W. S. S. NO TWO-BIT DRIVE 45 PER CENT OF BOND QUOTA HUNS PREFER TRENCH WHEN YANKS EIGHT ladles who will act a precinct chairmen and team captuhm during the War Jnvlng: rUamp campaign which opens Monday met yeterduy afternoon at the Commercial Club t'o receive instructions and supplies. The ladles are taking hold of the work with an enthiiHlastlc spirit which Is a prophecy of Pendleton once again going ver the top. Mrs. W. t. McNary presided over j the meeting yesterday and talks were j made by City Chairman Lock wot id, County Chairman Bishop and Secre- j tary Chessman f the patriotic ser- i vice league. One of the bijrgost obstacles In the; path to the W. S. S. goal Is the gen eral conception that the W. S- S. cam puipn is a two-bit affair. A better Idea of the magnitude of the tank Is to be gained when It is appreciated that the quota of Umatilla county Is $450,000 which Is 45 per cent of the amount of the Third Liberty Loan and more than l(i times the amount of money contributed In the Keti CrosH drive. For Pendleton to raie her quota of $150,000 It will be neces sary for a good many of the persons of large Income to pledge themselves to buy to the limit or nearly the limit, which is $10d0 before the end of the year. While the quota of the county was fixed at $20 per capita, that does not j mean that every individual has done his duty when he has purchased $2t worth- As a matter of fact the num ber at potential subscribers In Pen dleton Is only about 2100. which moans t hut there must be an average of about $7o to the family. Many of the poorer families will doubtless be unable to take as much.. which mean that the belter-to-do Ml lhave to buy more. Twenty five huikIs of sugar Mr family for catuitiijr pu raises is now tlie order fos lead of one sack ati ArcviouHly allowed dtir inff this season. Ohiers to this effect were received by iocal gro cers this morning- from Food Administrator Avers. The. reason given h that tdiipiinir difficulties make the new rulo imperative. As the regulations now stand 25 pounds is the maximum am ount of sugar any family may purchase for cannimr purposes, five pounds is the maximum am ount any country family may se cure, for regular table use, and two iioiijuls is the maximum am ount for a town family.'
