Var Service and the flow is
stccdily increasia. accordlrg
to the director of thw work.
A campaign for fni-a inaug
urated by the association last
autumn netted mora than
500,000 and real results in the
tangible shape of books and com
fortable libraries are being felt
byjthe soldiers and sailors. The
Carnegie Corporation gave $320
000 for the erection of camp
.libraries Nearly all camps now
have libraries and in the others
the buildings are in course of
construction. The reading rooms
each accommodate 250 men.
For the men in France the
association has organized dis
tributing stations at all points
of embarkation, where books
are assorted for shipment a
broad. Soon every soldier who
steps on a stansport, will carry
a book with him, which he and
his companions will read on the
"Way across, after which it will
be forwarded to the men back
of the trenches. No attempt
will be made to. establish libra

tion will have representatives
there to supervise the work of
distribution.

C. S. Jackson, State Director
of War Savings Campaign has !
returned from a visit in Wash
ington and other eastern cities
full of enthusiasm for the pros
ecution of the War Savings Cam
paign in this state. Mr. Jackson
says there is no doubt about
the ultimate success of the two
billion dollar War Savings Drive
during 1918 but that it cannot
be put over unless the people
give to it the same patriotic sup
port that has attended all other
big "drives" since the war be
gan. "One thing I wish to em
phasize" said Mr. Jackson, "and
it is along the line I talked over
with Secretary McAdoo. It is
that the school houses of the
country as community centers
should be made the base from
whicli tho War Savings Drive
is carried on, This campaign
offers the one opportunity for
children and people of smaller
means to contribute their vital
bit to tho war's prosecution. My

Groceries Is Our Line
We have been endeavoring to sell groceries on
their merit and on the square. Ono price to overybody
jogardless of their social or financial standing In the
community.
We have tried to meet our competitors on the
square. We are not giving away groceries as a pre
'mium to sell dry goods. We have used no gum shoo
method in stalking our trade. Wo have been open and
on the square.
Our regular patrons, by tho way, have been ap
proached In all kinds of ways and Inducements .thrown
out or them to switch their trado to other places. Most
of them have remained loyal however which fact we
appreciate.
We aim to handle only first class goods. Wo place
as small a margin on them as Is conslstant with good
business. We rectify any mistake that may bo made.
We aim to please the public and satisfied customers is
our best advertisement. We have to live with ourselves
and give an account to ourselves, and to our God, for
our conduct. Any time that we cannot conscientiously
do this we will quit the business.
We want a larger patronage. Wo are now equip
ped so as to be able to handle a much larger business.
Our help Is, efficient, our delivery Is competent to hand
el any amount of trade that may come.
Increased trade means lowering of price. I ask a
more general response from the people of Springfield
and vicinity. You will find our prices right. We handle
a complete line of groceries and provisions.
"Yours for a Square Deal."

Makes Gabbing Arxangemeat With
The Oregon Farmer
Offers Unusual Oppirtooity to Its Readers
AMONG our large circle of readers
there are a great many who arc in
terested directly or indirectly in
fruit growing, dairying and other
branches of farming. All of these
naturally wish to keep in close touch with ag
ricultural activities throughout the state;
and to know about any fight which is being
waged for the measures Oregon farmers
want and against all sorts of schemes that
are detrimental to the people and agricultural
interests of this state. ,
We have, therefore, made a special clubbing
arrangement with THE OREGON FAR
MER whereby any farmer or fruitgrower,
who is one of oar regular subscribers and who
is not now a subscriber to TIIE OREGON
FARMER, will be entitled to receive THE
OREGON FARMER in combination with
this'paper at the same rate as for this paper
alone.
This offer applies to all those who renew or
extend their subscriptions as well as to, all
new subscribers. If you are interested di
rectly or indirectly in Oregon agriculture,
do not miss this unusual opportunity, but
send your order in now.
THE OREGON FARMER is the one farm
paper which is devoting itself exclusively
to the farming activities and interests ef
Oregon. It has a big organization 'gath
ering the news of importance to farmers,
dairymen, fruitgrowers, stockraisers and
poultry men; and it has the backbone to at
tack wrongful methods and combinations and
bad legislation, and support honest leaders
and beneficial measures. We are confident
that our readers will congratulate us on ur
being able to make this splendid and at
tractive clubbing offer.
