THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL; , PORTLAND, MONDAY, MAY g. ' 191SL 5 .... . . , Owr Two Million Copies of the May Number The Government has lifted the re strictions on paper.

Instead of 40 articles, we are giving 60 and 65 in each issue. We gave our wonderful war pictures in full colors. Now, we give not only those but the pictures to our stories have started in full colors. Almost double in size is the magazine: yet the price is the same: 15 cents. 4 20,000 Persons Couldn't get , The Ladies'Home Journal last month: it sold so fast.

Old wall papers went and new cretonnes came. Then dinner parties began. And mother would go to the games. She would go and live in the college town where her children went.
