THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1917. t OREGON'S FOND IS $1 BIGGER Liberty Loan Subscriptions Pour In and Enthusiasm Is Greatly Enhanced. WEAK SPOTS BRACED UP Workers In Country Districts No tified to Commandeer Best Tal ent Available, if Necessary, in Country's Service. "ontinued From First Pace.) attention to the patriotic duty we aJl owe our country by subscribing- gen erously to the second liberty loan. "Up to date Portland is far behind in subscribing for its allotment. "It is imperative that subscriptions be speedily and materially increased. "Aside from heavily subscribing themselves, the Portland banks are willing to assist purchasers by loaning against the bonds at 5 per cent interest. For example. If anyone wishes to pur chase a 11000 bond, all that he needs is $20 for the first 2 per cent pay ment. Any clearing-house bank will loan him the remainder, $980, as the payments are required, to wit: 18 per cent Xovember 15, 40 per cent Decem ber 15 and 40 per cent January 15, 1918. Price Likely to Go "Up. "It is probable the bonds can be sold at par at any time, but it is pos sible they may be worth more than par, as today United States 4s are 105. "In the latter case the purchaser will be out nothing and will receive a premium for his patriotism. Taking a $1000 bond as an example, it is easy to figure the possible cost to the pur chaser if he subscribes for $10,000, $20,000, $50,000 or $100,000 of bonds. "When our depositors understand what little actual outlay becomes necessary in order to subscribe for a generous amount of bonds, there should be no difficulty in Portland's making good on its riuota. With the banks willing to advance 98 per cent of any one's subscriptions, if our city does not take its quota, the shame and disgrace will justly rest upon those slackers who have failed the Government in its time of need. "Bank of California of North America, "Canadian Bank of Commerce, "First National Bank, 'Hibernia Savings Bank, 'Ladd & Tilton Bank,, "Northwestern National Bank, "United States National Bank." Workers Are Commandeered. Another step was taken yesterday that speaks of firm determination to reach the total asked of Oregon: C C. Chapman, at headquarters, sent out a sheaf of telegrams to banks in localities where weak spots have ap peared to commandeer the services of prominent citizens and conscript them for the task of raising bond subscrip tions. The order is absolute. Everything else is to be cast aside and a whirlwind finish, with the whole state aroused as never before, is now the predominant need of the hour. "No loyal citizen can refuse to serve the Government in this work when the demand is made upon him," said Mr. Chapman. "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the lib erty loan.' There were rousing scenes at Camp Wlthycombe yesterday afternoon, when a. handful of spellbinders of the liberty loan campaign i-poke to the 900 men of the Third Oregon now in camp.

When you get over in Fruce, if you want anything, consult your officers and let me know." The men addressed have already bought bonds to the amount of $63,000, an added proof, if any were needed, of thei r intense loyalt y. The average of bonds hold by the regiment is about Sso for each ma n. The Aetna Life Insurance Company yesterday announced to headquarters that it would purchase $lt00 worth of bonds and prevent them to its 16 sala ried employes here. The bonds become the absolute property of employes who remain with the company for a, period of 20 months from date. Should any leave the Aetna employ, they will share In the bond funds on a pro rata basis for term of service. In addition, the company is selling bonds on easy terms to employes. Cluh Purchase Advocated. Mrs. Sarah A. Kvans will go to Frine ville next Monday to attend the con vention of the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs. She will urge tha surplus funds of the organization be invested in liberty bonds. J. B.
