THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 20, 1917. " LIBERTY LOAN NEAR $7,080,000 MARK Enthusiasm Grows as Workers Redouble Zeal and Another Million Is Expected Today. MR. MILLER GETS RESULTS Xack of Interest Reported In Sec tions of Eastern Oregon Despite Fact That Farmers Are Draw - lng War Prices for Wheat. fContlnu.d From TMret Pags.) - nary 15, bonds may easily be sold. The money can be had, "If desired. There is no occasion to wait till the bonds ma ture to realize their face value. "They are as liquid as currency and as ood as a greenback." C. A. Miller, state manager of the campaign, returned yesterday from a Jive-day trip in which he injected "pep" Into the Eastern Oregon cam paign. He exhorted the farmers, or ganized the bankers and played the role of the missionary generally. Results were what he wanted and. ha got them. Farmer la homed. In a smalt city In the wheat belt he riappened to be in the bank when a farmer came in and bought a 1100 bond. Mr. Miller got Into talk with him and learned during? the conversation that the farmer had made $22,000 on wheat this year. "I suppose the 1100 bond you Just bought wae for your little girl," said Mr. Miller. "No," said the farmer, "it is mine." Mr. Miller then unleashed his powers of persuasion and the dialogue resulted in the farmer's tearing up his first ap plication and taking bonds to the .mount of $2500. Wheat Growers Are Lax. 1 In Athena, Weston, Milton and Free water, where farmers have big bank balances as the result of the wheat crop, Mr. Miller found no interest at all In the liberty loan. He started a cam paign there and speakers are going out. Mr. Miller himself told the farmers that if the liberty loan Is not raised the Government must resort to the most drastic taxation. He asked how they would like to have a tax of 30 cents on a bushel of wheat. This argument usually made an impression. Pendleton was found to be active and no work needed to be done there. La Grande is also doing great work, said Mr. Miller. Baker is starting nicely and at The Dalles and Hood River all are aroused and are doing their bit. Rosebvrsr Kext Objective. Mr. Miller will start out again Sun day night for Roseburg and will work back to Portland, visiting the cities en route to Portland.

Dunlway will address the Boy Soouts at the Central Library and at 8:30 tonight A. L. Dundas will speak at the Community House at Sell wood. The subject at all these gather ings will be the liberty bonds and the need of subscribing for them will be impressed. Perhaps the biggest meeting 'of the campaign in Portland will be that scheduled for the Eleventh-Street The ater next Tuesday night, when Cyrus l'ierce, of San Francisco, who developed Into a leading speaker in the south during the lirst bond campaign, will address the audience. An effort is to be made to get Dr. William T. Foster, president of Reed College, just returned from France, who will reach Portland probably next Tuesday, to tell of his experiences. Another big feature for the meeting is the showing of the four-reel Fathe motion picture, "In the Wake of the Hun." which has been procured through the courtesy of the local Pathe- ex change.

Jackson County's subscription to the second liberty loan took a sensational Jump tonight when a grand total of approximately $150,000 was reached. In Medford the ino.ooo mark was reached, which is over 40 per cent of the total allotment of $260,000. Ash land reported $42,000, which is about 30 per cent of their allotment of $140,000. The rapid advance was caused by the first active solicitation on the part of the local committees, the former sub scriptions having been voluntary. The Elks Lodge arranged today to finance its members on the dollar-a-week plan, as did a number of the larger business houses. J. A. Westerlund, former State Representative, offered to advance money to local school children without interest for the purchase of bonds on a $3 a month basis and over a dozen school children promptly subscribed. It is no exaggeration to say that Medford and Jackson County have gone wild over liberty loan bonds, and while the first loan was under-subscribed in Medford, committeemen are confident this one will be fully subscribed, in spite of the fact that the amount to be raised has been doubled. BANKS HELP BOXD BUYERS Marsbfield Will Probably Subscribe Its Quota Xext Week. MARSHFIELD, Or., Oct. 19. (Spe cial.)

Many bonds here are being purchased for babies and small children. The late subscriptions run from $50 to $500. Enthusiasm is creeping into the cam paign and the quota is expected to be filled by the middle of next week. German-Made Peace Xot Wanted. NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. Oct. 19. (Special.) "To hell with a German made peace." Dr. Mark A. Matthews, of Seattle, told a large liberty loan audi ence in the N'orth Yakima Theater Wednesday night.

Ing followed in the Courthouse and was called to order by ex-Circuit Judge Bernard Bailey, who introduced Rev. Howell Isaac, of the Presbyterian Church, and his chorus choir, The choir rendered several patriotic' selec tions. Judge Bailey said the time had ar rived for the people of the United States to prove their patriotism and while many were not physically able to go into the trenches all could buy liberty bonds. Lake County Lauded. Judge Stevenson said Lake County had subscribed more liberally than perhaps any other part of the state and showed the people here were loyal to the Nation. He said the time for raisTng the loan is half gone and Ore gon has subscribed only a small portion of her allotment. "If the loan is not oversubscribed it will indicate to the enemy that our people are not be hind the Government," he said. "Our duty is clear in this matter and as President Wilson has said, we have chosen our course." Judge Stevenson said that because a man came from a foreign country was no indication of his disloyalty and the actions of a few radicals should not be construed as representing the feelings of the whole people. Slackers Are Scored. In speaking of the German sub marines Judge Stephenson referred to them as "helldivers," stopping peaceful commerce on the ocean, a right which had been ours since the time of Colum bus. He mentioned some of the parti culars of a talk made recently in Portland by ex-Consul Wesley Frost, of Queenstown, Ireland, Illustrating the horrors of this kind of warfare. He concluded by asking what man or woman can afford to be a slacker when they can loan money to the Gov ernment at 4 per cent and be a patriot, lion tl Are Kxplalned. Mr. Lethbridge spoke on the absolute security of the tax-free liberty bonds. He said that in purchasing these bonds the people are helping to "keep the Stars and Stripes intact. "Any alien who has $50 and refuses to buy a bond should be shipped back home," said the speaker. Blanks vyere then circulated among the crowd and approximately $40,000 was subscribed. The committee left this morning, accompanied by W. H. Splerk. of the First National Bank, who will act as chairman of the meetings to be held at Paisley and Silver Lake.
