' Just now in Southern Oregon lost time is worse than lost
motion. With the prospect assured of the largest yield of our
chief source of income, Fruit, in the valley this year, and the ne
cessity for hurry in caring for the orchards, with merchants
Uniformly short of help, it is asking too much of our best solicit- 1
ors to put in all their time from patriotic motives in putting over
the Victory Liberty Loan. The people are thinking right alorig "
the lihe of subscriptions. The terms of payment are such that
Subscriptions can be Safely made by all to the limit.
, We .have d very able executive in the State hi Mr. Ether
idgc: .In a wire directed to all outside counties yesta'da', he1 v,
asks1: . "Why. stretch a day's job over three weeks.- We .are ail.
busy men. Let s finish the job and get back to work."" : 5 , . -.. ;,.;, .
ttiThis appeal is directed to all right-minded men and women
bf Jackson County. It will not require an hour to figure out just
what .you can do under the terms of payment of this Victory .
Loan. You, have the rht ideas: about it as not only a patriotic' v
' duty Dut as the best 6? all investments offering today. You in-,1;
tend to put it over. Why not follow Mr. Etheridge's suggestion, .
make a quick job of it and get back to work. . , ' rc ? . '
i, . , ; lt is true that the solicitor's drive does not begin Under the
schedule outlined for action until next Monday. " Every bank hv !
the county is already equipped with application blanks for in-:
starit use.' Why not call.up your banker, make arrangements for
your subscription; the subscription which most men and women
have already made up their mind's to make, and finish the job this
week, in advance of the call. ; , , ... . ; .
' Save the lost time, the lost motion 'which wc need so sadly

of being among those first .over the top. Time was when the men

of the entire const setting the pace for the residents of this valley.
Even though we may have been seourgdd with frost and drought,
arid in no sense the beneficiaries of tho war( let us forget all that,
for the future is brighter iu our loved Rogue Ilivcr Valley than
it has ever been before. Our boys have bobil in tho dark valley of
the shadow of 'death, day after day and week' after week,' '.and
have won undying glory for our favored Btato. Pause to reflect
for a moment how grateful wo should be that the boys vho came
home, camo back as good or better men than When they left, men
. prepared to take up the duties of citizenship ova higher . plan
than our generation has followed mid prepared to make of this
