on II at regular intervals until re-
paid.
The Government borrows money
in this way only after Il has been
given the right to do so by act OF
Congress approved by the President,
and the terms of the loan are set out
in the act.
Back of the promise of the Govern
eminent stands the honor of the Gov
eminent and all its taxing resources.
Really the whole wealth of the Nation
stands behind this solemn promise
of the Government to pay.
This makes a United States Gov
eminent bond the safest investment
in the world. If the bond of the
United States Government is not safe,
no property in the United States is
safe. II the United States can not
pay its bonds, it is hardly probable
that 1t will be able to protect he citi-
zens in their other rights.
Inc Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917
are especially attractive investments.
Not only have they this absolute safe
ty characteristic of all United States
bonds but they are free not only
from all existing taxes but from any
war tax that may subsequently be
levied. No state, city, nor county
may tax them. The inheritance tax
of the United States and of some
States may affect them, or rather,
affect their transfer after death Of
the owner by will or by inheritance.
Another advantage these Liberty
Loan Bonds possess is that IL the
Government issues bonds later on
during this war at a higher rate of
interest the holders of Liberty Loan
Bonds will be allowed to exchange at
par their bonds for bonds bearing the
higher rate of interest.

youth NO sooner jumps on the wagon
than the reins are given hard
sharp slap on the horses back and
he is kept going at high speed. When
he wants to stop he hauls up the
lines so suddenly and so violently As
TO almost pull the animal down on

ponsible youths beat the horse with
the whip, and the welts thus made
are always silent witnesses of the

what happens TO his horse, so long as
he can sell groceries and deliver the

Eulogy On Tho Horse.

In an eloquent tribute TO the horse

recent issue of the Ledger-Dispatch'

ION the battlefield the horse
faces the enemy as bravely as the
most heroic soldier that ever carried
a bayonet, and when shot and shell
tear and rend his powerful body he
gives up his life for man without a
whimper-he utters only the groan
of the dumb and speechless. II was
he who delighted the hearts of kings,
princes, and potentates. He is the

but of the humblest human creature,
be he peasant or even peddler.

FOR THE MERCHANT.
Makes Customers Want to Hurry
Back.

Service real honest-and-true Ser
vice in a grocery store, is a wonder
fully valuable asset mean the
kind of Service that makes the groc-
every store customers want to hurry
back and buy something more to ex-
perience service again.
We will all agree that customers
are the life of any business. Without
customers, no business can exist, so
why not please the customers, and
make them satisfied customers? 1t
is just as easy to keep a customer
happy as to make him unhappy, and
with service at the disposal of every
grocery storekeeper and his helpers,
the grocery store really can be the
most PLEASANT place for shopping in
the world.
To be sure, it is not always easy
to be smiling, and apparently happy,
but our personal troubles and our
store troubles should never be allow
ed to interfere with the courteous
teatment of our customers, because
they are the life of the business, and
they should be we'll taken care of.
Worth Their Weight In Gold.
A pleasant Good Morning." a
friendly Good Night" and an honest
THANK You" cost no man penny
yet each and all are worth their
weight in gold.
Service is the worlds finest mer-
chandise. 1t costs less and brings
greater dividends than anything you
nave to offer or sell. 1t is no special
credit to the grocery man that his
store be clean, wholesome and at
iractive; and that his merchandise
Je acceptable to his customers. Those
conditions are all matters of absolute
elf-preservation. Without them no
merchant can last in trade.
l lay service before you as the
greatest asset a grocery man has.
You can make it as great as you will,
and the more service you give, the
greater your return. Service spells
success.-Team Work.

FILIPINOS EAGER TO
ENTER L. s. NAVY

Manila, p. l., June Enthusiasm
for the war rules high among the
Filipinos. They are almost unanim-
ously loyal to the United States.
They have not forgotten how the
German feet threatene Dewey at
Manila i'm 1908 and might well have
attacked the American warships had
not the British fleet made 1t clear it
would support the conquerors of the
Spaniards.
The islanders are especially eager
to enter the United Stats Navy. Here
tofore, the local seamen could get
into the navy only in subordinate po-
sttions and these in local waters
alone.
But Admiral G. Winterhaler has
asked Washington for permission to
enlist Filipino seamen in any class
for which they can qualify. If the
United States Government grants
this request the result is bound to
be very active recruiting here, as the
native press, without exception,
urges the Filipinos to show their
gratitude for the libery and progress
10 which they have been assisted by
Americans and help Uncle Sam fight
this big war.

ALLAH OPPOSES
THE YOUNG TURKS
ALLIANCE WITH GERMANY UN-
HOLY, SO SAY ORTHODOX
MOHENIMEDANS.

Cairo, Egypt, June 2.-The Young
Turks. who now control the Con-
STAMPEDE government, have lost all
favor in the eyes of Allah by Joining
an unholy alliance with the German
Kaiser, according to a proclamation
issued by the orthodox Mohamma-
dams at Mecca.
Ii was the orthodox sect of Mus
sulmans who recently revolted i'm
southwestern Arabia, declaring them
selves free from the Turkish Govern
ment at Constanipole.
The----o of Mecca, has pro-
mulgated a proclamation to the
the REBELLION of the Holy Places of Is
lam against the young Turks and of
the assumption of the title OF King
of the Hedjaz by the Grand Sheriff
of Mecca. 1t says in part:
I'VE, the elders and lawyers of the
House of God, are among those whom
God has permitted to serve the faith
and defend its truths. The world
and its treasures, I'm comparison
with truth, are not worth he wing
of an insect. for there is no other
purpose for man in this life except
preparing for eternity.
I'VE have discerned the hearts of
the uspurers of Osman's Empire. We
have learned their evil purpose with
regard to our faith: we have beheld
their crimes and wickedness in this
our Holy Land, and our faith has
shown us the path of salvation, and
in its name we have acted according
to our duty to ourselves and the
Moslenms OF the world.
Every Moslem who would consid-
en- this matter should seek its cause
and ascertain the nature of evil
against which we rose in arms when
we found words were of no avail.
las for us, we are absolutely GER
tain that the secret committee of the
Young Turk party has VIGOROUSLY
disobeyed God. No words stayed
their hands from crime, and no op-
position prevented the evil conse-
quences of their actions. Let no one
think that We speak vain things,
There stand the facts and events
which every man by inquiry can as
certain for himself. We shall bring
forth these facts and lay them be-
fore the Mohammedan world when
necessity demands.
Want Reliable Person.
Now We content ourselves with
begging those of our brethren who
oppose us to send some reliable per-
son or persons to Constantinuole, the
capital of the Unionists, and there
witness personally, as we have our
selves witnessed, Moslem women en-
ployed by the government and ex-
posed in public placs unveiled before
men of strange nations.
Eve endeavored to please God and
avoid rebellion so long as it was
possible. We rebelled in order to
please God, and He gave us victory
and stood by us in support Of His
law and religion. and in accordance
with a wisdom known to Him which
would lead to the uplifting of His
people. Every Moslem heart in the
Ottoman empire, even among the
Turks in Anatolia and among the
members of the Turkish royal family
in the palaces, prays God for our
success, and God always answers
the prayers Of the oppressed and
righteous" |

The Terms of the Liberty Loan.

The act authorizing the Liberty
Loan Bonds of 1917 was passed
April "a, 1917. 1t provides for the
issuance of $1,000. 100000 of 3R
per cent bonds, the interest payable
semiannually on December 15 and
June 10 of each year. The principal
is repayable on or after the 18th day
of June, 1882, at the option of the
Government, and If this option is not
exercised the bonds will run full 80
years and become due June Is, 1947.
The bonds are exempt both as to
principal and interest from all taxa
ton, national, State, county, or
municipal, except the inheritance tax,
which is really not tax on the prop
erty, but on the transfer of property
by will or inheritance.
The bonds are to be sold at par;
that is, dollar for dollar, no premium
and no discount. They are to be sold
by the Treasurer of the United States
and by the Federal Reserve banks.
But all banks, National and State,
post offices, and express companies
have been designated as agents of
the Government to receive applica-
tons for these bonds. II is almost as
easy to purchase one of these bonds
as it is to get a post-ofiice money
order.
1t is not necessary to pay cash in
full for bond. One cay pay down 2
per cent of the purchase price on APP
plication-that is. 81 for a $50 bond,

new COUNTY BRIDGES
NEAR COMPLETION

Judge Blowers and Commissioner
Hannum, who Sunday inspected the
two new bridges being constructed
across Hood river, one just north of
Dee and the other where Trout creek
enters the stream, say that the work
will be completed within the next few
days.
Both bridges are of the Howe truss
type, new to the Hood River valley.
The piers are of concrete. Both
bridges are also rooted in, which is al
so an innovation IN local road and
bridge construction. The bridges cost
each about $4,000 The Dee bridge
was constructed by H. Cramer, and
the Trout creek structure by Strana
han & Slaven.
The county authorities state that
Mr.. Cramer has been subjected to crit.
icism that he in no wise deserved. The
work of constructing the esbridge at Dee
was necessarily slow, the piers having
to cure for Fl days before they coulC
be used. 1t was also absolutely neces
say to tear out the old bridge before
the piers for the new structure coult
be placed.

GROWERS ADVISED TO
HURRY THE HARVEST

The growers of the Northwest are
advised by the Northwestern Fruit Ex-
change to hurry with their apple har-
vest. A bulletin isued by the Exchange
follows:
Growers and shippers throughout the
Northwest, in the past GO days, have
been lulled into sense of security as
respects the car situation, all advices,
official and unofficial, tending to that
end.
1t now appears that the situation is
by no means as satisfactory as sup
posed and the chances are that there
will be another car shortage in the
Northwest this year which may even
exceed in severity that which pre-
vailed last year. Forewarned is fore
armed, providing those who are fore
warned take the necessary steps in
their own protection. Everybody had
dose of losses by delay in shipment,
freezing, etc., last year which will
long be remember. Good jugdment
dictates that everything humanity pos
sible to avoid repetition of last
years experience should be done.
The Exchange sent the following tele-
gram to its field manager, j. B.
Adams, at Okanogan:
"Believe you should start 0mak
call meetings directors every single
point. Place squarely up to them
vital Importance, reorganize operations
Immediately on basis "a hour continu-
GUS shifts night and day until crop is
harvested, packed, shipped. We realize
this may not be easy but equally conf
dent determined aggressive action will
be successful. Reasons, almost certain
car shortage inside of few weeks. Our
plan is use proportion box cars this
month. Have been guaranteed by
Gavin such use have no bearing on our
proportion of freezers. Believe now is
time for supreme effort of all shippers
to get crop converted into quick cash.
Believe this program paramount i'm
portance. Quick hard drive desirable
answer.
This telegram is self explanatory.
The Exchange believes that if all of
its shippers would face the situation
squarely at this time, and, at what
ever cost of effort and trouble, reor-
ganiZe their program, provide for a
continuous 24-hour operation of pack
ing houses until this crop is cleaned
up, such policy would win big. You
will note that we have had assurance
from Mr.. Gavin, of the Great North
ern, that if our shippers use box cars
they will not be charged against their
allotment of freezers. We believe
that there is a fair supply of first class
box cars available. and our idea would
be for shippers to use as many freez-
ers as the railroad will provide through

WORMY SHIP
MENTS TABOO
DIR. MACRUM ORDERS INSPECTION
Horticultural Commissioner, Outlining New
Law, Says OF Grade Fruit Must
GO to Converting Plants

Shipments of wormy apples from
Hood River must STOP" was the en-
phatic assertion last Friday of DR.. c.
A. Macrum, of Mosier, state horticul-
tural commissioner, here to confer
with County Fruit Inspector Angus.
MANY complaints are being received
from Portland as to arrivals of wormy
fruit. The Hood River growers, find,
are among the worst offenders. They
ought to be ashamed of themselves.
DIR. Macrum has instructed Mr.. An
gus to notify all steamboat and rail-
way agents that all shipments of fruit
made from here to Portland in the fu-
ture must first be inspected.
''Prior to the meeting of the last
legislature, says DR.. Macrum, ''the
law on shipments of Gull apples was
very indefinite. At the instance of
the State Board of Horticulture the
general assembly adopted an amend
ment that prohibits the shipment Of
wormy and other Gull apples, except to
such by-products concerns as cider
factories, canneries and processing
concerns where the identity of the
fruit will be changed completely. Thus
the apples will not 60 into the market
in competition with the good product
of Oregon growers. Growers them
selves should realize that every box of
wormy apples they send to market will
actively compete with their good prod
uct and set low price for the high
class fruit. If the growers cannot
comprehend this and avoid shipments
Of such off grade stuff. we must en-
force the law and protect them.'
The managing officials of cooperative
agencies are cooperating with DR.. Ma
crum in the enforcement of the new
law.
"Our growers, says F. w. Buff,
manager of the Fruit Growers Ex-
change, shave been asked to conform
strictly to the rules of shipment as
outlined by the horticultural commits
sioner."
The amendment to the horticultural
law referred to by DR.. Macrum, fol
lows:
"Be it enacted by the people Of the
State of Oregon:
"Section One. That Section 5499 of
Lords Oregon Laws be and is hereby
amended SO as to read as follows:
"Section 5499. 1t shall be unlawful
for any person, firm or corporation to
import or sell any infested or diseased
fruit of any kind in the State of Ore
gon, except that such fruit may be
sold to evaporators, fruit canneries,
fruit product factories, or other by
product factories under the following
conditions:
First. Such fruit so sold shall be
solely for the production of manufac-
tured fruit products, beverages or
other manufactured products or by
products.
Second. The nature of the infesta-
tion shall not be such as to make the
articles of food or beverage manufac-
tured from such fruit unhealthful or
unfit for use as food or beverage.

new CONCRETE BRIDGE
PROPOSED BY NUNN

State Highway Engineer Num- in a
letter to thelcounty court proposes that
the county cooperate with bthe State
Highway Commission in the construc-
tion of a new concrete arch bridge
across Hood river to replace the old
steel bridge at the east edge of the
city.
Engineer Num- in his letter says :
"Our bridge engineer, Mr.. Purcell,
who recently inspected the old bridge,
believes that it will be too light for
the traffic of the Highway" Engin-
eer Num- says that the estimated cost
of the new concrete bridge, including
all spans and approaches will reach
$25, 900. The county is asked to make
as heavy appropriations as possible for
the proposed new structure. even
though other contemplated bridge work
has to be sacrificed, since Mr.. Num-
points out that the state will expend
approximately $3.50, 600 in constructing
the Highway between Hood River and
Mosier.
The court will begin immediate de-
liberations on the proposals of Engin-
eer Num- and take action as early as
possible.
