WAR SAVINGS.
War-savings campaigns, similar to
the war-savings certificates and
, thrift stamp campaign Just launched
by the Treasury Department of the
United States, are proving highly sat
isfactory in England. There, as In
the United States, the laboring class
es, and their children, unable to in
vest in the 'bonds of larger denomina
tions, do take pride and patriotic sat
isfaction in investing their small
earnings in "Baby Bonds," for they
realize that they are thus helping to
win the war.
Already the effects of the educa
tional features of the propaganda are
being felt. Parents and children
alike are learning to save. They are
lending to the government and at the
same time are putting more money in
. the savings banks.
Basil B. Blackett, of the British
treasury. In an address to the Amer
ican Bankers' Association, advised
that the working people of small sav
ings capacity in England, Wales and
Scotland have lent their government
$400,000,000 out of 16 montha's sav
ings. Mr. Blackett, speaking of the lar
ger features of the campaign, said:
"The war savings movement has in
the first place increased bank depos
it during the war. Still more im
portant, it is educating a vast new
army of future clients for savings in
stitutions after the war. Finally, it
can not fall to be of enormous sig
nificance in the future state of Eng
land that one in every four of its
population, at the very least, is t
direct holder of government securi
ties."

Youngsters Love Soldiers.
The old saying that "till the world
loves a lover" might be changed these
military dnys to "every kid loves a
soldier," or his uniform, nt least. Just
watch the little boys and girls ns a
soldier pusses. Those admiring glances
would not be bestowed on a "slacker."
Here are two cases In point, cites the
Imllumipolis News:

Ullrich. Big Four agent at Shelbyvllle.

burg. Reed, with several Decatur
county soldiers from Camp Taylor,
were-on the way to Greensburg, by
way of Shelbyvllle, and the sergeant
after buying a ticket had leaned up
against the railing of the ticket office-
when the three-year-old hugged him.
A second illustration occurred when
Sergeant Reed reached Greensburg on
the way to his parents' home. He was
confronted by a tiny soldierly figure
that saluted with all the grace and
courtesy of a trained soldier. The
sergeant exchanged the salute, and

tlnually expanded. The issue of Fod
eral Reserve notes is frequently re
ferred to aa bedng an addition to the
money In circulation and evidencing
a corresponding inflation. Tho fact,
however, is that for tho" most part
gold has been drawn Into the reserve
of the Federal Reserve Band pari
passu with the Issue of Federal Re
serve notes. Every one who uses a
Federal Reserve note Instead of gold
really places tho gold In the reserve
of the Federal Reserve Bank and
thereby performs a patriotic service
In adding to the financial fortifica
tion of the country. A study of the
weekly published statements of Fed
eral Reserve Banks will show not
only the large Issue of Federal Re
serve now approximating $70,000,000
but also the great increase thereby in
the gold reserve.

AUTOMOBILE PRICES
HIGHER THAN IN 1917
yew Other Changes In New Cars
Bit? Exhibit of This Seaxon's
Models Opens In East.
(Br United Press to The Bend Bulletin.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 7. The eigh
teenth annual National Automobile
Show opened at the Grand Central
"Palace Saturday war-time prices
availing. The show will continue un
til January 12.
Eighty-six manufacturers are dis
playing more than 300 models, rang
ing all the way frdm tiny runabouts
selling for a few hundred dollars, to
the largest, roomiest limousines cost
ing $20,000.
The exhibit includes cars ''meeting
every purse," but the percentage of
3ow-priced cars is markedly lower
than in 1917. Last year about 10 per
cent of the models sold for under
750. This year Just slightly under
six per cent of the models sell under
this mark; 21.6 per cent of the 1918
models list for under $1000; last year
thin price class represented 27.7 per
cent of the models. A man desiring
to spend between $1000 and $2000
for a car this year has 49 per cent of
the models on the market to select
from, while last year he had 63.6
per cent.
. Thousands of little attachments de
signed to add to the economy and
comfort of automobile maintenance
are displayed on the upper floors of
the Palace.
The 1918 car shows very little
change mechanically ofer that of
1917. , What changes have been
made, are chiefly in the nature of
jmlnor refinements, '
Why They Stopped.
One morning recently the children of
the Indianapolis Orphans' home were
assembled In the auditorium. They
were patriotic and started to sing "The
Finest Flag That Flies." Their leader
and pianist had them sing the first
verse. They did that so well she
asked for the second stanza. They
started. Suddenly every child stopped
not a sound escaped their lips. The
leader, very much surprised and
chugrlned nt the sudden, unexpected
silence, said, "Whnt Is the mutter?"
In one accord thpy repPed, "We
can't sing that next line."
She looked nt the words and the
next line rend. "Dear old Germany."
"Certainly not," she told them, "we
will leave that entire rtiinzn out." She
had not thought of finding anything
like that In jji American ting song. It
had been bitten before the world

' Get Oil From Grain.
A discovery by Germans Is that for
extracting oil in quantity from grain.
By n process called degerminntlng, a
small germ resembling a hen's egg In
composition, designed for the nutri
ment of the young plant, Is extracted.
Distilled, this germ ylejds a very good
table oil, and at the' mime time a raw
ingredient for margarine and nn al
buminous powder, which latter con
tains three and one-hnlf times the
nourishment of meat. Twenty grammes
are equal to one egg, nnd already It
has been put to nse as an egg substi
tute. All large mills In Germany hnve

germs are being turned Into1 oil, and

production were resumed.
The construction of buildings is
decreasing, reports from the principal
cities of this district showing a de
crease of 17 per cent during the past
five months.
Bank deposits and bank clearings
continue to expand. Lending rates
of member banks have tended to a
i
greater firmness ana tnere nas been
considerable rediscounting with Fed
eral Reserve Banks, but all legiti
mate requirements of borrowers are
being readily met. The Influence of
Federal Reserve Banks In Imparting
financial stability and serenity is very
marked. This influence Is being
steadily enhanced as the exchange Is
made of Federal Reserve notes for
gold, the 'bank's reserve thereby con-
of the Public Service Commission
over irrigation companies Is being di
rectly tested in that case, and there
is little question but that the case
will finally go he whole gamut of the
courts to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Derision Is Awaited.
It is no secret that the commission
accepted jurisdiction In the Central
Oregon Irrigation Company matter
with the decided belief that Its order
would be tested In the courts and It
was expected litigation would be
started soon. But apparently, some
officials say, the company sees an eas
ier way out, by calmly taking the or
der as issued and await the decision
In the Sutherlin case. If the United
States Supreme Court decides that
the commission is without jurisdic
tion over irrigation companies, the C.
O. I. company would have the final
word of the courts and it is appar
ent the commission would not at
tempt to enforce Its order against
that company further. The C. O. I
Company would enjoy the benefits
and be penalized none of the expenses
of a finally adjudicated proceeding
which Is directly In point.
Federal Judge Bean ruled, In de
ciding one of the motions before him
in the Sutherlin Irrigation case, that
the Public Service Commission has no
Jurisdiction over private Irrigation
companies, and he defined a private
irrigation company as one that selects
to whom It sells water and contracts
with such parties for the Bale of
water.
Order Will Htuml.
At any event, the order of the com
mission, through the act of the Cen
tral Oregon Irrigation Company It
self, apparently will stand for some
time at least.
Mr. Stearns' letter of acceptance of
the order of the commission, as sont
the commission, is as follows:
"Permit me to call your attention
to one provision in your order dated
December 27, 1917, and received
by mo as secretary of the entral Ore
gon Irrigation Company, December
31, 1917, In tho matter of the Cen
tral Oregon Irrigation Company Wa
ter Users' Association vs. Central Ore
gon irrigation company. This pro
vision Is as follows:
The company before beginning
of tho Irrigation season for the year
1918 shall Install at the point desig
nated for the delivery of water to the
land of each settler a suitable device
for the measurement of all water to
be used by said settlers.'
I think there should bo added
after the word 'settlers':
" 'And the cost of such measuring
device shall be charged and collected
by the company as a part of the main
tenance fees against,' or words of
similar Import.
"The contract betweon tho com
pany and each settler slnco July 17,
1907, has the following provision:
" 'All necessary gate and measur
ing devices for taking water from tho
point of delivery on lands of tho pur
chusor for distribution thereon shall
bo installed by tho company at the
expense of the purchaser '
I'olntM Out Discrimination.
"Under the earlier form of con
tract used there was no provision In
respect to measuring devices, nnd If
your order is permitted to stund with
out somo such amendment as I sug
gest, Il will appear to the settlers,
first that the company is ordered to
do this work at Its own expense;
second, If It charges, as It possibly
may under the contract referred to,
the cost of the installation to settlers
under contract made since June,
1907, it will work discrimination
between those settlers and thoso who
hold their lands under earlier con
tracts, and the result will be that any
attempt by the company to collect the
cost of Installation of these weirs or
measuring devices, under present
prices of lumber and labor, will cost
the company from $8 to $12 apiece
In some Instances possibly consider
ably more, depondlng upon tho size
and location of the weirs and whan
this cost is multiplied by tho number
of weirs, you can readily understand
that the aggregate amount to a con
siderable sum. In fact. If tho com
pany has to Incur such expense this
coming season without remuneration
from the settlors, it will be difficult,
if not Impossible, to establish tho de
preciation reserve called for In tho
subsequent part of the order. On the
other hand, If your Honornhlo Com
mission shall order each settler to
pay, as a part of his maintenance fees,
the actual cost of the Installation of
such measuring device, it will not
tend to violate the contract between
