ford to miss seeing the war trophy

6:50 o'clock Sunday morning as the
forerunner of the Victory loan which
will be started later in the month.
This was the declaration this morn
ing of Charles A. Malboeut of Port
land, advance agent for the trophy '
train. On the six cars which will
contain the display practically every
type of war material, from a Ger
man belt buckle to a baby tank, will
be found, the larger pieces of artil
lery being left behind because of
their excessive weight.
H. J. Overturf has been delegated
to have charge ot reception arrange
ments, and It is understood that men
in uniform, recently returned to
Bend from service in the army or
Marine corps, will be asked to go on
duty at the station to gnldo the
crowds and aid In explaining the
various trophies. Mr. Malboeut sug
gested that the school children of
Bend, in care of their teachers.
would find much of educational value
in the collection. . Preparations will
be made to permit a crowd of more
than 4000 people to pass through the
train, with sufficient time to take a
good look at everything.

rive, 1:35 p. m., leave 1:45 p. m.;
Madras, arrive 2 p. m., leave 2:30

Although the time for Bend is
deemed amply sufficient for any
crowd which may gather here, Mr.
Malboeut urged an early attendance
to eliminate the possibility of crowd
ing during the last hour. The dis
play will be opened to the public at
8 o'clock.
