14 THE SUNDAY OHEGONIAX, PORTLAND. NOVEMBER 9, 1919. MEIER HEADS DRIv E FOR FINAL 535.000 City Will Be Canvassed for Stock Show Subscriptions. $65,000 NOW IS ON HAND Committee of 9 to Stay Willi Job Until Finished Flummer TelU of Interest in North. Armed with a complete list of all subscriptions to date, the new com mittee of ftinb business men and bankers, formed Friday at a meeting called by Julius L. Meier, will start a personal canvass tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to bring the sales cam paign of the Pacific International Livestock association to a successful conclusion. A total of J100.000 worth of the utock must be sold to place the association on a firm foundation. The campaign thus far has netted about J65.O0U in sales, leaving approx imately J35.000 for the committee of nine to dispose of. At a meeting of the committee held yesterday morning in the office of John Oj. Etheridge, Morris Bros., it was determined to begin a system atic campaign tomorrow morning. Complete lists of all stock subscrib ers to date were being prepared yes terday by the association force and by means of these lists the committee of nine intends to dispose of the re maining stock on an equitable basis, asking those who It is felt should subscribe, but thus far have not done so, to take stock in proportion to their financial ability, and asking those who it is believed have not sub scribed as much as they should to ward this community enterprise to take additional stock. In this way it is expected to conclude the campaign within a short time, and the commit tee of nine intends to stay with the job until it is finished. Mr. Meier is chairman and Mr. Etheridge secretary of this committee. Klepper Thanks Workers. The closing luncheon of the cam paigners who have been handling the drive for the last two weeks was held at the Portland hotel yesterday noon. Milton R. Klepper, general manager of that feature of the campaign, thanked the workers on behalf of the association for their untiring efforts for the past two weeks and praised the work that had been done in can vassing the city and covering the ground thoroughly in regard to the smaller subscriptions. Approximately J35.000 was raised through the efforts of these campaigners. Complete reports as to the standing of the five organizations backing this drive the Chamber of Commerce, Ad club, Kiwanis club. Progressive Busi ness Men's club and Portland Realty board, were not available yesterday, as a number of the team members were not ready to turn in final re ports. Thus it could not be deter mined which one of the five organi zations leads the race, and much in terest was expressed in obtaining the final reports, which will probably be ready early this week. "While this feature of the campaign came to an official close last night, a number of the individual members of teams expect to continue work for a few days to clean up their prospects and submit their final reports. The activity of this body of men was brought to a close after just two weeks of effort, and the officials of the livestock association expressed themselves as highly gratified with the results obtained. Praise was given the men for the time and en ergy which they lent to the cam paign. k Spokane Shown Interest. Th J more interest is being mani fested this year than ever before in livestock developments throughout the northwest is the declaration of General Manager O. M. Plummer of the Pacific International Livestock association, who returned yesterday from Spokane, where he visited the Western Royal Livestock show in that city. In spite of bad weather there were 25,000 people present for the closing day of the show, he stated, and un usual interest was shown. Many ex hibitors and visitors to the show de clared their intention of coming to Portland for the big livestock feature of the northwest, he stated. Mr. Plummer expects to go to Vic toria, B. C, on November 11 to speak before the members of the Western Canada Livestock association, who will be in Victoria at that time for their annual meeting. Canadian stock men have already sent in a large number of entries to the show here November 17 to 22, and it is expected a considerable number or those in session at the Victoria convention will come to Portland immediately for the Pacific-International livestock show. 2SO Dairy Entries Expected. At least 250 entries are expected in the dairy products division of the show. The entries for thi3 division closed last night, but it was an nounced that all entries received by mail within the next day or two which were started on the way to Portland yesterday or before would be accepted. It was thus Impossible to give out the total entries last night. Plans for caring for the throng of visitors expected here during the week are being formulated by the Portland Chamber of Commerce committee, headed by Dudley Evans of the mem bership department. The old Rose Festival list will be used and brought up to date, so that rooms in private houses will be available after hotel facilities have been exhausted. C. F. Hoyt, a nationally known milk judge and expert on city milk sup ply, arrived in Portland yesterday and will assume his duties with the Went-' ern Dairy Products Show as superin- i tendent of the milk and cream dl-, vision. Mr. Hoyt has constructed four , new score cards that will be used lor the first time at the big show held In conjunction with the Pacific Interna tional Livestock exposition November 17 to 22. Heretofore condensed and powdered dairy products have not been scored, but this year, through Mr. Hoyt's work, these products will receive equal recognition with other prod ucts. Horn Show Boxes SoM. More than ZO of the SO night norae show boxes have been sold in advance. In adldtion to those already published, those taking boxes are: Frank Rob ertson, J. C. Ainsworth, Fred Martin, Claude Starr. Northwestern National bank, Sterrett Packing company, Wil- lard Commission company, and Farm Trio (Oregon Farmer, Washington Farmer and Idaho Farmer), reserved by W. H.

REED FRENCH PIANO CO. Twelfth and Washington Sts. Authorized Local Dealer MESH UTTh mA r- CHILDREN'S BOOK WEEK is not just a date on the calendar. It is a great national campaign to arouse new interest in juvenile reading. Behind it are all the great organizations which seek the welfare of the boy and girl the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts, the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A. and every library and school in the country. So, beginning Monday, opening day of Chil dren's Book Week, and continuing until Satur day, the MEIER & FRANK Book Shop will be especially devoted to children and children's books. Miss Millard, Children's Supervisor of the Public Library, will be here all Monday and Thursday after noons. She will be glad to consult with puzzled parents. aunts, uncles, cousins, as to what books Jimmy and Ethel want and should read. Miss Millard also will give informal talks about the different types of books for the child's library and will illustrate by books both in inexpensive and fine editions taken from the shelves of the Book Shop. It is a wonderful opportunity for the Christmas shopper to make a great success of her or his book gifts for children, because Miss Millard knows what children of all ages most appreciate. Miss Millard's Message From the Children's Room in the Portland Library Written Especially for This Announcement : At this time of the year plans for the children's Christmas are forming and there are few presents which are of more lasting value to a boy or girl than a good book. The building up of the home library is an essential aid in the development of literary taste and only books worth reading twice should be bought for it. Books which chil dren own are read and re-read many times and are always a treasured possession. If you want your child to become a book lover give him books to love while your child is young there should be a golden stair case started up which he may climb, join ing each year delightful groups of life long friends. The lists which will appear on this page during the week will serve as guides for those not familiar with literature for chil dren. JESSE HODGE MILLARD, Children's Supervisor, Public Library.
