GENERAL MAY TELLS
OF GUARD CONVENTION
Oregon Ahead of Most States
in Reorganization.
PERMANENCY IS ASSURED
Meeting Attended by Adjutant-Generals
From 34 States or by
Special Delegations.
Tleorsanization of the national guard
in every state in the union, with a
record of splendid war-time efficiency
and a nucleus of returned active serv
ice men to build upon, is now actively
in progress, reports Brigadier-General
John L. May, adjutant-general of Ore
gon, who returned yesterday afternoon
from St. Louis, where he attended the
recent national guard convention of the
United States, and later the first na
tional assembly of the American legion.
"Oregon is perhaps further ahead
than most of her sister states in the
reorganization of the national guard."
.-aid General May, "but everywhere the
sentiment is for the retention of this
fine branch of the service, which
proved Its value so conclusively in the
recent war. All states are now en
gaged in reorganization work, and the
future of the national guard is large
with certainty and promise.
Important Resolutions Adopted.
"Several important resolutions were
adopted at the St. Louis convention,
which was attended by adjutant-generals
from 34 states, or by special dele
gations. Each of these resolutions is
aimed at the effective permanency ot
the national eruard.
"One resolution declares that. In
consideration of the valuable service
rendered by the national guard during
the war, the organization should be
made the basis for universal military
training, if such is decided upon. The
national guard system of training would
not only be comparatively inexpensive
and possessed of intensive mobility,
but it would serve to keep the men at
home and in industrial life, instead of
scattering them widely in training
camps.
"The convention also asked, in an
other resolution, that the national de
fense act be bo amended that the na
tional guard will be recognized as a
corps, reporting directly to the secre
tary of war, and not through the
militia bureau or the general staff. If
favorably acted upon, this would
divorce the guard entirely from the
regular army and make it the sponsor
of its own affairs, answerable only to
the secretary of war. 1 believe the
proposal to be an excellent one.
"Contingent upon universal military
training; a third resolution asks that
the regular guard term of enlistment
be reduced to three years, instead or
three years with the colors and four
years in the reserve. It also asks that
all men who saw service in the recent
war be allowed to cnliBt for a one
year period. ,
"There was evident at the convention
a strong determination for the imme
diate reorganization of the national
guard on a basis equal or superior to
that of the organization when it was
called Into federal service in March
1917.
All State Hrorcnnlzlntr.
"All the states are now in the process
of reorganizing the national guard, with
overseas men as the nucleus. In some
of the New Kngland states famous
regiments, such as the th Iscw lorR
and the 10th Pennsylvania, ari being
transferred to the national guard, re
taining the same personnel of com
missioned and non-commissioned off
cers.
"At the convention we asked, by res
olution, for a readjustment of pay, set-
ling forth the unfairness of the exist
Ing system, which provides that pay
shall be based upon a drill attendance
or not less than CO. We have asked
that it be based on actual attendance
instead. Under the present regulations
f5 men might assemble for drill and
receive no official recognition. Th
is manifestly unfair to the men who
are faithful and who are willing to
drill regularly.
I.cicrlon AMMrmbl5 Attended.
"The convention opened on May 5
and concluded its sessions on May 8
being immediately followed by the
""three-day assembly of the American
Legion, which I attended as delegate
,r:from Oregon. Of course, everyone
knows of the Legion, of its non-pollt
. acal character, and of its purpose.
L Something of the spirit of the organiza
lion may be gleaned from the fact that
it passed resolutions calling for the
i . deportation of all who were enemy
-aliens during the period of the war.'
;, General May was accompanied by
:Mrs. May, and although both enjoyed
the trip, they found the middle west
'"' sweltering in heat and were earnestly
wishful for the return to Oregon.
H ' The national guard organization in
" Oregon comprises at present the recent
- - ly organized 3d Oregon infantry and
one battalion of engineers, with
" battalion of coast artillery in process
f organization.

OREGON CITY TEMPLE GOES
Merchants Ask for Jtcmoval of War
Drive Headquarters.
OREGON" CITV, Or., May 21. (Spe
cial.) The liberty temple in Oregon
City has served its purpose, and was
wrecked Wednesday, the material be
ing returned to those who donated it.
The temple was erected for the third
liberty loan drive and has served aw
headquarters for all other drives of
tho government and other war organ
izations. Material and work for Its
erection were donated by patriotic cit-
zens. Between drives and after tho
victory loan drive the women of the
W. C. T. IT. maintained a rest room
the building. The structure occu
pied most of Seventh street cast of
Main and nearly all the merchants
asked for its removal.
MILL DROPS NIGHT SHIFT
Smith Lumber Company Vnable to
Keep Men at $3.60 a Day.
MARSHP1ELD. Or., May 21. (Spe
cial.) For the first time in the his
tory of Coos Bay an industry finds it
cannot maintain a night force of GO
men. The Smith Lumber company's
Bay City sawmill attempted to double
ts output by working nigms. dui
after two atetmpts, each time short of
wdrkmen, dropped the night force.
Laborers refused to sign lor a
day of eight hours. A few years ago
the Smith company paid common laoor
$1.50 a day.
Kelso Teachers Kcsign.
KELSO, Wash., May 21. (Special.)
Most of the teachers of the Kelso
schools, with the exception!! of one or
two, have resigned since the reduction
ot wages was made known, leaving
about 20 vacancies to be filled. It is
greatly feared considerable difficulty
will be found In securing well qualified
teachers. Not one ot the '.igh school
teachers will return. There also will
be a change of superintendent and
principals.

WASTE IN CnSCnfin
TRACTS THREATENED
Excessive Peel in Northwest
This Season Feared.
MARKET NOW OVERLOADED
Speculators, In Effort to Corner Sup
ply, 3fay Cause Serious Dam
age to Forests.
Efforts are bains made to conserve the
crop of cascara. one of tha most Indis
pensable articles in the medical world and
grown only on the Pacific coast.
The present crop growing tn the forests
of the northwest is ample to fill tha demand
for all time if properly conserved. In other
words, tha cascara crop, if not wasted, is
reproducing Itself as fast as It Is being
consumed. The mature crop still standing
is probably ample to supply the demand for
from 20 to SO years and the new crop which
is springing up on the million of acres of
logged-off lands throughout the Pacific
coast wjll mature a new crop which will
become availabla in 10 to 13 years if not
destroyed.
Northwestern dealers who are interested
in fostering the industry assert that a bull
campaign is being carried on by certain
speculative Interests in an attempt to corner
the crop, which will have the effect of not
only Increasing the already large oversupply
but will also go a long way toward de
nuding the forests. A - well-known handler
af bark says:
"Such a campaign inevitably defeats
itself. It calls out each year by the mag
net of inflated prices an ever-Increasing
production from the very ample original
crop growing in the vast forested areas of
the coast. It constantly increases an al
ready large oversupply. Every cent added to
the price in the endeavor to control the
market increases the output in geometrical
ratio.
"The output in 1913 was fully double the
demand, resulting in half the crop being
carried over into this year. The output this
year will be enormous, easily four times
the amount of the normal demand. This is
partly due to inflated prices and partly
due to tho fact that many of the large
timber owners such as Weyerhaeuser, th
Port RIakely Mill company and others who
have, in prior years, refused to sell their
cascara, arc putting their stumpage on the
market this year in large quantities.
'In addition to these facts all the large
manufacturers and consumers in this coun
try are carrying very large stocks, suf
ficient to carry them throughout several
years of inflated prices without making
any additional purchases of consequence.
"The export market is absolutely dead.
The demand from this source is at best ex
tremely limited."
BARLEY CONTrXlKS TO ADVANCE
Corn AIno Hiclier on Local Board Oats
Are L'ncbanffed.
The barley market retained all its strength
yesterday, and bids at the Merchants Ex
change were further advanced 2of50 cents.
Corn bids ware also 00 cents hlsher. Oats
were unchanged.
Weather conditions in the middle west
as wired from Chicago: "Minneapolis, clear,
fine; Duluth, clear, fine. 05; Chicago, rain
ing, cool; Peoria, cloudy, SO; Davenport,
drizzling, 48; St. Louis, drizzling, 60; Kan
sas City, clear, 87; Hutchinson, clear, 65;
Topeka, fine: Ohio Valley, cloudy, cold.
Forecast: Illinois, rain; balance of grain
belt warmer."
There Is a continued active demand for
corn in the United Kingdom, but offerings
are ery small and any quantities put for
ward quickly meet with absorption. Since
corn meal has been decontrolled this com
modity of the Argentine trade Is nuntrrf
at r.0s per ton below the hitherto govern
ment limits. Reports from Argentina, men
tion good buying by the allies and neu
trals, and It Is interesting to noto that many
more ships are destined to load with grain.
There are now on passage to Europo 5,!12,
000 bushels of corn, oats trade Is con
fined to small amounts of natlva sorts.
Foreign remain unoffered. Arrivals of im
ported grades in the United Kingdom have
been rather moderate, but there are at pres
ent large stocks.

RAINS HELP GRAIN CROP
SPRING "WHEAT, BAR LEV AND
OATS GERMINATE WELL.
Weather Darin? Week Favorable for
Fruit in Oregon Some Dropping
of Apples, Cherries and Prunes.
Oregon crop conditions are summarized in
the weekly report of the weather bureau as
follows:
The week was cool, with considerable
cloudiness. Light rains were ' of frequent
occurrence in the western counties, and scat
tered showers occurred in most of the east
ern part of the state, but there was a con
siderable area In the central and southeast
ern counties where no rain fell. A little
snow fell In a few elevated localities. Frost
occurred several mornings in some of the
eastern counties. Jn the central and south
ern counties there were high drying winds
and some dust storms. Snow In the moun
tains melted rather slowly, but streams car
ried a good flow of water. Except over
limited areas in the western and southern
counties farm work Is well in hand, and
vegetation is fairly well advanced for the
be a on.
The cool weather and light rains were
favorable for winter wheat, oats and rye.
Where no rain fell these crops are suffer
ing from drought, but the acreage thus af
fected Is relatively email. Some little dam
age was done by f rot and cold winds.
Spring wheat, oats and barley are germin
ating well in mot localities, and have been
helped by rain, but need more rain. Seeding
is still In progress in some elevated locali
ties. A lew aphides are reported from Polk
county and grasshoppers are doing some
damage in Klamath county. Planting of
corn is progressing rapidly, though over
very small areas planting was stopped by
rain. Warmer weather ts needed for corn.
The weather was generally favorable for
fruit but Hi ere is still complaint of apples,
cherries and prunes dropping. Strawberries
are plentiful in Douglas county and are
ripening in other sections. Early cherries
are turning In northern Umatilla county.
The growth of alfalta and clover has been
retarded by low temperature and lack of
sunshine. Other hay crops have generally
made good growth. Meadows and pastures
have been revived by rain in tho western
counties, and to a limited extent elsewhere.
More rain is needed. Stock continues to
make good gains. Shearing continues. Some
sheep have been poisoned on the range in
Lake county.
Planting of potatoes continues. Early po
tatoes are growing well. Gardens need
warmer weather and more sunshine.

A KINDNESS TO YOUR WIFE
She has no doubt been a loving and helpful com
panion who has been quite willing to share with
you the responsibilities of life.
But would it be a kindness to name her in your
will as executrix? Would she not be worried and
harrassed by the burden of details and problems
involving work for which she has not been trained
by experience?
We respectfully suggest the appointment of an ex
perienced trust company as executor or as co-executor
with your wife.
