THE VICTORY
The Victory bond issue should be quickly subscribed
for by the public. It used to be that government bond
issues were sold through the great Wall street banking
houses and the interest-bearing debt of the nation was
mainly owed to the very rich people who took the bonds
off the hands of the bankers, feeling that while the inter
est rate was low, the loan was safe because the United
States was back of it. And there has been considerable
dissatisfaction over the fact that the nation was always
paying interest to the millionaires of Wall street and their
associates.
But the order has changed. The government now
offers its bonds to the people in denominations so low that
anybody can buy. Installment payments make it still
easier to become a bondholder. The interest rate, too, is
materially higher than upon any of the peace-time bond
issues, all of which eventually sold above par in the open
market.
If Wall street gets the forthcoming Victory bond
issue, it will be only because the people refuse to take it
They are given the first chance.
Patriotism and business-sense alike are relied upon to
sell these bonds. They are issued to meet the expenses in
curred in a war waged for humanity and freedom; a
struggle in which our free institutions and the free insti
tutions of every other liberal government were at stake;
the triumph of militarism in Europe would have meant
the downfall of democracy throughout the world.
Therefore every man and every woman who loves
our country and its institutions should be willing to go
the limit in assisting to pay the expenses incurred by the
successful fight against autocracy.
The fact that this issue bears 4 H-4 per cent, for par
tially tax exempt notes, convertible into : 3-4 per cent
notes wholly tax exempt, mikes the investment n partic
ularly attractive one. No risks are taken by the investor
and thc net interest return is remunerative. These se
rnrii u s; should anneal stronclv to every person who has
money to invest, or who wishes to save money by putting u'..Nt.vl.r
small' amounts awav in investments that are safe and'.nnvn'n.o,
brin.tr an assured income.
The Victory loan will not be large as we view finan
cial matters now four and a half billions, and it will be
the last money called for to meet the expenses of war.

THE TUMBRIL.
My car has stood in solemn state Mnce winter came
to pass; but now that winter's pulled its freight, and pen
ile spring is at thc gate, it's time to burn some gas- This
morning to the barn I stept, and looked the tumbril o'er,
where it through long long months has slept; and then I
fcat me down and wept; my tears splashed on the floor. I
lioped to swell my meager roll when winter days were
done; I said, "In spring a patient soul won't have to blow
himself for coal, and so he saves some mon. In winter
time he has no chance to salt away a home; he's always
digging from his pants the wherewithal to feed his aunts, (
Lnd buy thc children pone." And now that spring is here,
das, extinguished are hope's fires; my bank account will
cut no grass; I'll have to buy up oil rnd gas. and costly
tubes and tires. My bumboat must be overhauled by skill
ed and gifted gents; and when they have it fixed and doll
ed, and with their little bills have called, I won't have!
twenty cents. For bank accounts all sane men crave, but
they are hard to get; we're

GIVE THEM
An expert who has made considerable study of eco
nomic questions believes that poor bread is responsible
for most social disturbances.
The food of the very poor, among whom crime and
unrest breed most freely, consists largely of bread. The
poorer they are the more bread they eat and the less of
other things. Mneh of th's bread is sour, soggy, indiges
tible stuff, too sadly suggestive of that ironic scriptural
query: "If a man ask for bread, will ye give him a stone?"
Poor food means digestive troubles, and digestive
troubles mean irritable tempers. For no man can be at
peace with the world whose stomach is at war with him.
It is no unusual thing among the well fed to exper
ience a sleepless night and a following trying, aggravating
day because one article of food proved undigestible.
r , . . i . , i .i .1
Make this occassional disturbance a daily thing;
make it a matter not of one
ated from a varied diet, but the sole food of an entire
day and for days at a time; make this not an individual
ease but the rule of millions of cases, and one arrives at
a sudden understanding of what poor bread is doing
daily to the human and social system.
''Give them good bread", is a slogan not to be laugh
ed at or despised.
Japanese are peeved because the peace conference
will not grant them racial equality. That seems to be a
matter entirely out of the hands of the peace envoys or
any other earthly power.
One good reason why there is no great "army of un
employed" present or prospective in this country is that
the immigrant labor supply has been checked for several
years. ,

any particular. Miss bhirley, of Wil

speaking under Prof. Crowder Miller.
II ltd she been as carefully trained ia

representative from Pacifie university
took first place in composition. Among
the ifirst four orations there r.aa a dif
ference of only one point, and among
these was Willamette, which for tho
past two years hss taken high place
in delivery. As if was, Miss Shirley
