Opening of the Victory Loan campaign in Oregon signalizes the close of the drive as well. This is as it should be. Subscription to the loan is the duty of the individual, and it should not be necessary when the government offers its war bonds for soliciting committees to devote effort to obtaining the subscription. The privilege of American citizen ship is one that has been sought by millions of immigrants from othei lands where the door of opportunity was closed. In the land of the free they have found equal opportunity with every other citizen and most of them have been content to become a part of the government of their adoption. But to the person for tunate enough to have been born an Americon citizen, the obligation of United States during the last five weed. months. The Pacific coast counties are It was indeed a eause for rejoicing mighty interested in the passage of when the Victory Loan quota was the measure known as the Roose announced by the Treasury Depart- velt highway bill providing for the ment that the total was 25 less building of a north and south high than had been anticipated. The 'way along the Pacific coast, the ease with which the financial ability . bonds not to be issued unless of the American people enables them to absorb this loan is eloquent of the power of the nation. LET I S SUPPORT IT. All Eastern Oregon will be inter ested in the proposed constitutional amendment to be voted on at the special election on June 3, and known as State Bond Payment of Irrigation and Drainage District Bond Interest. The purpose of this amendment, as stated in the ballot title, is the payment by the State of irrigation and drainage district bond interest for first five years by issuing state bonds and repayment of money with interest to state by such dis tricts, six months after maturity of such bonds, on condition that such districts are found on examination by State Commission to comply with required conditions. Eastern Oregon will need all the support they can get to put' this amendment over, and they should reach out after it. The Coast Counties are greatly in terested in the Roosevelt Coast Mil itary Highway Bill, and through the Roosevelt Highway Association are asking the support of Eastern Ore- duty to country is inherent. The opening of the. fifth and last of the gon for this measure government war loans closes the i It is up to us to give this highway date for settling the individual ob- measure our support and thereby ligations that the gevsmffignt has 'gain the support of the Coast assumed for the people jn (rdf ' counties for the bond interest pay the accumulating costs of the flgsijre.

Since the signing ofj The Enterprise at Vale, Malheur the armistice there have been many 'county, gives expression on this divisiMs f America forces re-1 matter as follows; matched by a special appropriation from congress. The measure will not cost the State much and will greatly benefit the isolated people of the coast counties, who now have to wait until the fog settles in order to travel their roads. Let Eastern Oregon boost for and vote for Roosevelt Highway in re turn we will graciously receive the support of the coast sections for the Interstate Guarantee bill. To Have New Road Machine. While below the past week, inter viewing the State Highway Commis sion, Judge Campbell ordered a new piece of road building machinery for the county, to be shipped upon six days' approval. From the descrip tion we get of this machine, it is built after the fashion of a Fresno scraper but on a much larger scale, and in the making of grades and fills it will be the means of saving much money to the county. The machine will be used in cutting out many of the rises and dips along the roads and will be propelled by the big county cat. Judge Campbell went to Salem, where he saw one of the machines at work and it is his opinion that it will prove a good ad dition to the road working machinery the county already has. turned home, but with the ceasing of Futilities other and different de marids for ocean tonnage and heAVy Eastern Oregon is mighty inter ested in the passage of the special measure to be voted on at the corn- expenses were involved in the clos-' ing election to be held on June 3rd, ing of great munition and other in-! known as the Irrigation Interest dustries.

THE MINTS OF THE FARM; ARE THE BARN AND THE $ILO ' The farmer knows that the winter months ans profit times. While his lands are idle after crops are harvested and sold, his livestock is putting on flesh that means dol lars and cents either in the shape of marketable meat, wool or milk, or strength for next year's work. The more comfortable the animas are kept in the win ter time the less feed they will require and if the $ilo is well filled and kept in good condition the out-lay will not be noticeable. If you are not right with your animals, tret right with them without further delay, build that barn and $ilo now.
