Boiling and hard rubbing give fabrics that
"washed out" look. They destroy the nap
that marks a garment as new.
The surest way to keep fabrics fresh and dainty is
to wash with Fels-Naptha soap. It cleans without

Try Fels-Naptha next washday. Its savings are more

About Camp Merritt

Lloyd Ivie, son of Mrs. Mao Ivie of
the Capital hotel, who is now with
Company B, Fourth Engineers station
ed at Camp Merritt, New Jersey, writes
that the camp is a fine place and a V.
M. C. A. there that looks just like a
palace.
Th.e people he found quite willing to
how their patriotism as the western
troops passed. He writes; '"Talk about
a reception on tho road as we travel
ed north 1 The people simply went wild
just liko western folks. They appre
ciate what a man is doing for his coun
try." However, It was the eastorn people
that really cheered up the boys. As the
troop trains approached the north the
boys noticed a difference in their re
ceptiou. le writes; "AJl.'the railroad
engines and factory and boat engines
almost wore out their whistles. All the
people in tho factories and for blocks
around came to see us and it choered
up the troopers to beat the band, after
coming from a -place like North -Oaro
liua.
"I saw some of the real tenements
that 1 hov.-j read about. It sure was
awful as the people aro packed in liko
sardines. I saw old women and kids
digging around in the dumps for junk.

Editor of the Journal:
My conscience seems to tell me that

He sprang not from aristocracy, and
aee upon a time, grubbed land at 50
cents a dry. He has had a long time ex
perience at tho state house, seems to be
well liked, has vigor, is bright and intel
lectual. " Alex La Toilette is from our own
neighborhood, a success in all ho under
takes. I would take a contract on voting
for him for years ahead if I thought it
democratic.
In 1907 Mucus and Lachmnnd bought

quired it. An overscrupulous agent
wrote on my shipping bill "40 bales

ho pronounced them all right. T. K. Ford

expect him to be honest. I hope all the

Strains of Bond Flotation
Safely Passed
New York, May 16. The comparative
quietness still ruling at the front sug
gests preparations for a renewed drive
by the enemy against the allies. The
fact that this has not occurred earlier
is proof of the exhaustion which fol
lowed the previous drive, as well as the
difficulties to be overcome in carrying
out the original objective of the German
forces. One thing is quite certain and
that is, that in spite of ground lost by
the Allies in the Somme district, their
morale has not been impaired but has
on the contrary steadily risen, while
that of the Germans has as steadily
fallen. This result is attributable to the
terrific price in lives paid by tho Ger
mans, and to disappointment at their
failure to overcome allied resistance.
Germany is conscious that the chances
of winning this war are rapidly fading
now that American troops are going
across in ever increasing numbers, bee
retary Baker made the significant ad
mission that more than half a million
American soldiers are now in France
ana there is reason for believing that
during 1918 we are likely to have fully
a million over there. German leaders
r.'iuse to admit their doom is sealed,
and in bitterness of spirit they prefer
to wreck everything within reach rath
er than submit to the inevitable. The
longer Germany prolongs the war the
more sever and permanent the self-in
timed disaster will prove. Germany's
rulers brought down upon their couu
try tho bitterest hatred evor conceiv
ed. It was made in Germany, and Ger
many must suffer tlw penalty of its
crime. .
Tue extraordinary success of the
Third Liberty Loan should impress upon
the enemy the utter hopelessness of
carrying on the war. We raised in a few
short woeks nearly $4,000,000,000 in
money contributed by 17,000,000 or
more subscribers. The enthusiasm dis
played in taking the loan far exceeded
all expectations, and must ue interpret
ed as a remarkable demonstration of
American earnestness and unity in the
determination to carry on the war to
a successful conclusion. If the German
peoplo really understood the mind of the
allies, this would would quietly end.
Tho high tide of monetary strain in
cident to the huge loan and extraor
dinary tax payments has Ivjen safely
passed. Buch enormous transactions in
-so-short' a 'pejiod of .tiuio have never
been attempted before in the world's
history, yet the whole operation was
su-.'ceBsfully accomplished with scarcely
a rpple in tho financial district. From
now, on the money market should be
later able to take care of itself and
funds should t.0 less Btringeut until pre
parations aro in order for the next loan
iu the Autumn. At present tho war is
costing at; the raw of approximately
40,000,000 'a day, and this rate of ex
penditure is Jikely to keep up indefin
itely. We aw) still lending large sums
to the allies; the cost of tha war tends
to increase rather than diminish,, and
additional sums will be required for the
shipbuilding drive, since without ships
and more ships the war eannot be suc
cessfully prosecuted.
Industrial activity is being turned
more and more to war essentials, the
Steel trade naturally coming first. With
out steel in abundance, and coal also,
we could not win the war, because it
would be impossible to provide the
necessary ships and munitions without
these primary materials, and without
thorn men and money alono would oe
useless. Of food we have au abundance
for ourselves and plenty to spare for our
allies. The latest crop report suggests
a possible wheat crop of 1,000,000,000
bushels. Tho ivs crop will also bo a
record one. Our farmers are unques
tionably working strenuously to culti
vate rry acre, and secure tho largest
possible yield.
Iu financial circles a mith more nopc-
ful spirit prevails. This is based prim-
auly on the growing conviction of ul
timate Oormun defeat. Along wita the
enthusiasm created by a successful loan j
campaign, courage has risen and op
timism is running stronger than at any
tiu.c since tho war. The spirit of dog
ged resistance to unfavorable factors
is growing. Our people are looking far
ahead in tho era of nroeross which, is
bound to como after the war. In the j
fato of such expectations, minor diffi-.
cuuies do not count. So far as immed
iate affairs are concerned, tho situation
is favorable. Business nctivity is gen
eral, and bank clearings again show
increases over the previous year. Under
sm.li stimulating influences the security
market showed growing activity. The
steel issues naturally responded most
readily, U. S. Sttv;l showing a rise of
Sfvernl points, while the smaller ton
tttns benefited correspondingly. Large
outers placed for rolling stock, engines
and cars, stimulated interest in tb.o se
cuiilies affected, and move Mteiition
was given to the railroads which arc
ii.w under shelter of the government
umbrella. There is no long,er doubt about
recent dividend rates being maintained,
and earnings are already recovering un
dor the restoration of traffic to more
normal ruuditions. Heavy iuereafv'S in
wages are in prospect, costing between
$200,000,000 and $300,000,000, and to
meet these increased outlays the govern
ment is likely to advance rates at an
.?arly date about 20 to 30 per cent. Thus
far the government has cleared up the
congestion which broke down transpor
tation Inst winter; has planned for immediate-
rolling stock; has proposed an
iuerenso in wages, and U contemplating
advance in rates, Wto it completes
theso great pinna, ami makes arrange
ments t'ir better and simpler routing,
it will have solved at least temporarily
s.'venil jrcat trans-virtation problems.
The goyernu .-iit s:ill hs to make its j
contract with the railrosds; and it is
somewhat uufortunate that the no-
friendly spirit of the Interstate Com
merce Commission is an adverse factor
in these negotiations. Government oper
ation of the railroads is now on trial.
Circumstances are in its favor to an
extraordinary degree, and great conse
quences depend upon its success or fail
ure as a huge experimnt.
In the bond market there has been
a fair degree of activity, attention be
ing devoted ehiefly to foreign issues
and some of the low priced domestic is
sues, which fell to very low prices be
cause of long neglect and the current
high rates for money. There is no ques
tion but that many of our best issues
put out by railroads, industrials, as
well as public service and municipal ob
ligations, are selling at very low prices
compared with values in other direc
tions. War inflation long ago forced
commodities and wages to excessively
high k-vels. In securities there has been
practically no such inflation, and some
sort of equalization is inevitable. Eith
c? commodities and wages must decline
or investments must appreciate; and
just at present it seems as if eveuing
up would be an easier process than
leveling-down. At the same time the
outlook is fuJi of unusual preplexities;
for the strain af war threatens to be
long and Severn Reverses may happen
a: any period, and all commitments ex
tending into the iatiire should be made
with exacting care. Tho demands of war
atv sure to ktvep tie money market in
more or less stringiint condition. While
fie outlook is hojicJui and optimism is
ii ng. conservative action will still be
necossary.

SPEAKS FOB MB. SIMPSON.
Portland, Or., May 7, 1918.
I wish to say in regard to ilr. L. J.
Simpson that I have knoTii him for
tho last thirty years, and know ho is the
man to be i.lie governor of the State
of Oregon. As far as I know he will re
ceive the majority of the votes in our
district, because lvi is a man, aud from
what I have heard (and know pretty
well) he will carry the whole of Coos
county and sweep it clean, as they have
known him so long and know that ho
has always been a man for tlte people.
(I 'cannot explain everything I would
like ,'o os I am a poor hand at that.)
I. also knew Mr. Simpson's father.
Years ago I ran tho stage in the Coos
country and drove the "old man" and
"Louie" over the road many times, so
know them i both very well personally.
Mr. L. J. Simpson is well endorsed
down there. Ho is for tho laboring cluss
aud considered the man for the labor
ing class in that part of the country;
all ,havo endorsed him. He must be a
pretty good man when the whole com
munity is back of him, and have en
dorsed him.
I am a farmer; at the present time
retired, ond own property down there.
i have no sons but have three daugh
ters. I have lived 24 years a. ElktoH;
was. raised in Coos county.
I happen to be in Portland at the
present tinws subpoenaed on the federal
jury, and I am only too glad to let- tho

of my district think of Mr. L. J. Simpson.

haps a little beyond their prime ia
vears, but yet with sufficient manly
vigor to make a good showing at their
old calling.
I saw others who would make suc
cess as teamsters or with pitchforks,
and still others who werj experienced
engineers or machine men, and practic
ally all willing, and aaxious to "do
their bit", and I said to myself:
"Here is the raw material from which
to form the harvest crews to insure the
saving of the crops of 1918."
But you say: "Somebody will have to
fill tha" of fiees -liese mru are seeking."
In answer to that, I would reply:
"There is not an officer in eity,
county or state, from ITmted States sen
ator or governor down to the humblest
in the gift of the people, hat could ud
be filled as well as it is now, or ever
has heen, by some bright, capable
woman of Oregon. Let us turn over
every office to the woman, don our over
alls and save the crops.
Wo older men can do far more good
in this way than we could were we in
the front ba:tle L!u on the sh,oll-swept
fields of France.
Let us ask our good old Uncle Sam
to furnish us, commandeering it if nec
essary, a first class threshing outfit,
and we will do the rest. Wo will hoist
"Old Glory" above it, and proceed to
make history.
Most of us would Hk, to be remem
bered by future generations for the good
we do here, and while the suggestions
I have made are a livtle out of the or
dinary routine, I predict that the men
who sacrifice official position or po
litical ambition to serve their country
in this capacity, will be remembered
as long as civilization endures, nnd un
til acts of patriotic devotion, and moral
courage cease to stir the hearts of men.
Tho kodaks of the world would be
turned loosw, and all the great maga
zines would embellish their pages with
pictures of the scenes.
Our aviators could flood the enemy
country with thousands of thosa pictures
and let their oppressed people see the
contract between western democratic
civilization, and autocratic barbarism.
Let us throw our shoulders buck and
ncnew our proud boast that "Oregon
flies with her own wings."
Fall in! Forward march!"

ON SHIPPING- POTATOES

To the Editor:
Every patriot in this state, has, no

efforts to feed our peoplo at home, aud
ur boys and the allies in the trenches
would not miscarry when an idea occur
red to me, that if it could be put into
practice, would go very far toward
solving the difficult problem.
I had been in your city a few days
