The potato market last week gained a little strength In spite of the fact that receipts were excep . (tonally heavy, according to The Packer. It' is believed among pota to operators that the outlook for the April potato market Is very favora ble because of the opinion that the liberal movement is drawing heavily upon the supply remaining In the producing sections. No marked in crease la looked for during the pres ent months, but rather a steadily Im proving condition. The Thursday market was up about Ave cents. Red lUver Early Ohios were quoted at 11.95 and Idaho Russets at 12.25. Kansas City. Following last week's gains, the potato market ad vanced 10 and 16c during the last five days and maintained a good movement throughout.

The potato trade increased In volume to a very con siderable extent during last week all through the Pacific Northwest and specially In the Portland section Was the growing volume of ship ments noticeable. Confirmed sales of Oregon fancy stock at country points were shown around $1.60 per cwt. f. o. b. cars during the middle of the week. Many California buy ers were in the field for supplies, but most of them were trying to pur chase at lower prices than offered by others. The only demoralizing fea ture shown in the potato trade was that the government was reported to be ready to offer liberal stocks of tubers which it had purchased some months ago on contract. However, ren this failed to check the bullish ness of. the present situation. American Owned, Entirely! BILLION 1 TAKEN "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" Quick Relief with Safety!

VICTORY LOAN MUST BE BROADLY POPULAR Workers Shonld IHsxIpate Popular t Impivftlon That Hanks Will Carry Ilurden Now that congress has passed that bill authorizing the flotation of the Victory Liberty Loan, too much em phasis cannot be attached to the statement recently made by Secre tary of the Treasury Glass, urging that the forthcoming loan be popu lar In the same sense as those that preceded it. This loan, In order that the great est good should bo accomplished, must be popular In every sense of the word. It would be unfortunate Indeed If the people were to assume that the banks are expected to ab sorb this last offering that marks the close of the financial burden to be borne by the American people be cause of the world war. The financial situation, as well as the business situation, is dependent upon as wide a distribution as pos sble of the government borrowings. Every man should know that the principal functions of banks are those that they are now performing, purchasing the short time Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness issued by the Government In anticipation of the Fifth Liberty Loan. The proceeds of the Ffth Liberty Loan will come from the people and be available for the payment of these short time Certificates of nldebted nesB, thus releasing bank funds for the use of industry and agriculture and, perhaps, for a later use In as sisting the Government again in pur chasing future short time Treasury bills In case they should be offered. It s essential that the chairman of. the local War Loan organisations throughout the entire Tenth Federal Reserve District, and other workers connected with the organization, Be familiar with and know the stuatlon as It exsts, and t should serve to re mind each Liberty Loan worker that the general public be as fully in formed and be as thoroughly con vinced, as he is. The greatest misfortune that could befall this country, next to losing the war, would be for the Victory Liber- Ity Loan to fail. IIEMINUFOKD M. E. CHVRCII.

Subject: "Our Direction." Eph. 4: 14. A. J. MAY. Secretary Glass of the Treasury Department is quoted In a Washing ton dispatch as expressing strong confidence that the Victory Liberty Loan will not only bo subscribed but over-subscribed. He says that pa triotic impulses of most citizens will prompt them to subscribe to the lim it of their abilities and business in terests will give strong support for the additional reason that the finan cial and commercial soundness of the country depends on the" govern ment's payments of its debts.

The Famous Clothing House Oklahoma County Out for Rabbits Beaver county, Oklahoma, started a seven days' drive on jack rabbits January 27. Fifty prizes, ranging from 1 to 50, were to be awarded to the stockmen accounting for the largeBt numbers of scalps. The coun ty agent reports that the jack rab bits annually damage the local crops of wheat, grain, sorghum, Mexican beans, cantaloupes, and the like, to the amount of 150,000 to $75,000. Hunts and drives are held each win ter, and although thousands of the rabbits are killed, new hordes soon appear. ' A Hutchinson (aKns.) con cern is dressing and shipping large numbers of jack rabbits to eastern cities where there is a good demand for them. The county pays a bounty of 3 cents a scalp n order to promote the extermination of the pests. Patriotism is not something that can be laid on a shelf to be brought out and unfurled for some special ceremony. It doesn't mean cheering while the band is playing the "Star Spangled Banner" and slipping out of the back door while the collection is being taken.
