E. Hayden, has cost a total of a little more than $7,000,000. Compared with wartime public expenditures, that is an almost infinitesimal sum. It is approximately the same amount as has been spent on the Tulelake Jap segregation center, which has yielded more headaches than profits. But the returns from the investment in the Klamath reclamation project have been EPLEY tremendous. Crop values on the project last year hit $15,000,000, or twice the total project cost over all the years. The Klamath project rates as one of the out standingly successful irrigation enterprises in the .nation. It has not involved the construction of gigantic structures, and therefore it is not .so spectacular (nor expensive) as some other irrigation projects. But it is a dandy. a Leaders OREGON led the nation in per capita sales of war bonds in the Fifth War Loan, and Northern California was SECOND. That's interesting and gratifying news for this state line-straddling basin. The Oregon per capita sales were $38.37. Northern California's figure was $35.18. (Cali fornia was the only state divided for numnspe of this compilation by the treasury department. THEN there was the woman ' who dropped Southern California came in tenth at $31.24.) ' I in0 the office the other afternoon. She'd niumain county cua au ngnt in Oregon, too. Outside of Multnomah county, Klamath was first in the state for E bond sales in excess of quota. We sold $342,000 more than our quota of $989,000. ' Klamath people should not rest on these war bond laurels. This county's August quota is $228,800, and at last reports our sales weren't going too well. Steadjr bond buying is im portant to the purposes of the bond program, from the standpoint of both individual acd national welfare. Our old friend, Myrle Adams, who has given tremendous effort to bond drives since they were started here, will head up the Six War Loan ,( campaign to start in November. The Lions aiiV of which he is past president" will be sponsor of the campaign. , FORGES REACH ST. KIN II. ADVANCES (Continued from Page" One) , Advertising Roundup By A. D. ADDISON THERE'S the old story about the minister of the gospel who came upon an unfortunate motorist struggling to get a tire off its rim. Atter listening to the sul phuric remarks that came from failure to break the tire loose, the minister, in' right eous indignation, gave the mo torist a piece of advise. "My good man, if you'll humbly get down . on your knees and ask the Lord's help, instead of taking His name in vain, you'll get the tire off much more quickly." The man, at the end of 'his rope, did get down on his prayer bones, and then, with one easy pull, the tire came free. The parson, his eyes growing wide, looked for a moment and then muttered, "Well, I'll be durned!" Every now and then we sell an ad to a customer, ad when they tell us the results have to remark, "Well, 1 11 be durned." For instance, a neiehbor sell a couple of bookcases. By the, time I got home thnt nlaht ha'A UJ ! n ' . ., . ,j . : . "u o'a raiis. . j c aa sold both bookcases, for 30 dollars. No wonder the classified section hit a new luBii yesteroay.
