In this county. At 10:45 this morns
ing County Chairman w. L. Thomp-
son received a telephone messages
from Carl Rupers of Helix that the
subscriptions made at the Helix bank
had passed the 100000 quota and
were still coming in.
The Pendleton banks, which closed
at noon today, were besieged an
morning by people eager to make
volunteer subscriptions. such a rush
to make early applications for bonds
was unknown in the first two cam
paigns.
Messages from over the county in
dicate that, while the actual solicit
tation viii not begin until Monday
owing to the delay in receiving sup
piles, all communities are well on
their way to 'oyer the top by the
voluntary route. l.. c. Scharpf of
Pilot Rock this morning early wired
In for $50 more subscription blanks.

similar request last evening. F. S,

In subscription blanks. None have
arrived at all from Portland and In
desperation. the local committee two
days ago. placed an order with a To-
cal printing establishment The
presses have been running day ana
night but yet the supply does not
equal the demand.
Very few are the complaints of the
ratings as given individuals. In fact
many subscriptions have been made
much In excess of the assessments by
the committees. "Well be over the
top In no time" said Chairman
Thompson this morning.

Foch's confidence in the ultimate sue

necessarily mean an early resumption
of allied offensive. It is increasingly
evident that Foch plans to let linden

any large scale.

Tho Belle Of Holly

There is more than one belle In
Holly, but the particular belle to
which attention is desired is a High
Grade Holstein Cow living on the
Amity Canal Model Dairy Farm.
She is the perfect dairy type
large. sound and Just in the prime of
life. She is the ideal family COW as
her milk has a high content of but
ter fat. She has a mild and gentle
disposition. SO any woman can handle
her.
Belle has an official COW testing
record OF sixty-five pounds OF milk
per day. This is official, remem-
ber. and would sell her at any sale
for not less than $4,000
Stop and think what sixty-five
pounds of milk per day means. 1t
is eight gallons or thirty-two quarts.
You can feed this COW on the price
of four quarts of her milk-keep
three quarts for milk and butter for
your own family. and then have
twenty-five quarts per day to sell
This surplus milk over and above
your needs and Bellies needs, will
bring in $3.50 per day clear money.

Edward F. Trefz in Franse In
vestigating Food Conditions
For u. s. Government

''If l only knew that half of the
stories of suffering caused by lack of
food in France, Belgium and England
were true | would willingly give up
the eating of both wheat and meat
until after the war" said a United
States Senator last fall.
There were other skeptics too, so to
get the facts about the food situa-
ton, n commission of six men all
known for their ability to get facts
without "color" were sent to France,
Belgium and England by the Ameri-
can government with instructions to
absorb first handed all the informa-
ton possible on the food situation.

the party weighty kick il the stats
Now the conservatives don't want
Hubbard although many of them think
he is going to get away with the nom-
ination for governor. They want
Gunter to be candidate for renom-
nation. Guntcr don't know about it.
This being a democratic governor and
having all the brickbats come from
your own party, has not proven en-
ticing to Guntor. He has taken time
to glance back and note the same fcl-
lows who chucked monkey-wrenche
in the machinery of government when
Ammons was in the chair, are now
engaged in sticking the same monkey
wrenches in his machinery. True, he
has found loyal support from repub-
licans but some how or other coming
from the south where they have Il
little pride, he thinks he ought to have
support from his own party. So Gun
ter is not particularly anxious to go
against the gaff again. Once is
enough, thank you.
The conservatives have their eyes
on Judge Class of Brighton. 1t might
also be stated the radicals also have
their eyes on Judge Glass. Not that
they have forsaken Leslie for they
have not-only in case certain things
concerning Leslie becoming too gener-
al known which will make it unpopu-

lar for Leslie to be in the game. A
sort of preparedness, you know. If
Class flirts too much with the con-
servatives the radicals will throw the
hooks into him; if he flirts too much
with the radicals the conservatives
will throw the hooks into him. There
is to be no middle ground. Such q
thing as candidate acceptable to
both is out of the question. But the
Judge is some wise politician himself
He is surveying the field He is not
certain yet whether to tie his kite to
the conservative, head or the radical
tail of the party.
In the meantime our friend, the
enemy, the democratic party in Colo
RADIO is wallering between the devil

conservatives and RADICALS will never
be healed. Indeed conservatives now
pass radicals up on the street without
even a friendly nod
All of which means Colorado ia
another year will be in the hands of
a safe administration all factions of
the republican party united to make
it a success-success for all the people

STATE CAPITAL NOTES

Denver, March 4.-Our old friend,
the enemy the democratic party in
Colorado, is truly between the devil
and the deep sea, and it is some long
tailed devil on the one side and some
deep, deep sea on the other.
That letter of Jesse Moler's where
in he washed his hands of the demo-
cratic party and severed his official
connection with that party, has arous-
ed much feeling among democrats, not
only in Denver but throughout the
state.
Jesse being honest to the core, ac-
sists it came hard to strip the finery
from his party and expose its cor
ruptness to the people. But he just
had to do it to keep his conscience
from lambasting him all the time.
Jesse ought to know what he is talk
ing about for was he not secretary of
the organization The conservative
democrats with just as much vehem-
ence say Jesse being so low down he
can not consort with anything politi-
cally unless it is crooked, did not re-
cognize the true worth of the organi-
zation-and further, say these same
conservatives because Jesse was bad
through and through Chairman Mil
Ter was about to can him but Jesse
beat the canning process by a couple
of jumps.
And what is more and to the point
these conservatives call attention to
the fact that Jesse's letter of rcsigna-
tion was dictated by Leslie Hubbard,
saying in proof of this assertion that
the stenographer who took the letter
being urged to hurry and get it to
Miller before Miller got one to Jesse,
like all good thoughtful stcnographers
placed her initials and the initials of
the one debating at the bottom and
that the initials are LEH.
Leslie is indignant. The very idea!
He, Leslie f. Hubbard, the man who is
so shy when it comes to publicity,
doing anything to injure his party and
show up its rottenness, the party from
which he expects to get the nomination
for Governorl Far be it from Leslie
to do anything of that kind. In es-
tablishing his alibi he points to the
fact that he fought the smelter in
vestigation because he found Senat-
or Fincher was going to be one of the
investigators. Was that not true par
ty loyalty? He fought the constabul-
AIRY bill because it was Senator Finch
er's bill and had the support of the
republicans. Was that not party 10y
atty? He worked with the insurgents
to ruin Speaker Best because Best
had been fair with the republican min
ority. Was not that party loyalty
Had he not written ream after ream
of interviews for the Denver Post
throwing mud on Mayor Speer, Gov
ernor Gunter, Senator Adams, West
and Fincher and all the other con-
structive democrats Was not all that
party loyalty?
And in this alibi Leslie is entirely
same kind of rightness
that mas marked his officia. acts
His loyalty to party thus being shown
why should ne join with Jesse Molcr,
