Secretary of War, Baker, has Just ro "slewed with commendation the great work that has boon done by tho Unit ed States Engineering Army at tho a trance port In Franco tor our ox petitionary forcos. In tho last six anoaths these troops haTO transform ed -what was then an insignificant hipping point with faculties for only ftalf a dozen vessels into a harbor that aivals the greatest American port. x Forty mlllinos of dollars worth of s&chlnery and materials were placed Sk the hands of the American en gineers. They dredged the shallow channel and made a deep waterway. The dredgings filled in tho marshes. These were core red with miles of jiere and warehouses. Now sixty steamers can load and discharge their cargoes simultaneously. The eastern end of General Pershing's bridge of ships Is huilt The largest railroad yard in all Trance has made 'the war xone tribu tary to this port. Miles of switches and hundreds of train crews are Susy handling the food and supplies $or the boys attho front. Shops" and roundhouses aro ready to keep the selling stock in good repair. Many battalions of engineers were zeqnired to build this distributing eater in so short a time. Carpent ers, bridge builders, pile drivers, dredgers, dock helpers, structural teel workers, riggers, surveyors, ma chinist3, concrete workers, railroad perators, trackmen, cooks, and gen eral utility men all helped to com plete this military task. This new harbor was planned and the improvements were all made by engineering soldiers. The engineer sre the pioneers of the army. They Biake the way possible for the ad ranee of the Infantry and artillery. They are the skilled workmen of the anny. The First Replacement Regi nent of Engineers, stationed at "Washington Barracks, D. C, trains sen for the different organizations of the ynlteil States Engineers, The personnel of units in the en gineering army is similar to that of an industiial organization.

TO THE LIBERTY State Liborty Loan Headquarters, Portland, Oregon, April 6, 1918. To Ten Thousand Follow Workers for tho Liberty Loan In Oregon: We set out today upon the accomplishment of a tromondous task tho raising of Oregon's share of that part of tho National Defense Fund known u the Third Liberty Loas. ( - d Let us, each one, take to the work la hand with our heartscontldeat of hut one ultimate result VICTORY, Let us keep constantly In mnd that a prompt and overwhelming sub scription to th Third Liberty Loan Bonds Is exacted of us. Faltering In this duty Is virtually equivalent to an expression of willingness to abandon our boys who are In the trenches, suffering and fighting for us. Thoroughly sweep the field on the canvassl No man should ask solicitors to come a second time In this effort In soliciting subscriptions see that they are enrolled before leaving. A task of this magnitude well begun la half done. With the Spirit of the First Line Trenches let overy man and, woman do his or her duty. "This war," said President Wilson, "must be won, not by the Government, hat by the strength of the American pooplo." - In the spirit of "WE-WILL" we will win. Sincerely yours, EDWARD COOKINOHAM, Robert E. Smith, State Manager. WILL OUR TOWN WIN In order to stimulate Individual subscriptions to the Third Liberty Loan, to create community activity and to mobilize, systemlze and unify, tho initiative and energy of citizens and districts in the accomplishment of n national purpose, an honor flag and honor roll system has been adopted by the Treasury Department for the Third Liberty Loan. This system is outlined by the Department as follows: 1. A specially designed honor flag, officially adopted as tho Third Liberty Loan flag, will be awarded to all communities upon their attainment of their assigned quota. 2. A small Individual poster, containing a reproduction of the honor flag and a blank for the name of the subscriber, will be awarded to jeach subscriber for display In his home. 3. A large honor roll, containing at the top a reproduction of the honor flag and the slogan, "Help Our Town Win the Right to Fly This Flag." and below space for the names of all subscribers, will be posted In a conspicuous place in the community. 4. A large honor flag will be awarded to each state upon tho attainment of its quota, the state flag to contain the names of those subordinate groups which have attained theIc(quotna. .. ....,. 5. A national honor flag will be unfurled at Washington on Which Will be presented the returns from all the states. OREGON'S QUOTA Fifteen Per Cent of the Population Should Subscribe to 3rd Loan. The fact that Oregon In the First and Second Liberty Loans shows a percentage of only 8.77 per cent of the population subscribing to Liberty Loans, which was less than the aver age for the United States, and com pares unfavorably with other states, makes it necessary for at least 15 per cent of the population to subscribe to the Third Liberty Loan, in order to bring Oregon into the same standing as her sister states. . 'Oregon's 8.77 pr cent of Liberty Loan subscribers is insignificant be side New York's 16.64 per cent, Chi cago's 12.22 per cent and Minneapolis 12.04 per cent Canada's "recent "Victory Loan" campaign, translated into- the United States method of accounting, shows a percentage of 14.3 of the population subscribing for bonds. Headquarters of the Third Liberty Loan of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District are in receipt of letters, call ing attention to the fact that many banks have subscribed to previous loans so liberally that their capacity is somewhat curtailed, and it will be necessary for 15 per cent of the In habitants of a given community to subscribe to the loan In order to ful fill the desired quota. With the well diffused prosperity on the Pacific Coast, it is felt that this should not bo difficult, and from the country dis tricts there should be a higher per centage fit subscriptions than from the large, metropolitan centers where there is apt to be a greater proportion of the population living in comparative poverty. WE MUST OVER SUBSCRIBE Amount of Loan Estimated for Orenon Is the Minimum. "Rarln to go" truly describes the frame of mind of the Third Ljberty Loan organization of tbe state on tho eve of the big drive. t The loan of three billion which the Secretary of tbe Treasury lias .'Just .called for from Ihe Nation. is tho'.mlnU mum amount.' , - LOAN WORKERS Executive Chairman Oregon State Central Liborty Loan Committee AN HONOR FLAG? "Quotas for different districts will be announced within a few days," says Stato Chairman Cookingham. The quota of the state Is 118,495,000. Portland will be alloted approximately half the amount or $9,000,000. While It is apparent that a 13,000,000,000 loan can be absorbed more readily, by the people of the United States than If the loan had been placed at twice that sum, nevertheless 1 wish particu larly to Impress upon our small army of volunteer workers and upon eyery citizen of Oregon that It will be no puny task to raise 118,000,006." The Republic's Battle Hymn. Harry Van Dyke, former American minister to the Netherlands, and now a chaplain in the United States serv ice, has composed an additional stan za for the "Battle Hymn of the Re public." Here It is: "We have passed tho cry of anguish , from tbe victims of the Hun "And we know our country's peril if the war lords will Is done "We will fight for world-wide freedom till the victory is won; "For God is marching on." Stanfleld, Or. (To the Editor,) I read with a thrill Mr. Van Dyke's ad ditional stanza to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," and, with the vision of my only son, just passed 20, as be left us a few months ago, eager to go over and do his bit to help avenge the wrongs of Belgium and France, I am constrained to add two more stanzas as my interpretation of America's an swer to the cry of anguish. We have pledged our lives and for tunes To help freedom's cause advance, Sent the flower of our young manhood To the shell-torn fields of France, Wo will overcome oppression, All must have an equal chance. For God Is marching on. True and loyal hearts are beating. Wo are soldiers every ono, And we're safari's host defeating When wo overthrow tho Hun. Out from Belgium they're, retreating Vbentthe victory we've,won, w , For God Js mnrchln'g on. . ' II. L. ALLEN'. After a fllnhf, ami mcyb a fight, a imtill chew vf 'Reat Cravsly traces him up lor anethtrttip HEALTH THAT MAKES WEALTH Nervous Energy Which Enables One to Think New Thouohts and Initi ate New Plans Important. Probably tho majority of men do not know what real health menus. It means more than the capacity to sit up and eat, to wulk, to board u car and to bend over n desk. Real health means more than the real ability to do the same thing day after day. Real health means a degree of stirring, nerv ous energy that enables one to think new thoughts, conceive new plans nnd Inltluttf new enterprises. Supera bundant nervous cnerg) l back of ex ception mental activity, it Is the basis of, all those qunjltlv" which ure most essential in tno struggle ior suc cess. It is not sufficient to have health that will enable you to do n common place day's work, Hugo Masters writes in Physical Culture. The right kind of health should give you the energy with which to perform fur more than a day's work, If necessary, even from a quantitative standpoint. It Is com monly the raayi with an unlimited ca pacity for work who gets on. Ho Is able to work long hours without tiring. Successful men invnrlnbly enjoy the possession of this degree of nervous endurance or working endurance. But It Is not this that Is most Im portant. The possession of energy Is essential, not so much for the snkv of the enpnetty for long hpurs of work, but on account of the quality of work which It enables one to perform. Quality of effort Is more Important than quantity of work nnd the greatest value of unlimited energy lies In giv ing one the capacity for concentration, the capacity for an Intensity of effort tliut Is beycuid the average man .p "8UMMON8 IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR THE COUNTY OF LANE The Creswell Orchard Company a corporation, Plaintiff. vs. J.
