ed and it all comes back to the great
national need for millions of tons of
shipping—the urgent requirement of
the hour is ships, ships, ships.
The campaign of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce is for ten
thousand men to work summer and
winter, day and night, in the ship
yards to build steel and wooden ships.
Ships are the great national need
for our country and the allies and any
man who can wield a hammer or a
saw can serve his country in the ship
yards as effectively as in the trenches.
Portland and Oregon shipyards
need 5,000 men for building steel ships
and 5,000 men for wooden ships.
Help enlist ten thousand workers for
this industry which is as important
as service in the army or navy.
son, and put up a little axtru to ship
to the Louise Home and the Albertina
Kerr Nursery Home, where we are
caring for abandoned mothers and
babes, and we assure you that what
ever you can do in their behalf will
be greatly apprecated. Why not form
a club in your town and ship a barrel ;
or canned fruit or canned vegetables
at Thanksgiving.
Address correspondence to Gen.
Supt. W. G. MacLaren, 195 Burnside
St., Portland, Oregon, for shipping
instructions.
Second Liberty Loan.
September 15 is announced as the
date for the second Liberty Loan in
stead of October 15, as first an
nounced.
The earlier date may be
taken as semi-official. Of course, the
people will subscribe it.
The last installment of the first
loan is due August 30.
This will
leave only two weeks to prepare for
the first installment of the second
loan. The rate of interest and the
terms of payment have not yet been
decided on, but these are minor mat
ters.
The main thing and the su
premely vital thing is for the great
body of American people to lend to
their government another very large
sum to carry on the war.
There is only one way this thing
can be done, and that is to mortgage
future earnings.
Ready cash is not
available, but future dividends, from
available, but future earnings, from
interest, from dividends, from wages
ai.d from every form of industrial,
commercial and professional activity
must be lent to the government on
the best security in the world.
Among the belligerent European
nations, loans were called for at in
tervals of about six months.
We
have gone into the war on a much
larger scale than any other allied
nation. We cannot wait six months.
For instance, the cost of our first
airplanes is nearly three-quarters of
a billion dollars. We must help to
finance our allies.
We cannot stop
to count the cost when the stakes
arc the freedom of the world.
The
5,000,000 Americans who subscribed
the first loan will subscribe the sec
ond and third and all other loans
until the war is won. They will do
this because they must.
Conserved to Perfection.
Conservation in the United States
is a complete success. The coal of
Alaska is so carefully conserved that
the Pacific coast ports, where it is
needed, cannot get it. Pacific coast
people might use water power in place
of the coal which they cannot get, but
that, too, is admirably conserved, says
the Portland Oregonian.
Or they
might use much more oil as fuel than
is now used, and might get it cheap
er, but all the oil on government land
is also conserved. The government
itself needs that oil for use on its
warships and on the freight ships
which it is building, or in the shape of
gasoline on the auto trucks, moto
boats and aircraft which are to fight
in the war zones, but it cannot get its
own oil. The nation needs to increase
food production, phosphate would help
amazingly, and the govc;nment owns
great beds of phosphates, but they,
too, are conserved.
The government is in the ludicrous
position of a man who has locked a
large fortune in a fireproof, burglar
proof safe and then has lost the com
bination.
He is absolutely secure
from fire and robbery, but he cannot
get any benefit from his own wealth.
It is equally safe from his spendthrift
proclivities. The only satisfaction ho
derives from his ownership is the
knowledge that it is in that safe, and
that, though he cannot get at it, no
other person can.
This is the finest tribute which
could be possibly be offered to Giflord
Pinchot as the conserver of our na
tional resources. It might be added
that due to these policies a fuel fam
ine is staring the nation in the face.—

but a tremendous burden at present
I appeal to you to remember the girls

Her Condoned Sin.
“ Intolerance” and “ The Birth of a
Nation,” D. W. Griffith’s world-famous
photoplays, were longer, but they were
no better, according to scores of crit
ics, than this master producer’s spec
tacular, soul-stirring, six-act wonder
drama, “ Her Condoned Sin.” which
will be the feature attraction at the
Scenic Theatre on Monday, August 27.
Never in the history of the silent
drama has such a wonderful cast of
players been assembled as in “ Her
Condoned Sin.” The stars are Mae
Marsh, Blanche Sweet, Dorothy and
Lillian Gish, Robert Harron and Hen
ry B. Walthall.
The story is especially interesting
right now, as the action of this won
derful drama all centers about the
choice made by a beautiful girl be
tween her lover and the safety of her
nation. She undergoes a terrific emc-
tional struggle and eventually sacri
fices her lover that her people may
live. Rarely is such remarkably fine
photography seen in any production
as in “ Her Condoned Sin,” a picture
which must stand for years to come as
one of the screen’s greatest classics.
More than 11,000 people were used in
some of the battle scenes and the same
lavish scale was followed in every de
tail of this picture.

Help Build the Ships.
Farmers of the Pacific Northwest
are hampered in harvesting crops by
lack of gasoline and distillate and
should be interested in promoting ship
building.
Harvesting machinery and farm
tractors cannot be driven without gas
oline and distillate, and gasoline and
distillate cannot be brought from the
great oil refineries in the south with
out ships.
Scarcity of ships causes shortage
o f distillate and gasoline and crude
oil and not only agriculture but other
industries will suffer.
Grain growers are deeply concern-
