' NO NEED FOR ATTORNEYS
The secretary of the treasury has
announced that neither the soldiers,
' sailors, nor their dependents or any
beneficiaries under the soldier and
Bailor Insurance law need employ at
torneys or claim agents to collect the
Insurance; that the employment of
uch Intermediaries Is unnecessary
and Inadvisable and a needless ex
pense. ...
The procedure for the . presenta
tion and collection of Insurance
claims Is very simple and the proper
- blanks can be secured from the
bureau of war-risk Insurance In
Washington. The name of the per
son In the service who was killed or
, Injured and the relationship which
he bore to the person making the
claim should be given. If further In
formation or assistance Is required
by the claimant the bureau of war-
risk insurance will gladly furnish It.
Circulars have been sent out by
claim agents and attorneys offering
to assist ' persona entitled to the
benefits of this insurance In collect
t log their claims. The "pension
barks" who once thrived and fat
tened under our pension laws, 'are
Btfll a rank memory In this country.
It was hoped that when they were
legislated out of existence we would
neve see their like again. Official
Bulletin.
A The first $3,000,000 day In the
war savings stamp campaign was re-
corded at the treasury department
March 7. Sales of thrift stamps and
war savings stamps on that day
throughout the country set a new
high record, though it Is expected
that the three million mark will be
topped double or treble that amount
before the campaign closes. Sales
in Oregon now are crowding the $2,
000,000 mark. Placing Oregon's to
tal April 1 at the $2,000,000 mark.
though It will probably exceed that
there will remain nine months In
which the state must Invest about
$15,000,000 In war savings stamps
if the $17,000,000 quota Is to be at
tained by January I,' 1919. It will
require a little speeding up, but It
will be done. ' ;

BRITISH TO PUE'LISH
OUTPUT AND LI
London, Mar. 21. Figures on the
shipping output and tonnage losses
ot Great Britain will be published
regularly hereafter, It was announc
ed in the house of commons today
by Sir Erie Geddes. first lord or the
admiralty, during the ' debate on
the navy shipbuilding bill.
It would not be In the national In
terest, however, to give the tonnage
of losses up to date, the first lord
added. '
The amount of tonnage sunk In
the last IS months waa six million,
said Sir. Eric, instead of 9,500.000
as the Germana claim.
The tota) allied and neutral ton
nage la now 42.000,000, Sir Eric
stated, the fact that it Is at this fig
ure being largely due to the new
construction by the United States
and the seizure of German ships.
The output of new tonnage, con
tinued the first lord, was very low
in 1915 and reached its lowest point
In 1916. This decline had been coin
cident with the increased output of
munitions, and before the intensi
fied submarine war began Great
Britain was 1,300,000 tons to the
bad.

FAVORITE STOGIE IS DOOMED
Long, 811m 8mok, Popular With Many
Men, Soon Will Be No More,' Ac
cording to Tobacco Dealer.
A Cleveland tobacco dealer is hU
thorlty for ttiu stbtetueut Unit stogies
soon will be uo more. The wiir line
knocked the stuffing out of them, or
rather, It has tuken the stogies' stuff
ing away to fill cigars of more aristo
cratic: shape. Profit Is all but gone.
Prices climb, but so also do the objee
tion liicreuse ugulnst puylng the high
er rate. Taken altogether, the chunces
for the stogie are as slim lis Itself,
snys the Toledo Wade.
As virt saally all Cubans am roll
clgiirs so was It once possllile . for
miiny Americans Wldcs professional
cignrniiikers to manufacture their
.own smokes. Hospitable folk of the
rural districts thought It the flue thing
to' offer their guests cigars which hail
been mndc in the bouse. The stogie
was the lust of Its kind which could
be suld to have an unprofessional ori
gin, inuny thousands being rolled fy
women nt their homes In periods of the
day when household duties were light
If now the- stogie Is to disappear,
clgaraiaking In tills country will cease
to hove even the slightest of the ama
teur touch.
This vunlshliig Is to be regretted,
not simply because the stogie was a
cheap smoke,. but also because It was
picturesque. If fitted a certain type
of Anierlcnn face. It went with long
chins, long legs, bodies without super
fluous flesh.' The man whose pocket
were stuffed with stogies seemed to
be armed against .lonesomeness and
the power of anyone to "turn him
down." Smokers of timid spirit never
affected stogies.

GOVERNOR WITHYCQMBE
.i , ;
if the people of Oregon are ot the
opinion that I have served them
faithfully, 1 should be pleased to re
ceive a vote of confidence at their
hands.'
The governor of the atate has the
ar of th people. It is therefore
In hi power to assist In creating
and malntalulng a healthy public
sentiment on the many subjects
which nuke for community welfare.
I have been mindful of this fact,
have mingled with the people and
have done all In my power to pro
mote the development of the state,
to bring about the construction of
good roads, to emphasise the- Im
portune of education and especially
to maintain at white heat the de
votion of the people to th great
cause of liberty and democracy for
whl.h the country la Ruining. If
re-elerted I shall coin I nil to do
everything I can to accomplish these
end.
Oregon ha given twenty thous
and of her sons to the great world
war. These men are the flower of
our young manhood and we have no
clearer duty than that of loyally
supporting them, providing for their
health and comfort and safeguard
ing their morals. ' I shall continue
to render them every service In my
power.
I'nder our form ot government
the conduct of a foreign war devol
ves on the President of the I'nlted
States, who Is the commander-in-chief
of th army and navy. I shall
do everything In my power to assist
the President In making the power
of this country effective In the great
world conflict. I shall particularly
exercise every power and authority
which I possess to promote a maxi
mum efficiency la oar local Indus
tries which are related to the war
(lovermir James Wlthycomlm '
activities. No other duty Is so pros-
sing, or at this time ao Important
as llitt of winning the war. No sue-
rlflce Is too great If it looks to the
triumph of the forces battling for
International righteousness.
I shall stand In the future a In
the past, for rigid law enforcement
and. a cleaner and greater Oregon.
Oregon is firmly committed to the
principles of prohibition and equal
suffrage and, while they are no Ion
ger Issues In this state, I shall con
tlnue to give these causes my full
support.
. Every legitimate phase of state
development should be supported,
but at this time when our coin try Is
engaged In the most terrible war in
the world's history the moat rigid
economy In state expenditure should
be observed.
