THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND; FRIDAY EVENING. MARCH 5, 1915. 5 GRANGE LEADERSHIP IN THE RURAL CREDIT LEGISLATION URGED J. J; Johnson, Master of Eve - rang Star Grange, to Sug gest Plan at Meeting. -FIELD DAY IS DISCUSSED BBflta to B Derived Trom tb , anal Tlld Bay JLr rotn.UA Out J. J. Johnson, master of Evening Star grange and master-elect of the Multnomah County Pomona grange, in a communication to the quarterly meet iing of the 'Masters and Lecturers' as sociation of the county granges at Fairview grange hall, tomorrow will suggest for the consideration of the meeting the grange's taking the leader ship In encouraging rural credits leg islation. He will also submit for dis cussion a plan to revive enthusiasm in Pomona grange meetings and grange ritual and the idea of .an annual field . day for the en tertaln merit "and Instruc tion of the grangers and farmers of the county. : "I consider rural credits one of the most important problems before . the people today," Mr. Johnson states In his communication. "All prosperity comes from the farm. Today the farmer suffers from the greatest hand icaps he must pay a' high rate of i Interest and cannot secure long-time loans from banks on his security. Savings mm Credit. ' "The deposits of thei postal savings banks should be used to establish a rural credit system, and if a greater amount of money is needed the, amount individuals may deposit in the postal banks could be increased. If we can not secure a national rural credit sys them, perhaps . the state can handle rural .credits." Mr. Johnson's suggestion -of the es tablishment of a field day, suggested first by him In. a report to Evening Star grange, is that for several days In midsummer the grangers of the . county and other farmers meet for sev eral days In some central location for entertainment ana . practical instruc tion by speakers which such a gather ing could afford to bring from a dis tance. The annual field i day would result, It is believed, In an awakening of .the grangers, the bettering of rural conditions and the securing ot unity of action and sentiment among the farmers of the county:, Bite' Is Suggested. The Gre8ham fair grounds has been suggested as the site of the field day exercises! Another place suggested is the open f ields near the Base Line road at the end of the Mount Tabor car line. " . Mr. Johnson's suggestion for the pro prams Of Pomona grange sessions, for which he "invites suggestions and cri ticisms, are prompted by the lessened lntrst In Pamona sessions nvldpnf in the last few years and the Tact that the pr grams and sen timent of the gatherings are drift ing away from the .old style Pomona sessions. It Is hoped to re vive enthusiasm in the grange ritual. The Pomona session plan, suggested is as follows: Routine business, such as reports from ' subordinate granges, should be disposed of in the morning session, starting at 10:30 o'clock, and as many resolutions as possible should be Introduced in the morning to give committees opportunity to act on them in the 12-1:30 intermission. Action on resolution and discussion of important current - questions and practical matters concerning farmers welfare should come in the afternoon session,, as well as a few brief enter tainment numbers for relaxation, 1 - ' , Kituaiartto Work. : : i An hour should be devoted to ritu alistic work, especially with reference to giving 'instruction,' to subordinate granges, and the grange entertaining the Pomona session should be encour aged to put on . work in one degree daring this hour. Anonymous sug gestions put in a question .box should be discussed during this hour. The grange hall should be prepared for fifth degree work during the intermis sion, which should start at 6 o'clock, especially in the winter. I Work in the fifth, or Pomona degree, should start at 7 o'clock in the eve ning session,- : to be followed by an hour or an hour and a half's enter tainment program, which the local grange sLould be encouraged to pre pare. Prospective members and their families should be invited to partici pate in this program. I County Deputy T. J. Kreuder will attend Saturday's session of the asso ciation, composed of the masters and lecturers of the 10 granges oj the county. The proposed bond issue for hardsurfacing ; the Columbia Highway and main trunk roads of the county may be discussed. 1 Keservations Should Be Made at Once Chamber of Commerce Urges These Expecting to Oo on navel Excursion to Make Arrangements Vow.

Pappas & Abol advertised their business for sale. Henry AbeU a well dressed, fair spoken young man with naught of the swindler In his appear ance, was one of the several persons who answered the advertisement. Learning the price, he said that It was satisfactory, and commented pleasantly on the similarity In names.

But he needed a. dollar for. a legal paper, Pappas, gave him the dollar.- In a few minutes Abel came back, and said that it would take S5 more to get all the documents drawn up. Pappas passed over the five. 1 . Abol considers that Abel Imposed on his partner. . "As soon as I get back,",. he said. yesterday, "Pappas, he tell me what has happened. At once I say. 'If his money has' com and is in the bank, why should he need $6?'" : Abol believes that Abel has gone t Spokane, ana he hopes that his and Pappas experience will be a warning to all cigar and confectionery store keepers who may wish to sell out. 1 Open Meeting Held.
