THE OREGON DAILY', JOURNAL, POR TLAND, TUESDAYS -JANUARY 21. 1919. EXECUTIVES PLAN ; FIFTH BOND ISSUE "Victory Loan" to "Finish the Job," Says State Manager Robert E. Smith. The fifth Libert loan-e'r ."Victory loan'" as it will be called-Mwhlch will be floated eon$e time In Ajirll, will be M.mucb of a. popular loan aa any of the fowr great loans floated during the .war, in the opinion' of Robert K. Smith. state Liberty loan manager, who has returned from San Francisco where he attended the conference of Liberty loan and War Saving Stamp executives, Fri day and Saturday. Others attending the conference, from Portland, were : Mrs. K el ley Reea, executive secretary of the Women'a Liberty Loan -organization ; C. S. i Jackson, state director, and Henry K.j Heed, associate director of the. War Savings Stamp" campaign. The confer ence was held for the purfjose of con sidering matters in connection with the Liberty loan and War Savings Stamp campaigns. N The amount to be ralse.d in the "Vic tory" loan will prohably be In the neigh borhood of $6,000,000,000. the same as In the fourth loan, according to Mr. Smith, although this remains to be de--, termined. as well as the exact date for launching the campaign. The rate of interest. Mr. Smith believes, will be a shade higher than in former loans, prob ably 4V4 per cent, making the "Victory" loan bonds even a . better investment than any of the other war bonds. "This will be the last Liberty loan ' AIIU Hip U VC IHUCIII . . 1 'CV I D IV 1 1 1 1 1 V. lb a pdpular loan that is taken by the people generally," Mr. Smith explained. "The slogan of the 'Victory' loan cam- . paign will be; 'let's finish the Job, and ' the patriotism of the people will be ap pealed to Just as elfc-ongly as in former campaigns as the task of winning the - war will not be completed until the bills accumulated through the extravagant . preparation which, made possible the ending of the war in 1918. instead of 1919, have been taken care of. Thou sands of American boys have been saved because of this seemingly reckless ex penditure of money, and unquestionably the war, with its destruction and devas tation, has been shortened many months because of America's generous program, and surely no real patriot is going to shirk his part in meeting the bills now that the war . is ended and ended as we wanted it ended. "The method for figuring the quotas of the new loan as to districts, states. counties, cities and towns will remain unchanged," stated Mr. Smfth. "There fore, in a general way, any town can figure its quota right now, and, what is more important, every person knows Just exactly what he must subscribe in order for his town, county and state to go over the top, and we should begin to prepare to meet our Individual quotas right now. "No definite .announcement with re spect to the details of the loan can be made until the necessary legislation has been enacted by congress. The Initial payment of the 'Victory' loan, however. Will be 10 per cent and the remaining payments will be scattered over a long period, probably five months. The min imum bond will be $50, the same as in former foans." The delegates were guests of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon and of Governor James K. Lynch at a banquet in honor of Louts B. Franklin, national director of the war loan organization, who came west frorqtsWashlngton to attend the confer ence:. -. ; Intoxicated Driver - Gets Heavy Penalty , ' "N, . .As a warning to persons who operate automobiles while under the influence of liquor, Frank Bond, 33 years old. an employe of the Inman-Poulsen Lumber company, was -sentenced to serve 30 days In the city jail and to pay a fine of $100 when convicted in municipal court Monday on a charge of driving an automobile while intoxicated.

"Out of curiosity I tried a pair of Neelin Soles," writes W. P. Macartney of St. Louis, "and today, after five months of hard service I fail to notice any real signs of wear on them."

Moreover, they are exceedingly comfortable and waterproof scientifically made to be exactly what soles should be and so worn now by millions. They are available everywhere on new shoes and for re-soling. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rub ber Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to outwear any-other heels.
