Pennies, pennies and still more pen

to th five Bp lit lan relief bottles In

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.

I The system employed sacrificed
174' speed and publicity to equity and ef

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

-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

The league makes no claim that
absolute eqnl;j was obtained. Puch
thing Is not possible. Pndonbtedly
Mime people were over-rnted and soma

were comarallvely smaller, and few
