The m- - Herald is informed that the ' nmmerclal Club has taken charge of the coming celebratiou and will -in' particular attention to the pio leef guests during their reunion, malting their quarters the meeting i'lace for them and devoting their hospitality to them during the day. The Times-Herald is included in 'he pioneers, not only as a personnel, u it is the pioneer paper, having been published continuously since I R87 with a complete file. It has in mind turning to those files and giv- ng some interesting historical Items In connection with this matter In Is-' ues to follow. ' U. S. Wheat Supply Dwindles; Will Not WASHINGTON. (AP) The nation as warned again Thursday by the i osl Aiiministrotion that there must no relaxing in the rigorous eonser i i" n of wheal if the necessary ship- Iments are to be made to the American liters overseas and the allied pco- lies. "Every prospect of the wheat situ ation, both present and future," said the warning, "intensifies the need for t he greatest possible limitations in the r American consumption of wheat and . wheat products. If present restric- I'ioiis should be in the slightest de cree relaxed it would result in seri ns want for the people of Europe be-' irs the new crop can reach the mar- i t. "The food administration's estiniai,- if the position on June 1st indicates a :ts available supply until the new MEMORIAL SKItVK KS HELD AT TIINAWAMA. While several churches of thlH city held services In accordance with the proclamation of I'ri-Hldent Wilson on Thursday it was decided by the bus! men ihat h general gathering should be arranged with appropriate service In commemoration of our soldiers dead in addition to the ser vice asked by the President. The business houses closed for the day and at l!::t( u large number of our people assembled at. Tonawama for the purpose of taking part in appro priate exercises, llov. Hunt, who Is conducting services at I he Haptlsl church, was asked to lead in pre) el and later also took part in the short talks. Itev. W. F. Shields, of the Presbyterian church, Dr. milliard or the Nazarene church. Attorney Charles W. Ellis and Attorney J. W. Biggs were speakers on the occasion and a chorus of voices rendered some appropriate songs. The program was opened by a selection by the Sage bruch Orchestra. The talks made by the speakers were particularly to the point and brought the assembled people to a closer realisation of the seriousness of the war and their part in it. PROBPERITY AND PAYROLLS Evidence In plenty Is available that prosperity goes hand in hand with payrolls. Wherever a goodly number of peo ple are steadily employed at a good wage, there you will find prosperity The payroll dollar comes back into circulation quickly and moves from one business is to another one profes sion is to another and as It moves It stimulates each and every one. Oregon's payrolls are now greater than ever known. They are growing greater every day. The shipyards and kindred indus tries arc spreading millions of dollar Into the hands of thousaunds of workers. The workers pass It along through all the avenues of business and the country is now what we call "pros perous." This wonderful example of th benefit of payrolls should not b without its moral. What if shipbuilding would sud denly cease? What would become oi the thousands now employed there? What other lines of wage earning would they take up? In the midst of our prosperity wt must be serious about this thing oi payrolls. There is a way to provide against a possible calamity, but every citizen must do his or her duty. There i no law to compel It; It Is a mutter for individual action. Every citizen must demand OrOgOi factory products- keep up the de mand insist upon the merchant trade stocking Oregon goods. If you do not increase production by your demand of our factory pro ducts, how can they grow and pros per and add more and more peoph to their payrolls and thus build up a big manufacturing State? It is your move. Mr. Oregon Citi zen. It's your Job to suport Oregon Industries. Begin today. e Mr. and Mrs. Fred Smyth and his mother, Mrs. Cassle Smyth, were over from Diamond last Monday. The two former were initiated Into the Eastern Star Lodge while in town. Use substitutes instead of flour. Relax Restrictions harvest of aliout ftti.OUO.OOO bushels. Of this 30,000,000 bushels must be exported before new wheat is availa ble for export if we are to maintain the absolute necessary shipments to our army and the allies. This leaves about iW.000,000 bushels for demist it consumption for the next two months. "Normal American consumption is something over 40,000,000 bushels a month, so that the most liberal con sumption at home would be only one third of normal. "State administrators meeting this week here were unanimous in the view of the American people to place every grain they can save into stor age to build up a reserve against pos sible bad year- ahead. In consequence there should be no anticipation of "" I'iniu-1 wheat bread until llie war is over. J. C. FOLEY APPOINTED AS WATER MASTER Practical, Experienced and Fair Mind ad Man Place i in Charge of Weter Ditt ibution Here J. ('. Foley received telegraphic In structions the fore part of this I that he was appointed water master for Harney County and was to at urn c enter upon his duties. Ho com piled ill so lar s circumstances win permit, but that doesn't get him very far as it was agreed between all at torney i oncerned together with those clients who were present at the time during the recent term of cir cuit court that the findings of the State, Water Board would not apply during the present Irrigation season, therefore Foley has a job with no authority, at least la helpless to carry out the stipulations of the recent de cision under the circumstances. Mr. Foley has been a resident of this community for over 30 years and Is a practical man with considerable experience In Irrigation. He is also a man of good Judgment and fair minded. His appointment was a good selection. In discussing tbe duties with a representative of this paper Mr. Foley said that all ho could do now was act as an arbitrator in dis putes and he has already brought about amicable agreements between disputing parties.

Bennett was in the other day and ask as to correct a mistake made recently In enumerating the dams that bad gone out of the river during the present irrigating season. The Times-Herald published a story to the effect that five dams had washed out while In fact two of the dams men tioned had not been placed in the stream during the season as yet and a third one never bad existed (we took Mr. McConnell'a word for the dams) therefore In reality but two had washed out. In the story we stated that one In dividual interested had said it was evident that some wood which had been floated down early in the season bad Injured some of the structures. Bob says he Is sure that this was not the case of one dam but possibly was of the other. Mill s is. ill.

At first there was a great interest taken in the drills and many of our men Join ed the ranks; now a lack of Interest has occasioned the suspension of the ! "trulnr drills until such time as some men my be secured to bring the , DOV together. The rulings of the Adjutant Gen eral requires that each enlist for a period of two years but this only holds good In case of the war con tinuing that length of time as it pro vides that members may be discharg ed at tbe conclusion of the war. The conditions are far more lenient thee the code of by-laws recently adopted by the members for their guidance and they do not conflict in any way with the duty of individuals am to their commercial pursuits or the stat us In classification in tbe draft. It la further understood that the services I are limited to within the state. It is necessary that at least sixty-five men ' be enlisted in order to receive reeog- nltion from the state as a military organization and receive equipment. Over half of the required number have signed up and it is desired that the roster be completed without de lay as all are desirous of getting this iquipment and recognition In order to be in readiness to help should oc casion present itself. Those Interested are invited to see Peter Peterson at the Summit Gar age at once as he has the roll.
