The designation af the Umatilla
county Ked Cross as the official com-
tlon, Salvation Army, American lied
Cross, City of Pendleton and Die coun
ty Court, marks a step In a state-wide
movement for use of the lied Cross as
tho official agency. In Oregon, Ba

ford, Albany, and In Idaho, Xampa
and Caldwell, the Red Cross has been
designated as the organiy-uion to act
as community council. It co-operates
with other relief agencies with the
county coV't and cily officers and has
demonstrated a great saving in time,
money and service as well us to show
tangible rcsulls of rehabilitation of
families under its care.
The committee which made the dis
cussion for Pendle'on's organizations,
felt that arrangements could be made
to secure a trained s'joial service j

liie themselves this oinsibm.
Some of the veterans, who have
sold early and have held, with
alternating conditions, are a bit
prone to say that It does not.
The example of this year's crop,
to date, strengthens them In this
belief.
"In seven cases out of 10, I be-
lleve selling at harvest time Is
better." one tdoneer In vvhent
growing declared today. "I have
tried both ways and in the long
run the , early gules have netted
more." ,
Another farmer, who in the
Pant five years has sold early
thrice and held twice, is also
converted to the' early selling
idea. "Kven if the price does
rie when one sells early. It may
not mean more than the interest,
storage and other carrying
Charlies for that lime."
' "And the headache it saves," a
third says, "makes early selling
worth something." ,

Lloyd George has threatened "never

General Wilson of Britain and Foch
disagreed on their reports of German

CHICAGO, Jan. 2. (U. P)
Slashes in wages of railway employes

Slates railway board. This follows a
petition presented by President Bugs
of the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railroad, asking that wnses be
reduced "to a level so as to keep the
roads from the bands of the receiver."
Hogg declared his road was losing
1 100.000 per month. He attributed this
; to wage increases umountuig to -,-400,000
annually since 1914. Other
i roads are expected to file similar pro-
i tests soon.
Chairman P.arton of the hoard
i agreed, the case is pressing: and prom
ised an early derision. A canvass o
.tlio railroads showed they r.re curtuil
iing all evpcnws in 19-1 budgets due
