THE 3IORNTXG OEEGONIAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1918. 3 BILL HEtiDY, CLOWN PRINCE, SHATTERED Liberty Temple Effigies Are Overthrown With Fitting Public Ceremonies. VARIED PROGRAMME HELD Club" membership, with many unre ported, had attained 285, which trans lates in cash and pledges to $285,000. Like a boulder, slow in starting-, the drive is gathering impetus as it goes, and observers declare that it will be irresistible henceforth. Employes, of Olds, Wortman Cc. King have pledged $20,000. The booth in Ladd & Tilton's Bank, in charge of Mrs. W. C. Stone, sold $10,000 in cash and $2000 in pledges in a single day. The first 100 per cent industrial plant to report is that of Neustadter Bros., where 386 employes, of whom 95 per cent are girls, have pledged and own a total of $12,375, or an average of $20.75. Here's an odd. stony of timely re pentance: An Kast Side resident, who shalL be nameless, was wroth at the i5und Concert, Community Singin; and Patriotic Addresses Speed Personification of Prussian Tyranny to Doom. Three merry fiends from the pit danced about the prostrate figures of Kaiser Bill, Hindy and the Clown Prince last night at Liberty Tem ple, amid flaring red lights. In the end they hopped on the fallen great, as sisted by rollicking Boy Scouts, and reduced them to flinders. Judge R. G. Morrow orated at the rough obsequies of the trio, who have stood before the temple for the past several days, the target of uncompli mentary stickers from the thousands who bought war stamps. It was all a part of the prank that closed the exer cises and public rally, and the red garbed imps were merely three of the local lodge of Elks, directed by Charles . Ringler. Programme la Varied. The programme was prepared by George W. Caldwell, chairman of the speakers' bureau. There were patriotic tunes by the Supple & Ballin band, com munity singing led by Mrs. Anna Han sen, and addresses by Manager Frank McCrllHs. Judge Morrow and William K. Sweet and J. A. Whitmore, T. M. C. A. secretaries who recently returned from service on the western front. "We forget, friends," said Mr. Sweet, bidding his audience be of high faith In victory, "that we have landed 1,000, 000 men, and that we have lost only a little more than 200 by the U-boats. So far as the submarine Is concerned, it has long ago passed the stage, in any sense, of being a determining factor in this war. "The words I, and me. and mine," he charged, speaking of the war stamp Issue, "are no longer current.- It is 'mine. Men and women. It is', our bounden duty to lay our dollars down beside the men who are willing to lay their lives down for us!" Sacrifice Spirit Exemplified. A little story of the western front served to illustrate the fiery plea for united effort that ran through Mr. Whitmore's address. He told of three wounded soldiers, prostrate, waiting for attendance. The two at the sides were desperately wounded, the one in the center had laid for more than a day' on No Man's Land. Somewhere he had secured a cake of chocolate, and from time to time he fed it to his comrades, taking no morsel himself. It was only when the others were cared for that he asked for food, revealing that he had been without rations for 48 hours. "Do you catch that?" asked the speaker. "That is the spirit of the sol dier on the western front. He thinks about the other fellow first how he can help him carry on!" Oregon Apple Boosted. An unusual meeting, which featured the Oregon apple, took place last night at Liberty Temple, vhen Mr. Sweet, whose home is in Denver, met C. W. McCullach, of Hood River, an official of the Hood River Apple. Growers' Asso ciation. For the one was instrumental In the sending of a shipment of Oregon apples to the American troops in France, and the other, as a Y. M. C. A. secretary, helped distribute the fruit to our boys in the Toul sector. "Nothing could have pleased them more," recalled Mr. Sweet. "I wish you all might have seen those boys as they reached for the big apples from back home. When I returned to Den ver I told the folks that they must send some on their own account, lest the fame of the Oregon apple utterly super sede that of the Colorado product." XV. S. S. BUY THE LIMIT STAMP DRIVE TO CLOSE (Continued From First Pasre.) able to Invest must Invest In war sav ings stamps. "The call Is from the Government, and Portland must answer It as ring lngly as she answered the liberty loan appeals. There must be no argument among men of means. The day is late, and nothing save cash and pledges talk tor the loyalist. "Progress of the campaign has dem onstrated that it is next to impossible to raise the city's quota in the small1 amounts, many of which represent actual sacrifice. It is now th duty, as it always was. for those who can Invest the maximum amount to do so. Who of those would willingly wait for confiscation, which is the right of the Government in its peril? "Don't argue aid! The men who will ask you to pledge are working for you. It is your war as well as theirs. They are entitled to your Instant co operation. Come through!" Last Day for Limits. Today is the last day on which mem berships to the "Limit Club" may be purchased for $834, payable in the first and in six additional installments, though the full amount may be taken up at any time by the investor. General Talbot has issued instruc tions to the flying squadron colonels to report results this afternoon at 5:30, at his offices on the fourth floor of the Gasco building, when it is hoped that the "Limit Club" memberships will have turned the tide to victory in Portland's quota. Organization of the flying squad ron was the outgrowth of a meeting of business men and bankers, held the previous day at Liberty Temple, with A. L. Mills as chairman. From the state at large come none cave the most happy reports. Each message tells of this district or that county which has attained its quota vnd is still driving forward. At no time since the drive was set going has there been doubt of the issue elsewhere in the state. Deschutes County Leads. Deschutes County is first in announc ing complete attainment of its quota a trick that 15 districts turned, alone and unaided, with several thousand dol lars to spare. Seven additional dis tricts are yet to be heard from, and will further swell the over-subscription. Clatsop County is second to achieve success, and predicts the pledging of more than $500,000. Its quota was $370, 000. Hammond and Knappa, each with quotas of $2500, have pledged $7000 and $12,000, respectively, while Blind rilough has belied its name by several thousand in over-subscription. Portland roused yesterday to the necessity for something other than words. All day solicitors telephoned headquarters of growing success, while Liberty Temple was taxed to cane for the throngs that made cash purchases at the war stamp wicket. An estimate last night placed the day's cash receipts at the temple beyond $30,000. Late yesterday afternoon the Limit FINAL INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN COLONELS AND CAPTAINS. The war savings drive has not been tuned high enough. Pledges are hot large enough. We are not as yet over the top. At the 12 o'clock meeting Thursday all colonels and captains present were instructed to make a care ful survey of the pledges In each precinct and make a recanvass where it appeared the pledges were too small. The best results can be secured by the captain of the precinct visiting the maker of the pledge himself and asserting frankly but courteously that the pro rate for each man. woman and child is $20 and endeavor to raise the pledge. Make it clear that no one is giving anything; that money Invested is money saved. Uncle Sam is the safest and best bank er and pays a higher rate of in terest than any bank. The more a person takes the more he saves. In case of need he can get his money any time with interest. Captains should get their work ers together Saturday and go carefully over the returns before sending them to the colonel. Make a recanvass wherever it seems likely the pledge can be raised. Results since Thursday noon are much better than previously, pledges being at least one-half higher than those taken the first two days. Turn your report in at the Temple unless Instructed by the colonel to deliver It else where. By united effort, we can be "over the top" Saturday night. Fellow workers, do your best. FRANK McCRILLIS. General Commanding Portland Forces. CHARGE PURCHASES TODAY WILL GO Off JULY BILLS MADE PAYABLE AUGUST 1 yellow card, refused to accept it, and told the solicitors that war savings stamps were not worth the paper they were printed on. During the night he thought it over, and yesterday monning visited a notary public, before whom he made affidavit that he had bought liberty bonds and war savings stamps and was anxious to buy more. Forwarding this apology, he telephoned Liberty Temple that he awaited another solicitor. The so licitor refused to return. A half hour later the penitent came to the tem ple and made amends. City Chairman Frank McCrillls solved a grocer's dilemma and added two memberships to the "Limit Club" at one stroke. The grocer wanted to buy $500 worth, but was loth to lose the interest on his savings account, which was due on Tuesday. "That's easy," advised Mr. McCrillls. "Sign pledges for two 'Limit Club' mem berships and draw the money on Tues day." With a comfortable savings bank balance of $6000, the grocer complied. Stamps AVill Cost More. Warning is 'issued that those who are pledged to buy stamps In the month of June must do so today and must have them In their possession tonight, as the stamps will advance In cost one cent each beginning Monday.
