Arouses Enthusiasm.
HOE PARADE IS HELD
food Preparedness Meeting Held at
Lincoln High SchooflMaces Em
phasis on Xecd or Intensive
Fanning Daring AVar.
Agricultural Oregon took stock of
herself yesterday.
Every community of the state which
produces food for human consumption
indulged in the patriotic pleasure of
conducting a farmers meeting for the
purpose of learning what the state's
sgricultural resources consist of, what
the prospects are for a crop this year
and what are the immediate needs
to increase the year's production.
Reports from every part of the state
indicate that the meetings were uni
formly successful, largely attended and
full of enthusiasm.
R. D. Hetzel, director of the Agricul
tural College experiment station at
Corvallis, telegraphed last night that
the farmers had responded with an
earnest will to the call for community
meetings.
Fanners Send In Reports.
In every instance the farmers were
requested to fill out blanks, giving
complete information on the crop, live
stock and farm labor situation, to
gether with the probable needs for the
remainder of the year.
These reports will be compiled by
the Agricultural College sttaff. co-operating
with the Federal Department
of Agriculture, and as rapidly as pos
sible the needs of the individual farm
ers will be supplied.
While Portland, strictly speaking. Is
not an agricultural community, the
citizens had an active part in the
Farmers' Defense programme, as the
activities of the day had been desig
nated by official proclamation of Gov
ernor Wlthycombe.
A few amateur and professional gar
deners paraded the streets with hoes
last night to give visible demonstration
of their active participation In the
movement to increase the food supply.
Followed then a patriptlc rally at
Lincoln High School, at which able
speakers outlined the part that farm
work is going to play in winning the
war.
Incidentally, scores of schoolboys
were obtained t,o sign enlistment
blanks for farm work this Summer.
Captain Shaw Grand Marshal.
Captain .Shaw was grand marshal
of the parade and he rode a spirited
black horse at the head of the column.
The Coast Artillery band played pa
triotic and lively marching airs.
The parade formed at Tenth and
Columbia streets and swung down
Yamhill and thence made ite way to
the Lincoln High School, where the
food preparedness meeting was held.
The announced route of march was not
followed, so that many people were
disappointed in not seeing the parad
ers. Mrs. Helen I. Tomlinson was in
charge of the parade plans.
Miss Anne Shannon Monroe, who had
been active In preparing for yester
day's demonstration, presided at last
night's meeting. She outlined, in a
dramatic report, the vital need of in
tensive agricultural development dur
ing the period of the war.
"Women's Part Is Told.
Mrs. Clara H. Waldo, regent of the
Agricultural College, told of the im
portant part that the women of the
land are to play in winning the war.
She declared that this war will
work a beneficial effect upon the coun
try as it will awaken the people to the
necessity of providing for the welfare
of all the people.
"The top-heavy condition that permits
come of us to be bloated with wealth
while children go to school hungry will
no longer be permitted to exist," she
said.
William D. Wheelwright spoke of the
professional and business men's view
point, and Henry B. Hazard, United
States Immigration Inspector, on the
part that the foreign-born citizen Is
to play.
IDEALS ARE HELD STAKE
(Continued From First Page-)
flees and sufferings that are before
them. We thought the scale of our
Civil War was unprecedented, but in
comparison with the struggle into
which we now have entered, the Civil
"War seerris almost Insignificant In Its
proportions and in its expenditure of
treasure and of blood. And, therefore.
It Is a matter of the greatest import
ance that we should at the outset see
to it that the American Red Cross is
equipped and prepared for the things
that lie before it. It will be our In
strument to do the works of allevia
tion and of mercy which will attend
this struggle. Of course, the scale upon
which it shall act will be greater than
the scale of any other duty that It has
ever attempted to perform.
"It is in ' recognition of that fact
the American Red Cross has Just added
to its organization a small body of men
whom it has chosen to call its war
council. Their first - duty will be to
raise a great fund out of which to
draw the resources for the perform
ance of their duty and I do not believe
that it will be necessary to appeal to
the American people to respond to their
call for funds, because the heart of
this country is in this war, and if the
heart of the country is in the war it's
heart will express itself in the gifts
that will be'poured out for this humane
purpose. ' .
Grievance Is Sot Held.
"I say the Tieart of the country is in
this war because it would not have
gone into it if its heart had not been
prepared for it. It would not have gone
Into it if it had not first believed, that
here was an opportunity to express the
character of the United States. We
have gone in with no special grievance
of our own, because we nave always
said that we were the friends and ser
vants of mankind. We look for no
rrofit. We look for no advantage.
We will accept no advantage out of this
war. We go because we believe that
the very principles upon which the
American republic was founded are now
at stake and must be vindicated. In
fuch a contest, therefore, we shall not
fail, to respond to the call to service
that comes through the instrumentality
of this particular organization.
"And I think it is not inappropriate
to say this: There will be many ex
pressions of the spirit of sympathy and
mercy and philanthropy, and I think
that it is very necessary that we should
not disperse our activities in those
lines too much; that we should keep
constantly in view the desire to have
the utmost concentration and efficiency
of effort, and I hope that most, if not
all, of the philanthropic activities of
this war may be exercised, if not
through the Red, Cross, then through
some already constituted aid experi
enced organization. v
War Not for Amatrani.
"This is no war for amateurs. This
is no war for mere spontaneous Im
pulse. It means grim business on
every side of it, and it Is the mere
counsel of prudence that in our philan
thropy, as well as in our fightir;, we
should act through the Instrumentali
ties already prepared to our hand and
already experienced in the tasks which
are going to be assigned to them.
"There is another thing that is sig
nificant and delightful to my thought
that this beatuiful building should be
dedicated to the women both of the
South and the North. It is a sort of a
landmark of the unity to which the
people have been- brought, so far as
any old question which tore our hearts
in days gone by is concerned; and I
pray God that the outcome of this
struggle may be that every other ele
ment of difference amongst us will be

manufacture of alcohol used in the
manufacture of tobacco was beaten 39
to 37.
There was much discussion of consti
tutionality of the Cummins amendment,
and many Senators complained that the
Senate was undertaken the most im
portant sort of legislation under a lim
ited debate rule. Supporters of the
proposal emphasized strongly the fact
that the Nation and its allies need
every bushel of grain they can find to
carry on the war.
Discussion of the censorship and pro
hibition sections prevented a final vote

optimism. Reports Indicate that most

G. E. PORTER NAMED
Public Service Commission
Appoints Grain Inspector.
FEES SUPPORT SERVICE
J. V. Church, of Hood River, Named
Chief Registrar Principal Of
fice Is to Be In Portland,
With Other Offices.
SALEM. Or.. May 12. (Special.)
C. E. Porter, of Baker, was today
named by the Public Service Commis
sion as chief grraln inspector under the
new grain inspection act which goes
into effect May 21. J. W. Church, of
Hood River, was selected as chief reg
istrar. Each of these officials will be
paid a salary of J1800 per year.
Under the act, the chief grain nl
spector may name chief deputy grain
inspectors for each city which shall
be designated as an Inspection point by
the Commission.
The inspection of grain under the
act is not compulsory, but is made upon
request and upon the payment of proper
fees. Inspection of agricultural prod
ucts is also provided for under the act.
The expenses of administration is paid
out of fees, which are to be fixed by
the commission, but these fees are to be
no greater than 6 cents a ton for sacked
grain, 3 cents a ton for bulk grain and
8 cents a ton for hay to bo charged
against the shipper of the commodity,
the excess to be absorbed by the con
signee or his assignee, these fees to
be the maximum charge for services
performed at places other than the ter
minal warehouses. The regular fees
will be less, probably.
The chief grain inspector, under the
act, must maintain his office at Port
land. Mr. Porter, the new Inspector, is now
connected with the Baker Flouring
Mills, but under the act must sever his
connection with that firm before taking
the new position, as it is expressly pro
vided In the act that no chief inspector,
deputy inspector, sampler, or weigher
shall, during his term of office, be in
terested directly or Indirectly in the
handling, storing shipping, purchasing
or selling of gram, grain products, hay
or other commodities weighed or
sampled.
The act also provides that the In
spector shall have five years' experi
ence, at least, with grain, grain prod
ucts and forage crops of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana. Mr.
Baker has had 15 years' experience In.
the grain business.
Mr. Church, the registrar, has been
calendar clerk of the Senate a number
of terms, and formerly was manager of
the Marlon Hotel In this city, although
his home has been at Hood River for
a number of years.
The act creating the grain Inspection
department and placing it under the
supervision of the Public Service Com
mission appropriates $7600 for the
handling of the work, but it is re
quired that this amount be repaid Into
the general fund from fees collected
for inspections, and thereafter it is the
object of the act to make the inspec
tion department self-supporting.
The law Is largely similar to the
Washington law and was passed for
the purpose of standardizing shipments
of grains and other products.
