THE DESCHUTES QUOTA
Advertisements in yesterday's paper told of the E bond
purchases that must be made in Deschutes county in April,
May and June if the county is to meet the quota assigned to
it in the coming seventh war loan drive. The Deschutes E
bond total is $654,000 which is about 50 per cent higher than
the figure for E bonds in any previous drive. The quota for
all bonds, including the E figure of 5654,000, is si, 141,000
Perhaps you are wondering why Deschutes has this 50
per cent increase. Well, as we have the explanation, it is
because Deschutes has done well in previous E bond pur
, chases. To set the E quota for this seventh loan in Deschutes
and all other Oregon counties the E bond sales of each for
1944 were totaled. Each county's percentage was then com
puted and that percentage applied to the state s 855,000,000
seventh war loan E bond quota. Deschutes came out with the
$654,000 figure.
The dates of the coming loan are from May 14 through
June 30. The pay roll savings program for the purchase of
E bonds begins, however, in April as stated in yesterday's
advertisements.
Let no one look on this increased quota for Deschutes
as a burden. War bond purchases are an investment in both
personal and national security. To buy bonds is to do no
more than is properly expected of us at home and however
great the .sacrifice we make to find the money with which to
buy it is trivial compared with the sacrifices being made
daily in our behalf all over the world.
Buy Es today for ease tomorrow. Buy bonds.
ECONOMY NEEDED
You have doubtless read that the federal debt limit has
been raised to S300 billion. For the record perhaps you would
like to know what other increases in recent years have been :
3941, from $45 billion to $65 billion; 1942, to $125 billion;
1943, to $210 billion; and 1944, to $260 billion. Do you think
that the federal government is doing everything it can to
avoid another increase? Do you think that every possible
economy is being practiced ?
According to Senator Byrd, head of the committee on re-
rTiiKftAn nf nnnonnf i.il 'nLHl I.'i i
iiuii-wmaiuai itucini uAiiunuuures, me committee s
recommendations ana reports have effected savings amount
ing to more than $3 billion. The figure, according to qualified
observers, might be much larger. Observe, for example the
recent proposal, approved in all but the final Washington of
fice, to spend over a million for cafeterias in the Kaiser shin
yards. 1
Next to winning the war the biggest need of the day is
economy in our national government.

SURPRISE PAItTY

If I'd had a gun I should surely
have pulled the trigger. I looked
along the beam which I strove in
vain to hold steady. I opened my
mouth to speak. Then I looked at
the face again and snapped off the
light. Eric Woolfl I had raised the
flashlight and was ready to let
drive when the lights went on.
"Discaholus," someone said.
"But, darling, don't," I heard.
"It's only us."
And a voice that climaxed it
all said weakly: "Surprise."
I Rwore. Charley was behind
the master's chair and Pat came
out from behind the sideboard.
Eric Woolf was standing against
the opposite wall, an Ironic smile

"Don't throw it," he said. "It's
the only flashlight in the crowd."
The door opened and In strolled
Phineas Hudson himself and, of

Everyone was smiling at me ex

forward and took my arm. "Hap

She gave me a desperate 1-cnn-explaln

You didn't suppose I was actu

you?"
"It was your Idea."
"I know, but when I thought it
over, I didn't like it."
"I can't see that you've im

said.
Pat's dark eyes grew sober.
"Erie, you moan."
Pat dropped her hands and went
hack to the stove. I saw her star

said:
"When I, told father what had
happened, why you had come up
here and why I thought you ought
not to stay here alone, he said:
'You are quite right, my dear.

"Why don't you ask your father,

I tor eyes flashed ironically.
"You don't ask father to give
