Saturday evening the woman's parade will be held in the down town district, led by the Cherrian band. The parade will form on the north side of the court house. with a march to Commercial street. thence on Commercial to State and on State to Willson park where there will be patriotic exercises and special speakers.

The big yellow automobile from Portland, which has been seen in every patriotic affair in that city will come to Salem for three days beginning Thursday, the first day of the drive.

At the state fair, arrangements have been made for a fourth liberty loan booth with the Woman's club in charge

Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner, general in charge of the campaign, has issued the following call to his captains:

"Recognizing that the success of the 3rd liberty loan was due to the excellent selling organization and the personnel thereof, the government has urged that no change be made in the same in the 4th loan drive. Therefore, all of the members of the 3rd liberty loan sales organization. from the state chairman down to your humble servant, have agreed to serve in the same capacity as last year.

"Now, sir. I felt, as no doubt did those above me, and as you may feel, that I could not possibly spare the time to be more than a worker on this drive. However, I recognized that the national undertaking of this 4th liberty loan was more important than any state or personal matter, and agreed to serve in the same capacity as last year. You, therefore, have been selected as captain of practically the same team and district as you had last time."
