Walnut for War Purpose
Owners of black walnut treea have
an excellent opportunity to help win

You hear a tramp of' marching feet, a distant, muffled roar? ,
Well, that's the mobilising of the Thirteen Milliin More!
No doubt ) ou know already what a mililon Yanke are like
When for a just and righteous cause with holy wrath they strike.
They are rallying by millions, they are arming for the fiirht,
They will not luy their rifles down 'till thia ia settled right.
It's just a little incident that Thirteen Million More
Are signing up against you as Ten Million did before;
For know you that this people is One Hundred Million strong,
And every one enlisted for the Right, arainst the Wrong!
Ho, autocrats of Germany and every-other-where,
Your hour to leave the stage has struck! Of sudden death beware!
Democracy is rising with a rifle in her hand;
She will not put It down again while Tyranny shall stand!

PERMIT NECESSARY
FOR IMPROVEMENTS
Council of Defense to Have
Charge of Passing Upon
All Applications
. The state councils of defence have
been designated by the war industries
board as its representatives in pass
ing upon proposed construction in the
state of Oregon, in order that all
building which is not absolutely ne
cessary may be stopped. This is part
of the new plan of the war industries
board by which permits from that
beard will be required for construc
tion projects. You will not that per
mits will b required for all new con
struction projects and all repairs of
extensions to existing buildings in
volving an aggregate cost of over
$2500.
The procedure will be as follows:
1. The person interested in a con
struction project will apply with a lull
statement of the facts under oath, to
the appropriate county represents
tive of the state council of defense.
2. The county representative of
the Stat council of defense will then
investigate the necessity of the pro
posed construction and transmit its
recommendation, with a summary of
the facts, to the state council for re
view.
8. The state council, or its approp
riate committee, will review the case
The war industries board will in
form all persons applying directly to
it, that they must first take up their
projects with the appropriate repre
sentative of their state council of de
fense; further information concerning
procedure will be transmitted to you
from time to time as it is received
from the war industries board.
It is hardly too much to say that the
success of the entire priorities system
of th government will under this plan
depend upon your loyalty and enthus
iastic cooperation. I trust that you
will give this matter your unremit
ting attention and at the same time
impress upon your entire organization
th fact that this task will be one of
their most important functions.
The secretary of the navy, acting
chairman of the council of national
defense, in the absence of Secretary
Baker, has assured the chairman of
the war industries board of the sup
port of our organization in the follow
ing language:
"The council of national defense
without reservation pledges its en
tire organization national, stata and
county to give to the war industries
board whole-hearted cooperation in
carrying this plan into effect"
It is up to us of the state council
of defense for Oregon to see that thia
pledge is made good so far aa our
respective territory is concerned.
Yours truly, P. D. GILBERT
County Chairman, Council of National
Defense.
