Monday morning will see the
opening of the United War Work
campaign in Umatilla conuty as
well as,in all other parts of the na
tion, for raising the biggest gift
fund in the history of the world.
The goal set for the nation is $170,
500,000, and Umatilla county is
asked to contribute $45,000. The
quota set for Weston is $2150.
The coming of peace does not les
sen the need for this fund. Even
though peace is accomplished today
it will take fifteen months to get
our army out of France, and dur
ing that time the work of the va
rious war relief agencies would
be most necessary.
, Hugh A. Taylor of Battery E,
146th regiment of field artillery,
writes the Leader that he appre
ciates getting this paper more than
words can tell. He is acting cor
poral on an ammunition train of
white trucks, and is on the road
most of the time, especially at
night. He says: "We go up to
the front- every night and some
times we get rather a warm wel
come from the Huns for they do
like to shell the roads and get all
the trains they can. I have been
luckynot yet getting a scratch
but they' did get one of my
trucks the other night and both
driver and helper," - ,

WESTON GLADLY CELEBRATES
THE NEWS OF PEACE
Relying upon the report sent out
by the United Press and phoned
from the East Oregonian office that
the great war was over at 2 p. m.
Thursday, Weston celebrated in
glorious and uproarious fashion.
In the afternoon church bells and
fire bell were rung; a monster bon
fire was lit on Main street square;
anvils were fired with deafening
report, and the entire populace
assembled on the street, yelling
itself hoarse and waving the Stars
and Stripes. -
Another public jubilee was held
on ' Main street in the evening,
despite the fact that the report of
German submission to the armis
tice terms had meanwhile been de
nied by the Associated Press. An
other huge bonfire, constantly fed
with oil, blazed merrily aloft, and
an effigy of Kaiser Bill was hanged
and burned. This had been manu
factured for the occasion by Ralph
Saling, and was a very clever imi
tation of the despised war lord.
Athena also celebrated, introduc
ing ttunts of its own. For one
thing, no man could appear on the
streets of Athena without losing
his hat. Several Weston citizens
who tried to get through our neigh
boring town in automobiles had
the hats torn from their heads by
cheering patriots. It is even re
ported that one man's pantaloons
were sacrificed to make a sub
urban holiday. .
