The Andrews district, with only seven pupils brings In the total of $1 2 1 5.00 In Liberty Bonds and War Stamps for the pre vious month. This is a fine showing. People have failed to grasp the great benefit this Raving procoss has upon the children and the public in general. It is of an educational character and one that should be cultivated. A man who has boon" con nected with the campaign In this state during the past several months has this to say in a recent letter to Mrs. Clark: "My conception of W. 8. 8. ha Always been that it is so patriotic thst only the firing lino exceeds it; so religious In its creating of habits, in character building, that It rings true to the spiritual laws of Almighty Ood; and so sound and simple In its economic relationship that even a child can understand It. It Ib des tined to be a factor in the llvo3 of the coming generations and the de stinies of our people. Keep your good work going. Never let up, and as I leave I shall think of good old Harney county as over hitting the bull's eye in W. 8. 8.

It will be one of the greatest factors ln bringing about normal conditions and relieving suf fering following the devastated coun tries. Through this organization the suffering people of that war-stricken territory will be aided for a long time. We must not only keep up this but other similar organizations that are doing such humane duty ln that region. On next Wednesday night, Oct. 23, the annual meeting and election of the Red Cross Chapter will take place. In dTder that there be nothing to conflict the management of the Liberty has given up that night to this purpose and will give the usual picture program scheduled for that night either on Tuesday or Thursday night, owing to circumstances that muy prevail at that time. The house has been tendered to the organiza tion for that evening and Its equip ment and employes are at the service of the Ked Cross to be used In what ever capacity desired. A recent meeting of the Executive Committee decided to make this an occasion of such Interest as to bring together the entire community in or der that all might take part In the baslness of the meeting and hear the report of the several officers and committees.

IlKD CKOHH HLKCTION WKONKHDAY NO. 51 LIBERTY LOAN OVER SVBSCRIBED IN COUNTY Secretary Farre Checks up and Finds Harney County to Good With a Few Thousand Extra. Sum Likely Increased Today. Secretary Wm. Karre of tho County Llber'y Loan Executive Board reported to this jfflce yester day evening that Harney cou.ity had over (subscribed its quota for the Fourth Liberty Lop.n Ilonds. Tho total at that time wai $184,650. While our quota was $172,000. Crane State Bank, 227 subscribers, $30,850. Harney National Bank, 470 sub scribers, $84,6000. First National Bank, 470 Mil, bscrlbers, $68,600. In the hands of the secretary, 11 subscribers, $700. This Is a very gratifying showing as it was considered a hard task for us to raise the amount assigned us. With crop failures and dry weather, necessitating the removal of live stock to other sections for forage It was quite an undertaking to secure the amount. However, it is certainly a credit to the loyalty and patriotism of the citizens of this county that such a showing is made. --0- CIIMTIT COURT AIMOm.VH.
