In His State. ,
ASTORIA, Or.. June 12. (Special.)
The 44th annual convention of the Ore
eron State Grange was convened here
this morning with every county in the
state excepting: Baker, Deschutes and
Jefferson represented. Delegates from
121 subordinate granges are present,
with others arriving on every incoming
train. y
A new feature today was the seat
ing of delegates from the various Po
mona granges of the state. Clackamas,
Columbia, Linn, Lane, Marion, Multno
mah, Polk, Tillamook, Josephine, Doug
las, Lincoln, Hood River and Washing
ton Pomona granges being represented.
Kully 600 grangers, delegates and visi
tors were present when Master C. E.
Spence called the session to order. Af
ter the report of the committee on cre
dentials Jacob Voorhees, secretary of
of the fire insurance branch . of the
organization, submitted his report
showing that there are now In force
fire risks to the amount of $2,338,619, a
gain of over $100,000 during the past
year.
North Dakota Gra nicer- Visitor.
At the opening of the afternoon ses
sion Ray McKaig, master of the North
Dakota State Grange, 'made a short
talk and promised later to explain the
details of the non-partisan league In
Jiis state.
State Master Spence presented his
annual report, saying in part as fol
lows: "Our Nation is now at war, and it
'becomes our first duty so to manage
our work that the demand for food sup
plies will be met. Our county agents
inform us that there has been a large
Increase In the acreage planted.
"There is already a great shortage
of farm help. While the deficiency may
be partially supplied from the cities,
untrained help is unsatisfactory, while
the importation of Oriental labor should
not be considered.
Drift will Be to High Warm.
"If farm labor and farmers are not
as well paid as those engaged In other
Industries much of the labor and many
of the farmers will drift to those In
dustries which pay the most. Then In
another year the Nation will pay the
price.
"This war is a great social enter
prise. For some the duty is to fight,
for others to furnish money. The citi
zen who contributes his entire Income
beyond what is necessary for sub
sistence Itself does less than the citizen
who contributes himself to the Nation.
"Our soldiers and sailors will fight
loyally in any case, but their spirit
will be more indomitable if they feel
that every man who stays at home Is
nerving the country to his utmost. We
now have conscription of men. . Why
not conscription of wealth?
"Since the State Oregon Grange at
its last two sessions had gone on record
as opposed to bond issues for road
building as a principle, the bonding
bill was opposed by me in the Legisla
ture and during the campaign. Bait
now the election is over and a major
ity of the voters are found to be in
favor of the bonds, it is now the duty
of every good citizen to assist in get
ting the best results possible for our
dollars, regardless of our personal
opinions, in the matter."
Business Mentilve Salmon Dinner.
This evening the delegates were en
tertained at a salmon dinner given by
the business men of the city. John
E. Gratke acted as toastmaster and ad
dresses were made by Mrs. W. S. Kin
ney, president of Netel Grange; B. F.
Btone, chairman of the Port of Astoria:
C. E. Spence, State Grange master; Ray
McKaig, master of North Dakota
Grange: Mrs. Nellie E. Bond, state lec
turer; B. B. Leedy. chairman of Grange
legislative committee; Mrs. Florence
Dickinson, of the Oregon women's work
committee.
A letter was read from Governor
Withycombe expressing his regret at
being unable to attend the convention
of the Grange, of which he had been
a. member since 1873.
Just now," said the Governor, "it
seems to me the -farmer's place in our
general scheme of things is more im
portant than ever before. It is increas
ingly apparent that perhaps the Largest
Influence which the United States can
exert in the world war will be exercised
by the products of our fields. In . a
large measure, the successful outcome
of the struggle depends upon the abil
ity and patriotic industry of the farm
ers of America."
That little city, with a total population
of 600, subscribed for $50,000 in bonds,
which Is almost $100 for every man,
woman and child in the city limits.
Portland banks yesterday resembled
postal stations at holiday time. Crowds
of people were lined up at tbe coun
ters to subscribe for bonds, and the
rush to buy accounted for the big show
ing of the day.
Last night at 9 o'clock bells of the
city tolled twice to emphasize the fact
there were only two more days to sub
scribe to the liberty bonds. Tonight
they will toll once more to make known
there is only one day remaining.
Many Subscriptions Pledged.
From the whole state over, a shower
of telegrams pledging subscriptions to
the liberty loan fell upon C. A. Miller,
in charge of the Portland headquarters,
yesterday. It seemed there? was not a
corner of the state that Is not ln-

Heine Distributed.
Thousands of the new liberty
loan buttons, given to each pur
chaser of a liberty bond to wear,
are blossoming forth on the
lapels of Portland men and. the
dress of Portland women today.
A shipment of thousands was re
ceived yesterday from Washing
ton by the liberty loan commit
tee and the buttons were dis
tributed to the various banks so
they could be given out to all
buyers of bonds. Those who al
ready have purchased bonds can
get a button upon presenting
receipts at their banks. Those
who wear the button will be
known at once as those who
have done their duty, so far as
the purchase of bonds Is con
cerned, to help the Government
win the war.
terested in liberty bonds and fullv
determined to take a generous allotment.
"The people are responding splendid
ly." said Emery Olmstead, "and the
whole state is doing nobly. I am
elated at the result of the campaign."
Messages from up the state indicated
there are few people in Oregon today
who have not heard of the liberty
bonds and who are not directly in
terested in making Oregon's subscrip
tion a tremendous Buccess.
Committee Nearly Swamped.
So fast came reports from outside
that the committee was in a fair way
to be swamped late In the day. A com
plete check of subscriptions to avoid
duplications and to arrive at exact
totals will be a task of large propor
tions. Throughout Portland, as well as up
state, it was the popular thing yester
day to buy bonds. Both those who had
already purchased and others who had
their subscriptions to make bought and
bought freely. The First National
Bank turned in a report of a cool half
million additional to former subscrip
tions through that institution and Ladd
& Tilton reported $250,000. In addi
tion, the Ladd Estate took $50,000.
Among the big subscriptions of the
day was one for $11,000 by- the asso
ciation of mechanical employes of the
Portland Railway. Light & Power Com
pany. The Western Cooperage Company
took an additional $25,000 yesterday,
making its total $60,000.
Al Kaders Invest SSOOO.
Al Kader Temple, Order of the Mystic
Shrine, bought bonds to the amount of
$8000. James P. Moffett. potentate,
called a special meeting of the divan
of that organization and the purchase
was voted promptly.
'Harmony Lodge No. 12, A. F. and A.
M., voted to subscribe $1000 in bonds,
and the action of these two bodies is
likely to be followed by other lodges
of the city and state.
Edgar W. Smith, manager of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society here,
received a telegram yesterday from W.
A. Day. president of the Equitable, ad
vising that the original subscription of
that society has been increased to $5,
000,000. Of this sum it was advised $500,000
will be subscribed in this Federal re
serve bank district. The subscription
will be split between states in the San
Francisco district, so that Oregon will
be credited with a considerable share
of this sum; just how much is not yet
known.
Athena Bank Subscribes S.10.000.
It was stated In The Oregonlan re
cently that the First National Bank of
Athena is one of the institutions of the
state that has not subscribed to the
loan, but it was stated yesterday this
is an error and that the bank did sub-

was gratified immensely by the results
and the realization that the big ob
jects of the bond campaign had been
gained brought with it complete satis
faction. Oregon Praised for Loyalty.
C. A. Miller, Federal reserve bank
representative from San Francisco, in
charge of the bond campaign, was im
mensely pleased last night when the
day's work ended.
"This is splendid evidence that Ore
gon people are full of loyalty to the
Government and that they can be
counted upon in time of need," he said.
"The committee is greatly pleased over
the outcbme and we may safely esti
mate $10,000,000 as the total subscrip
tions here."
Although the desired goal has been
reached, the campaign will go on. All
the subscriptions possible will be taken
so that if there is a failure in any
of the other districts to reach the esti
mate, the surplus here will be avail
able to fill the gap.
Subscriptions at Once ITrged.
The committee desires earnestly that
all who intend to subscribe for bonds
will do so today. All possible sub
scriptions should be mailed tonight.
All that come in the following day
must be telegraphed to the San Fran
cisco headquarters. At noon on Friday
the list wIM close. Subscribers may
obtain bonds at their banks up to
Thursday night.
The Rose Festival will not' Interfere
with the bond campaign. There are
no holidays this week," so far as the
banks are concerned. All possible
energy will bo given to swelling the
total, and the bankers urge subscribers
to make their requests for bonds early
and not put It off until the closing
hours of the campaign.
Perhaps the record for" the state in
bond subscriptions has been made by
Atbena. according to Manager Miller.

- The Bank of California's subscription
of $200,000 on Monday was made by the
Portland institution of this chain of
banks, and credit shoould be given to
the Portland management, although the
original listing was not so set forth.
A. L. Mills and C. A. Miller visited
the Union Meat Company plant yester
day and talked to officials and em
ployes on the significance of the lib
erty loan. Subscriptions to the amount
of $11,000 already have been made at
this plant, and additional sums will be
subscribed.
The Dalles Bankers Assist.
From The Dalles yesterday came ad
vices from French & Co., bankers, that
employes of the O.-W. It- & N. Company
there had taken bonds to the amount
of $1950.
The League to Enforce Peace, of
which ex-President Taft is the head,
has taken liberty bonds to the amount
of $10,000. Moreover, all members of

A two-day canvass of Portland fire
men, undertaken Saturday by Henry R.
Blauvelt, of the Oregon Life Insurance
Company; J. W. Stevens, fire marshal,
and Charles A. Bigelow, Commissioner
of Public Finance, resulted in appli
cations for liberty loan bonds to the
amount of $10,000. Not all of the Port
land firemen have been seen yet, and
many of those already seen have indi
cated that they would make applica
tions before the close of the subscrip
tions Friday. It is probable that ap
plications from firemen will aggregate
totals several thousand dollars in ex
cess of the $10,000 already subscribed.
Fifty at Oregon City Subscribe.
Every man of a group of 60 repre
sentative business men of Oregon City
who had not previously subscribed en
tered his subscription to the liberty
loan at the regular weekly meeting
ot the Oregon City Commercial Club at
noon Tuesday. The meeting was ad
dressed by T. A. Rochester, of the Lum
bermen's Trust Company, who outlined
in fine detail the features of the Gov
ernment issue.
Oregon City banks have agreed to
lend money at 5 per cent to any sub
scribers who cannot meet the Govern
ment payments. The total subscrip
tion of Oregon City is now more than
$50,000. the estimated allotment for
the city being but $10,000. The Oregon
Woolen Mills entered a subscription for
$10,000, that figure including the sub
scriptions of employes through the
company.
Twenty-eight boys from the T. M. C.
A. volunteered their services to the
liberty loan contmlttee Tuesday morn
ing for the purpose of tacking up
placards advertising the loan on tele
phone poles on both the East Side and
West Side. Permission was granted by
the City Council for the tacking up of
these signs on condition that they be
torn down and destroyed by the boys

Gettysburg-Chickamauga Comm'ttee
Invests Fund in Bonds.
Instead of devoting its funds to Che
erection of the proposed Gettysburg
Chickamauga Peace Memorial Halls,
the executive committee of the Gettys-burg-Chickamauga
Memorial Associa
tion has decided to invest its money. in
liberty bonds until such time as the
international situation will Justify car

This action was outlined at a. recent
meeting of the association under pro
visions of the following resolution,
which was adopted unanimously:
Whereas, The conditions consequent upon
the state of wax now existing seem to ren
der inexpedient any Immediate effort upon
ine part or this association to raise a suf

contemplates: and
Whereas, This association recognizes the
fact that the raining of funds "for purposes
of meeting our National obligations in con

importance: therefore be It
Resolved. That such sums as shall be con

Champion Weight Lifter of
Nation Enlists in Marines.
SERGEANT IS HELD ALOFT
Captain Plnkston Amazed by Mus
cular Development of .Albert
PlilUp Tausclier Waiver on
, . Height Deficiency Granted .
The amateur champion heavy weight
lifter of the United States has joined
the United States Marine Corps. His
name is Albert Philip Tauscher, and he
applied for enlistment yesterday to
Captain Pinkston, officer in charge of
Marine Corps recruiting in this dis
trict. When he stripped for physical exam
ination, Tauscher's remarkable muscu
lar development attracted the admira
tion of the surgeon and Captain Pink
ston. Then it developed that Tauscher,
whose residence is at 146 Lawrence
street, Portland, claims the heavy
welght-nrting championship of the
country.
Just to demonstrate what he could
do, Tauscher asked Captain Plnkston
to select a man for him to lift above
his head with one hand. Captain Pink
ston picked out Sergeant Merrick to
undergo the experiment. Before the
sergeant realized what was up, Tausch
er had seized him with one hand, raised
him slowly above his head and held
him without so much as a quiver over
the enort.
The sergeant weighed more than 160
pounds. Tauscher himself weighed
only 161 pounds.
Tauscher was pronounced almost a
perfect man physically. His only de
fect from a Marine Corps standpoint
was that he was about one-eighth inch
under the Marine Corps minimum stand
ard of 65 inches in height. The dif
ference was so slight, and Tauscher so
finely developed a man, however, that
a waiver was asked and will undoubt-
ely be granted on the height deficiency,
