JOURNAL Is the only newspaper in Balem whoce circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations WAR BONDS AND GOOD TIMES. "If the Fifth Liberty loan is sold to all the people, we will have good times. If workers or buyers hold back and force the loan upon the banks, we will have dull times." This statement, made by the head of one of the big Victory loan committees, hits the nail on the head. The reasoning is simple enough. The bonds will have to be taken by somebodythe government has already spent nearly all the money, and must have it to maintain .the credit and honor of the nation and to pay further war bills. If the people don t take the bonds, the banks will have to take them. The banks can do it if necessary, but that would tie up so much of their funds that they would have little money left to advance to businessmen for pur poses of general industry and trade. Such a tightening of credit would mean hard times. Times are a little dull now, at least in some sections of the country. Nobody wants them to grow any duller. The way to assure good times is for everybody rich and poor and in between to buy bonds as we bought them when the war was at its height. ARARAT AND THE LEAGUE. Why not choose Mount Ararat, now the center of the Armenian republic, as a seat for the League of Nations? It's history is suggestive. It was on its summit that Noah's faithful dove dis played that olive leaf, first emblem of peace returning to a storm-tossed world. Upon its top the Ark with its motley crew came to rest, and there begun the re-adjusting of family and po litical life, doubtless with many a sacrifice of individual sovereignty for the sake of longivity. Undoubtedly Ararat should be the seat of the League. Should Armenia become a mandating protege of America, that would mean American jurisdiction for the League capital an honor which should appeal to every patriot. And think of the joy of the anti-saloon laegue at such a consummation! For has not Ararat come down to us through all the ages, praised and remembered because out of all the submerged world, it alone was dry territory. Some of the heirs are bringing suit to break the will of the late Portland publisher, H. L. Pittock, who left an estate valued at nearly $8,000,000. And whether the will is broken or not the lawyers and judges will see to it that the estate is pretty generally distributed before they let go. As a method ol distribution of large accumulations of property litigation has the inheritance tax beaten beyond comparison. J Ladnnnnd $ Somehow, in spite of all his talk about "betraying France" and forsaking Italy, its pretty hard for an Ameri can to see why the United States should aid and abet our Allies in annexing territory that is not French or Italian. We are not in the business of ."bartering peoples about from sovereignty to sovereignty." RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt MaSon NOAH'S ARK. It is hard to write a packet of the verse that man en joys, when the house is full of racket, full of fifty kinds of noise. Oh, the boys and girls assemble in the shack wherein I dwell, making that old structure tremble, while they whoop around and yell. Then I think of Father Noah and his cargo in the ark, of his warthog and his boa, and his large man eating shark. I appreciate his feelings while he tried to do his chores, 'mid the yappings and the pquealings and the whinnyings and roars. When he tried to give instructions to his helpers, Shcm and Ham, some old bull was raising ructions, scrapping witli the South down ram. It is strange that Father Noah found an hour in which to sleep wh'le he steered his air cooled proa o'er the wide and wailing deep. For the horses all were neigh ing and he heard hyenas croon, and thi mules were doubt less brayinng, all their voices out of tune; and the roost ers did their crowing, just as though they were on land, and the cows were bawling, lowing, in a style to beat the band. Yet there is no record written that old Noah made a scene, even when his leg was bitten by a mangy wolverine- And if he could do his choring with those critters all around, 1 have no excuse for roaring at a little vagrant sound.

Many families find it impossible to locate here because there is no place for them to live. Possibly the quickest and most feasible solution of the trouble would be the building of more modern apartment houses. For a city of its size Salem has very few apartments for rent at any time. If that whippet tank was as uncertain and unreliable in its movements during the war as it has been on its trip through Oregon no wonder the Germans were panic stricken. It must always have taken them by surprise- am aia The New York World complains because "John Arm strong Chaloner is sane in Virginia and insane in New York." That's nothing. Nearly everybody, however sane he may be elsewhere, goes crazy in New York. THE PROMOTER'S WIFE BY JANE PHELPS LORRAINE DASHES BAB'B HOPE? OF BOCIAL SUCCESS. CHAPTER I.X.

She stopped a minute. Then: "Most of whnt I havo said, Bab, Is quoted. Vou wanted to know, so I told you. The man who told father is Mr. l'owcrs." I utmost groaned.
