Obeying the orders of the Post office Department, no papers can be sent to subscribers after October 1st unless the subscription is paid In advance. Neither can any free copies be sent nor exchanges be made be tween papers unless the subscription has been paid. A publisher is also prohibited from furnishing free copies fo ad vertisers for proof of publication, except in the case of legal advertis ing. These orders are promulgated by the Government in order to conserve the paper supply, and the publisher has no discretion Is the matter. Just as fast as possible we shall mall out statements to our subscri bers, and by prompt reply you will not miss any clpies on accocunt of delinquency. This means the placing of our list on a cash-in-advance basis, which Is better for the paper and the subscriber. Will you please respond promptly upon receiving your state ment, for we know you want the paper and certainly we wish to keep you on the list. Remember the newspapers are doing their patriotic duty, and Just now their struggle is not altogether easy. This paper has been compelled, In order to meet the ascending scale of prices in all lines, to advance its subscription price 50 cents on the year. This is hardly sufficient per cent in raise to meet the require ments but it will have to suffice You appreciate our situation, and you will not hesitate to give us a lift, that we may be able to maintain our present standard of efficiency. DO YOUR SHARE. Although the sheer weight of America's millions of troops will be sufficient to crush the Hun back of the Rhine and batter down upon the Kaiser's ears the remnants of the world crown he thought to wear, It is not the numbers, but typical American mobility, which has saved the day for the entente thus far. Wilhelm and the German General Stac, admitting the gigantic re sources of the United States, made the error of calculating in years in stead of weeks the time necessary for the shaping of those resources for war purposes. The day that we entered the war, scores of our fleet destroyers sped east across the Atlantic. To a ship, they reported upon arrival at British naval bases, "Ready for action." When continued losses by sub marines seemed likely to make good the German threat to starve Eng land, Schwab turned a hundred ship yards loose on a shipbuilding pro gram such as the wildest optimist had not dreamed possible. American railroad men built 2000 miles of track in France; hundreds of huge warehouses were erected; mountains of food, munitions and other supplies were landed. When the German masses, re leased from all Eastern fronts, began their ominous drive through Picardy, American troops, months in advance even of the hurry-up American pro gram, began to pour through the "hannel gateways, and the Hun was held, then driven back. Thus American ability to con centrate quickly its war efforts on any given point on the enemy line has foiled every Hun attempt whether by sea or land. A really great demonstration of this American faculty will be given in the Fourth Liberty Loan. Con fronted with the necessity of raising a war loan of twice the size of any of Its epoch-making predecessors, we are called upon to finish the task 5n three weeks. Only for the full and united nffort of every man, woman and child In the United States can this great feat be completed in the time set. It is as certain that it will be completed successfully as that the grim courage uf America on French battlefields will continue to batter back the Hun. j Be sure to do YOUR share. Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign opens September 28th. . Oregon will report "Over The Top" in the Fourth Liberty Loan on morning of September 28. Mor row county is already moving to the front line and will be there promptly on time. i-i j With The Journal In the effort to nd delinquent advertising in Oregon are thousands of taxpayers who are tired of the waste and are urging The Journal to speak for them in securing a change. The effort of the Oregonian to convey the impression ' that. The Journal alone wants the ex travagance abolinhed is known to be iunk by all the thousands of taxpay ers who want the wast ended. They kave taxes enough without being taxed to pay heavy and useless de linquent advertising Mils. Portland Journal. Just as if the Journal man ens one red sou what the taxpayers of Oregon have to dig up. ThJ paper. In its effort to down the coantry press of Oregon, is bow s&mMSds crocodile tears for the "poor tax payer" and has become all at ones a great champion of the dtowntroe'dea.

Store Both are fundamentally false In meaning. They should be sent to the scrap heap of rubbish and supplanted by "Buy until it helps" and "Give until it helps." Do not for one moment valn gloriously think that this means until It helps the country or the Red Cross or the Y. M. C. A. organiza tions. It means buy or give until it helps you and gives you a clearer understanding of your responsibility. "Buy until it helps" you by broad ening your vision of the war and the struggle to save civilization. Buy Liberty Bonds not out of the surplus which you can spare without feeling. Buy not merely because the pur chase of Liberty Bonds Is strengthen ing the nation's power to fight. But buy because your soul needs the quickening influence of a wider conception of liberty and humanity and civilization. And the more freely you buy the greater will be the enobling of your own soul. You I will be helping yourself, and In that ; way you will at the same time be j helping the nation and civilization. Buying Liberty Bonds is to save : your wife, your mother, your daugh j ter, from the last degradation which I women can suffer, as In Belgium and 'France, and to save your property .and your nation from destruction, j It is no act of charity to buy Liberty Bonds. It Is merely con tributing a moiety out of your ability,, great or small as It may be, for the purchase of the engines to stop the conflagration which, having swept over much of the world, Is sweeping directly toward your house, and you must save your house by your own work, or else recreantly throw upon, your neighbors the responsibility of saving you, while you stand off and shirk your duty. W. R. Irwin and family returned on last evening from Rockaway, Ore gon, where they have been spending the summer at their seaside cottage. A. L. Ayers and wife returned on Wednesday from an outing at the coast and Portland. s -ana We take pleasure in an nouncing that we have secured The Palmer Garment CT"HERE have been times when it seemed impossible to secure merchandise, especially merchandise of quality, good enough for our cus tomers. But you will notice when you see the new Palmer Garment that we have made ample prepara tions to supply you with coats in the quality to which you are accustomed at the lowest possible price. Thomson Brothers The technicalities of tire con struction do not interest you. It isn't what goes into a tire, but what comes out of it, that counts. KeUypringfield Tires go their guaranteed distance on the road-' not over the adjustment counter, and 700ft 8000 or 10,000 miles on the highway is a com- mon Kelly-Springfield performance.
