A POOR M AN’S
INVESTMENT
Oregon is in its second Liberty
Loan campaign. Tnis state is re­
quired to raise in Liberty Bonds
the sum of $16,500,000 and E X -
PE C T E D to raise $24 000,000.
Will you help?
These bonds may be bought in
any size from $50 up. They can
be bought all cash down or on the
partial payment plan— 2 per cent
down, 18 per cent in 30 days. 40
percent in 60 days and 40 per
cent in 90 days. They bear 4
per cent interest.
Patriotism demands that every
citizen buy just as many Liberty-
Bonds as he can afford.
Unless the entire country takes
up its three billion dollar issue of
Liberty Bonds, the country faces
one alternative alone. The money
will have to be raised by direct
taxation, and that m eans not
on y income taxes, but every form
of taxation that could be devised.
Automobiles and gasoline, for
example, as luxuries would prob-
ably be taxed until it would be al-
most impossible to own one.
By purchasing bonds the period
of taxation for the war is spread
over many years.

To the Public;
Tin- time is approaching to give
thought to bringing Christmas eheer to
the American soldiers aisl sailors
abroad.
Arrangements have been perfected
whereby the Christmas mail to the
American Expeditionary F o r r e s in
Europe is t o be delivered by t ' hr i s t ni HS
morning.
Without the fullest co-operation on
the part of the puhlie, it will be im-
(NKSsible to accomplish this result.
The three essential res|*-cts in which
the public can aid in assuring a happy
Christmas at the front are; MAIL
E A R L Y , A D D R E S S IN TELL I­
GENTLY AND PACK SECU RELY.
For this reason it i* urgently requested

Euro|>e observe closely the follow ing
directions:
