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

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

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.

The Packers' profits start at the farm. Uncle Sum says
the packers are making too much money; the packers are
busv explaining how little they make on each hog and
how the farmers have benefitted through their combine

and it is dollars to doughnuts that more of the profits
will find their way into the farmers' pockets. Arc you

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.
