Justice to all.
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. It must be raised. This community!
like every other, must rise to the occasion. From the bat-1

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

essentials. It will, o f course, cut down the production o f
non-essentials. 'Farm labor will be protected and farms

by this government employment agency. As far as pos

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.

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.
