THE REAL SAVING
AND THE FALSE
Merely to hoard money at a time like this is no bet
ter than hoarding food or clothing or fuel. Sensible ex
penditures on necessary things must go on, if the coun
try’s business is to go on, if the country’s war is to end
in victory.
But it is real saving to cut down on needless ex
penditures and lend what you save to your government.
That is the saving of a true patriot who can look beyond
immediate convenience to the lasting benefits that peace
will bring.
For such saving your government has devised the
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS. Your government asks
you to invest in them to the fullest extent of your ability,
guaranteeing with all the resources of this nation, that in
a few years your money will be returned to you with in
terest.
This is your opportunity to back up YOUR beliefs
in a tangible manner. Make the most of it.
BUY THRIFT STAMPS for 25 cents and WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS for $4.14 at your Post Office or at
any Bank.

EIGHT HOURS FOR IXX3GERS
PORTLAND: Northwestern lum
bermen have decided to adopt the
eight hour working day commencing
this month. Colonel Brice Disque head
of the government’s spruce produc
tion campaign, says that the decision
in favor of the eight 'hour basis was
voluntary on the part of the operators
and was not demanded by the govern
ment.
The colonel does not think is pos
sible Hint the government will ever
take over the spruce and (ir industry,
as the government can depend upon
the lumbermen for a maximum pro
duction of airplane timber.
Low temperatures prevail at all
points a’ ng the trail today with high
winds.

BRITISH ARRIVAL ON BANKS
OF JORDAN IMPORTANT
LONDON: Much Importance is at
tached to the arrival of the British
on the banks of the Jordan, Reuter's
Limited learns from an authoritative
source.
Gen. Allenby’s advance from Jeru
salem was carried out under great
difficulties. It was made during heavy
rains and when the British had to
march over hills comparable only to
masses of slippery soap.
Possession of Jericho is an import
ant step toward establishing touch
between the British and their Arab
allies.
Gen. Allenby’s force is now en
camped along the Jordan. With the
latest advance, the British position
is quite well defined. The right flank
rests on the Dead Sea and the left on
the Mediterranean, so if the enemy
wishes to attack, he can only make a
frontal assault. The British now con
trol the Dead Sea and have access to
the rich lands east of the sea.
They also menace the railway run
ning toward Damascus, while the
country has belter roads than that
around Jerusalem.
Capture of Jericho, the military
correspondent of the Dally Telegraph
says, deprives the enemy of one of the
chief local points In his defensive
scheme In Palestine.
The first troopers to water their
horses In the historic Jordan were the
Australian cavalrymen.
