PENNIES AND MORE PENNIES NET $50 FOR RELIEF OF BELGIANS One Hundred Milk Bottles to Collect Funds in Uma tilla County. v . Pennies, pennies and still more pen nies, with here and. there a ten or five cent piece, have been contrlhutd to th five Bp lit lan relief bottles In PnJlein until the tetat- fur lew than a month has reached 50, which was collected Saturday. The bottle In the Charles Co. leads with a total of $33.28. The other bus Jnesn houses where donations were given to the fund are, the- Peoples Warehouse. endleton Drug Company, Tallman Drug Company, and Hotel Pendleton. The collection Is under the auspices of (he Patriotic Service League, with Mrs. Roy T- HlBhop at the head of the committee. She Intends to place 100 bottles In Umatilla county, 36 of which will be placed In Pendleton. The bottles are placed In wcodeg stand, made by the boys of the Pen- dlfton high school manual training class.

The state committee at the i outset was Informed that this oount , j weuld make no effort to be the most lor the first over the top. We sound- ! ej all depths and snonls of such non ets eurly In the war and found them not worth the price. In the f-econd j l.ll'erty Loan this county went three quurters of a million dollnts bevond i lis quota and there was no sen.olnnce I of equity In the distribution of tbs I j subscriptions. t-hortly before the j Third Loan the Patriotic Servile -1 League was organised and in the ' j ciMiipaigu there was at least a beglu- nlng made upon a systematic and . thorough campaign. The rystem has been developed since then nnd bora fruit In the campaign Just Vulud. The league makes no claim that absolute eqnl;j was obtained. Puch thing Is not possible.
