teRday afternoon from Senator Chamber
lain at Washington stating that the
chief of engineers of the war depart
ment had received the papers contain
ing plans for the improvement of the
bridge across the Willamette
at this place, and had transmitted the
same to the secretary of war depart
ment with the recommendation that the
plans be permitted to be put into eff
feet. This means that as soon as the !
Coast Bridge company receives instruc- .
tions from the war department permit |

piers under the old bridge it win do

Road Building Policy

Washington, D. c., Jan. 29.-Sec-
retary Houston of the Department
of Agriculture, in communication
to the American Association Of State
Highway Officials, has set forth
squarely the policy which he thinks
should be followed in highway con-
struction during the war. Secretary
Houston says:
$50 far as is practicable to do
so, this department will urge the
maintenance of the highways already
constructed; the construction and
completion Of those highways which
are vitally important because Of
their bearing upon the war situation
or for the movement Of commodi-
ties; the postponment Of all highway
construction relatively less essential
or not based upon important mill
tary or econom;c needs The de-
partment is preparing to suggest to
the State highway departments, the
preparation of schedule of work
for the Federal aid projects for
1918 in line wi. this policy"
In carrying 6 the policy thus
announced ther has been sent out
by the Office o Public Roads, Of
the Department of Agriculture,
schedule forms on which the States
are requested to set forth their pro-
posed Federal aid work for the 1918
working season. These schedules
call for description of each road,
the chara cter, quantity and rail haul
Of the materials to be used, the
probable cost, the amount of Fed
eral funds desired, the specific pur-
pose of the Improvement, its bearing
upon the war situation, and what ef-
feet delay of the work until 1919
Or later would have. With the in
formation thus assembled and class
flied, an efficient road construction
program is assured. While it is i'm
possible to make any definite state
ment regarding the transportation
Of road materials, the expectations
are that the transportation situation
will be improved and that the ship
ment of such materials for essential
projects can be made.
Road construction and mainte-
nance in the United States involve
an annual expenditure Of some
S30O,0O,0OO, and there is scarcely q

Patterson's School Principal
Advocates Thrift

The following communication
from Prof. P. C. Rogers, Jr., has
been addressed by him to each one
of his school patrons:
January rs, 1918.
DEAR PATRON:
The schools are asked by our gov
ernment to encourage the children
to own Thrift Cards. This is a
simple and easy plan of having the
chSd 2dEvelop habit of thrift and
at the same time serve his country
by lending to it in small sums. The
letter written by Cardinal Gibbons
points out very clearly why "it is
the clear duty Of every American
citizen, young and oid' to purchase
War Savings Stamps.
We have done all in our power to
encourage the children to get the
Thrift Cards and start saving their
pennies, but, Notwithstanding our
efforts, not even fifty per cent of
the children own Thrift Cards. In
some schools in the parish every
child has one. This is true in the
Garden City School, and in Frank
lin there are over four hundred
school children who are helping Un-
Gle Sam to make the world safe fol
Democracy by buying War Stamps.
May I not urge that you encourage
your child to get Thrift Card and
to start saving his pennies? We
wish the record to show that our
children are loyal Americans, and
can be counted upon to do their full
duty in Whatever their government
asks them to do.
Sincerely yours,
P. C. ROGERS, JR.

The Third Liberty Loan

Atlanta, AIN. 26.-In preparation
for the Third Liberty Loan. which
probably will be authorized within
the next few months, the Executive
Committee of the Sixth Federal Re-
serve District is perfecting an or
ganization and inaugurating a great
educational campaign.
At the recent National Confer
ence of Liberty Loan Committees
in Washington, Treasury officials
expressed the belief that the next
loan would be the largest yet au-
thorized. This conference was at
tended by w. C. Wardlaw, chair
man of the executive committee and
St. Elmo Massengale, chairman of
the publicity committee and others
representing this district. Realiz-
ing the magnitude of the undertak-
ing, machinery was put in motion
Immediately upon their return for
establishing an organization capa-
be of handling this districts allot-
ment of the next bond issue.
In connection with the education
al campaign forty trained organiz-
fers will be put in the field tomor-
row to build up the county units of
the Liberty Loan organization.
These men were carefully selected
and given a course of intensive
training for this special work. They
were selected from all parts of the
district and brought to Atlanta to
study this work at the expense OF
the government. The three-day
course, which was finished last night
covered every detail of organization
and salesmanship as applied to the
Liberty Loan. Joseph A. McCord,
governor Of the Federal Reserve
Bank was among those who lectured
to the class.
The district managers will be as
signed to certain territory through
out the district. Each manager will
have charge of several counties.
They vii study conditions in their
territory, cooperate with the county
Committees in supervising the work,
carry on Liberty Loan propaganda
throughout the campaign. It is
realised in the remote sections
there is lack Of appreciation of the
seriousness Of the crisis confronting
tbs .Hst1ea and Of the purpose OF
the Liberty Loan. It is believed
that by personal work Of this char
acter in each community the people
lean be brought to a realization that
America is menaced by the strong
est military machine in history and
that that only billions and billion:
Of dollsrssspent for food and equip
ment can save the United States
from invasions These district mana
gers are. under The supervision o1

Red Cross Home Ser.
vice Institutes

Emmett W. White, Director OF
Civilian Relief, of the Gulf Division,
American Red Cross, has just re-
turned from Washington, where ne
was in attendance at the conference
of Civilian Relief Directors from
the fourteen divisions of the Amer
lean Red Cross, covering all sec
tions of the United States and its
insular possessions The confer
ence was in session for five days.
During the last two days the Direc-
tors of Home Service Institutes from
all sections of the country 'particl-
pated in it's deliberations. The New
Orleans Home Service Institute was
represented by it's director, Miss
Eleanor McMain. Mr.. White re-
turned with a much enlarged view
of what the National Headquarters
has planned for service of the coun-
try.
"The grip which Red Gross Home
Service has taken upon the people
of the United States" said Mr..
White, sis reflected in the state
ment of Mr.. Henry P. Division,
Chairman of the War Council, made
to the conference, that Home Ser
vice was undoubtedly the most en-
during and far-reaching Red Cross
activity. Both Mr.. Davidson and
Mr.. Harvey D. Gibson, General.
pledged the resources of the Ameri-
can Red Cross to see that nothing is
left undone for the well-being OF
the families of those risking their
lives in our defense. These gentle
men, who are in position to get a
comprehensive view of the whole
situation, indicated that nothing is
more essential to the morale of our
troops than the assurance which the
Red Gross is giving them that their
families will not be neglected in
their absence. The Information
Service and the neighborly help
which is being provided through the
Home Service Sections of Red Cross
Chapters, moreover, is having a tre-
mendous effect in making these
families realize the solidarity of the
American people in this conflict.
"Mr. Charles D. Norton, men,
Der of the War Council, who has
just returned from the French and
Italian fronts where he went to OBJ
serve the condition Of the troops
there, stated to the conference that
it will be absolutely necessary to
keep our troops in touch with home
affairs in order to sustain their mo-
rale. The British Government is
doing this by sending their troops
back home at frequent intervals.
We cannot do this, but we can en-
courage the home people to COM
municate frequently with their boys
at the front. Mr.. Norton stated
that postcards, newspaper clippings
and letters would be a tremendous
aid to our military operations. The
Red Cross, through its Home Ser.
vice, will do everything possible tc
ensure that these communications
contain good news Of home cond'
tions.
II returned to my work Of organ
izing Home Service deeply consciou.
of the tremendous responsibility
which the Red Cross people of thu
Gulf Division will give their entire
support to this absolutely necessary
work."
