The purpose of the League Is to further the distribution of war I savings stumps, and to conserve war 1 materials for America. In each community the aupcrvis ' ion of the work will be In charge of the war saving stamp representa tives, and It Is proposed to ship the collected materials In carload con signments to the League at Port land. Individual shipment may be made, however. In any case the name of the sender, with complete address, should appear on every package. In order that proper pay ment may be made. The materials that Oregon school children and cltisens are urged to collect, with the prices per pound that will be paid therefor, are as fol fel fol eows: Copper wire, free of hair wire. 21 cents; light copper and bottoms, 18 cents, heavy red brass 20 cents; heavy yellow brass,. 14 cents; light aud medium brass, 10 cents; soft lead, ti '? cents; tea and hard lead. 5 M- cents; zinc 4 cents; battery lead I eenis; battery zinc, 2 Va cents; No. 1 pewter. 40 cents; aluminum.

It Is esti mated that from $3000 to 16000 will In- needed for this purpose, and every young patriot who sends In a pound of metal or rubber, will know that he has borne his share In the fare well tendered to Oregon men who are to serve In France. Should a surplus exist It will be devoted to the Heed College fund for the recon- strucdoii work for wounded soldiers. Every boy and girl In Oregon, as well as their seniors, is urged to be gin at once the collection of valuable waste materials, and to attend to their shipment to the League after June 28th. In all cases the prices are F. O. U. Portland, and represent the best price obtainable. Shipments should be sent by freight where possible, owing to the prohibitive cost of express shipments for material of this character, and should be plainly addressed to the Patriotic Conservation League, Port land, Oregon, and should bear the name and address of the sender. Payment in war savings slumps will follow promptly.
