VICTORY DRIVE TO
BEGIN APRIL q.
(From the East Oregonian. J

(From the East Oregonian.)
Preliminary organization of Umatilla
county for carrying on the Victory
Liberty Loan campaign next month
was undertaken Tuesday afternoon at
a conference between W. L. Thompson
who has been named county chairman.
and others who have been instrumental
in putting over the campaigns.
One thing has been made clear to the
local Liberty Loan officials. Viii 3
the short term notes offered in the Vic
tory Loan will be much more attractive
as an investment than the bonds of
other loans, it is considered as abso-
lutely impossible to float the loan ex-
cept upon a patriotic basis. All mes
sages from the treasury department.
and from the district and state organ
izations emphasize that the people as
a whole must prepare to participate in
this new loan and must be made to z
realize that they are obliged to assist
in paying the price of early victory.
Mr.. Thompson has named the Same
district chairmen in the county as have
handled past campaigns with one exv
ception. Fred H. Noes. new cashier
of the bank of Helix, has been named
as chairman Of the Helix district to
succeed Carl Kupers. former cashier
and chairman. Much of the same ma
chinery employed in past campaigns
will in all likelihood be used and an
active solicitation drive will undoubt-
edly be held. The campaign will open
on April 81 and will close on May 10.
A statewide conference will be held
in Portland on March s8 and Chairman
Thompson and several other represent
atives of Umatilla county are planning
to attend to see that proper consider
alton is given this county in the deter
mination Of quotas. 1t is believed at
| this time that the county quota will
be considerably less than the quota of
the Fourth Loan.
There was no disposition on the part
of those present at the conference to
shirk the responsibilities and duties of
this new task and they confidently an
ticipate that the citizenship Of the
county will support them in maintain
ing to the end the splendid record
which has been made in war endeavors.
The boys with the army of occupation
would much prefer to come home than
to stand watch on the banks Of the
Rhine but last week at divisional
review they assured General Pershing

planatory: "By direction of the Com

authorized again to station my dep
uties at vari )us points throughout the

plete income tax returns within the
required time, and to render any other
service that may be necessary or de-
sired. Any adjustments of income
taxes should be made now. as an ex-
tensive "drive" for delinquents will
soon be undertaken. Income tax offic-
ers Miller and Chamberlain will be at
Athena from and including March 81
to and including April l, 1919. 1t is
the wish of the Department that every

PLUCKY GIRL DRIVES AWAY
TRIO OF INTRUDERS

Billings, Sept. 29.-Standing on the
front porch of her home at 3 o'clock
in the morning, Miss Neva Kirby,
daughter of C. B. Kirby, fired three
shots from a As calibre Colts revol-
yer at three men who attempted to
break into the house through a base
ment window. Mr.. Kirby was out of
the city, and the girl and two women
companions were alone.
Before retiring, Miss Kirby saw the
three men prowling about the yard
and ordered them to leave. They dis
appeared but hours later Miss Kirby
was aroused from sleep by the noise
they made in attempting to break the
latch on the window. She arose, Sc
cured the heavy revolver and stepped
out onto the porch. The roar of the
gun was the first warning the men
received. They darted toward the
street, and Miss Kirby fired the other
shots before the darkness swallowed
their figures.
The police secured the district unit
daybreak but found no trace of thu
men.

STOUT PAYS TRIBUTE
TO FORMER PRESIDENT
Is in Sympathy With Efforts to
Secure a Splendid Memorial
In Honor of Roosevelt.

Tom Stout of Lewiston has written
to J. M. Kennedy, secretary Of the
Roosevelt Memorial association, a
splendid tribute to the late Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt as follows:
Replying to yours of the 22nd in
slant, l beg to say that | am heartily
in sympathy with the purpose of the
Roosevelt Memorial association and
will be glad to render all possible as
sistance in raising Montana's quota
of $4,000. 1t is characteristic of our
people and to the everlasting glory
of our republic that when one who has
served them largely and whom they
have honored passes from the scene
of his earthly labors, all of the voices
of partisan strife and anger are stilled
and he is remembered not for what
he said or did in the heat Of partisan
conflict, but for what he said and did
for his country.
"First and always, Colonel Roose.
welt was a great American, typifyine
the vigor, the physical, mental ane
moral ru%ggedness, the inherent love
for fair play, the instructive consid
GRAFTON for the unfortunate and OPP
pressed, the unaffected belief in ant
adherence to the individual virtues O
the American people. A force, peren
NAL in it's freshness, in%spirational il
it's daring, magnificent in it's disre
gard for minor consequences, passe'
from our national life when he turne'
his face from the scene of his earthl,
struggles and triumphs and closed hi
eyes in his last long sleep.
"But the effects of his words an
his deeds, the example of his devotion
to American ideals, will constitute
strengthening fibre in the life Of thi
people so long as they follow tn
straight way of national Righteousness
marked out by the fathers. Any sor
of an adequate monument erected
: the memory of Theodore Roosevelt
: will be like unto those raised to tn
memories of Washington and Jeffe1
;, son and Jackson and Lincoln and Grar
' and Mckinley in hat it shall serve a
another guide post to those who sha
! follow after us, pointing to tn
{ straight road ahead, through the va
legs of heroic sacrifice, across tn
broad fields of honor and up over tn
mountain tops of splendid achieve
Z ment."
