You hold the gov ernment's promise to pay you back. Thlo promise Is called a Liberty Ivnml or Ylfllorv not P. Oil this .. - - 'bond .Invited the conditions un ,' 'dor which the government borrowed the money from you. For Instance: .If you hold a bond of the third Liberty loan. It states that on April 15 and October 15 of each year until maturity, you will xecolvo Interest on tho amount you paid for the bond. Other Issues Mar other rates of interett and other maturity date", all of which . arts clearly stated on the bond. Now, If you keep your bond un til the date when the government pays you In full for It. you do not need to worry if. In tho meantime, the price is low one day or high the next. You and lnclo Sara are living up to your agreement with each other, and neither will lose by It. On tho other hand, If you sell jrpur Liberty bond now, you will find that the man you hell It to will not give' you a dollar for every dol llar you paid for it. The price has been brought down because so many (people are offering to sell their bonds. If the market Is flooded with tomatoes, you can buy them cheap, but if everyone Is clamoring for tomatoes and there aro few to be had, the price goes up. The same is true of Liberty bonds. Short-sighted people are dumping them on th market, and wise ones are buying 'them. Tho best advice that can be given to the pw.ner of a Liberty bond Is this: Hold the bond you bought dnring the war. It is as safe and sound as the United States govern ment itself. Buy as many more at the present Jlow.raje.ub yon can nfford If you hold them to maturity, you aro bound to, make the difference be .tween what they sell at now "and their! face; vajue. You will also re ceive' good "interest on your invest ment. ' . Hold on to your Liberty bonds and buy more. A FLOWERS OF SPRING "" Now that the battle of ballots '& over. let us forget the League lit nations and the campaign tor .t'tols office and that, and think of .ome of the things that are around is in tho spring time that we have -fiee'n overlooking as wo considered c'andldateond measures. ' THr. mW" InJfrpRtinc thlnir that Vone cqmes to realize about the Oregon country is tho fact of their almOGt Imperceptible transition from one. to the next. Chiefly tho reason is because wo have so few deciduous trees. In other sections autumn is associated with falling leaves, "isero QlVX 111 11 infl dollars ls e investment in OlXiy DllllOn -the farming business in the United States more than double the capital invested in all other industries. This is the Great Food Plant of America.

There Is more mud In tho wads un til the. lone drvlnn period has pnNSed, slowly tho grass Aunts green and tho . loaves begin to como out. Hote, on. Inn, other hand, tho trooR nre always 'the same. Tho seasons mako no change. On sunny lawns the grass, hvalwayK green." Roads nre often dusty, even In January. The change to spring Is marked chofly by longer days of sunshine. There Ik ono aspect of .the sea son, howeer, hero as elsewhere, that does especially distinguish It from the others and that 1.4 tho blossoming of the spring flowers. First comes the wild currant. Even In March Its little, angular leaves begin to develop, nnd the warm, days of April soon bring out tho pink and white, bell-shaped flowers tha.1 too soon ure faded by dust. Then comes the yellow, wax like clusters of lilotsomB on the Infrequent and stunted branches of our state flower, the Oregon grapo, while, out In tho woods the man znnttn, green-leaved the year around, puts out the blossom that in all but Its lack of fragrance re minds one or the trailing arbutus of New England. Soon, too. there comes in the' woods tho stately anil fragrant mountain lily. These are flowers of tho waste spaces. While they are putting forth there comes by tha river nnd In the lawn the flower that Is a de light to the children, but a weed to the gardener tho dandelion. Just now there Is another blos som that appeals especially to the children, the "star-scattered," whlte- petaled and yellow-centered sand Illy, with Its long grass-like leaves Always It is found In spots so dry and dusty that Its appearance, In Its fragile beauty, Is like a miracle. A little yellow violet Is coming now with tho sand Illy and soon the same places will also see the deli cate blue blossom of tho flax. The climax of spring blossoms to us is the flower of the chemlsal. Thd Individual blossoms are not especially striking, but there Is a mass effect of yellow, when a bush Is in full bloom, that makes It stand out above any other flower or shrub. With Its color thore Is also a fragrance of heliotrope and spice, brought out most fully on tho warmer dajs, that Is almost over powering. .' TRUCKS AGAIN. One of the biggest things that can bo doneby those who aro interested in'our roads. iS;to study the problem of the motortruck and offer some, office on a good roads platform, by obtaining legislation that wll rogu- tho owner of the freight train must late the auto truck, will be doing on much 'for their constituents as they will by securing funds for road con struction. The truck is one of the modern means of moving freight speodljy. By use of the gasoline engineand. hoavy frame construction there is produced a vehicle which alone cm bodies two of the three necessities of a freight trains that is, the en gine .and the car. The third, a track on which to run; is furnished by tho highway, wlttiythls difference, that the 6wner of the freight train must provide his own" tVack. Tho high way Is provided by the public. Now it is clear that the public by getting Kb freight movod at the low ?;. , Tl 5 BUND BUIXKTTN, ttlC!tt, OnitOON, cost posnlhlo by uso of tho motor ttHbK ,gots an -advantage, olthcrln cost oY lit speedier delivery. Thw'' of course, IsmIio economic. Jitstlficii lion fur thlrt form of asportation but ovjBvJf rt ,l become mote clear that tho advantage Is only apparent FrelRht, inny ho moved more cheaply but roads aro put In, such a condi tion that now cbnstruclon and" un usual utatlitenattco aro requited and this tho public pays for In taxation. U the truck wore, made to pay for the uso of the. roads It would havu (o go out of business. It could not stand any extra charges nnd survive; but on the other hand ll has no right to demand of tho public that It keep up a road of heavy enough construc tion to carry It alone. One truck with narrow tires and overloaded In one day can ruin 30 miles' of road. This burden tho public otight not (o havo to stand. Tho solution Is up to tho legisla ture. ONE WAY TO uKltlil,ATK Yesterday wo npok"h again of the need for legislation, to rVmtlate the use of our roaus my auto truchs. Today wo prosent a report from a well known tiro company, Indicat ing that abrond tltu problem has al ready had consideration, ami that certain' conclusions h a v n been reached which may well bo taken under consideration hero at home. ' The report Is as follows: "Holland Is seriously consid ering tho advisability of follow ing in tho footsteps of Nor way In proposing national legis lation that will specify that motor trucks of certain capa city must bo equipped with pneumatic tires, so as to pre Vent damage to roads and to cut down oxcesslvo cost of highway repairs, dun to the uso of solid tires on heavy, loaded trucks. "Recent cable advlcen state that the Dutch roads congress will meet In September for tho purposo of discussing details of the proposed legislation and making recommendations to the government on tho matter of specifying certain pneumatic tire equipment for motor ,e hicles. t ,"In Norway the legislation to become effectlvo this summer provides that all trucks URod 'for 'commercial purposos must be equipped on all four'wliccls with tires of at least flv-nch treads. This means that, un to two tons, trucks mtutt, bo pneumatically shod; from two to thrco and a half tons, cipher pnoumntlc or solid equipment of more 'than five-Inch tread is permissible, white, all trucks of more than thrco and n .half tons-capacity may run on solids "It' is belloved that tho pro posed legislation for Holland will bo slightly different from that of Norway, In that trucks up to, ono ton .capacity roust run on pneumatic tire. ., "Both countries found that , tho trucks equipped with solid tires hayo canned .severe cUsJij tegratlon of the roads ' and caused heavy expenditures of money for repairs, . "Norway estimated that Its country roads would bo ruined within two years it somo relief was not found. Just what has been Holland's experience is not revealed In cables already re ceived." i m II THURSDAY, MAY 117. 10UO s J W" Fifteen Years Ago (From the columns of The Bulle tin ofiMay 20, 11)051.
