OREGON VICTORY LOAN
VICTORY LOAN" note at par is worth more to in-
veslors than the bonds of preceding Liberty Loan
issues "net." The net income from a Victory Loan note
costing Sioo.cxj is greater than that derived by an investor
who buys the bonds of the preceding issue at a discount.
This fact is shown by the following statement which has
just been issued by Robert K. Smith, executive manager of
the Oregon Victory Loan committee.
"That Victory Bonds will remain at or above par
in the open market is clearly demonstrated by figures
compiled by Government bond experts. These figures
show that a $ioo Victory Bond for $ioo is a better
investment than a $ioo bond of the Fourth Liberty Loan
'or $93- 'ts prevailing price in the open market.
"The prevailing rate of interest on the stock ex
change is 4.70 per cent. That is to say, the average an
nual interest on $100 is $470. For this reason a 4x2 Lib
city Bond of $100 denomination which yields in interest
only $4.25 per year is sold at sufficient discount on the
stock exchange to yield the purchaser $4.70 per year on
the purchase price. $93 at 4.70 percent interest will yield
$4.25 per year. Therefore, a $100 bond whose annual
yield is only $4.25 sells on the stock exchange for $93.
"In the Fifth or Victory Loan the Government de
termined to offer a security which would surely remain
at par in the open market. It therefore placed the rate of
interest on these new securities at a higher rate than that
which prevails on the stock exchange. Whereas the pre
siding rate f interest is 4.70 per cent, the new bonds
(called Victory Notes) bears 4.75 per cent interest.
"To express this differently: Suppose a man offer
ed you two bonds. In his left hand he offered ym a $100
Liberty Bond of the Fourth Issue which he would' sell for
ip93. In his right hand he offered you a $100 bond of
I he Fifth or Victory Issue for $100. You should buy the
If 1 00 Victory Bond for $100, because each one of these
one hundred dollars which you invest in the Victory Bond
will earn 4.75 cents per year, while each of the ninety
three dollars which you pay for the Liberty Bond of the
Fourth Issue will earn you only 4.70 cents per year."

It was ruining that morning am a
Kruy pall of ennui seemed to hang
over Cissy's empty day that stretched
ahead. Of course, she should not have
felt bored with so many things to do
dusting, cleaning, sewing, all the tasks '
demanded by the care of her brother
Tom's new house. ISut she was bored.
Girls of twenty-two want more than
household tasks to dream of, and more
thnn blank gray landscapes to look
out upon.
Tom's house was a new and attrac
tive on", built at the very edge of a
new "addition."
Cls.' y stopped to lean upon her broom
and wipe nway a tear as she gazed out
at the flat prospect. If only some
thing would happen ! Anything to
break the monotony. She strained her
eyes to look down the road that led
toward the city. If someone would
even drive past It would he something.
And she looked as she saw the faint
speck of an approaching automobile.
It was a miserable day to be abroad,
the roads were deep with mud and
puddles. Hut the low yellow racer
came on at a good pace, 'apparently
dlsrcgardiiiK anything so trivial as the
weal her.
"Why, It's Morton Sims' car!" Cissy
said aloud to herself. "I wonder what
he's doing out here." '
Morton Kims was the brother of
Tom's hancee. Cissy had met him once
or twice In town.
He K"t out and pulled and puffed ; he
got in again and tried to over-rld I
Knfe; he ;;ot behind and tried to push,
but the car stuck last. Cissy watched.
In a growing Mutter of interest and
determination.
"If lie can't get It out," she mur
mured to herself, "perhaps he'll we.pt
to come In hi re to 'phone or something.
I ought to ask him to." Very shyly
she opened the front door and called
to him.
"Von seem to be stuck," she said.
"Would you like to come in and 'phone
for another car to pull you out?"
"Why, Miss Morrow I" he exclaimed,
turning from Ids Inspection of the yel
low car. "I didn't know that you lived
here! Yes, I do seem to be stuck fast,
and I should like to use your 'phone,
If you don't mind."
The 'phone was In the hall, and Cissy
fluttered back to the fire while he used
It.
"They can't send out another car for
an hour or so," lie explained. "I don't
want to he n nuisance, Miss Morrow.
I'm nfrald "
"Oh, you must stay here by the fire!"
she exclaimed quickly. "You look
soaked through now. Why do you
drive on such an awful day, any
how?" lie laughed a little bitterly.
"Ilecause I was bored. This Is a hol
iday, yon know, and the office Is closed,
nnd my moms are awfully bleak and
gloomy on ti day like this. A fellow
gets lonely sometimes."
"Yes, I know," site assented quickly,
and Mien there fell an odd silence be
tween Ihetn.
"You have a pleasant place here,"
he commented. "It's Tom's, I suppose.
Christine has told me about It, but I
never knew exactly where It was.
Christine Is awfully In love with your
brother."
"Of course! Who wouldn't be?" she
laughed hack. "And Tom Is awfully In
love with your sister, too. And o
am I."
"I'm sure you'll get on loneUier." I
"Oh, yes, but I shan't stuy with
llicn. It wouldn't he right. Young
married people ought to have their
h uiies to themselves. I shall go away."
"Where?" he asked, ns If It were a I
n: " t of vital concern to hlin. 1
"oh, I don't know yet. To be a
nurse, perhaps, or a teacher."
Clssy'g eye were on the lire, and
she did not know that he wns watch- I
Ing her. noting the little quiver of her j
chin as the spoke.
"Oh. I wouldn't do that," he urged I
I a Utile awkwardly. "Nurses have an
I awfully hard time, and I can't Imagine j
I jrou as a teacher. There's Just one '
thing that you ouht to do, and that
! is-- .
"What?" risy thnujht she kne-r I
I what he was going to say. and her , I
j color deepened. jj
I 10t ought to be keeping a house I
, of your own, and making It look like 1
j this one. You ought to he married." '
I "Oil. of course." site lunched. 'That f
j Is what they sny of every girl " ,
j "Yes, but yell are different. y,m
haven't known me very long. 'ly. but
I I have felt, ever since (Juit duy that ;

Cy could not look nwnjr front the
fire; her eye were too full of tnl.t and
