OREGON ZERO HOUR
8 CLOCK SEPT. 2S

The all-important Zero hour of
the battles in France Is to have it's
counterpart in the campaign of the
Fourth Liberty Loan in Oregon
Battles in France are timed from
an hour, or minutes OF an hour.
This time is known as the zero
hour" and is secret closely guarded
by the division heads. All movements
of troops and all action is based on
time calculations made from the
zero hour" A certain infantry
receives instructions to take certain
objective at so many minutes past
the zero hour. In that way a whole
campaign can be worked out in
detail, with all commanders fully
aware Of their relation to other
movements, waiting only the secret
which is the key to the whole move
ment.
Oregon's Zero hour" for the next
Liberty Loan is nine o'clock, Septem-
ber %. This is the watchword of the
whole drive and through voluntary
subscriptions this state is expected
to have attained all objectiyes and
again be "over the top" first by nine
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1918-08-29

o'clock of the day when other states
will just be getting into action.
County managers and committee
men in their recent meeting in Port
land decided that it could be done;
that all Oregon needed was to be
told how much Uncle Sam needed,
and how badly he needed it, and its
patriotic citizens would do their part
SO willingly that the effort Of
soliciting committees would not be
needed.
Symbolizing this whole scheme,
state headquarters has sent to the
Gazetto-Times a graphic interperta-
tion of the hour of the campaign
1t is a small clock with the zero
hour" nine o'clock pointed out by the
| hands.
! At the top, soldier in an ex-
, preston of grim determination
brings home the spirit of accomplish
ment while at the bottom is Uncle
Sam, confidently looking at the time
indicated. 1t is up to Oregon to see
that he is not disappointed.
Buttons for subscribers to the next
loan have also arrived in Oregon
and are now being distributed to the
county organizations. The button is
i slightly smaller than the last 1t Is
patterned after the hosor flag of the
last loan, being a rectangle of white
bordered with red and crossed by the
four blue stripes, symbolizing the
Fourth Liberty Loan.
Posters and other advertising
matter are arriving in great guam
titles and problems of previous
drives with regard to slow deliveries
of supplies have been overcome with
early movement from Washington in
the way of large posters and litho-
graphs and local production of the
smaller matters.
Local committees will get what
they want when they need it so they
will be able to offer their subscrib
ers every inducement to make his
voluntary declaration in plenty OF
time to make good the plan of the
state committees.
