PEOPLE OF ALL WALKS AID OVER-SUBSCRIPTION Up to Thursday night canvassers in General Guy Talbot'a army of campaign workers in Portland had reported bond subscriptions totaling 10.619.350. Of cine amount Lieutenant General James A. Cranston's division raised $5,864,150 and Lieutenant General Julius L. Meier's division I4.7S5.200. ';- These amounts do not include ,' sub scriptions taken at banks and at Lib erty temple. . .Canvassers are still hard at work piling up Portland's over-subscription. With few exceptions they are meeting with an enthusiastic willing ness to support the government. Thursday afternoon a committee-from headquarters called on a number of alleged ."slackers." In every instance subscriptions were received. From every walk of life persons are flocking to Liberty temple, each imbued with ithe same instinct. - According to one of the men taking In subscriptions. a minister will fill put an application and immediately after someone from the "unaerwono." The temple is a -con' vergence of many path.:. asking for proper? subscription blanks and stating that Cochran wants to be put on the map "as an honor town. W. R. Harrison was sent' to Cochran with a ' supply- of necessary blanks - and an honor flag-'" L. J. Simpson reports that he visitea Brogan, Malheur county. Wednesday night -to hold a political meeting. A crowd gathered at a hotel In the town but declined to listen to any political discussion. .They wanted to know about the third Liberty loan. Following; the meeting 20,ooo was raised in is min utes. BroganCs quota had been placed at 112.000. . .. . , . ' lit Aagel Exceeds Its Qsota The .chairman of the ML Angel cam paign committee writes that a total of $31,560 has been raised by citizens, of that town, oversubscribing a quota of $28,700. The population of Mt. Angel is given as 100. About 750 of the residents of the town are of German or Austrian descent, according to the chairman's letter. "Our motto la 'A bond In every home. " the letter reads. "So far we have placed 308 subscriptions without assisting or threatening the subscribers." A campaign committee working among Union Pacific employes has secured sub scriptions amounting to $118,500 from 1599 subscribers and is still going strong. Officials of the company state that the total will probably exceed that of the second .loan when employes of the sys tem took $243,860 worth of bonds. More than one third, of the amount subscribed will be credited, to Oregon. sis"-... Adrian .

It's very strange; they always have done before." Yes, ma'am, but you see its like this: They're troinc: out of business; hundreds tried to get in here last week and couldn't get near the place and they don t have to send goods out now to sell 'em they sell last enougn rigni nerci Oh, I see what time does tne saie ue- "They 11 open the. doors at iu, ma am. "Thank you. I'll be right down." A COURT REPORTER' couldn't have Jr recorded the conversation more ac curately. The janitor might have added, too. that we don't have to beg people to come, nor do we have to tease tnem to ; buy things when they do come I Xot that w'r discourteous, nor unminaiui oi whats due a customer. The same help fulness in selecting and the-same good care in fittine now, as always. But we ve no time to lose. Forty thousand dollars worth of fine apnarel can t be sold m a idayl Simply because the store isn't big enough to hold more tnairiuty or seveniy five people at one time. THE GARMENTS offered are finer than ordinary. Mr. Settle is a highly trained specialist in women's attire. He was resident buyer in New York City lor four of the leading concerns in America. And he knows believe me, he knows! Everythinsr here in this artistic little store has been selected with fine discrcton and k rare good taste. Indeed, it Ins been a labor of love. Also, alas, it has been a asc of Love's Labor Lost ! ! , . ; This is not intended to be funny. Its anything but funny! t I T IS A PITY, a gTeat pity, that so fine a store should not be able to win enough business to make it profitable. But. W. S. Settle is a good sport. He takes his loss philosophically no whim pering, no complaining. The same good nature, the same courtesy, as smilingly polite as ever. i All he asks us to do is to turn the mer chandise into-money as quickly as possible. Then he will be free to devote his time and talents to other interests that promise bet ter returns. Yesterday we made slill further reduc tions. Not on everything, but on some things. In fact, traveling salesmen tell us that the sale prices are in many instances lower than manufacturers are quoting in New York City today. - A GOWN of crepe de chine and' satin in rich cream is lavishly embroidered in seal brown.
