million dollars of German

ton has been the heaviest pur-
chaser of liberty bonds in the
state. This has been due in
part to the prosperity prevail
ing in this section but much of
the credit is due to local zeal
and team work. The famous
Pendleton spirit is being used
in the cause of patriotism with
a million dollar sound that can
scarcely be misunderstood.
