THERE are two very excellent reasons
why you, should place your order for a
Paige Linwood "SiX'39" immediately.
First, the present volume of orders, from all
sections of the country, indicates that we
shall not be able to supply more than one
third of the demand for this car.
Second, the scarcity and steadily advancing
cost of manufacturing materials, can result
in only one thing a price higher than

The Lumberman About It I
Federal Government is Appealing
With Great Success for the En.
listment of Boys in the Uni
ted States Boy's Work
ing Reserve.
"Your Country needs you."
This appeal from the federal gov
ernment is meeting with the phenom
enal success in the enlistment of boys
under 21 years of age who desire to
serve their country in the most com
mendable way possible.
The enlistment of a boy intlie
working reserve means only that he
has a desire to be of use to his
country and government and is tak
ing the means offered by that coun
try and government so express him
self. The farmer boy who helps his fath
er cultivate his acres need not leave
the home place in order to receive
the credit due him for patriotic ser
vice. A boy so situated Bhould fill
out an enlistment blank and state at
the bottom of same that he is em
ployed on his father's ranch and he
will be given the same credit as if
he had enlisted in the army or had
gone away from home to serve his
country in the same or some other ca
pacity. It Is the intention of the govern
ment employment service, which has
charge of the assignment work to
place as many of the town boys as
near to their homes as possible and it
is only the excess enlistment of the
neighborhood having more help than
it needs that will be sent to other
districts where there is a shortage
of helpers in the harvest.
"Your country needs you," is an
appeal to the boys to be patriotic and
to enable them to show that they
have been patriotic because they
have served Uncle Sam in gathering
a harvest that is the most important
one ever gathered by the American
farmer.

A FINAL WORD ON
ROADEOND BILL
Provides Immediate Construc
tion of Permanent Highways
Without Increasing Taxes.
Much has been said in opposition to
the good roads bond bill that has no
bearing whatever on the measure and
which could be designed only to poi
son and prejudice the voters against it.
That being the case, the following per
tinent facts are submitted for the in
formation and thoughtful considera
tion of the impartial voter on the eve
of the special election June 4th:
This road bond bill proposes the Is
suance of 18,000,000 twenty-five year
four per cent bonds for the construc
tion of a system of state-wide hard
surfaced highways. The roads to be
Improved are designated in the bill
and Include the main-traveled roads
throughout the state.
Adequate revenue has been provided
by statute for paying both interest
and principal and retire the bonds at
maturity without Increasing taxes.
The money derived from the increased
automobile licenses and the existing
quarter-mill state road tax will pay
thq interest and retire the bonds and
leave a substantial balance tor the
construction of other roads not enum
erated in the bond bill.
The increased automobile license
and the state road tax are provided by
statutes now in effect and will have
to be paid regardless of whether or
not the road bonds are voted at the
special election June 4th.
The automobile owner It willing to
pay the Increased license. AH that he
asks is that the license money, which
has to be paid anyway, be expended in
constructing the roads proposed in the
bend bill. The automobile owner will
provide all of the money necessary to
meet the Interest charges and retire
the bonds. He fails to see why there
should be any opposition to the ex
penditure of the money so provided In
the construction of good roads, in view
of the fact that it is bis money that
will pay for the Improvements.
All of the money raised from the
bonds will be expended under the di
rection of the State Highway Commis
sion, appointed by Governor Withy
conibe. The Commission has announc
ed that in expending the fund all sec
tions of the state will be considered
impartially. A dollar's worth of road
construction for every dollar expended
is guaranteed by the Commissioners,
who have declared that they will pur
chase one or more paving plants and
lay paving unless satisfactory bids are
submitted by paving contractors. Or
dinary common-sense business princi
ples will also govern the Commission
ers in their work of road building.
Scarcity of labor and the reasonable
ness of war-time prices for materials
will determine the time for inaugurat
ing work and the scope of actual road
construction. Road building will not
be undertaken by the Commission un
less conditions are favorable.
Approval of the road bond bill Juno
4th will be an indorsement of a plan
that insures for the state the construc
tion of a system of hard-surfaced roads
with funds already provided by law
and without increasing other taxes.
Vote 314 X YES and help "Pull Ore
gon Out of the Mud."
There will he nn rpHiiftlnn nn w.

PROVIDES GOOD ROADS
WHERE MOST NEEDED
I am for the road bond Issue be
cause I believe it will give U3 of Ore
gon good roads and at places where
we have not good roads now, and
where we need them most. There is
only one plan before us by which we
may obtain some really good and serv
iceable roads and that is the present
scheme of permitting the state to sell
$6,000,000 in four per cent serial bonds
to be redeemed , both in principal and
interest by the revtnue derived from
a state tax on automobiles. If we do
not adopt this plan we of Oregon will
continue as we have already continued
too long, with poorly drained, wretch
edly located and miserably surfaced
roadB, impassable in winter and im
practical and expensive at all times.
Rufus C. Holman, President of State
Association of County Judges and
County Commissioners.
WHAT GOOD ROADS
MEAN TO MOTORISTS
Every motorist has observed how his
car accelerates when he goes from an
unimproved road to a stretch of hard
surfaced; but he may not realize bow
large a saving of power and gasoline
that acceleration represents. If he
were to travel over a hard even sur
face habitually instead of .over the
average country road, his gasoline bill
would be greatly reduced. A motorist
In Mississippi has figured out that
hard-surfaced roads in his community
save him $30 per year in the gasoline
consumed by a single car.
In the face of these facts, is there
any possible reason why every auto
mobile owner should not vote for the
$6,000,000 good roads bond bill'
Poor roads are very expensive things
for country communities. The farmer
who thinks ti.at improved highways
are mainly for the benefit of those
who drive automobiles should reflect
on the result of a recent investigation
by the Department of Agriculture,
which finds that the cost of hauling
farm produce over ordinary country
roads is 23 enta a ton, whereas over
hard-surfaced roads it Is only 13 cents.
