Speakers Take Exception to Declara
tion That They Should Advance
to Higher OfHce.
The presence of many distinguished
guests, an atmosphere of friendliness

ppeaker, introduced by Miss Jessie Mc

memory, a marvelous memory and al
ways was progressive." The bishop in

had accompanied Mrs. Young from th3
room. Miss Sarah Helena Kahey, of
New York, who was called upon for a
speech, said: "Bishop Sumner aroused
me when he said the grade teachers
should advance to other and higher
offices. I hope the time will come when
the grade teacher will be recognized
for her ability and paid as well as the
teacher in the higher classes. Hers is
the important work, molding the char
acter of the young children of the
country.

Third Oregon AImo Is In Xeed of Vol
unteers to Kill AH Vacancies
Before Draft.
The patriotic slogan, 'B a volun
teer," is bringing in many recruits for
Battery B, the new field Artillery unit
being organized in the Oregon National
Guard for servie In France, An effort
will be made to speed up the recruiting
still faster, however, so that the new
battery may have the nucleus of a fine
outfit before the draft goes into etfect.
This is expected to be within the
next few days, so there is every incen
tive to hurry for the man who feels a
patriotic call to join the colors and
prefers to be able to select his own
military outfit, instead of being ar
bitrarily drafted into one branch of
the service or another.
Six more recruits presented them
selves yesterday to Lieutenant Charles
C. Johnson, First Lieutenant of Bat
tery A. for enlistment in Battery B.
The National Guard recruiting station
is at 106 Fourth street.

GASTON IN NEED OF RAIN
Hay All in and Grains Show Lack
of Moisture.
GASTON, Or., July 10. (Special.)
A good soaking- rain of several days"
duration is badly needed in this part
of the valley. Most farmers have their
clover hay in the barn, and their vetch
not yet cut. Winter wheat and other
grains are heading: out and a good rain
would help it to fill. Spring wheat is
very short and needs rain badly. Pas
turage is also beginning to dry up, ana
corn, potatoes, root crops and all gar
den stuff are suffering for want or
moisture. Many dairymen are waiting
for rain so as to put out their kale.
All thinpc considered, a rain at this
time would be most timely. The 300
acres of flax on the Wapato Lake tract
is all in and would be better for rain.
