Fupils at the various schools mani
fested an intense interest in the sub

children in larjzre numbers indicated by
raising- their hands that they had al
ready subscribed for bonds of small
denominations, others in the same way
ltiedsed themselves to carry the mes

their part towards completing Oregon's
Quota to the second liberty loan.
. At some of the schools the speakers

some relative serving- in the service of
the country to raise their hands. The
response was surprising, the hands of
fully one-third of the pupils going up.
