weight instead of by cord measure,

BE PUT ASIDE.

Our first duty as Republicans to-
day is that duty which we have never
failed and never will fail to antici-
pate and discharge-our duty as
Americans. Just as during the recent
war we determined our every act by
how We could do most for effective
action, so now we will measure our
every step by how We can contribute
most to the nations welfare.
"To that end we will abandon all
other activities to aid in the Victory
Loan until it's success has been ac-
complished."
This is the essential feature of a
statement issued this week by Will
Fl. Hays, chairman of the Republican
national committee. in anticipation
of the Victory Loan campaign which
starts next Monday.
While the call was publicly issued
to all Republicans, it was also sent
directly and personally to all Repub-
lican national committeeman, state
chairmen, all state organization
workers, all county chairmen and all
precinct committeeman and to all
Republican newspapers, asking them
to suspend all political activities until
the success of the loan had been as
sured.

ISSUES WARNING TO
LAND PURCHASERS
STATE RECLAMATION BOARD Is
COMBATING SMOOTH TALK
OF DEALERS.

"Wildcatting' prospects in unim-
proved arid, swamp and loggedoff
lands on representations that these
are certain to be improved under the
state reclamation act have already
become so apparent that the state
reclamation board is officially taking
steps to prevent as far as possible
any swindling of people actually de-
string farm lands by irresponsible
spectators.
Through Commissioner Clark v.
Savidge. secretary. the state reclaim
alton board has issued the following
wildcat" warming:
1.-THE state reclamation board, au-
thOrized under the state reclamation
act passed by the last legislature, de-
sires to warn the public against in
vesting in lands which are alleged
to come under one of the state re-
clamation projects contemplated UNI
der the provisions of Chapter 1873 Of
the session laws of 1919.
"Do not buy until you have salts
fed yourself of the character of the
investigation being made.
THE mere fact that the board may
be investigating any one of several
proposed projects does not guaran-
tee that development of the project
will be undertaken.
Spectators who claim inside
knowledge of the reclamation plans
of the board should be stunned. as
no advance information Of such plans
has been or will be given out.
after the survey and investiga-
ton of proposed project has been
made. as required by provisions of
tha reclamation act. If such project
is approved by the board due publ
city will he given to the matter by
those having authority to do so.'

be benefited more in the summer
months by the climate of Puget
Sound than by any other he could
find. For that reason he is apt to
insist upon remaining in Olympia or
at least at some point on the Sound.
If the governor remains in the state
and continues to show improvement
in. his health he undoubtedly will in
sist upon taking a more active part
in state affairs.
The chill of. autumn and winter,
however, are feared by the governors
physician and family, SO if he stays
on in Washington for the summer,
Governor Lister undoubtedly will go
to a warmer climate for the fall and
winter. He may 60 either to South
ern California, as he has suggested,
or to Honolulu, as his family and
friends have urged. 1t is felt there
is no advantage in the climate of the
Hawaiian islands or California at
present, however.
To encourage him to seek COM
plete recovery the legislature appro-
priated $1,000 for a trip for Cover
nor Lister. and the executive plans to
follow the legislative plan, though
undecided as to when he will go
away.
