PATRIOTIC WEEK WILL BE
PROCLAIMED.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 8. (Special.)
Governor Withycombe an
nounced today that he would is
sue a proclamation within a day
or two declaring the week from
October 14 to 20 as Patriotic
week in connection with the lib
erty loan campaign.
The executive also was advised
by telegraph today from William
Sproule, president of the South
ern Pacific, that he company
had purchased $250,000 worth of
liberty bonds as the allotment
for Oregon. In addition, Mr.
Sproule said, the company is of
fering particularly favorable con
ditions and liberal terms, to em
ployes for the purchase of the
bonds, and Oregon will be cred
ited with her proper share of
bonds so purchased.
Chairmen of the subcommittees of
distribution of the second liberty loan
campaign in Portland, with members of
their individual committees, assembled
at luncheon yesterday in the Hotel
Portland and laid plans for the start of
the local drive today. Twenty-four
chairmen and approximately 100 asso
ciates were present.
C. A. Miller, campaign manager for
Oregon, who piloted the frist liberty
loan triumphantly to port, outlined the
duties of the solicitors and explained
the selling points of the new liberty
bond issue.
The sales system which goes into ef
fect in Portland today, explained Mr.
Miller, is the same that produced re
markable results in San Francisco dur
ing the first campaign and is based
' upon the canvassing of each business
by its own members as represented by
specially selected chairmen and com
mittees working under the general di
rection of the distribution committee.
Committers to Meet Weekly.
Mr. Miller announced that the sub
committee chairmen and their forces
are to meet at least once a week for
conference at luncheon in the Hotel
Portland and set Monday noon as the
date for the next meeting. These In
formal conferences are aimed to
strengthen the committees by inter
change of ideas and the inspiration of
reported successes.
Briefly. Mr. Miller explained the
status of the new issue, emphasizing
the fact that, while 3 per cent bonds
of the first issue may be exchanged for
the new 4 per cent issue or for any
further issue that the Government may
make during the war, such a transac
tion does not benefit the Government,
nor does it swell by a single cent the
quota to be raised.
"The exchange is a separate transac
tion between the individual and the
Government," said Mr. Miller, "and
does not apply in any way upon the
National quota of $3,000,000,000. If
holders of the 33 per cent bonds care
to sell them and reinvest in the second
Issue, that's an altogether different
matter.
"The 3V4 per cents have slipped a
trifle below par since the 4s were of
fered. A person holding $10,000 of
the first issue probably would lose $25
In the transaction after paying all
commissions. The sacrifice is trifling
and anyone should be willing to make
bis money do double duty.
Jiew Bonds Available Soon.
Mr. Miller announced that the new
bonds would be available by the third
week In October and that no delay will
be met with in their distribution to in
vestors.
"We've got to get it," said Mr. Mlllen
referring to Oregon's quota of $16,500,
000, "and you. gentlemen, are going to
be 90 per cent of the means of getting
It. Whether we like it or not, we've
got to do it. If we don't, it's going
to De taKen out or us ty taxation."
That the country districts must con
tribute liberally, and that bonds of
smaller denominations must be pushed
vigorously was the campaign mana
ger's summing up of the situation it
Oregon.
Subscriptions Announced.
H. H. Ward, chairman of the insur
ance subcommittee, reported $20,000 in
subscriptions as follows: Paul Bates,
Individual subscription, $10,000; McCar
gar. Bates & Lively, $5000; Guaranty

PATRIOTIC WEEK IS OBSERVED
Climax of Hood River Liberty Loan
Campaign to Come Friday.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Oct. 8. (Special.)
The climax of the local drive for the
fcecond liberty loan will be reached
here Friday, when a mass meeting will
be held at Heilbronner Hall. Despite
the fact that apple harvest will be at
its height, arrangements are being
made for one of the largest patriotic
demonstrations ever held in Hood
River.
Merchants are observing the week
with patriotic window displays.
Truman Butler, chairman of the lib
erty loan committee, declares that In
dications point to subscriptions in ex
cess of the first loan, more than $50,
000 of which were taken by local citizens.
HORSES TO Kl'X FOR RED CROSS
Purse of $10,000 to Be Competed
For by Fast Three-Year-Olds.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 8. Whichever of
the crack 3-year-olds, Hourless or Omar
Khayyam, comes first under the wire
n the match race at Laurel on Thurs
day, the Red Cross will be the winner
of the $10,000 purse hung up by the
Maryland Fair Association for what is
expected to be the biggest turf event
of the year.
Following the receipt of a telegram
today from August Belmont, owner of
Hourless, announcing that if his horse
won, the purse would go without de
duction to the Red Cross. Wilfrid Vian,
owner of Omar Khayyam, announced
that if his horse won the Red Cross
would get the purse just the same. The
winner of the race, therefore, will be
content with the $1500 championship
gold cup offered by E. B. McLean, of
Washington.

including the Castleton stake, which
was won by Mabel Trask, and the
champion futurity, won by Opera Ex

else. Following his old tactics when
racing against the stallion. Cox laid
Mabel Trask in behind and trailed until
the head of the stretch, when he
pulled out and outbrushed St. Frisco

ARMY ELEVEN, WHICH DEFEATED LINCOLN PARK SUN-
DAY, 23-0.
Company A, Third Oregon Left to Right, Rear: Frailer, Tackle;
Sparkes, Guard; Curl, End; Hennagin, Center; Norgard, Guard;
Holmes. Tackle; Murray, Tackle. Front: O'Dell. End; Wood,
Half; Mardls, Quarter; Champion, Fullback; Mead, Halfback.
Company A, Third Oregon, defeated the Lincoln Park eleven, 23
to 0, in an exciting and well-attended game played on the Columbia
Park gridiron last Sunday. A crowd of 500 attended the game.
The Army eleven, with the exception of but two men, is the identi
cal McMinnville High School team, which "Tick" Malarkey coached
to the championship of the Valley last year, and which was clearly
one of the strongest high school teams banded together in the entire
Northwest for some time.
The Lincoln Park aggregation, coached by Arthur C. Stubling,
Interscholastic League referee, was outweighed 15 pounds to 'the man,
as the soldiers tipped the beam at close to 170. The game was a bit
slow, due to lack of previous scrimmage on the part of both teams,
but -the soldiers showed a powerful offensive and a defense which
was pierced only a few times.
The features were the punting- and place-kicking of Holmes, of
Company A; the line-plunging Of Champion, Wood and Meade, of
the same team, and the splendid running back of punts by the Lin
coln Park boys.

"I want to know about the liberty
loan."
Hundreds of persons make this re
quest at liberty loan headquarters
every day. But yesterday afternoon
brought forth an exceptional instance.
The woman who inquired gave to the
commonplace query a touch of un
mistakable German accent.
I am a German," said Mrs. Gustave
K. Hartung, of 1224 East Main street.
and my husband is a German. He
has never taken out naturalization
papers. But we believe that, while we
are Germans, we should support the
country in which we are living. What
is a liberty loan bond, and how do you
get one?" .
They told her how a bond Is pur
chased, how the income of the invest
ment is paid and explained the differ
ence between registered and coupon
bonds. In the case of registered bonds,
she was informed, the Government
must send a check for the interest
twice each year.
No, I think we would like to have
the other kind," replied Mrs. Hartung.
"I do not wish to put the Government
to any extra expense. We'll have to
save and go without some things.
maybe, but my husband and I are going
to buy two $50 bonds for our little
boy and girl. Uncle Sam has been good
to us."
Papers Will Be Taken Oat.
When the war is over, Mrs. Hartung
told them, she and her husband will
not delay in taking the steps that are
necessary to citizenship. Meanwhile,
she added, the liberty loan investment
must stand as proof of their loyalty
to the land which befriended them and
as their protest against Kaiserism. She
assured her informer that she would
tell her husband what she had learned.
and return to purchase the bonds to
day.
Judge Henry E. McGinn, fresh from
his opening bout for the liberty loan
at Newberg, and hastening to patch the
train for Astoria, where he was an
nounced to speak last night, came into
the headquarters office yesterday. He
looked belligerently around and seized
upon a pen. The check he handed In
was for $2500.
"Put me down for a $2500 liberty
bond," commanded Judge McGinn. "I
am putting up all my available cash,
but if I get in any more money I in
tend to apply it on more bonds. I'd
sell my property, gladly, to make the
loan a success. The Government needs
the money, the investment is gilt
edged, and it's distinctly up to Ameri
cans., to furnish funds for the boys who
are going to whip the Kaiser."
Speaker Mtsmea Train.
The Judge missed his train, pre
sumably through the delay at head
quarters, and at 2 o'clock jounced away
in a high-powered auto, racing for As
toria over roads that are charitabl.'
described as "rough." Astoria held a
mammoth meeting of patriotic demon
stration last night, and Judge McGinn
was sorely needed to lend fire and
vigor to the speechmaking.
Among the man-' letters that brought
subscriptions to headquarters yester
day was one from C. B. Johnson, post
master at Airlie, Or. It held a check
for $1000, signed by J. J. Leveck, of
Airlie, made payable to the postmaster
and indorsed in turn to the liberty loan
committee.
"Mr. Leveck came into the postoffice
today," wrote Postmaster Johnson, "and
handed me this $1000 check. He said
that he was making his subscription
out in my name, as a representative of
the Government." Mr. Leveck is a
well-to-do farmer, living in the vicin
ity of Airlie.
It was announced yesterday at head
quarters that, although the subscrip
tion had not actually been received, the
Southern Pacific Company would di
vert $250,000 to the Oregon quota from
Its huge liberty loan investment.

DUCKS SAID TO BE SHY
HUNTERS REPORT WATERFOWL
SCARCER THIS SEASON.
Some Klmrods Are Inclined to Ridicule
"Savc-t he-Wheat" Movement aa
Applied to Ducks.
Many well-known local sportsmen
who spent the week-end duck hunting
north of the city have returned, some
with ducks and some with alibis. The
gist of the situation seems to be that
it is a bit harder to bag the waterfowl
this season than usual, owing princi
pally to the substitution of potato
scraps, celery and greens in place of
the usual wheat in feeding the ducks.
Some hunters think the "save-the-
wheat" movement as applied to duck
hunting is a practical measure, while
others say that the quality of wheat
used was always of the poorest, and
that, as the birds were well worth the
few cents spent in wheat, the new
movement is an absurdity.
Most of the week-enders passed their
outing in the marshes along the north
boundary of the state. Sauvies' Island,
the old stamping-ground, as usual fur
nished the birds for a majority of the
Nimrods.
"Al Segan and I spent the day at
Lake Farm, on the islandv" said Ken
neth Norris. Had fair luck, although
the weather was far too good for
ducks."
Aaron Frank bagged five at Fair
view. Gene Farrell had good luck at Lake
Farm, as did Bob Phillips.
Jim Sheldon and Frank PhillffJpi
tramped the island, not far from the
farm, and also had some good shoot

CLATSOP STIRRED
BY JUDGE M GINN
Speaker Lashes Slackers and
Pleads for Bond Subscrip
tions at Astoria Meeting.
ARMY OFFICERS APPEAL
Portland Man Makes Long Anto
Trip in Order to Reach Seaport
for Sleeting Soldiers Lend
Military Aid to Gathering.
ASTORIA. Or., Oct. 8. (Special.)
"Every man who is in Astoria tonight
who has not enlisted in his country's
service owes the Government $300 and
then some," said Judge Henry E. Mc
Ginn, of Portland, tonight in address
ing an Astoria audience.
"When Grover Cleveland was called
to serve his country," continued the
speaker, "he paid $300 for a substitute.
Tou cannot buy a substitute now, but
these men who are wearing the olive
drab are going to the front in your
place and mine. It is our duty to pay
the Government in order that they
may have of the necessities, if not of
the comforts."
Judge McGinn was the principal
speaker at a mass meeting attended
by a vast crowd from all sections of the
county and was the firing of the first
gun in the liberty bond campaign in
Clatsop County.
Hard Auto Trip Made.
Judge McGinn showed little effects
of his strenuous trip from Portland.
At noon today he discovered that he
could not get to Astoria via rail or
water in time for tonight's meeting
and that the valley highways were
closed. There was only one route open
via McMinnville, Tillamook, Garibaldi
and Nehalem. A high-powered automo
bile, a dare-devil chauffeur and a cour
ageous passenger made the trip possi
ble. Rough roads, mud, corduroy, steep
grades and sand were swept aside. The
trip probably will stand for some time
as the record between here and Port
land via the long route.
Judge McGinn arrived several hours
late, but he held his audience for over
two hours, notwithstanding the late
hour, and aroused such enthusiasm
among the people that numerous bond
subscriptions are bound to result.
Dealing hard blows at the slackers,
those who are not trying to do their
bit to aid the country in its time of
need, but are bending their energies
toward hampering the President and
the Administration. Judge McGinn said
in part:
Pope's Position Opposed.
"It is time to talk sense and auit our
dreaming. Theee boys who have en
listed at their country's call have not
had a square deal. There is not a boy
among them who has had a run for his
money and still we intend to send them
across the seas to fight for us. Do
you know who should pay for all this?
You and I who have lived all these
years and have not insisted on the
establishment of universal military
training.
'If we had had military training
among our young men in the years
gone by, our country would not have
been in the predicament that it was at
the openign of this war. The only
thing we can do now is to help with
our money and it is the duty of every
one of us to give all we can."
'I am a Roman Catholic, but I do not
agree with the Pope in his peace mani
festo, but I do agree with President
Wilson in his answer. I agree with the
Pope when he says we all want peace.
We do want it, but differ with his
assertion that every nation in this war
is equally at fault."
Prussian System Indicted.
The cause of all the world's woes at
this time is Prussian militarism and
that must be put down. These young
men will help do that, but we must
help them by buying the Liberty bonds.
In this campaign the women have a
great work before them. A preacher
once said and I think he is right that
men rule the world, but women rule the
men. If these women will but enter
this campaign with enthusiasm, they
will sell every bond which the Govern
ment offering and the Nation will then
be in a position to wage this righteous
war to a successful end.
One feature of the meeting was the
presence of the Coast Artillery Band
of 50 pieces, as well as Colonel Ellis,
Colonel Hammond, their staffs and more
than 200 men from the forts about the
mouth of the river. They announced
that the men at the forts have already
subscribed for more than $37,000 Liber
ty bonds and intend to double that
amount.
Officers Appeal for Bonds.
Colonel Ellis, in addressing the meet
ing, said it was the patriotic duty of
every citizen to buy a bond.
"We are not down to the real war
yet," he said, "in my opinion, the strug
gle will continue two or even three
years yet. There has been a liberal
donation of brawn by the young men
of the country. You are not asked to
donate your life or even your time, but
simply to make an investment at the
same rate of interest the savings bank
will pay and in the ? est savings bank
in the world." f
Colonel Hammond said: "We have
1400 Oregon boys at the forts about
the mouth of the Columbia now. Those
boys have purchased more than $37,000
in liberty bonds. Everyone of them
has made a sacrifice in leaving his
family and friends and giving up good
positions. They are ready and will
ing to go wherever the country sends
them. You certainly can subscribe to
the bonds as we have. I believe that
if the country needs our services - it
has the right to take them without a
cent of pay. T also believe it has the

Everyone recognizes the value of ex

importance to be done, we go to an

Tears ago It was realized that medi

one man to master its every branch.
Hence the doctor who specialized in
some particular branch became the

Simply a few pulls on its chain and
the heaviest car is raised or lowered
without danger and without exertion.
Every motorist has dreaded using the ordinary jack an
unpleasant operation, to say the least, and constantly
fraught with danger and much tiresome work. Now all
the unpleasant, disagreeable features have been entirely
eliminated by the Weed Chain-Jack. ,With it, whether
raising or lowering the car, you are always out of harm'
way No knocking of head, or soiling of clothes against
springs or other projections No skinning of knuckles
or flying up of a "handle" No chance of the car coming
down, often resulting in serious bodily injury Infinitely
easier to operate than any jack on the market.
To operate a Weed Chain-Jack It Is
not necessary to get down in a
cramped, strained . position and
grovel in mud, grease or dust under
a car to work a "handle" that is
apt to fly up, with unpleasant results.
To lift a car with the Weed Chain
Jack, simply give a few pulls on its
endless chain while you stand erect
clear from springs, tire carriers
and other projections. To tower a
ear pull the chain in opposite direc
tion. Up or down there's no labor.
