'These bins will be shipped to all wheat-growing sections of the country," he said. . (The state AAA office In Cor vallis announced today that wooden grain bins manufactured in Klamath Falls are now avail able to Oregon wheat growers through the Commodity Credit corporation, n. w. uonatason. AAA executive assistant, said that county AAA offices have now been authorired to take or ders for such bins for later de livery. (He said that growers using these or other farm bins will re ceive a storage advance of seven cents per bushel if such wheat is placed under - loan following harvest. If the loan Is renewed an additional five cents allow ance is made. (Donaldson said that as not enough pre-fabrlcated bins will wfi avat,auls, growers ars urged to build their own where pos sible.) - Lorenz said that shingles and hardware will be shipped to Sprague River where they will be trans-shipped with other sec tions of the bins, most of which will bo constructed at the Crater Lake Box and Lumber company there. He said that the Crater Lake firm will devote its entire plant to bin construction as soon as present orders are filled. The switchover will require some new notching machinery which is being built by the Klamath Iron works. Lorenz stated that although the changeover will not require much added labor, some more help will be needed. He urged that men seeking jobs apply at the Sprague River plant An Indication of the project's size, he said, may be found In the fact that 75 carloads of shingles will be needed. RUBBER PILE SET Klamath Falls' huge scrap rubber pile today shot over the 300,000-pound goal set for it and boomed steadily toward a new 350,000-pound goal set by R. O. Snodgrass, chairman of the local drive. In oil d e a 1 e r s' yards last night were 320,000 pounds of old tires, doormats, seat cush ions, inner tubes and a thousand other household Items. Meanwhile final plans were shaped for tomorrow's com bined "treasure hunt" and Boy Scout truck drive to digest every last piece of household scrap rubber possible. Oil dealers' trucks, commanded by scouts, will begin to roll through each city street, alley and byway at 1 p. m. to collect scrap which citizens are urged to find in their attics, basements and clos ets in a morning intra-house treasure hunt." Scouts will sell the rubber to oilmen for $20 per ton. Dealers in turn will sell the rubber to the government for $25 per ton with all profits going to the United Service organizations, the army and navy relief and the Red Cross. - Tomorrow's drive will virtu ally wind up the two-week cam paign although It will not offi cially be over until June 30.

Editorials on News (Continued From Page One) It will go to the senate Monday, where it will pass probably unanimously. Whatever else happens In this war, there will be no lack of U. S. APPROPRIATIONS. What ever money is needed will be PROVIDED. IT S. cost of the war to date is VJ 208 billion dollars. What it will be by the time the war ends, nobody knows. Nobody is even guessing. Whatever it is. we are going to FINANCE it The only SAFE way to finance the war is to deny ourselves and PAY TAXES AND BUY BONDS. Any other way will mean inflation of the sort that will leave everything you own, Including the money in your pocket, valueless. As in Germany after the last war. CINANCING a war is easy. r Doing it without an ENSU ING TERRIBLE HEADACHE is the hard job. It is a job that has to be done the hard way. Generally speaking, the more taxes we pay NOW, the more bonds we buy NOW, the more things we DO WITHOUT NOW the milder the headache will be later. Unless you are willing to do the mental drudgery necessary to gain an understanding .of the fundamental principles of eco nomics, you must accept this statement on FAITH. It is UNDENIABLY true. CO buy bonds. Buy all you can " lay hands on the money to pay for. You'll be saving your country and doing yourself a good turn at the same time. YOU may still ask this ques- tion: "Where will I get the money?" Here is the plain and simple answer: By DOING WITHOUT a lot of the things you've been ac customed to. How can we expect other na tions to respect our government if our own people are continual ly ridiculing, criticizing and be littling one of the three branches of government particularly the branch most representative of the-people?
