"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.

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.

paid :
"Buy all the bonds you can. 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. Kaster, naturalization clerk in
the offices of the County Clerk, wil
speak at 12:15 today to employes of the
Nicolai-Neppach Company and urge
thorn to buy bonds.
Reports from the state at large
ca me in brisk ly yesterday and, on the
w hole, were gratifying. C. C. Chapman
telegraphed his congratulations to
number of banks and local committee
where good work merited appreciation
