SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AT
ELECTRIC THEATRES

When the soliciting teams began to
scour the valley last week things be-
gan to hum locally in the great Liberty
Loan drive. The pep" innoculation
brought here by G. A. Miller, manager
of the Oregon drive, took" and inter
est in all quarters became decidedly
more marked.
Desire to possess one of the hand
somely engraved bonds was stimu-
lated when Frank A. Cram placed a
500 security of the first issue in his
show window. The bond was the first
seem here by many people, and scores
crowded to the window of Mr.. Cram to
inspect the valuable piece of golden
bordered paper, worth $l00 and bear
ing 81 per cent interest. Simultane-
ously the First National Bank placed
handsome display of the bonds in
their window. While the government
has deferred delivery on the first is
sue, the First National had secured a
number of the securities through GUS
toners, and one of them was loaned to
the Butler Bank for exhibition pur-
poses.
The Liberty Loan committee held
one OF the most spirited meetings of
the campaign Thursday morning when
it was announced that the $50, COO
mark had been reached in Hood River
subscriptions. At this Thursday morn
ing meeting it was decided TO place
huge banner across Oak street carry
ing the query, to be seen by every man
who came to town Saturday: "Have
YOU bought YOUR Liberty Bond?"
However, after the decision on the
banner the committee was stuck when
no sign painter was available.
Members of the committee then
called on Irwin d. Parkins, who volun-
teered. his services. Cloth and paints
were carried to the basement of the
old Hood River State Bank building,
where about 2.30 o'clock Mr.. Parkins
set to work. But the painting of SO
foot sign, both sides, is no small task,
and darkness came with the sign in
complete. The meter had been taken
out of the basement of the building.
However, after E. 0. Blanchar had
conferred with Manager Myers, of the
Pacific Power & Light Co., privilege
was given E. S. Colby to make con-
nections, and with plenty of light
available, the work was hastened,
Hatch Bros. having been secured to
lend their assistance. Earl Franz,
too, assisted, and at z 80 the big sign
was painted. With crew of volun-
teers in line It was swung in the west
breeze over Oak street early Saturday
morning, and many orchardists, seeing
the call to their patriotism, emblaZ-
oned in red and blue on a white back
ground, were persuaded to make their
subscriptions.
