SPUD CONFERENCE ASKED Outlook for Growers and Consumers . Declared Serious. The National Agricultural Society of New York sent a letter yesterday to Herbert Hoover at Washington, urg ing that the Food Administration Board call an immediate conference to consider the potato situation. Ex-Sec retary of Agriculture Wilson is presi dent of the society, which has head quarters In New York. The outlook for both growers and consumers Is declared to be a serious one. owing to the fact that no provision has been made to care for a probable large potato surplus. Basing Its estimates upon govern ment figures, the Society believes that the surplus this year will be not less than 160.000.000 bushels. Says the society. "As it Is manifestly Impossible to export any large quanti ty of potatoes this year. It is necessary, we believe, to devise plans, and that speedily, to increase domestic con sumption, and In that way utilise our vast surplus. "A potato surplus cannot be canned or preserved as a matter of fact the potato is a highly perishable crop and it certainly seems that we should at once begin a campaign which should result in absorbing It." The suggestion is made that "potato days" be substituted for tbe proposed "meatless days. and that the slogan of "Eat more potatoes." be started at once. It is pointed out that the present potato crop, owing to the high cost of seed, fertilizers and labor, has already cost the farmers a dollar a bushel to produce. The society warns that un less adequate provision is made for marketing the crop profitably, the farmer may not again respond to the appeals to increase production. PROMINENT WOMAN TO CEL.

LEGALITY OF ACTS QUERIED Nine Questions Arising In Mind of One Not Only Willing but Anxious to Serve, Are Here Answered. PORTLAND. Or, Sept. 15. (To the Editor.) In response to the call for all to do their bit. there has. perhaDS. been no greater effort along the line of activity than the forming of mothers, wives, sweethearts and friends, of our soldiers Into auxiliaries. It would be a repetition of things well known to name them here. Suf fice it to say that the fundamental motives of one and all are of the high est. Innumerable have been the bene fits, ranging all the way from the purchase of an ambulance to the plac ing of the pins by loving hands in the comfort kits of "our boys." as they are suirerea to wnen the above things are proposed. The above Is nrobablv well known for, as The Oregonian said edltorlallv last week In reference to soldiers' de pendents, "the peosle of Oregon know their duty." But to know your duty. nowever. ana to knew the right ap proach to duty are two distinct things and yet they must go hand In hand If we get the best results from our ef forts. So. In pursuance of the above. I would like to ask a few questions: 1. When an auxlllarv .nr.. tn rr-. . . any article or commodity do the members or that organization become responsible as Individuals for the payment of the same? 2. Ha any member, otber than the presi dent, the power to call a special meeting, and would a tranaactlon at aucb a meetlns be leffal ? 3. Is there any law forbidding the use of the nam of any duly organized organiza tion. unlncoriWrated, and if so, what la the penalty 7 4. When people stop payment on a cheek, do they act within their rights? 5. Define, so far aa noaaible the duties of a special committee. Can a standing committee De imposed upon an organization other than those named In the constitution? 6. May reports be aaked for. and what ahould be the attitude of the committee toward requests of that kind? 7. In the absence of the president. Is the power of tbe acting president as valid as that of the president? 8. w hat, if any, legal recognition has the recorded and approved minutes of a meeting ? ft. Can a bin for any article be collected until aald article Is delivered Intact, unless otherwise provided for In contract or order? AUXILIARY MEMBER. 1. If the organization Is unincor porated, it is probable that each one who was present at the meeting au thorizing the purchase and who voted in the affirmative could be held for payment. 2. This would depend wholly upon provisions of the constitution as to who shall call special meetings. 8. There is no such law so far as known, except insofar as the wrongful use of any nam involves fraud. 4. Yes. B.

Since It Is the function of a com mittee to investigate and report, it is assumed reports may be asked for, and it Is also presumed the committee would be quite willing to report or it would not be appointed. 7. Yes. 8. Minutes; duly approved, are evi dence of official action by any organi zation and, as such, would bind that body to whatever action was taken. 8.

FLEISCHYER RETIRES AS BEAD OF WELFARE BUREAU. Work to Be Provided for Invalids and Atrd Tkat They May Not Feel Wkolly Dependent. I. N. Fleischner has retired as head of the Public Welfare Bureau, formerly the Associated Charities, after giving his services for r. number of years, and Ben Selling has been elected in his place. Mr. Selling began his duties last week. A. R- Gephart remains as secretary. The headquarters are at 444 Courthouse. Mr. Fleischner was the second presi dent of the organization, taking up the duties some years ago, when Thomas N. Strong retired on account of falling health. Mr. Selling makes the third president ef the organisation ia about 30 years. Secretary Gephart said yesterday plans for Winter work were under way. While there is no unemployment prob lem at this time, there is a problem of caring for the sick and aged who have been forgotten by the public during its patriotic work. "Heretofore the sick and aged have been cared for to a large extent by various communities - or groups of workers." said Mr. Gephart. "But with the advent of the war this has been overlooked and theo people now are coming to us. The Public Welfare Bu reau this year hopes to be able to find work for the handicapped persons who come within our purview. There are many men and women who, though aged or crippled, can do certain work. We hope to organize this work for them. One Idea we have is to collect nd repair old clothing to be used again by the applicants of the Welfare Bu reau." Oregon Soldier Sentenced. SEATTLE. . Wash., Sept. 16. (Spe cial.)
