Hood River County Quota Of Liberty Loan
is SIZE, ,O00-Every Citizen Called
on TO Do His Duty

Hood River county's quota for the
second Liberty Loan is SIPS, 900. Up
to Monday the total returns to Port
land headquarters showed that but
$34, 500 had been subscribed--only "a
per cent. Statistics in the central
Liberty Loan headquarters showed
that more than so towns and cities of
the state were ahead of the Hood
River valley in subscribing their quota.
Oregon's total quota is SIS, 200, 000
The Monday morning returns showed a
total subscription of only SO, 500, 600.
These figures. however. instead of
depressing the men in charge of the
great loan drive, spurred them on the
to further interest, and a stupendous
whirlwind drive to bring the Oregon
record in the second Liberty Loan to a
mark of honor by Saturday night was
set under way.
With new determination the men
in charge of the drive were heard to
say, "Oregon must not fail.
And here at Hood River one heard
the same expression, 'tHood River
must not fail." First in the number
of volunteers first in Red Cross work,
first in all patriotic activities, Hood
River county must still be among the
first on the Liberty Loan of October,
1917.

will be reached tonight when Repre-
sentative Sinnott will come here from
The Dalles and address a patriotic
mass meeting. Mr.. Sinnott's address,
to be delivered at prominent street
intersection where orchardists may lis
ten from their parked automobiles will
be preceded by service parade in
which all men and women of the val
ley who have relatives in the service
will be eligible to participation. Mem
bers of the G. A. r. and Spanish
American war veterans will also par
ticipate.
With apple picking nearing close it
is expected that one of the largest
audiences ever assembled in the county
will greet the popular congressman,
who has just returned from Washing
ton. Mr.. Sinnott will be entertained
tonight at the Mount Hood hotel by
banquet rendered by Hood River ap-
pie growers as an expression of their
appreciation of his recent efforts in
their behalf to secure modification
of the British embargo on apples.
Mr.. Sinnott will be introduced by
Judge Blowers. The meeting will be
opened by an invocation by Rev. M. l..
Hutton. This will be followed by the
singing of America by the entire as
semblage. Several speakers, who as
yet have not been announced, will fol-
low Mr.. Sinnott. Mrs. c. H. Sletton
will sing the Star Spangled Banner.
Under the leadership of Scoutamster
Cruikshank the Boy Scouts, who have
done such noble work in the campaign,
will participate in the parade which
will form at the Stewart Hardware
corner. Because of the parade no
automobiles will be allowed to park on
Oak street until after the marchers
have passed.
Mr.. Sinnott will arrive here on No.
II. If this happens to be late Truman
Butler, chairman of the local commit
tee, will go for him by automobile.
The Hood River band has been Sc
cured for the occasion by c. d. Nick

the cooperation of Mrs. l.. M. Bentley,
of the Woman's Relief Corps, to pre-
pare decorations for the big rally.
The Mount Hood r. r. Co. will op-
crate special rail autos from Dee and
Parkdale.
The meeting bids fair to be the most
impressive patriotic rally ever held in
Hood River. In case of bad weather
the addresses scheduled for the open
air pavilion at the corner of Oak and
Fourth will be held at Heilbronner
hall.

TONE TEST RECITAL
GIVES EXACT UNISON
Edison Theory Proven in Concert
Given by Hecht & Co.

A Washington audience was given
its first opportunity to hear one Of
the Edison tone test recitals when
they gathered in the music room Of
the Hecht & Co. department store. on
Seventh street northwest, yesterday
afternoon.
The object of the test recitals is to
prove Thomas Edison's theory that
his new diamond disc graphophone
truly "recreates sound" By this is
meant that It is possible for the artist
who originally produced the record,
or any other. to be able TO again play
with the record in exact unison.
To prove this contention, Mr.. Ed
son is sending his artists TO the vari-
Gus large cities 10 accompany their
own recordial productions.
A. Cello and DR.. p. Peters, the local
artists who accompanied the records
played at the demonstration recital
yesterday afternoon, were in such high
accord as TO constantly baffle the au-
dience, giving them the Impression
sometimes that there was only the
record playing. and at others that
the music from their instruments was
alone.
So successful was the recital yes
terday that H. II. Levi, manager Of
the Hecht department store, has
promised another Edison tone test re-
cital In the near future.
