But there is another service
to which Trucks are dedicated

Far from the smoke of bat
tie far from the general base
the industries of our Nation
our factories, smelters and
farms are increasing produc-
ton.
This increased production
calls for better, quicker SER

that GMC trucks are doing
their best work.

STANDARD OIL co.
CONSERVING TIN

Each day war necessities are educat-
ing the American people to new habits
of thrift. This was pointed out today
by the local manager Of the Standard
Oil &C.,, G. w. PETER, when he re-
ferred to economies being made by his
company to help conserve the supply
of tin. Heretofore large quantities Of
Pearl oil, kerosene. have been sold in
one and five gallon tin cans. but this
practice is being discouraged to save
tin. The same Pearl oil heretofore
sold extensively in tins is carried in
bulk by dealers and can be purchased
from them at q small money saving as
well as at saving in tin for the ma
tion's needs.
So important is this matter of tin
conservation that it is the patriotic
duty Of every American to conserve
the supply as far as possible, and one
way Of doing this is to buy kerosene
and like commodities in bulk instead
of in tin cans.

(From the Oregonian)

Portland, Nov. 29.-To the Editor !:
l approve your editorial regarding the
payment of delinquent taxes. But give
US the names Of these delinquents. l
do not object to saving the city's cred
it, but any individual, when he is COM
PEELED to pay another persons debt,
has right to know who that other
person is. am only one of the many
Portland home owners who has econo-
mized and suffered hardhsip to pur-
chase home on a small salary.
1t is simply Justice that know for
whom | am compelled TO pay assess
ments in order to uphold the city's
honor. Besides, a little limelight
sometimes works wonders. The spe-
cial tax for such purpose is as had in
the eyes of prospective homemakers as
the default in interest is in the eyes of
our creditors. I'll pay my tax without
kick; but I'd like to know whom /
am paying it for. c. F. Swander,
774 East Yamhill street.
The foregoing may not seem timely,
inasmuch as, since it was written, the
city council has adopted plan other
than taxation for meeting the emerg-
ency. Besides, the names Of the IL
principal delinquents have already
been published, though there are many
minor delinquentS whose names have
not appeared.
The letter, however, reminds us that
bill to abolish publication of the de-
linquent list is to be initiated for pre-
sentation to the voters in the next
election.
Ordinary tax delinquencies operate
in exactly the way it was expected the
delinquencies on bonded street assess
ments would operate at the time Mr..
Swander wrote his letter. Every year
the taxing authorities add certain
amount to the levy to Offset the failure
Of certain proportion of property
owners to pay their taxes. The man
who promptly pays his taxes carries
for the time being the man who does
not.
1t does look like simple justice that
the man who advances the taxes of
others should know for whom he is do
ing it. 1t is also true that little
limelight sometimes lworks wonders. :"
1t would suit delinquent taxpayers
very we'll if their failure to pay were
known only to the tax collector while
the prompt payer was wondering what
may have made his taxes 30 high.

THE FUTURE APOLOGlSr

William Swickers became involved
in debt. Day by day he saw himself
owing more and more money. With
much craftiness he secured the trans
fer of what remaining unincumbered
property he had to Mrs. Swickers, and
he n his creditors were informed by
referee in bankruptcy that volun-
tary petition had been filed by William
Swickers, assets doubtful. 1t SO hap
pened that Walter Nome, one of Bill
Swickers' oldest and closest friends
and man who was we'll to do, had
gone security for Swickers and the
burden of settling much Of his indebt-
edness fell to the lot of Mr.. Nome.
The bankrupt courts took their regular
course and Mr.. Nome paid up. A week
or two following the settlements of
the bankrupt's estate old Bill dropped
in at the town drugstore. He was al
ways talking of his misfortunes, and
he began his conversation with the
veteran druggist, another old acQuaint-
ance, with recital of his reverses.
"This business of my having to go
to the wall" he commiserated, "was
pretty tough, ] tell you. hate like
sin for Walt Nome to have to pay up
for me, but then he's well to do and
he'll get over it."
The old druggist was philosopher
as well as pharmacist of the old
school. During his life time of dis
pensing blue mass, blackroot and To-
bella, he had observed the ways of
men and women, and his reply was
based on the wisdom of his years of
experience.
eyes, Bill" he said, ''Walt will get
over it. Everybody will get over it.
In 10 years it will be forgotten--every-
body'll get over it but you-and you,
the older you get the more you are go
ing to think of it."
The foregoing is true story, but
the names are fictitious. 1t is related
at this time to point warning to the
able bodied young American who today
fails to answer his country's call. The
Civil war was fought over so years
ago, and yet today you will hear old
men who cannot refrain from telling
you why they are not members of the
Grand Army; or if they resided below
the Mason and Dixon line, why they
were not with Forrest or Lee or Stone
wall Jackson. And the reverse, you
will note with what pride veterans of
that conflict wear their decorations,
however meager they may be. relics of
duty well performed.
The future apologists of America are
going to be the young men of this
country who in their conscience know
that they will be slackers if they do
not go down to the field of battle and
fight. The world may forget, but they
never. And it's an apology that seems
to be handed down to the second and
third generations. Young man, you
do not want your children or your
grandchildren to have to apologize in
the years to come about the Stacker
conduct of their father Or their grand.
father. You can leave no--richer herit-
age than that record of service for
your country.

TAkE CARE OF The MACHINERY

The use Of less hand labor, because
of the war, will result in the use of
more machinery. Both new machinery
and the repairs for old tools will be
more costly next year and perhaps
hard to get at any price. Farm, Stock
and Home says, Zone perfectly safe
bet for the future is to take good care
of the machinery. Today it is probably
true that one-third of the wastage on
wornout machinery has been caused by
wear, and the remaining two-thirds is
the tear of weathering and inattention
to repairs.

The war department holds that every weakness of the volunteer system would be perpetuated under the House commit tees scheme.
