14 EPISCOPALIANS ARE URGED TO SERVICE Bishop W. T. Sumner Ad dresses Annual Con- " ference Here. HOSPITAL WORK APPROVED Good Samaritan Third in Size of Church's Institutions in Amer ica St. Helen's Hall Doubles Enrollment. Greater devotion to church work Urged yesterday by Bishop "Walter T. Sumner as a stimulus to greater pa triotism and a preparation for more heroic deeds of sacrifice. The bishop, in his annual address in St. Stephen's rro-Cathedral, urged the members of the diocese of Oregon to give of their time to the Red Cross and similar or ganizations, but in so doing not to for pet their responsibilities to the church, n-hich looks to them as "its faithful soldiers." "It is going to call for sacrifice; let that sacrifice be at the expense, not of your duty to country," said the bishop. "but sacrifice of extravagance and waste, which today In profligacy we ere following with a disgraceful aban don." During .the coming year the Epis copal Church will take an active part In the laymen's missionary movement. The extension of mission work will be on the programme; the Sunday schools will improve and grow, and the dio cesan organizations will be maintained with live interest. All these things will take place if the plans outlined in the bishop's report are fulfilled. Good Samaritan Rank llinrh. In enumerating the needs- of Good Famaritan Hospital, Bishop Sumner stated that a new wing should be built and a maternity hospital and a con valescent home should be supplied. He declared that Good Samaritan cares for the needy contract patients at a low figure the smallest but one of 40 lead ing hospitals in the country He said that from 24 to 28 per cent of the cases 4hnt rnmA trt them are cared for free of charge. Today of the 50 or 60 chur cb hospitals under the control of the i.pls- copal Church in this country, the Good Samaritan stands third in size. New Tork and Chicago only being larger. The bishop commended the manage ment of the hospital and that of St. Helen's Hall. The school, which has been conducted by the church for nearly 50 years, has practically doubled Its enrollment in the last two years. Traise was given to the Sisters of St. John the Baptist, who have charge of St. Helen's Hall. Social Work Reported. Another report of ' the convention that covered a wide scope of activities was that of the Rev. Frederick Howard, chaplain of Good Samaritan Hospital end superintendent of the Episcopal Ko-1a.l Service League. The work of Scaddlng House, social service at the hospital, the Seamen's Institute and. the welcoming of strangers is included in the scope of the league. Chaplain Howard made a strong plea for the Port of Portland, and placed the seal of his approval on the measure to be voted on at the election June 4. "As we reported last year," .he said "the work for seamen is a part of our third division, and we have kept open the institute at 13i Third street, though there have been few offshore nhins coming to our port." This morning holy communion will be celebrated at 7:30 o'clock by Dean McCollister, and at 9:30 o'clock by Rev, B. G. Lee. Business and reports and matters of interest to the diocese will occupy the attention of the clergy and the lay delegates for the morning and afternoon. Tonight there will be a mystery play, "The Great Trail," given at St. David's Church by a cast of 60 nersons. Delegates are in attendance from all varts of the diocese, and the interest in the church's work is shown to be grow ing steadily. Officers elected yesterday were: Sec retary. Rev. J. D.

RICH STILL HOARD GOLD Sales of Government Issue Are Few and Scheme Is Icvised to In terest Masses in Providing Sinews of "War for Allies. If the masses of the people are to buy their proportinate share of war bonds they .ill have- to have assist ance from their employers, say bond authorities in Portland. They don't mean financial assistance. but assistance by the extension of credit. It is probable, say the bankers, that the larger employers here will be urged to adopt the policy already put into effect by the Union Pacific sys tem, the estern l nion Telegraph Company and other big corporations who have arranged to buy big blocks of bonds on their own account, allowing their employes to pay for them on monthly installments. Such a proposal probably will he put before the employers by the Portland Clearing-house within the next few days. The Clearing-house committee already is considering the scheme ten tatively. Small Sums Paid Monthly. C. A. Miller, of San Francisco, has been assigned by the Federal Reserve Bank to assist the Portland bankers in selling the liberty bonds, and until he arrives here to take charge of the work it is probable that the credit plan will not be formally presented to the employers. (Meanwhile, however, there Is noth ing to prevent any employer from put ting the plan into effect on his own Initiative. By this arrangement the employes re permitted to subscribe to a block of bonds equivalent, in value, to one fourth of their annual salaries, or for any part thereof. The employer pays the Government for the entire subscrip tion at par and holds the bonds him self as security. The employe then repays the employ er at the rate of o a month or ? 10 a month as may be agreed, and gets possession of the ngraved bond a soon as payments are completed. Whether the employer or the em ploye draws the interest on the de ferred payments is a detail that is to be arranged among themselves, but bankers are urging employers to allow the interest to go to the employes as a special inducement for them to sub scribe. N Wealth Still Is Hoarded. Bond sales continued to be slow in Portland yesterday. One man bought a $30,000 lot, and another J15.000. But the bulk of subscriptions come from people in comparatively humble circumstances, who buy 150 and 100 at a shot. People with hoarded wealth appar ently have not let loose. It is said that some of them are waiting for the Gov ernment to pay a higher rate of inter est. .But it must be remembered that the present issue, paying 3, is con vertible at par into any bonds paying higher rate should the Government issue higher-rate bonds , at any time during the war. , Bankers who like to delve into the psychology of every human impulse be lieve they can detect another reason for the apparent apathy in the campaign. At present, all a person gets upon making application for a loan is a prosaic bit of paper carrying the bank er's receipt. The engraved bond certificate. printed in green ink with gilt trim mings, will not be ready until about July 1. These psychological students have it figured out that the average investor is not much attracted by an ordinary recipt, albeit he realizes it represents the credit of the country just as much as the engraved bond itself. When the bankers are able to hand the green and gold certificate over the counter they believe Mr. Average In vestor will be more ready to buy. Women o Sew for Guardsmen.

M'ADOO MAKES BOND SALE Secretary of Treasury' Takes Stroll at Way Point and Aids Loan. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., May 23. William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, and W. B. G. Harding, governor of the Federal Reserve Board, devoted 17 min utes while en route from Denver to St. Joseph to make a liberty loan sale of $5000 in Wymore, Neb., a town of less than 1000 inhabitants. At the state line Mr. McAdoo pro posed to his companion "to have a look uptown." They went to the First Na tional Bank, where they introduced themselves, and Harding refused to leave without doing some business. The bank doubled its subscription to $5000, REDISCOUNT RATE IS FIXED Federal Reserve Bank Takes Action to Aid Liberty Loan. SAN" FRAXCISCO. May 23. The Fed eral Reserve Bank of San Francisco today a'nnounced that it had. with the approval of the Federal Reserve Board, established a rate of 3ft per cent for the rediscount of notes, drafts and bills of exchange having a maturity not exceeding 30 days and secured by liberty loan bonds or l-nited btates Treasury certificates. This rate was established, it was stated, to facilitate subscriptions to the liberty loan, by member banks and to enable them to assist their depositors who wish to subscribe for bonds.

DESCHUTES TO BRING SUIT Fact Old Quo Warranto Suit Is Pend ing Causes Official to Ignore Act of Recent Session of Oregon legislature. BEXD, Or.. May 23. (Special.) Be cause the old quo warranto suit to test the title to office of the County Court of Deschutes County is still pending in the Circuit Court. County Clerk Warren Brown of Crook County refuses to turn over to Deschutes County registration cards of voters In the new county. A bill directing the transfer of these records was passed by the last legisla ture, becoming effective oh Monday. As a result of Mr. Brown s action, con iderable uncertainty exists in Des- hutes County In respect to registra tion for the coming general election, Shortly after the appointment of the County Court by Governor Wlthycombe luo warranto proceedings were orougnt in the name of Gus E. Stadlg. of Lower Hrldee various allegations as to the non-existence of Deschutes County be ing made. Later, when the Legislature met. a bill was introduced ootti con firming the creation of the county by the voters at the November election and creating it anew, thereby removing anv doubt as to its legal existence. A bill was also passed providing for the transfer of various records, Including registration cards. So satisfied was Mr. fetadig ot tne legality of Deschutes County alter tnis that he withdrew his name from the quo warranto proceedings and peti tioned that they be aismissea. The attorneys, however, continued in the prosecution of the case and it is still oendtng on tho docket. For that reason Mr. Brown refuses to transfer the records as provided in the law. Anticipating this situation county Clerk Hanor, of Deschutes County, h been registering voters anew, but very few have re-registered, and it Is possi ble that a mandamus suit to compel the transfer of the records may be begun.

THIRD OREGON IS INCLUDED All Cnlts Not Vet Called Will Be Taken In Clackamas May Be Used as One of Con centration Camps. The entire National Guard of Oregon, Including all units not as yet called Into the Federal service, as well as the Third Oregon Infantry, which has been mustered into service for a couple of months and is now stationed at Van couver Barracks, will be drafted into the United States Army in July. Official orders to this effect were received yesterday from the War De partment by George A. White, Adju tant-General of the Oregon National Guard. The first Oregon organization to be drafted in to the United States Army will be the Oregon Coast Artillery. The orders received by General White direct that it shall be drafted into the Army on July 15. The other National Guard units, in cluding the Third Oregon Infantry, Battery A. Oregon Field Artillery, and Troops A. B and C. Oregon Cavalry, and probably Troop D, which will be organized by that time, will be drafted into the regular Army on July as. The orders direct that the work of recruiting all these organizations to full war strength be expedited, which General White has already done. They are all so nearly up to war strength that it will be a matter of a compara tivelv short time to complete the work. Muster Docs Not Affect Draft, Some confusion of terms may result from the fact that the Third Oregon has been in the Federal service since it was officially mustered shortly after being called out In March. Just why It should now be drafted into tne service is likely to puzzle the layman. This drafting Into the United btates Army will have nothing to do with conscription. It means simply that the organization will be taken bodily nto the United States Army, ana win cease from that time to be parts of the Na tional Guard, or to have anpr connection with It. After being drafted into the Army, they can be ordered to any point the President may direct, either in this country or abroad. General Whites Instructions xrom the War Department direct that after the date of the draft. -hlcn lor tne Oregon Coast Artillery will be July 15 and for the Third Oregon and other units will be July 23, the various or ganizations will be kept at their home rendezvous for two weeks, after which they will be moved to concentration camps somewhere in tue w estern de partment. Extra Instruction Ankcd, The War Department has urged that all men receive extra Instruction from now until the time their commands are drafted into the Army. General White has been advised that at this time there are not sufficient uniforms and other supplies on hand to equip all the National Guard troops. As fast as these supplies can be ac cumulated they will be furnished. Some of the men may not be fully equipped until after they reach the concentra tion camps. The locations of these concentration camps have not been announced. American Ltke perhaps will be one of them. There is a probability, also, that a large military camp will be located at Clackamas, where the Oregon troops mobilized prior to the Mexican expe dition last year. Although a poor lo cation for a Winter encampment. Clackamas is satisfactory for a bum mer camp. While press reports have Indicated that the National Guard would be drafted bodily into the United States Army, the orders received by General White yesterday are the first official word that has been received here bear ing on the subject.

That the mothers of 20 and 30 years ago knew nothing of the sentiment xpreesed In the song, "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier," is evident from the large number of young men f military ace who applied at the registration office in the Court House yesterday to register under the Se lective Draft Act. Men from every part of the country, of al! races, of all lies and of all ages, kept Registrar Schneider and two deputies busy throughout the day.

TEXAS HARVEST BEGINS KIIIST REAPER STARTS WORK GREAT WHEAT CROP. News of Actual UeglnnlnK of Opera tions Comes Three Daya Ahead ef Normal In Answer to Cry for Bread. CHICAGO. May 23. In Texas, near Fort Worth, yesterday, an American reaper began to hum the first notes of the world's greatest agricultural sym phony the harvest of the 1917 Amer ican wheat crop. From now on the note will swell until the crescendo of tens of thousands such machines bursts over the great gran aries of Kansas and the valleys of the Dakotas until about September 1 the last North Ainerti-an sheaf has been cut In the far-off Hudson Bay territory. "The Texas harvest has started. flashed over the wires of the brokers, and crop students said that never in history did such a message carry more of hope and meaning to the world, for this crop, according to leading statesmen, enters Into the grand- strat egy of the war and into the very pol itics of nations. The word from Texas was taken as good omen, too. for it showed that the harvest had been started three days earlier than normal, and even three days Is important, it is said, when the whole world ia crying for wheat. Another cheering note was added to the symphony by Bernard Snow, the crop statistician, who said that Texas was expected to yield 15.000.000 bushels, or 10 per cent more than last year.

Oregon reported no change at 1663 for the 10-day period, and Washington dropped from 2182 to 1933.
