THE SUNDAY SHOOT.

After breaking the record at the
trap shoot Sunday, March 31st. the To-
cal club fell down hard Sunday, and
suffered defeat shooting against COL
fax-Palouse, that club scoring III to
Oroville's 113. The why and wherefore
OF the downfall can hardly be explain
ed. The day was unfavorable for good
shooting, as there was a heavy haze
for a background and the wind was
blowing in the face of the shooters,
which may account for the small score.
In the big shoot, that has created a
sensation among the members of the
contending clubs, Hedger, Lewis
Gjerde, Masters, Hare, Cox Chas.
Powell and Frank Taylor broke 25
straight targets, while Sunday the
same men slipped back with the fol-
lowing records: Hendger "a, Lewis
II. Gjerde 13, Masters 23, Hare 21, Cox
Il, Chas' Powell % and Taylor 1S. The
boys were disappointed at the showing
but hope to come up to the high record
next Sunday on the occasion of the
last shoot of the season. The following
IS the full score of the Sunday shoot:
Hedger "a, Masters %, w. B. Sexson
20, Powell %, Cox 21, Beverly Powell
II, Hare 21, Stannard 20, Finsen 10,
Vern Sexson 10 Frank Taylor IS, DR..

Guy V. Browne, of Wenatchee, 20.
Morris Walmer II. On behalf of Mr.,
G]erde, who has been shooting a
strong string at every meet it is only
fair to state that he was suffering
from severe sore shoulder and was
hardly able to shoot at all.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE.

The drive for the third Liberty
Loan bond issue was scheduled to
start Saturday, April 6, the anniver-
sary of the declaration of war against
Germany, and will continue through
the month. 1t is expected that several
billion dollars will be subscribed, and
they will, for America is in this war to
win. The first week has been devoted
to voluntary subscriptions. the sub
scribers coming in on the roll of hon
or, and many in this community have
signed up for bonds so far this week.
There remains only today and tOmor-
row to get on the roll, and it should
be the aim of every man in Oroville to
be among the elect. This voluntary
subscription will eliminate the names
of many, thus simplifying to con-
siderable extent the work Of the COM
mittee that will have in hand the job
of soliciting subscriptions. as those
who have already purchased will not
be called upon. After this week the
committee drive will commence in
earnest No one will be overlooked.
The man who can afford to take one
or more bonds and refuses to sub
scribe will be reported to the head
council of defense, and means will be
found to induce the derelict individual
to come across.
The plain fact of the matter is If
our boys can be constcripted to give
their lives in the service of their coun-
try certainly the dollars of those
who refuse to do their part can be
conscripted to maintain those boys at
the front. No one can hold that dollars
are more valuable than lives, and the
man who is not called upon to risk
his life should have no hesitancy to
contribute to the cause to the utmost of
his financial ability. Here is another
point of view for those who may hesi-
tate to do their part in the way of
bond buying. The government is not
asking you to give up something for
nothing. You merely loan your money
to the government, draw down sub
stantial interest semi-annually, and
have the principal returned to you in
due time. If the government touches
you through conscriptive taxation,
which it is going to do if you fail in
your duty, you will be forced to pay
the same and have nothing coming
back in return. See where you are
winner by getting in on the bond issue?
The quota of this loan that Okla
hogan county is expected to contribute
is the comfortable sum of $1S3,200 1t
looks big in figures, yet If every man
does his bit according to his means
the county should double the sum.
The amount is divided up among the
several arranged districts as follows

At the close of the meeting Captain
Jackson talked informally to men

ties committed by the German soldiers
and officers that had come under his
personal observation, things that could
not be mentioned before mixed audi

feelings of the readers by even an inti-
nation of the agony that the Germans
seem to take delight in inflicting upon
the unfortunates falling into their
hands. The record is something awful
and Is one that will make the German
name a stencil in the nostrils of civil
lized beings for all ages to come.

When you buy Liberty Bond you
are not giving away your money. You
are merely lending it to the United
States government. AS long as it uses
your money the government will pay
you interest. The loan itself will be
returned in the specified number Of
years. If you want it back sooner you
can get it by selling your bonds. Safe
places for savings are being sought in
this hour of financial uncertainty. No
vault in the world is as safe as Uncle
Sans promise to pay his debt to you.
