed that is said to make them
highly desirable as mill hands. It is a common sight to see them in
the early morning or late afternoon in their working costume hurrying
to and from their places of employment.
Nor is ..the girl in overalls confined alone to the mill industry.
pretty young wife In overalls was the assistant of her husband who
looks after the railroad's Interests at Kirk, where are the logs for and
the lumber from a great sawmill 43 miles from-Klamath Falls that whistles
its orders to its workers and fills the deep woods with the hum of its :
machines and saws.
On ranches, where male help is Insufficient, many a girl in overalls
Is helping at the farm work, and at Bend the overalled maidens who
work in the yellow pine mills are in regiments. ,
Klamath Falls has a wonderful future. Its manufacturing possibilities
are great through the power derivable from the lake. But Its Irriga
tion features, developed and . to be developed, afe an immense asset. A
future article will deal with that work in Klamath county.
Klamath Falls people are loyal Oregonians, but unhappily, transporta
tion connections make them Californians commercially, it costs li.v)
a hundred to bring print paper from San Francisco to Klamath Falls
and 11.40 from Portland. The first class commodity rate from San Fran
cisco is ti.64 and from Portland 81.76.
Portland jobbers have tried to get the business by absorbing the freight
differential, but it is an uphill business, because, there are through
and direct freight service and through and direct passenger trains
to San Francisco, while there are transfers and delays on the route to
Portland by reason of the long 90 mile triangular trip southward and
back In order to reach the Southern Pacific main line at Weed.
As the case now stands not only is Klamath Falls, but the country
north of Klamath Falls, made California territory by the spur of rail
road running northward and the boats on the lake which perforce
must make their delivery at Klamath Falls.
It Is as if the Southern Pacific had deliberately plotted to make
the region San Francisco territory, though Klamath Falls and Klamath
county are at the high end of a long plateau which has a gentle slope
almost every foot of the way to Portland.
The Strahom railroad, with ten miles of track laid and twenty miles
of grade completed, will, If ever built, remedy the" situation. It is a
line that the people of that country' are tremendously anxious to see
completed, for they are Oregonians and want to do business in Oregon
and with Oregon.
A fine Elks' hall, three court houses, two of which are but partly
oompleted, one of the best interior hotels in the West, splendid school
buildings, excellent pavements, substantial banks,, stately residences and
sightly business buildings' are among the city appointments.
The White Pelican hotel, a favorite Mecca of tourists, has 110 rooms,
is four stories of pressed brick, is, in all its appointments, highly attractive
end strictly modern, and bears the distinction of being heated and its baths
served by a natural hot spring.
" The three court houses are accounted for by the fact that two fao-
Itions are each making headway in constructing new court houses In
rival parts of the city, while Judge Kuykendall, with becoming dignity,
splendid ability and fine impartiality holds the scales of Justice, and
other county officials function, in the old courthouse of, Klamath Falls'
pioneer days. v
A beautiful, court house, with walls and roof complete, built at immense
cost, waiting only for the interior, is at present out of the running because
the rival faction won in tne last election , and is proceeding -to ouild a leas
pretentious structure.
Among the early men now living at Klamath Falls' is Evan R. Reames,
who was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Oregon militia December
7, 1872. and fought as such in the Modoc Indian war. Others are Senator
George T. Baldwin, Captain O. C. Applegate and I. D. Applegate.
There are over 460 members of the Elks' lodge and the street In front
oi its beautiful hall was the scene June 14 of a patriotic demonstration in
honor of the flag tfiat, including the ritual ceremonies with patriotic ad
dresses by W. Lair Thompson, Mr. Grosbeck and others, the dedication of a
service flag wifh40 stars representing Elks enlisted in the service in the pres
ence of an audience of 2000 people, made up a memorable occasion highly
creditable to the Elks, Klamath Falls and the country. Klamath county has
supplied more than 600 men to the army and navy.
T. Paerr-Ma said: with some little
asperity, "if you don't get out and pick
the aphis off the peas there won't be any
peas to picaV
That' an awful numr iob. Ma." T.
Paer answered, without looking up from
the scrap of wrapping paper he was
covering with figures. "Wht's the use
or gettin an gummed up with gro-m
bygs for a handful of green peas?"
"Peas, and other food, wilt win the
war." Ma said sententiously. "And it
ain't as gaumy flghtln aphis in the
garden as Boches in the trenches."
"I coulda gassed 'em," T. Paer
mumbled dolefully, "if you hadn't
glaumed my pipe and tobacco. A sol
dier can't fight unless he smokes."
"The trouble with you." Ma replied,
"is when, you smoke you can't do any
thing else, except light matches."
"That's all right," T. Paer said de
fensively, "but I look busy anyway. Be
sides, lt'd take a man with as many
hands aa a centipede haa feet to harvest
them aphis."
"Very well." Ma sighed resignedly;
"let 'em take the garden if you want
to, but I'd think you could do something
for your country."
"It won't make my back ache any it
they do take it," T. Paer said, glaring
at the sunlit patch stretching across the
back yard. "Besides," he continued.
Im doln something for my country
right now."
"Yes," Ma sniffed, "you generally help
your country with a lead pencil. If
you'd wore out as many btryonets as
you have pencils you'da been in Berlin
last Christmas."
VUh huh." T. Paer grumbled, "and if
you'd kept hackin' at the kaiser all the
time like you have at me about that
blamed garden, he'da" looked like a
bunch of bockwurst by this time.'
And, believe me," Ma said fervently.
u l oa had a chance I da done it."
"That's what I'm figgerin' on now.'
T. Paer said, shifting the wifely wind
away from the aphis. "If you'll leave
me and my pencU alone a minute I'U
have it all fixed up.'
"What?" Ma asked. "What fool idea's
rattling round in your noodle now?"
"War Savin's Stamps," T. Paer an
swered, and how to get 'em. It ain't
goin" to be no job to raise 117.500,000 in
this state if the spenders'll help.
"That's a lot of money," Ma said dubi
ously. "How do you figger it out?"
"I was down to the Ad club" to hear
Colonel Disque talk," T. Paer explained
"and I had to eat four bits' worth to
get in."
"What's four bit lunches got to do
with War Savings Stamps?' Ma asked.
I can't, see the Connection.""
"Six million dollars worth of connec
tion," T. Paer insisted. "Nearly every
one of them fellows's got a paunch on
em like a grass-fed mare. They'd be
blamed sight better off with a ham
sandwich and a glass of buttermilk for
15 cents. PhU Metchum says they's
60.000 four-bit lunches et in this state
every day. If all of them 50,000 would
eat 15 cent lunches they could buy
$6,300,000 worth of War Savings Stamps
in a year and Improve their figger 8 into
the bargain."
"That ain't enough," Ma objected
Tou gotta raise $17,500,000 in the state
this year."
"Gimme time," T. Paer said. "I ain't
done yet. A tobacco man told me that
they's 60,000 men in the state that spend
more'n four bits a day for cigars and
cigarettes. If they'd smoke a pipe it
wouldn't cost 'em 10 cents a day, and
they could save $7,200,000 a year for
War Savings Stamps."
"Why not save it all, Ma asked, "and
make it $9,000,000?"
"You gotta, be reasonable," T. Paer
answered, "or you can't get anybody to
do nuthin'."
But - you ain't 'got
yet." Ma objected
to get the rest?"
I can't raise It all to once," T. Paer
complained. "They's a candy man told
me that they's more'n 100,000 people in
Oregon that'll spend at least 20 cents a
day for candy, ice cream and gum. If
they'd just go 50-50 with Uncle Sam
tney-a oe aDie to put $3,eoo,ooo a year
into War Savin's Stamps."
"Mercy me!" Ma exclaimed. "That
makes $17,100,000 a year. Who'da ever
thought it?
"Nobody but a expert with a pencil,"
T. Paer answered maliciously. "And
that don't count what could be saved by
slicing down a little on picture shows,
and gasoline, and fiahln' trips, and
duck nun tin', and trips to the beach
and the Lord knows what else;
'It does look we was kinda loose
with our small change," Ma observed.
"We could cut out a lot of that stuff
and never miss it.'
"We'd not miss It half as much as the
boys over there'll miss it if we don'
sell them stamps," T. Paer said.
"No." Ma agreed; ."that's right.
"Specially." T. Paer concluded, "when
most of the boys is worry! A' because
their wives're having to put gussets in
their pants and their hearts're getUn
gummed up with nicotine.
