PEACE-TIME SAVING.
During the first eight months of
1919 the people of the Twelfth
"Federal Reserve District, embracing
the states of Washington, California,
Oregon, Idaho. Utah, Nevada, part
of Arizona and the territories of
Hawaii and Alaska, saved $7,079,
255.75 by the purchase of Thrift
and War Savings Stamps, according
to a report just issued by the War
Loan Organization. “High prices
were hit just that hard," said Rob
ert E. Smith, director of the or
ganization, “as every dollar saved i
helps bring down prices.”
The amount saved, however, the
report shows, is only 13.9 percent
of the quota asked to date by the
Government from residents of the
Twelfth district. At the beginning1
of the year, the treasury depart
ment fixed a quota of ten dollars
per capita as sufficient to help the
Government meet its war debts. \
The ten dollar quota is just half j
the per capita quota asked in 1913. ;
“The people are not standing up'
to their responsibilities in this dis
triet," said C. A. Farnsworth, as- j
sociate director of the War Loan
Organization. “The Government
needs this money just as much now
as it did during: the war, and is
depending upon every man, woman,
and child in the distr.et to lend it
'ten dollars before the end of the
i year. Of course, there are in
digents in the West who haven’t ter.
■dollars to lend their country, and
; there are others who have the ten
I dollars who aren’t enough American
; to lend it to their country. Con
sequently real Americans ’.oust in
vest more than their quota if the
West is to save its face before the
rest of the country.”
’’High prices,” the report points
out, “would be struck a serious
blow if the people of the West
! would only save something out of
every pay envelope or salary check
—if the wage or salary earner
would make War Stamps the first
item on his budget each week. The
money saved would cut down de
mand for luxuries and at the same
time provide capital for greater
production of necessities. The best
economists in the country are
agreed that this is the only way
to lover prices—that congressional
! investigations and prosecutions of
profiteers will not affect price re
ductions.
“Work and save regularly- is the
only remedy,” the report concludes.
FACING DM TO i
SEI THEIR BOOZE
DOUGLAS, Ariz.—Though death i
has been the penalty pronounced !
by General P. Elias Calles, governor
of Sonora. Mexico, for the making •
oi selling of liquors in that state, j
public sentiment was so strongly!
against the decree that, while ar- i
rests were being made in other
parts of the state, in the capital,1
Hermosillo, recently liquor never
was so plentiful nor cheaper since j
prohibition first went into effect in
1915.
Americans reaching here recently
from Hermosillo said beer was being
sold at $25 gold a case of 60 pints
and tequila was selling at $5 a
quart.
Not long ago, 50 cases or 600
bottles of tequila, seized in all parts
o' Sonora, were publicly destroyed.
The liquor was poured into the gut
ter in front of the governor’s pal
ace. Americans who witnessed tne
destruction said that a number of
peons were on hand with cups and i
when the liquor was poured into
the gutter scooped up enough to get
riotously drunk.
During the period when the death j
penalty was in force until it was 1
repealed early in July, not a single ]
execution had taken place.
Adolfo de la Huerta, the gover- j
nor-elect, and the state congress are
reported to be preparing to put in
effect a law reopening saloons in
Sonora for the sale of light wines
and beer. At present there are a
number of buildings in Agua Prieta,
Nac-o and Nogales, Sonora, being
remodeled for saloon purposes.
Mr. de la Huerta is said to have
been approached recently by repre- j
sentatives of the people of the Ala
mos and Hahuaripa districts, or
counties, with a petition that the
manufacture and sale of mescal
distilled from the maguay, a species
of cactus, be permitted.
CURIOUS STAMPS OF
EUROPEAN STATES
LOXDON.—Stamp collectors, of
which London has its full share, are
: enthusiastic over the curious post
: age stamps which are beginning to
reach them from the smaller Euro
pean states.
One example from Lithuania is of
'the first permanent issue of that
I country. It has been lithographed
|on heavy Silurian gray paper, for
merly used for the printing of bread
tickets.
Lettland, Lithuania’s neighbor,
printed its first stamps on the backs
of German ordnance maps, but these
! proved a little unwieldy and now
(its stamps are printed on the flimsi
est of cigarette papers.
I Czecho-Slovakia stamps recently
received here are simply the united
jarms of Bohemia, Moravia and Si
[lesia, with the inscription “Czecho
jSlovenska Statni” printed on the
! Magyar stamps. They were issued
^ when the Czecho-Slovak troops in
vaded Hungary.
A CHILLY REMINDER
is that blighting first-frost. Look
over your last year’s underwear;
give attention to pagtly worn mack
inaws, jackets and fur coats, caps
and robes. Have them mended and
cleaned at moderate prices, before
winter sets in, by

“Look here, now, Harold,” said
father to his little son, who was
naughty, “if you don’t say your
, prayers you won’t go to heaven.”
■ “I don’t want to go to heaven,”
sobbed the boy, “I want to go with
you and mother.”—Pearson’s.

I THE PORTLAND
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII*^:
LONDON. — The United State?
consulate has been a veritable Tow- i
er of Babel during the last few ‘
months. Cosmopolitan London has
been pouring a varied array of'
nationals into the American gata-:
way in England in the single hope
that they be allowed to go to the
United States. It’s a case of many
knocking and few entering, how
ever.
No one is allowed to go unless he
or she has a good reason for being
in the United States. The wealthy
Britisher who wishes to escape after
war conditions here and see a coun
try he has heard so much about
recently is in the same category
as the Italian or French waiter who
wants to seek a job ‘‘out there."
But if any one has anything to sell
—these cases are in the great mi
nority, however, as few people in
England have anything that is need
ed in the United States—or if they
wish to go to purchase, they are
given every facility.
Every morning, an hour or so
before the consulate opens, a line
of aliens forms. Often there are
from 75 to 100 in the queue and
more keep coming. An average
of nine out of ten will be disap
pointed.
A British woman, evidently of
means and just as evidently lacking
diplomacy, made no attempt to con
ceal her irritation at standing in
line an hour and a half. Her reason
for wanting to go to the United
States, she said, was to visit some
relatives.
“Is your presence in the United
States necessary because of the fin
ancial condition of your relatives?”
the examiner asked her.
“Certainly not," rather haughtily
“Then I cannot grant you a vise.”
The young examiner was then
deluged with threats, but it was of
no avail.
The next applicant was an Ameri
can army officer, who also wished to
get a vise for a girl with him,
whom he said he intended to marry
when they reached the United
States. Her type raised in the mind
of the examiner the .question wheth
er she would be gladly received by
the mother of the young man. Her
case was held up for consideration.
The young officer doubtless is home,
as he expected to sail within a few
days, and the fiancee has not pre
sented herself again.
