PAGE THREE it I Well, that Yellow Demon crowd lias come nnd nunc uml Medfonl is, if possible inurt' patriotic and more American because of their visit. The visitors injected some pinker into the local liberty bond campaign nnd at the same time highly entert iiiic.1 nnd instructed us as to our sacred duty in this time of crisis. That Yellow Demon crowd simoly overflows with pep nnd from the mo ment that Mark Woodruff, the well known veteran newspaper man of Oregon, was introduced a- chairman, they ran off their patriotic iirovrmn, uio Keynote 01 wniciii was 1(1(1 ncr cent Americanism, with a delightful simp. It was probably the best of the several patriotic meetings held in this city, nnd left the nudience hun gering; for more of the simu- kii.d. The meeting at the Page began ,:i,nl ly nfter 0 o'clock and was over by 30:30 o'clock. The first speaker, Judge John II. Stevenson of Portland, lived up to Ms advance notices of being u:i able orator, although he was hoarse from Ins speaking at least twice a dnv a!! week. He whs wi.i;!v introdurej bv Mark Woodruff, who, because of the judges height and spurenoss likened liim to a guitar string. Stevenson Wins Applause And my Goodness.' how that htim.ui guitar string did twang wittr imtn.'iii sentiment, appeal for all to buy liber ty bonds, warnings against pro (jer mnnism, pacifism and insidunus .Cerninn peace propagni'da. The judge's speech so held his iiudii'n'le with interest that it seemed short, but ho covered all the ground t lug- nif; the people to be 101 per cent Americans. "I appeal to yon American citizen of Jackson county before or ilhcr sun sets to pledge ev o-y cent you can spare Iroin your actual needs lor liberty bonds" he said in closing. Let us do this in the good old Ore gon wav mat win pin tne state over the top by the end of the week. Don't let it be said that Oregon and espe cially Jackson county is less pat; riotic than it was a vear or six months ago. . . . "This. is a life and death striigelr for the "ernetuation of democratic institutions and principles nfains! autocratic institutions nnd ideas All the Christian nations with Chris tian ideals are aligned against pa gnnism, barbarism, tyranny and an toerncy in this great world struggle.' Sergeant White Makes Hit No less interesting was the address of Sergeatn II. L. White of the .Villi Canadian regiment, for it was reall an able address. This young man, now on'-- 27. spent two of the lies) years ot Ins life at the western front was wounded at Yimy Hidee. In 1 1 was gassed and uncut nine months i hospitals recovering from its effect nnd then was invalided, home hon.'r nbly discharged. lint hud he com plcted his hit f Far from it. An uiougii nniit tor lurthcr active sir vice lie is still at his bit, doing'tha winch he still can do, sneaking all over the country in furtherance the liberty loan and other drives. His zeal is added to bv the fnet that two of his brother- w v killed in Y ranee and n third is .til fighting there. There were onlv fon boys in the family. The sergeant's speech was mailv devoted to n ringing appeal for the purchase of liberty bonds and the necessity for so doing, and prciiiliiii" 100 per cent Americanism. Al though he is a Canadian, he said that while he was in this country he tiro posed to regard himself as an Amer ican and conduct himself as one of the very best. Jtcnoiinces I. V. W.lsni Sergeant While is an educated man and proved to be iiite un orator. His denunciation of I. W. W.ism, pro-Germanism, and yellow dog Amerienns was scathing and sting ing. He classed as yellow dogs all those citizens who are evading their duty in not purchasing liberty bonds nnd giving to other patriotic causes, when financially able to do so. lie also related briefly some of his ex periences at the front and described some of the German atrocities he had run across during his 1,-ng service. A mirth provoking feature of the meeting was the humorous "ro.i-t-ing" of each other by Chairman Woodruff and Judge Stevenson. CHILEAfUREATYWITH IE SANTIAGO, Chile, Kept, 2i.

With a quo ta, of .flSl.iiOo for Ashland, which territory includes Itelleview, Neil 'reek and a few other suburban lo alties, the registered Liberty bond ubscriptions up to Friday noon were approximately $ 100.000. f At noon Wednesday 1151 registrants had ubscrihed in spot fash or pledge -T.ViOO, and by Thursday nnon prac tically half of the quota had been ob tained, liy wav of comparison with the third Liberty loan, when 048 in jur subscribed $1m,I(H for that tmrtieulur series, it should be borne in mind that the record here pracli- ally doubled the quota on that oc- asion, hut this was accomplished under persistent drive methods, iu- tead of the voluntary subscription plan as adapted in collection with, the campaign in behalf of the fourth bond issue. The voluntary plan, how ever, promises to end in us lively work, though perhaps nlonjr diner- nt linen, as that accompanying the persistent house-to-house can vass ast spring.

Adjuncts to OtniiiaiKii Adjuncts to the campaign have been music, speeches, movie attrac tions? nnd notably the viit of the Yellow Demon car, which arrived on Thursday afternoon at the trvstinir ilace near Kingsbury Springs, a little ahead of schedule time, the hour having been set for 4 o'clock, The Demon was escorted into town by scores of other ears which had met at the appointed rendezvous, and bv the time the west terminal of the Uoulevard was reached, the pro ession had asMiiued one of holiday proportions, beaded by the band with U. K. Madsden, a visiting theatrical man, posing as I nele Nun in the role of drum major.
