The Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign will begin Sep tember 28 and close October. 19. The amount o f the loan j will probably be $6,000,000,000, Aurora’s quota may be! a3 much as $47,000.

These restrictions upon the pri vate employment o f common labor will as soon as possible be extended to include skilled labor, also. This drastic change, will protect both employer and employed, conserve the la^or supply, prevent frequent and unnecessa'ry chang es o f employment, and greatly increase the production o f essentials. It will, o f course, cut down the production o f non-essentials. 'Farm labor will be protected and farms ltept supplied with labor as fully as possible. Labor fo r the railroads, for non-war work, etc., will not be recruited by this government employment agency. As far as pos sible local labor will be used for local demands. These regulations went into effect August 1. The rights and privileges w e have enjoyed all our! lives imposes upon us the obligation to uphold the hands o f | our government in prosecutingthe war.

Aurora has not yet adopted the custom o f a noon-day prayer for the president, the army and navy and victory, as has been done in many eastern toWns, where even the children have become interested* One o f them, a wide awake boy o f eight having been greatly impressed by the solemnity o f the situation, prevailed upon a number o f his playmates to join him in prayer. N ot having been trained in thO stately prayers o f the ritualistic faith, he knelt down, shut his eyes and said, “ N ow I lay me down to sleep, but Oh God help us lick the Huris!” Which is a prayer we highly approve. jP - , - Twelve Silverton girls have donned coveralls arid have gone to work in the planing mill at the Silver Falls Lum ber Company, where they are reported to be doing the work as well as men. They receive $2.40 a day while the men receive $3.00. Men employes o f the company are said to be discontented as they fear the employment o f girls will have a tendency to lower wages. In that case, it ap pears that the men should demand that the women be paid the same wages as men when they do the same amount o f work equally as well as men. vertising notices of every description! in the news columns of inis, news- j paper.
