MOSCOW WOMAN TELLS HOW
PORTLAND WENT OVER THE TOP

Mrs. Knepper has received the fol-
lowing very interesting letter from
her daughter, Mrs. Grice, who took
an active part in putting Portland
'over the top" for $19,0O0,000 in the
fourth Liberty loan. The letter will
be of interest to Moscow people in
pointing out the way to secure SINH
lar results here. 1t follows
Friday, Oct. d, 1918.
Dear Mother and Dad am so
happy today over the results of our
Liberty loan work that l must take
time now to tell you about it. Last
night Portland went over the top"
and while we are disappointed that
it was not done in much less time and
that we were not the first state in
the Union to announce being 'over,"
even so it was a gigantic task to
raise so large quota and Portland
can be proud to have attained it. 1t
was nearly 10 millions for our city
alone and it stands ver-subscribed
today. No one can imagine the work
connected with raising such a sum
unless quite intimately connected with
the loan work-almost entirely vol
unteer work at that The patriotism
of the business men and women who
lay aside their work for weeks at a
time to do this, seems to me is of /
very high type. The biggest business
men of the city have left their Of

Liberty practically pledging
themselves to stay on the job until I

Some of the information in the Spokes-

Frequently the advice is given to those

scope of Red Cross activities to apply
to the civilian relief section of the
Spokane Red Cross This is correct adj
vice if the applicant is within the juris-
diction of that chapter; but if not, the
request is sent to the divisional head

to the chapter in whose jurisdiction the
applicant is living, thus causing unneces-
sary delay.

er received for his products was fixed
by his comp etitors in the business
world, and he was allowed only so
much as they. in their generosity or
wisdom, or for expediency's sake, saw
fit to allow him. A universal or
ganization of farmers or close union
of existing organizations is, in my
opinion, the most essential agency
and weapon with which the farmer
should be armed in the industrial
struggle of the future.
A great building worthy of this
noblest of all occupations will be a
visible sign and token to all the world
of the intelligent organization and di-
rection of the farmers forces and, so,
powerfully encourage and facilitate
that movement.
Such a building, housing perma-
nently, here, representatives of the
agricultural interests and preserving
and aiding their unity of action will
be a powerful force for justice and
good government in our public af-
fairs.
l believe that the policy of accept
ing Liberty bonds as contributions
towards it's erection will be an aid
and encouragement in the successful
sale of these bonds.
With kind regards,
Very truly yours,

Mr. A. A. Elmore,

Dear Mr.. Gilmore: | want to ex-
press my unqualified approval of the
movement for building a Temple of
Agriculture at the National Capital.
Nothing that could be done would
be of greater service to the farmers
of the United States than to have
here in Washington a building with
offices for the various farm organi-
cations of the country, and to have
these offices filled by able men
wholly devoted to the welfare of the
farmers. The time has come when
everyone recognizes that unless the
farmers of the country are fully or
gained they are helpless in the mat
ter of getting the legislation to which
they are entitled. A Temple of Agri-
future in Washington City would at
once be recognized as the official
headquarters of the American farmer,
and those interested in his welfare
would naturally seek there for the
advice of those who represent the
farmers
Sincerely yours,
