The bonds are gilt edged. An ordin-
ary borrower does not think he is ruin
ing himself when he borrows a fortieth
or more of the value Of his property.
The United States is borrowing less
than three per cent of its wealth.
The bonds bearIthree and half per
cent interest. But they are non-tax-
able, ..and.thus equal to securities bear
ing five or six per cent under ordinary
circumstances. The bonds may be dis
posed of at an instant's notice, if the
necessity arises, at any bond exchange
concerns place of business.
Should it be necessary in the future
for the government to issue bonds
bearing a higher rate, you will have
the privilege of exchanging the three
and a half per cent bonds for the new
ones.
We all want peace, and all fsus look
forward to the return of normal condi-
tions. This we can have only when
we have crushed Prussianism. We are
helping win the war by participating
in the financing of our country. And
for this reason the investment should
make an appeal to every loyal Ameri-
can citizen.

A new PENITENTIARY

The Glacier has been asked for its
recommendation on the proposed new
pemtentiary, to be built by $4OO, 600
fund, same to be collected, fourth
each year, by taxation the next four
years. In view of reliable information
concerning the old penitentiary, we
urge that citizens vote for this meas
ure appearing on the ballot of next
Mondays election.
The old Oregon state penitentiary is
relic of barbarism. Inmates are
housed like rats in holes. 1t is true
that men are sentenced to imprison-
ment as punitive measures, but from
the modern contemplation of such in
stitutions they are established as well
for the broader purpose of reforming
recalcitrant members of society, wher-
ever such reform is possible, and re-
turning them to the duties of society
cured of their criminal tendencies.
Oregon's prisoners should at least
have quarters that are comfortable.
They should not be herded like animals
enduring conditions that will embitter
them against the state and make
worse criminals of them.

COMMISSION WILL
BUY PAVING PLANTS
Unless Reasonable Bids Are
Submitted, State Will Do
Work Itself.

Paving plants will be purchased by
the state highway commission.
II satisfactory bids for laying pave.
ment are not received from contractors
the commission will thus be prepared
to undertake paving work itself by
force account.
Bids for all types Of standard pave.
ment are to be invited under open and
fair competition.
The type Of pavement to be selected
In each individual case is to be deter,
mined by cost and local conditions.
For work done by contract good and
sufficient guarantees Of workmanship,
material and durability will be exacted
from contractors.
During the existence of war condi.
tions no construction will be under.
taken which will withdraw labor from
agriculture and other needed industry.
The above Is an outline of the gen.
eral policy which is to be followed by
the state highway commission In mat
ters pertaining TO the construction Of
state roads.

ARE you THE OWNER
OF AN AUTOMOBILES

II there were only one reason why
every automobile owner should 20 to
the polls June 4th, and vote Yes"
on the $6,000,OO0 road bond bill it is
because automobile owners will pay
for these improvements by their in
creased licenses.
But they will save several times
the amount OF their license in wear
and tear n machines, tire mileage
and gasoline
Auto owners will have to pay the
increased fee regardless Of whether
or not the road bond bill is approved
at the June election.
II the $6,000,000 road bond bill is
approved by the people, the money
derived therefrom will be expended
In the construction of statewide
system OF permanent roads.
County money now spent on main
trunk lines will be used on laterals

Home Boys GLADDEN. Buttons Heart

In a letter to Harry T. Dewitt, Nal:
colin Button, son of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
H. Button, who is at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, Texas, in training for the Aviation
Corps, tells of painful expeience fol-
lowing the sting of a scorpion.
"The sting put me in bed," says
young Button, "and let me tell you, |
was pretty sick boy for several days.
One day | was lying there in camp,
wondering when | should again see
some home folks, and as | glanced
down the line of men engaged in drill
just outside the tent, whom should |
see but Mark Moe and Lucian Carson.
1t certainly cheered me up to see these
boys from home.'

During the past winter, sheepmen
In my section of the state lost fully
40 per cent Of their lambs owing to
the weather and the inability to tran.
sport feed from the railroads because
of the impossible condition of the
roads reports G. NJ Blakely, a prom.
inent Grant County sheepman. with
the good roads provided in the Sc, 6,000,-
600 road bond bill we would have
been able to get the necessary stock
food and reduced to a minimum the
loss of lambs. With the bottomless
roads we now have in our part of
the state, that was impossible This
is an element that enters into the
prevailing high cost Of living. Less
stock. means constantly increasing
higher prices. The people of my
county are emphatically for the road
bond bill and any other legislation
that will improve existing conditions
in the matter of transportation in ru.
raj communities

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A WAR BOND

In urging the people of Hood River
to purchase of the Liberty War bonds,
we would not advise one to borrow
money at a high rate of interest, in
order to participate in the issue, but
we will urge that, if it is necessary,
our local men and women undergo
some sacrifice of accustomed luxuries,
in order that they may buy bond.
And why, somebody may say, should
] buy a bond?
The main reason is that it is your
patriotic duty. 1t will pay for food,
clothing and munitions of men who
will do your fighting. All you have in
the world you owe to the country that
protects you. Your brother may be
fighting. If you have uninvested dol
lars. or if you can accumulate dollars
by sacrificing something that you do
not absolutely need, then do your bit
by going to your nearest bank and sub.
scribing for war bond.

AS an aid to the fruit growers of
the Northwest in the actual sales and
distribution of their product, the Fruit
Growers Agency may have had weak
links. But it was clearly demonstrat-
ed last week that the Agency. which
has Reimbursement of the Office of
Markets of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, can be of ines
unable value to the fruit industry by
its active participation in such crises
as that facing fruit growers when a
possibility of having fruit classed as
luxuries existed. The Agency, for
this reason, should have the individual
and collective support of all fruit
growers. 1t should be kept alive by
all Northwestern fruit growers for the
united handling of just such contingen-
cies

FUNERAL OF MRS.
STRANAHAN TODAY

The funeral of Mrs. Gertrude M.
Stranahan, one of Hood Rivers most
highly esteemed young matrons. who
passed away Tuesday afternoon fol-
lowing a brief illness, will be conduct
ed this afternoon at 2 O'Clock, at the
Bartmess chapel, Rev. Morris Good
rich officiating.
Mrs. Stranahan, whose maiden name
was Gertrude M. Miller, was a native
Oregonian, having been born at High.
land in 1883. She was executive head
of the local Temple of Pythian Sisters
and an active worker in Candy Corps
of the W. r. C. In addition to her
husband, James Stranahan. Mrs. Stran.
ahan is survived by three small daugh-
ters. Mr.. and Mrs. Stranahan were
married in Portland in 1907.
The death of Mrs. Stranahan threw
pail of grief over Hood River. The
sudden sad news filled many eyes with
tears. She will be missed in her home
and by her fraternal body associations.

cere sympathy for the bereaved hus-
band and little daughters.

AN APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM

An appeal has been made to the pat
riotism of the men and women Of HOOD
River county to go to the polls next
Monday and roll up one of the heaviest
votes in the history of the county fol
the Sc, 600, 900 road bond issue. Because
of the imperative necessity Of military
highways at this time, when the Sc
curity of our homes is involved, the
policy of the federal authorities un-
qualifedly declaring for and demanding
construction of highways of military
necessity should meet with active re-
sponse from the citizens Of Oregon,
who next Monday have an opportunity
to show the nation the fibre of Oregon
ian patriotism.
We have no doubts as to how Hood
River county will go. 1t will be more
unanimously for the bond issue than
for any measure ever voted on in the
county, But we must do our bit super
latively. Just because Hood River
county is going to show such a heavy
majority for the bonds do not for a
moment think your vote is not needed.
Your vote may be needed to turn the
tide in the favorable direction. Your
vote will offset vote in opposition in
any part of the state.
But aside from our patriotic duty,
we will benefit hundred fold from the
benefits that will accrue from good
road construction under the big bond
issue. Speaking for the women of Or
egon, Mrs. Chas. H. Csastner presi-
dent of the State Federtion of Women's
clubs, says:
If there is one form of legislation
that the women of this state are inter-
ested in more than any other, outside
of the home and schools, it is good
roads, and particularly do they wish
this for the rural woman, for to whom
can good roads mean more than to the
woman on the farm. 1t would tend to
lessen that great isolation-the great
factor in driving the boys and girls to
the city.
People will not 60 back to the farm
until they have roads to get there. Be
patriotic and assist the back to the
farm movement by voting for the road
bond-3l4 yes.
A little levity is never amiss even in
the consideration of most serious prob
lens, and therefore we are going to
quote poem found pinned to tree,
according to Editor Woodward, of the
Newberg Graphic, by a rural mail car
rier on pig-trail road near that city:
"This road is impassable-
Not even Jackassable;
If you want to travel it,
You must gravel it. )"
Too many of Oregon's roads are in
that unmentionable condition, albeit
State Grange Master Spence has
placed himself in the burro class by
declaring Oregon roads in excellent
condition. Don't get in the jackass
class-vote for the road bonds.

with good roads, Eastern Linn
County can produce and market thou
sands of tons of good products from
land now given over entirely to graz
ing purposes" announced George Gil
zendorfer. a good roads booster of
Cascadia, who walked 16 miles to at
tend a recent good roads meeting at
Lebanon. With our present poor
roads, 1t is impossible for us readily
to reach the market with such prod.
ucts, with the result that this acre
age, so adapted for agriculture. is
chiefly valuable only for grazing pur-
poses. With good roads that would
make markets more available, stock
can be moved farther back and this
land developed in an agricultural
way. In this way, the further settle
ment of the state would be aided with
a consequent increase In the states
production of food products"

to accept the proposed bond issue, be-
cause of the conflicting political In.
terests that seem to have been able to
be foisted upon the unwitting, yet
honest voters of Oregon through the
initiative. The six per cent tax limi-
tation forbids Oregon ever getting ade-
quate and passable roads in the next
two centuries, unless the issue is taken
up from another angle.-Burns News.

TO The GRADUATES

We are not concerned 80 much, as
we contemplate you, the boys and girls
of our high school graduating class,
about the actual value of the lessons
you have gained from application to
your studies during the past four
years. If you are like the rest of US,
you will soon forget the major part of
all those studies.
Studying those books for retention
of what you learned has not been your
real purpose in going to high school.
Unless you have learned this lesson,
we ask you to consider it, unless you
have learned to take pride in work
we'll done, your schooling has been of
little value.
A pride in work we'll done should be
the motive of all educators. Have you
taken a pride in the recital of good
lesson? Unless you have felt proud of
that finished task you were set to per-
form in manual training, you wasted
the work.
Courses of higher education are too
often worthless to the boys and girls
who are given the opportunities of TAX
ing advantage of them. Too many
simply attend schools and colleges to
pass away the time. They grow in the
habit of doing just enough studying to
secure passing mark, and thus get a
degree, and no more. Don't go to col
lege unless you go for some previously
decided purpose, unless the work you
do will lead you to some goal. Then
you will, we think, take a pride in
doing well the tasks you set about to
accomplish.

WHAT GOOD ROADS
MEAN TO FARMERS
Seven Portland Hotels Alone
Disburss $3.50, 900 Annually.
For Ranch Products.

Seven OF Portlands leading hotels
annually disburse among Oregon pro
ducers s35o.o00 for the products OF
the farm. OF that total at least $210,.
900 is distributed direct to the small
farmer for poultry. butter. eggs. milk
cream and vegetables. The remain.
ing $4,000 is paid out for ham, ba.
con. fish and fresh meat.
Although the foregoing figures are
those of the hotels which handle the
bulk OF the transient travel In Port
land. they do not show all that the
transient travel means to the Oregon
farmer.
Hundreds Of tourists frequently
take their meals at q grill. restaurant
or cafeteria not connected with the
hotel at which they are registered.
II obtainable these figures would ma
terially swell the grand total OF what
this business means to Oregon pro-
ducers.
One Of the arguments used against
the six million road bond bill is that
the roads to be hard surfaced under
the provisions OF the measure will be
scenic roads" rather than market
roads. The figures quoted above
would indicate that the farmer has a
direct and material interest in any
plan Of road building such as is pro.
vided for II II will make more acces-
sible market such as Portland af.
fords for his products.
AS an illustration OF what good
roads mean to the farmer one Port
land hotel pays one producer annually
$4,000 for eggs alone He pays 33
cents dozen under contract through.
out the year.
There is no question but that with
the completion of the roads desig.
mated In the bond bill Oregon will at.
tract good share OF the tourist busi-
ness now largely monopolized by Cali.
fornia and estimated to be worth to
that state annually s200,O00,000.

HARRY LANE

While Harry Lane during the past
several months has been the most crit
icised man of the Northwest, news of
his death last week was followed by
expressions of keen regret, not only
from his close friends, but those who
bitterly opposed his radical views. A
universal sympathy goes out to the
family of the deceased United States
senator. The circumstances surround
ing the fatal illness of the man larouse
our deepest pity; for in sense Harry
Lane was a great son of Oregon, and
it is to be regretted that his death fol-
lows a cloud of criticism. In all
frankness, not only for his own good,
but for ithe good of his constituency,
Harry Lane should never have gone to
the United States senate.
Harry Lane was honest; he was
strong in his convictions, but he had
that too great fault of being absolutely
unpliable. He was his own worst
enemy. With his mind once set, he
was as unbending as piece of sea-
soned hickory.
The evils of politics were repugnant
to Harry Lanes sense of honesty. He
was the foe of graft, and during his
administration as mayor of Portland
he made an enviable reputation. In
the performance of his duties as super
intendent of the Oregon state hospital,
he accomplished a good that should
bring him the lasting appreciation of
Oregon citizens.
The grim reaper has claimed Harry
Lane now. Let US remember him for
the noble work he accomplished and
hope that his fault will be forgotten.
