Upon the success of your et fort this week depends whether your chapter must again go to the people before next Christmas. The success of the rollcall clearly depends upon reaching every adult with the request to Join, as no loyal American will refuse. Reports thus far indicate a comparatively small enrollment in Ore gon. Nevertheless we are confident that you can and will get 100 per cent." Five Conntlea Over Top. Reports which have come to State Manager Witham's office show that only five of the 31 Red Cuoss chap ters in the state have exceeded last year's total membership. Every county is expected to at least equal their 1917 marks If the rollcall is to be a success. Hood River last night reported a membership of 2000. 103 in excess of last year. Union County has far ex ceeded her best previous record of 5681 by enrolling 8000. Wasco County was the first In the tate to beat last year's figrures, reporting 6314. compared with 6701. Clackamas County has 9000 memberships, 140 more than last year. Judge Lowell has reported Umatilla County 100 per cent, estimating 10.000 by Monday, compared with 9538 last year. Western Washington County has en rolled 1200, with the Fairview. Watts and Fernhill districts 100 per cent, ac cording to Judge Lowell's report.' East ern Washington County has 2600 mem bers, more than last year. Sherman County has 1250 members. Guard Will Sweep City. Harney County's total is 960, Astoria E213 and Pilot Rock, with a population of only 1600, including children, has reported 786 members. There will be far from any slacken ing in the campaign pace in Portland today, for Red Cross headquarters at Liberty Temple will be open as usual, and the forces of the Multnomah Guard will be marshalled to sweep the city in a mighty effort to reach the 100 per cent rollcall mark on the last, day but one of the campaign. Orders have been issued by Colonel Campbell for the guardsmen to assemble at the Armory at 8 o'clock this morning. Officers met there last night to receive instruc- tions and Red Cross ammunition. Eighty stalwart men in their service uniforms of olive drab and 20 canteen women this morning will carry the roll call campaigni into some 60 Portland churches. The force will mobilize at Liberty Temple at 9:30 this morning, where they will be given their supplies and assignments by Mrs. A. R. Innes, assistant city manager. Members of the squadron will be taken in auto mobiles to the churches where they will be given the place of honor on the morning service programmes. Red Cross Activities Told. "The Red Cross is the greatest or ganization in the world today." This is the statement made by Mrs. Edmond C. Giltner. prominent Port land woman, who left Oregon last May for Red Cross service in Paris, in a letter under date of November 26, re ceived yesterday by City Manager Reed. "I am wondering if you will have the Red Cross heart and dollar drive in December as we had .last year," Mra Giltner wrote. "How I would love to be in Portland to help and tell some thing of the great work of the Red Cross as I see it daily here. It is the grandest organization in the world to day, and America can well be proud of what has been done for suffering hu r manity through its channels. "I cannot believe that any man or woman who has had any part in the work of the war at home or over here will ever bo content to go back to the self-centered, useless' pursuits of pleas ure when work of this kind is no longer necessary. TrnekB Carry Mercy Mesnagre. "We have all gained so much more than we have given and we have learned lessons of patience and self denial that will change our views of life. The things that were once so im portant become trivial in the face of all that we have suffered and survived in this war." Trucks in the highways transport review last night carried Red Cross posters, the parade serving as a pre lude to the street corner rallies staged in the downtown section in the inter ests of the follcall push. A number of the vehicles were pressed into serv ice to transport speakers from corner to corner. Prominent organizations of the city conducted the rallies, furnish ing their own programmes. O. C. Bortzmeyer, auditor for the city campaign, yesterday put on a second Red Cross button, because, he said, he had found one a little larger than his first. He confessed to holding three memberships. City Manager Reed con fidentially admitted that he had the . same number and had a feeling that he was going to take more. State Manager Coman holds the rec ord, it Is believed. "I just walked from For Christmas You can't beat fine Jewelry for practical and lasting gifts. Come and review the hundreds of sug gestions for holiday giving.

It won the highest score for tone quality at the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. It is the Sonora A critical comparison of all phonographs invari ably results in favor of the Sonora because it is fundamentally correct and is the result of eight years of experience in the art of talking machine construction. The Sonora is not a new make of talking machine, but is one of the old standard makes, which has been tried and not found lacking. It has not been foisted on the markets during the last few months to take advantage of the unusual con ditions caused by the Government curtailing the output of talking machines by the older companies in order that their factories might be devoted to supply aircraft for war purposes. QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY, is the policy upon which the Sonora is manufac tured, marketed and offered to you for your con sideration. The Sonora claims your recognition of its superiority on the three essentials of a musical instrument tone quality, cabinet con struction and finish and mechanical construction. TONE QUALITY Sonora tone quality is recognized and conceded to be, among those who are familiar with talking machines, the most perfect in all the world. Sonora tone is not slight and questionable but is immediately and convincingly evident. CABINETS Sonora cabinets are delightfully different their beauty is found in delicate curves and soft bulges. In the Sonora the highest art of the wood worker has been applied. Wood of the finest grain is molded into cabinets of exclusive design and surprising beauty. MOTOR Sonora motors are the supreme motors of the phonograph world. They are of Swiss design, manufactured in America, are absolutely noiseless and will play nearly twice as many records with one winding as any other make. In certain models of the Sonora the motor will run as long as 45 minutes with one winding. A written guarantee accompanies each Sonora instrument. UNIVERSALITY Sonora instruments are designed to . play, all makes of records perfectly without the use of additional devices of any kind. Sonora was the first instrument on the market to play all makes of records. It has passed the experimental stage, as the present system of playing all makes of records is the result of seven years experimenting and is now the most simple and perfect device of its kind. PRIDE OF POSSESSION accompanies the Sonora because of the knowledge that it truly represents an ideal the finest that money can buy. There are 14 different styles of the Sonora, at prices from $60 to $1000, and may be purchased on convenient terms if desired.
