Two Directors Will Be Selected in
' La Grande District Terms of J
E,. Reynolds and L. P. Day Expire
Latter Nol a Candidate Mr.
Chas. E. Henderson Announces
Candidacy,
The annual school election which is
to be held on Monday, the 18th of
June, will cause all first class dis
tricts, such as La Grande, to elect two
directors this year, instead of one as
formerly. The term of directors in
districts of the first class 'has always
been five years, with five directors,
but the last legislature amended the
law making the term three years, as
in all other classes of districts, but
retaining five directors.
Mr. Day Retires.
Mr. J. E. Reynolds, the present
chairman of the local school board,
has served five years, and Mr. L. P.
Day, residing at 1901 U avenue, has
served four years, and therefore the
terms of Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Day
expire at this time. While no definite
statement has been secured from Mr.
Reynolds, it is generally regarded as
certain that he will accept re-election.
Mr. Day, however, has stated he
would not be a candidate and today
he reiterated his declination, although
stating his pleasure in working with
his fellow directors during his ser
vice of five years, one by appoint
ment and four by election. Mr. Day
has been the only representative on
the board of the large and populous
section of the district surrounding
the Greenwood r.nd Rivera schools.
Chas. E. Henderson Announces.
Mr. Chas. E. Henderson, a carpen
ter "residing at 1801 V avenue, was
today presented with a petition of his
neighbors and fellow-residents of the
same section of the district as now
represented by Mr. Day. asking him
to become a candidate for the place
made vacant by the retirement of the
latter, and has consented. Mr. Hen
derson stated he had been in no sense
a candidate but has yielded to the
representations of his neighbors and
will appreciate the support of all hav
ing confidence in him and wishing to
grant to each portion of the district
representation upon this important
board. His only platform, he states,
is that he desires an economical and
businesslike policy pursued in the
handling of the business of the dis
trict, and the usefulness of the schools
extended as far as can be economical-
i ly done. "I wish to add that in be
j coming a candidate I have not done
i so with any desire or intention, if
'elected, to reward any friends or pun-
i mh any enemies. As far as T know,
I conditions are in good running order !
and I shall approach changes or de
partures with caution."

Problem of Feeding Soldiers anu
Civilians During War
Taken Up.
Food for the nation's soldiers and for
those "left behind" as well took a co-ordinate
prominence with finance among
the government's first steps to win tho
war.
"This war will be won on food," de
clared Herbert Quick. As Quick was
making his statement Secretary of Ag
riculture Houston was disseminating
through all news agencies an appeal to
housewives dealing with conservation
of all foodstuffs and elimination of
waste in tho households.
In the meantime talk of government
supervision of food distribution con
tinued In governmental circles and
among members of the Council of Na
tional Defense.
There was evidence tlint appoint
ment of a food dictator similar to those,
named in some of tho European bel
ligerent countries will bo fought. Some?
government heads said there should bo
no such step until Intensive funning
nnd homo gardening projects, such us
described by Carl Vroomau, assistant
secretary of ugrlculture, havo been giv
en full test.
"Mobilization of the country's agri
cultural forces," said' Quick, member
of the federal farm loan hoard, "is as
important as raising an army. Tbo
board is directly behind the movement,
with ail Its hundreds of millions of
resources.
"We have perfected tho system to
lend out $200,000,000 to the farmers of
the country to stimulate crop produc
tion. This sum will be raised by issu
ance of 4V4 per cent bonds.
"We expect a very quick response to
this bond Issue. Tho security they
offer Is uncqunled.
"True, the question of farm labor Is
perplexing now. But with the money
we lend the farmers they can easily
buy the most modern machinery, which
will almost wholly answer this question."
