APPLICATION BLANKS FOR lOX-SEUV N K MUX Salem, Sept. 2. - Fifty thousand application blanks lor making ap plication for the Oregon Stale Loan and Honus which was voted to Oregon's ex-service men by the pro pie last June, are now being dis tributed to every part of the state These blank forms, upon which tJw applicants must establish their ell gibillty for the bonus, are beklg sen: to American Legion Posts of Which there are 104 in the state with the request that the posts give I hem to all eligible ex-service men. This action was taken by I he State Honus Commission in order to save considerable time in getting the bonus and loan into the bands of Ui ex-service men. The Initial bond is sue of $5,000,000 already is being floated. U ids are to be opened on October 10th and the commission ex pect to have money ready by Nov ember 1st Ily having the applica tions come in early the commission hopes to have a large number of checks ready for distribution I he mo mi ul the funds are realized from the sale of bonds. Steps have been taken by the commission to Interest the bond buying market of the entire United Stales The bonds are to be sold at par or above and not to ex ceed six per cent Interest and the commission expects to sell at an in terest rate of about five and one-half per cent. The administrative force to handle this big task of passing upon ap plication has already been created in the V. S. National Hank llldg. at Salenr, headed by Harry C. Brum baugh, an overseas veteran. The necessary funds for an energetic ad ministration of the law have also been provided. Commissioners Bay that the loan feature, which appeals to a majority of the ex-service men, necessarily will be a slower process but that the commission will con tinue to follow its past policy of avoiding any and all avoidable delays Only an unexpected suit to test the constitutionality of the law will now prevent payment of several thousand claims in November. Such a suit has not been launched by the Commissioners because of their be lief in the constitutionality of the law and failure of the bonds to sell alone might make such a suit necessary. found itself forced to raise the faro raw material:) of clothing from coun to ten cents or twenty-five cents for! tries whose money in normal or three rides.

WHEN A CONTRACT IS A Des Moines, Iowa, is Strong for the principle that "a contract is a contract". Years ago, when a street railway company of that city obtain- d its franchise, it contracted to transport passengers for five cents each. Like all other traction com panies, the Des Moines corporation ound that the world war had brot ilbOUl conditions that prohibited pro fitable operation at the five-cent fare. The laws of Iowa, It appears, did not give regulatory commission pow er to set aside the terms of a fran- hise. Appeal was therefor;' made to the people for relief. They voted on higher fares and voted them down. A contract was a contract. Mm there came a time when the : tockholders could not or would not meet further losses. The system went into the hands of a receiver appointed by the court. The receiver was powerless to raise fares and he loo discovered the inadequacy of the live cent fare. Being no longer able to continue operations, he sought the cqurt and the court ordered him to discontinue services. Now Ihe peo ple of Des Moines are Walking to work, or crowding into inadequate busses or obtaining rides with ac comodating auto owners. II is doubt less very Inconvenient, but what is inconvenience when a great principle is at stake? We can ask that ques tion witli gusto Inasmuch as it is somebody else who is suffering the inconvenience. Seattle attacked the problem in another way. Rather than pay a corporation more than five cents a ride, it bought Ihe car lines and then are born with no provision made for clothing them and the sick in the hospitals are dependent upon paper bandages. American Red Cross wot'lters say thai the number oi potberj in Europe who will be un able to provide clothing for their new-born babes will paas the mil lion mark Hundreds of thousands of children will have no shoes when cold weather comes unless they nr: provided in advance by American relief organisations. The American Friends' Service Committee has united with the American Red Cross in a joint sum- mer collection of used and unused Washington, D.

In a recent review of present European conditions the American Relief Administration an nounced: "From the standpoint of food, conditions are better: from the standpoint of clothing, they are worse." All observers agree that the need will reach a climax next winter Where no clothes have been bought since 1915, except by the sale of hoilf.ehold articles and heirlooms, tne accmuiateu stores ot years are bound to be exhausted in time, and that limit has now been reached in most families. This is as true in the homes of the formerly well-to-do, who are Ihe new poor, as in the homes of laborers and peasants. The chief reason why Europeans cannot buy clothes is the deprecia tion of their currency. Americans little realize what havoc this depre ciation has wrought In the economic structure of the old world. It has brought the value of what was once a comfortable income in Vienna, 15,000 crowns or $3,000 a year, lo $30. Polish money has fallen twice as far as the money In Austria; In Warsaw 10,000, marks., once worth $2,500 in American money, will now bring only $10. The effect of this money situation upon clothing is clear when It is realized that Central and Eastern Europe import their clothing or the rr ,,thnr l.rH f'rfiij rwnri'Bontntivd Only garments which are strong, sensible, and serviceable are worth paying freight on across the water. Shoes must be in good condition and tied In pairs. Knitted garments, especially stockings and sweaters, will be badly needed. Baby clothing, new or used; uncut muslin and flannelette; strong cloth for suits, yarn, even thread in great quantities, should be accumulated. The main collecting point for the Joint campaign is the big American Red Cross Warehouse, Bush Termi nal, Brooklyn, N. Y. Red Cross workers will have specific shipping Instructions (ioods may also be shipped to the Warehouse of the American Friends Service Commit tee, 15lh & Sherry streets, Philadel phia, Pa. All shipments should he prepaid. This clothing must be made or collected during the summer monlh.; in order to reach Europe before cold weather. Clothing that is not de signated for a particular country will be distributed by the two organiza tions according to the greatest need. Donors may, however, specify the country to which they wish their gilts to go. , Let the Mirror print your butter wrappers and help your home paper FINE CANNING PEARS now ripe. $1.50 per 40 lb. box.
