sprightly step if the pledge campaign
Is to be successfully concluded on
week from today.
State headquarters handled a number
of pleasing reports yesterday, accord
ing to John L. Etheridge. state director
of organization. who Is increasingly
confident that he will win his wager,
made with General Talbot of the city
forces, that outer Oregon will report
a full quota before Portland does.
. Among the messages received by 11 r.
Etherldge yesterday are:
Tawaa OTer-Sabaerlbe.
Cochran, a small town of Washington
County, is 600 per cent over-pledged.
Its quota was 12000.
Goble. in Columbia County, has tre
bled lis quota, according to the report
of R. L. Kenny, district manager.
Hood River County,- reported Truman
Butler, manager, has pledged 190,000,
or one-half its allotment with sub
scription pledges still coming in freely.
"Without hesitation I will say that
the Marshfleld district will provide its
'quota, whatever it happens to be." ran
the word from Charles Hall, of liarsh
field. riataop Canary Caafldeat.
County Chairman Judd. of Astoria,
Clatsop County, reports that the cam
paign is launched with every promise
of speedy success.
"Forget about Washington County."
telegraphed Chairman Thornburg.
Give all your attention to other dis
tricts. There is no question about
raising our quota pledge and more."
Several counties have not yet pledired
the campaign, and will start active
work with the . first of the coming
week. Jn every county, however, or
ganization work is completed and as
surance is expressed that the pledge
drive will be over within the com
ing week. State loan officials are
skeptical, to some extent, and main
tain that increased momentum must
be gathered if the schedule is kept.
Artloa Xeceaaary Here. .
"The people of Portland must be-
stir themselves," said General Talbot
yesterday, "If we are to live up to the
splendid record of other war drives.
I
XOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
The Altar of Liberty Is dedl- !
cated to the subscribers to the i
fourth liberty loan. It is desired i
that every subscriber visit the
altar and sign his name on the i
roster of loyal citizens.
The book is substantially bound
and will become a . permanent
souvenir In custody of the Ore
gon Historical Society. It will
be handed down to succeeding
ages as a testimony to the pa-
, trlotism of the citizens of Port- '
land. .,
The only formality necessary
to the signing of the document is
the exhibition to the soldier in
charge of a fourth liberty loan
button or a receipt showing you
have made the initial 10 per cent
payment required of all bond
subscribers.
EMERY OLMSTEAD.
City Chairman.
GUT TALBOT, -General.
t
Many financially able to lend the Gov
ernment substantial amounts are pledg
ing but comparatively small sums,
turely the United States is the largest
and most substantial corporation In
the world. Every citizen Is a stock
holder. Then why not pledge ourselves
to the actual limit of our Individual
resources?
"I am appealing to those who have
not yet signed the pledge cards to con
sider every angle of the problem con
fronting the city and the Nation and
to go the limit when called upon. I am
asking those who have subscribed to
consider their ability to double their
subscriptions.
Liberty Tesaple Is Open.
"Liberty Temple is open all day and
very night until 10 o'clock, so that
persons who may not be called upon
during the day can visit the Temple
during the evening and turn in their
subscriptions."
Campaigners received a real lesson
In patriotic bond salesmanship yester
day, when It became known that Ben
Selling had Induced his employes to in
crease their subscriptions from 12500
to $7100 over night, through the me
dlum of a talk that lacked every ele
ment of coercion, but abounded in the
sptrlt of "get-together" patriotism.
Said Mr. Selling, according to one of
his employes, demonstrating the at
tractive qualities of the liberty loan in
vestment:
"Folks, you think you have done well
In your subscriptions, but you have
rot subscribed fully as you should

Supplementing their splendid loyalty
to the American flag, in sending hun
dreds of their men to the battle front
Portland citizens of Greek blood are
joining heartily in the fourth liberty
loan campaign. Probably In no sec
tion of the city Is greater interest mani
fested.
In addition to the work of Captain
Boring's team, in the Greek colony,
residents of that district, under the
leadership of Thomas Glvas, have or
ganized a group of volunteer solicitors,
it Is their avowed purpose to secure a
pledge from every resident of their
race, and for this purpose the le'aders
have arranged a series of nightly en
tertainments. Bands will parade and
speeches will be delivered throughout
the colony.
Bakery Employes Respond.
Every employe of the, Log Cabin Bak
ery, according to information received
at Liberty Temple, has subscribed for at
least one bond of the fourth loan, the
total pledges amounting to $12,800. or
more than double those made in the
third drive.
Exactly one week remains in which
Portland and Oregon may redeem their
pledge to have completed the liberty
loan work on the morning of Septem
ber 28. Hundreds of individually in
spiring instances do not typify the gen
eral response to the fourth loan. In
Portland, particularly, there is need
for more determined action than ever.
' PortUad Hast Not" Fall.
"Portland people who do not wish to
be classed as slackers," said Chairman
Olmetead, late last night, "must sub
scribe more liberally for liberty bonds
than in any of the previous drives.
They are not being called upon, for
more than their share. Every city and
hamlet in the United States has been

on the part1 of the'eommittee in charge,
no specific mention has been made of
