HEPPNER, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1917; NUMBER 26 ON 2ND LIBERTY LOAN The second Liberty Loan cam paign came to a close at midnight Saturday with a total of $162,000 subscribed in the county. The county's quota, as fixed by the state committee was $140,000. Morrow always makes good, ultimately. She may be a little lazy about going against a cold collar in the morning but towards the finish she lugs like a wheel horse and sprints like a "goin' hound." Further activities of the solicit ing committees in the country districts were made impossible Saturday by the severe storm, the billows of dust rolling so high and fierce that no "boat," neith er Ford nor super-six could safe ly ride the waves. The campaign was not allowed to lag in town, however, and more than $60,000 was added to your Uncle Sam uel's war chest during the day. Bishop Paddock came all the way from Portland to help Hepp ner in her final fling He made a whirlwind speech at the city hall at 8:00 o'clock and at 9:30 went over to the opera house where a minstrel show was in progress and spoke between acts while the solicitors went alter the mazuma. The combination worked like a charm. The bishop is a forceful speaker, chock full of patriotic fervor, which he well knows how to transmit to his audience. The campaign closed with a rush that showed exactly what buneh grassers can do and will do and do do when tney once "tie in," on any proposition. The quotas fixed in these drives are based on the bank deposits in each county and in this Mor row county experiences quite a handicap in showing a high per centage of her quota for the rea son that Heppner banks carry heavy deposits for customers in Grant. Wheeler, Gilliam and U matilla counties while our solicit ing eommitties remained within the boundaries of Morrow while seeking subscriptions to the loan. W. P. Mahoney. S. W. Spen cer and C. E. Woodson, commit tee in charge of the drive, seek no credit for the splendid success of the campaigh but prefer to give that to the field workers who scoured the county for sub scriptions. Among these work ers were many ladies who ren dered valiant service. To all these the committee wishes to express its thanks and apprecia tion. Practical Patriotism Those who have signed pledges to conserve food are demonstrat ing practical patriotism. Saving food and the substitution of per ishable foods for staples means much. School children are se- curing pledges and are scoring iw per ci. in many uisiricis. 11 you haven't received a card noti - fy Com. by phone. Unused cards should be returned toS. E. Not son.

While at Portland Mr. Roberts went over to Van couverto visit his nephew, Ray Rogers, well known and popular Heppner boy who is now a mem ber of the 14th Infantry U. S. A. He found Ray hearty and happy and taking to army life and in tensive training like a veteran, The boys are getting plenty of training and are fast becoming hard as nails and ready for any kind of service that may be re quired of them. The company to which Ray is attached, Mr. Moberts says, is as fiine a body of young men as could be found anywhere all being physi cally fit, intelligent, high class, just such fellows as would make even a bevy of Heppner girls look twice and smile sweetly- Church Notices Catholic Church Services.

They brought back two tine, fat bucks and are pretty well pleased with their trip. Mr. Ilerren. who is an old time hunter and moun taineer, says does and fawn are very plentiful this fall but he nas never known buck deer to be so scarce, lie thinks that unless the game laws ars changed to allow the killing of' does and a measure of protection given the males that deer hunting will in a few years be a thing of the past in Oregon. Many fallow does, without fawns are to be seen this fall, Mr. Ilerren says. John Lawrence registered at the Palace Sunday from Modu. ment.

John Wightman, of the Alfal faLawn Dairy, was attacked by a Jersey bull late yesterday and seriously injured, His thigh was gored and torn, his face and head cut and bruised and his spine injured- His life was no doubt sav ed by his brother who came to his rescue, caught the infuriated animal by the horns, and by kick ing the brute on the nose pluckily j forced him to break away from the unequal combat. Dr Win nard attended the injured man and reports that while the injui ries are serious he expects the patient to recover.

ASKS AID FOR BOYS INTRENCHES One of the most meritorious causes for which aid for Ameri can soldier boys is 'being solicit ed is that of of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. of the United States, ' The work for which funds are' being solicited is world-wide in scope and will be carried to every spot on earth where American boys are wearing the khaki-col- ored uniform of the United States of America. The great work before this or ganization includes looking after the physical, moral, social, edu cational and religious welfare of the one million American, lads who are being called away from home ties and home influences and massed in training camps at home and in the trenches and on snipuoaru abroad. Keeping the Home Ties from Breaking," i;i slogan of these tireless workers. A fund of $35,000,000.00 is re quired for the successful prose cution of this great work and an eight-day campaign, November 11 to 18 inclusive, has been plan ned during which . this stupen dous sum is to be raised by pop ular subscription. Morro w county's quota of .this sum is $1000.00. At a meeting held at the pal ace hotel Sunday afternoon a committee was selected to have charge of this drive and, judging from the manner in which the county has met all former .de mands of like nature the sum will no doubt be raised. W. A. Hillon, camp secretary for the army V. M. C.

Mayor Notson presided during the program which included speaking and musieal numbers. Prof. H 11. Hoffman delivered a splendid address thrilling his audience with patriotic utter ances while reeallin." histnnr. battlefields on which American soldiers distinguished them selves in the world old tight for freedom and democracy. Rev. Tu rner MacDonald made a, brilliant address in which he pointed out that it is to the credit of our young men that they were, it first, not anxious to enter the war but that now that, we are en gaged in the conflict and the real need of winning so apparent, they are going cheerfully and willingly to do their part in the greatest struggle recorded in history. C. E. Woodson spoke ou the National War Work Council of the Y. M C. A. in . which ho ex. plained to the departing soldiers the work this organization is do ing for them in training camps and on the battlctiolds, also urg ing on those of us who remain at home the immediate need of get ling behind this work with our money. Mr. Woodson's address was, perhaps, the most practical of the evening. Henry Peterson, class of '17, Heppner high school, one of the soldier boys, respond ed to the speakers on behalf of his com nides. Splendid musical numbers were rendered by Miss Peggy O' Ron ike. Mr. Roy Cochran and and Mr. Guylo Shurte. all of whom received hearty encores, and tho exercises closed with the "Star Spangled Manner," directed by M rn. Noyes.
