NOTICE
The Federal Government asks that all retail merchants put their
Business upon a war time basis.
The Commercial Economy Board of the Council of National Defense
recommends that merchants
Grant Credit for No Longer than Thirty Days
Sell More Necessities and Less Luxuries
Make Only One Delivery a Day
The idea of the government is to reduce the expense of doing business to the mer
chant with the object m view that the goods and merchandise sold will reach the
consumer at a less cost.
Believing that the adoption of these economies is tl c doing of a patriotic duty the
business houses of Cordova have decided to adopt the following practice, namely:
That all bills contiacted in any month shall be paid not later than the 15th of the
succeeding month or satisfactory arrangements must be made by that date for a
definite extension of time.
That all parties owing old bills which they are unable to settle at the present time
must make definite arangements in regard to the same.

PORTLAND, Jan. 12.—What is ex
epcted of loggers and mill men in the
northwest by the production division
! of the government’s aircraft board,
: during 1918, is outlined in a statement
and appeal by Colonel Brice P. Disque,'
head of the spruce production work,!
now being sent out to members of the'
, loyal legion of loggers and lumber-'
i men. The organization now numbers
25,000 members in the northwest.
Included in the statement is a warn-|
ing to lumbermen not to pay heed
to the nonsense and “malign whisper-j
ings’’ of spies and traitors who spread
their propaganda in the spruce pro
duction belt.
“The headquarters of this division,’’,
says Colonel Disque, “looks to you to^
prevent all acts of sabotage and sedi
tion on the part of employer, employe
or others. This duty your govern-j
ment eipects of you, to prevent ‘aid
or comfort to the enemy’ in any way."
Germany is obtaining airplane ma
terial with forced labor in the invaded
Russian forests on the Baltic, which
do not belong to her. Thousands of
helpless prisoners are driven to work
at the point of the bayonet from early
dawn until dark.”
Loggers are urged to offset Ger
I
many’s gains by increasing the output
in the United States. Colonel Dlsque’s
announcement says:
Your government asks you to pro
due 11,000,000 feet of spruce during
each month of 1918. Also It asks you
to immediately make up the deficien
cy of the last few months when an
average of only about 3,000,000 feet
was obtained.
“For the operation of our country's
air fleets the war department has per-'
fected its motors and is receiving
them in quantities according to pro
gram. Its training schools are gradu-'
ating expert pilots and mechanicians
in sufficient numbers. Factories are
turning out the finished product as
rapidly as material is obtained.
“Every detail of our government's
aircraft plan has been executed ac
cording to program, save only the
most essential, that of producing the
timber that is needed. We must pro
duce this stock not only for our own
machines but for our allies as well. 1
“This high duty calls upon you and
me. And we need the moral and phys-j
ical aid and encouragement of every
person in the spruce section, for as
General Squier has said, ‘the north
west is the neck of the bottle in this
war.’
“You are soldiers under the flag
Just as truly as the boys, knee-deep
in the mud of France, are stopping the
bullets of the enemy. A day’s lay-off
is two day’s work for the kaiser.
"What a splendid service the loyal
legion may perform, exemplifying the
capacity and potency of free Ameri-|
can labor over the manacled labor of^
the kaiser. Show this red despot the
efficiency in the land of the free/
where men know the meaning of
‘ought’ instead of ‘must.’
“This division is sending troops to
help you In this work. There uni-1
forms will serve as a constant remind-J
er that your country regards your duty
In the forest equally as urgent and
Important as that of the soldiers in
the trenches. A dozen axes in the
i
northwest forests may prove to be
worth more than a regiment of rifles
In France.
“At the front, soldiers would be shot
as deserters if they laid down their
rifles and ran away. But American
soldiers are never guilty of such deedsj
t feel sure, no member of the loyal le*J
;ion will lay down his axe and aid the
I
enemy by running away.
‘‘ft is part of your duty to aid your
more credulous brother members in
resisting the malign whisperings of
enemies in your camps and mills. Pay
no heed to the nonesense that you
are signing away your constitutional
rights by taking the legion's pledge
of loyalty. Such stories are enemy
sftmes, the work of spies and trait
ors Your pledge to the government
leaves you as free a citizen as you
were before signing, and the pledge is
only a visible and tangible evidence
of a loyalty which you gave prior to
signing. You are upholding the con
stitution by aiding the republic, and
what right, indeed, have those who
skulk and destroy in the forests to
talk of constitutional rights to men
like you who are battling for these
things, while they are seeking to des
troy them? It is your individual duty
to discover and combat such sinister
propaganda.
“Upon employes, members of the
legion, let me urge the Importance of
making as few changes as possible
from camp to camp or mill to mill.
Every transfer results in the loss of
a day or more of work. Your pledge
calls upon you to do everything poss
ible to aid your country in this war.
“In certain instances in the North
west there seems to be an almost com
plete lack of comprehension of the
fact that this country is at war. The
government wants no material thing
of either employe or employer for
which it will not pay liberally, but it
demands unselfish loyalty and devo
tion. It is transacting commercial
business in the spruce districts now
because of the war and because of
the war only, and this fact should be
borne in mind at all times.
“When the government's air pro
gram has been completed and history
shall have been written, it will be
realized how stupendous a price the
axes and mills of the Pacific north
west played in winning the war for
democracy.’’
