THE RED CROSS CAMPAIGN (Continued from Page One.f must rnise $15,000; Baker $5000 more than, that, Pondleton twice as much; Union and Elgin $1500 each. Hence the. struggle for money with which to care for tho wounded and sick soldiers, to provide means for hungry wives and widows of soldiers in the fight, tp help equip hospitals and pro vide nurses and doctors will go on everywhere that an American com munity lives next week. Even a cursory survey of tho local situation conclusively reveals the fact that La Grande people do not yet fully comprehend what it means to raise $15,000 in a week at this time. The average family doesn't realize that every man, woman and child in La Grande must (rive $2 each. But think of the hundreds that will not be reached and then remember somebody has to make that up. Whenever it dawns upon the citizens of this city that they face a huge task but, also, that to fail will bring discredit upon tho city's fair name; whenever the fact thr.t every little school boy and girl, every clerk, every street cleaner, every washerwoman, every hodcar ricr, every banker and every business man must take hold or the city will fail in its purpose, then, and not un til then, will tho campaign succeed. These facts hnvon't thus far been grapsod. Get hold of this, Mr. Reader! You, not some other fellow, have a part to pay. "Big Business" has been drained for liberty bonds it can't meet the Red Cross subscription alone. If, after you read this little outrunner for the campaign that is to come, you haven't seized the one po tent "factor of the whole stupendous affair, towit: It's up to you to put this thing over. Sacrifice do anything to carry your share of the burden like a was 3 minutes 821 seconds, The nov- lelty race, the third event, was won j.by Bert Woods with hia all-around .horse, "Christy".

During the middle of the afternoon program fifty members of Company M arrived at the grounds under com mand of Captain Neer, having hiked to this city. The " boys were greeted, with cheers and j met by the Union band which escorted them down the race track. j In the arena, potato races, steer iroping contest, and many other spe cial events were held. r Tim mwit. thrilling race of the en tire afternoon was the Roman race which was won by the favorite rider, Ben Corbett; Fred Spain winning sec pnd.
