WAR STAMPS
AID THRIFT
Nation Savings Increased
by Plan to Raise Money,
Says Holland.

: At the close Of the first week for
the sale Of war thrift stamps it looked
as though the popularity Of this
method Of raising money for the gov
ernment would exceed that which was
disclosed by the sale Of the second is
sue OF the Liberty Bonds. In New
York City and. it Is reported. in other
large financial centers the enthusiasm
Is spreading, as the saying Is, like
Wild fire. Already two of the bank
Presidents. the bank Of each of which
ts listed among Americas greatest
fnancial Institutions, ventures predic-
tons which refer to the number Of in
Ivdividuals, men, women and children in
the United States who will invest
small savings in these stamps. One
- these presidents, Gates w. McGar-
fah. feels assured that when the en-
tire issue has been taken up they will
be found in at least twenty million
homes. Frank A. Nanderlip in Boston
the other day rejoiced in his expecta-
ton that as many as thirty millions Of
American homes or American indi-
viduals will have become co-partners
Of the government through their pur-
chase Of war stamps.
II the movement throughout the
country equals that which has already
been observed in New York and in
other large cities, the entire issue, two
billions in all, equal in amount to the
frst Liberty Loan, will have been
taken by the American people six
months before the time limit for the
subscription expires.
Stamps and Savings Banks.
The trustees and managers OF saw
ings institutions OF New York State
do not look for any large decrease
In savings deposits due to the pur-
chase of war thrift stamps They
probably do not look forward to as
large an increase in deposits this
year as would be equal to the aver
age increase in each of the past ten
years. They are, however, so far
=. as has been possible to get their
Views, in complete accord with Mr..
Espderiip's prediction, respecting the
Ultimate effect upon thrift of the sale
81 these certificates. While they
may for time prevent a substan-
tial Increase in the savings bank de-
posits, although there is no certainty
OF that they are likely so to have
inculcated the sense OF thrift and
how easily thrift can be cultivated
as to make it certain after the war
is ended that savings bank deposits
will very greatly increase. The gov
ernment at Washington will be kept
busy for sometime in supplying Fed
eral Reserve Banks with the thrift
stamps and it may be necessary to
bring to the various postOffices ex-
ira clerical aid. 1t certainly will be
ie the demand for the stamps in the
first week Is maintained until the
stamps are all sold. But in addition
to such extra clerical help as Is
needed there are to be many thou
sands Of voluntary workers through
out the country. who without remu-
neration, will assist in the sale of
these stamps. In Washington, or at
least IN the Treasury Department, it
is the opinion that if the entire is
sue Of the stamps. representing in
all H,O00,OO0,OOO, is taken up by the
plain people OF the United States
within a few months then it will not
be necessary after that to offer for

Jersey Cattle Club
Has Fine Meeting
Ending with Dance

With an attendance of 700, the Ma
rion County Jersey Cattle club met at
the home of Frank Doerfler, near Vie
tor Point Saturday to hold their an
nual picnic. SO great was the program
that the business session which gem
orally features the day was omitted.
The opening address was delivered
by Henry Zorn, president Of the coun-
ty club. He was followed by II. Thies-
sen, state president. Other speakers,
and their subjects were:
Professor Larsen, of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College. ON ".Soils -
Professor Westover, of the Oregon
Agricultural College, on Jersey Cows
Carl Hanneman, official cow tester
of the county, on "Feeds and Feeding
Mr.. Adds, Of the Oregon Farmer,
who spoke ON "The Dairy Cow.
Music was furnished by the Victor
Point band. In the evening one of the
largest dances ever held in Marion
county was attended by some 400 peO-
pie from all parts of the state. Three
Of the numbers of the dance were con-
ducted in jitney style, the proceeds,

Otherwise the dance was free.
The dance was held in the new Doer-

SENATE PLAN FOR
CONTINUED from Page One. J

in addition TO the present tax and still
wines are taxed double their present
figure. Sweet wines must pay an adj
ditional tax on $ll0 per proof gallon
on the grape brandy or wine spirits
used in fortifying them.
Syrups and extracts used in soft
drinks and sodas will be taxed on a
scale ranging from three cents gallon
for those selling at no more than 81
gallon to 12 cents gallon for those
selling above $4 a gallon.
A tax of one cent gallon on all un-
fermented grape juice, ginger ale, pop
and kindred thirst quenehers is i'm
posed.
Newspapers Hard Hit.
1t will cost one cent for each 25 cents
or less paid to ship packages by ex-
press or parcel post.
Second class postal rates are in
creased one-quarter cent pound and
net incomes of all newspapers are taxed
five per cent when exceeding $4,000.
The senate committee respected neith-
er the figures nor the language of the
bill drawn bY the house. The senate
measure is radically changed in every
way, giving promise of a long fight,
first in the upper branch and later in
the house.
The committee bill reported today
falls 3O,000,000 short of estimates un-
der the house bill and several hundred
million short of what the administra-
tion originally asked. In spite of this,
however, Secretary McAdoo notified
the committee that it will not be neces-
sarv now TO have bond issue in addi-
tion to the tax lavy. This win come
later.
The bill viii not come up for general
debate until after the food bill has been
disposed of, according to present plans.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the fin
ance committee, is expected, however,
to request that the dry amendment to
the food bill be stricken out as long as
the revenue bill has tax on distilled
spirits which would prohibit their furth-
er manufacture. Many prominent
"drys' believe the prohibition tax is
the only constitutional way of hating
manufacture Of intoxicants other than
by constitutional amendment.

St. Claire Writes
Of His Experiences
Since Joining Navy

Quay st. Claire, who has recently re-
turned from several months at the nav
al hospital station at Mare Island,
writes an interesting story of his life
at the training station. The details of
the day s work of the sailors will be Of
especial interest to Salem people at this
time on account of the fact that so
many of Salem S young men are serving
their country at sea. The following is
the story:
Last Thursday afternoon when the
train was going down the II mile grade
from Siskiyou-a5 slight drop of 2225
feet, noticed several fleecy clouds to
the north and l began to wonder Ny
several months spent in California have
not been marred by rain, and ] really
hoped it would not rain, but l woke
in the morning finding an over cast
sky. And by the fair sized drops of rain
| was certain was getting off at the
right place and maybe the wrong time.
There are so many things ] might say
of California and the navy ! shall only

numerate those more impressive.
Ny first recollection of Sunny Cal
ifornia' is the penetrating wind from
the mighty Pacific, which few if any
fail to recognize.
Every hour is made to count for some
thing at our training stations. More so
now, than ever. In April the seamen
were having revellie at 5, while the
hospital apprentists had reveille at 6.
But as the days have heightened, they
too ''hit the deck" at 8.
Cleaning person and living quarters,
with Hmuster' (roll call) and " chow
occupy the time until 8, we have lit
ter drill from s until o. We have lee
lures for hours are rest of the school
day.
On Tuesday and Thursday nights we
have our choice of studying or going te
church. (The school was very equally
divided in this respect)
Being released from all cleaning and
working detail, found extra time for
study. On June the 10Th | took my ex-
animation for II. A. lst class, passing
with a grade of 30 per cent.
Some days later we arrived at Mare
Island. Being to late for chow we were
contented on making lunch Of apple
pie, cold beef, bread, butter and plenty
of milk. And let me add, the food in
the navy is good. When You have paid
SOC or less at several restaurants, you
will appreciate what you get at chow
in Uncle Sam S navy. Pay now $3.50
and all found.
We were next assigned to sleeping
quarters, five beds to tent, located
under enormous trees. | am using five
wool blanks and three pillows, and |
certainly enjoy my nights sleep. Each
bed has a locker, and with electric
lights, chairs, a table and real live
Americans, .our spare hours are not to
be forgotten nor regretted.
We have tennis courts and swim
mink tank, which are for use only by
the members of the medical depart
ment.
Besides my duties as one in active
service, ] like many of my shipmates
bought liberty bond, gave money to
the Red Cross, and drilled both in Fris-
co, Oakland and Berkeley during the
recent campaign for funds.
The men stationed at Frisco sub
seribed over 100000 to the liberty
loan. Do you think we are doing our
bitl And you who remain at home
are you leaving we, who have done
much. to do it all or are you doing
your bitq 1t would not be war if there
were no sacrifes to make and we must
have cooperation and willingness to
give, what we have, that is necessary
for our victory.
If more would give and do, the few
would not bear as many burdens.
