URGE IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT
OF ALL CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Tho merchants, he said. urge the i'm
mediate shipment of gifts in order to
alleviate CONGESTION of traffic condi-
tons, for the government does not in
tend to allow Christmas parcels traffic
to interfere in any way with war
supply movements. and late shippers
may find that their packages will not
he delivered until long after Christmas.
IN accordance with government de-
msnds. the merchants also urge the
public to shop early in the day, before
the moor hour IL possible, and to carry
small packages, as the now draft is
making great inroads on the men en-
ployed in delivery departments of
stores. The merchants. he said. are CO.
operating in every possible way with
the government in these matters and
are compelled to urge loyal and thor
ough cooperation in spirit and letter
from their patrons.

SOCIETY ENCOURAGES
WAR SAVING WORK
Pledge of Systematic Saving
Asked For All
Membership.

A special meeting of the Woman S
War Saving Society of Pendleton was
held yesterday at the homo of Mrs
$. A. Lowell TO discuss plans for per-
fecting the organization. The pur-
poses Of the society are as follows:
1. To awaken a realization among
the men. women and cildren of Am
erica that in their hands lies the key
to the successful prosecution of the
war; that they can render the most
far-reaching patriotic sevice through
refraining from the purchase Of un-
necessary articles. confining them
selves to the use of such things as
are necessary for health and eff
cheney, thus releasing labor and ma
serials for the support of our armies
In the field; that there is not enough
labor In the United States to produce
the great variety of articles needed
to support our soldiers and at the
same time provide all the copforts
and luxurles we enjoyed before the
war.
?. To lay the foundation for thrift
and economy throughout the United
States and to bring home to the peo-
pie the fact that intelligent andt con-
sistent saving is not a dry problem
in economies. but is the most vital
step toward personal success.
3. To obtain for the government
a large amount Of money through the
sale of Thrift Stamps and War-sav-
ings. Stamps-little government
bonds--the safest and best invest
ment in the world. and at the same
time provide method by which the
