Washington, July 6. In order that
the 12,000,000 women engaged in in
dustry may be benefited, the Repub
lican party just before it adjourned
placed upon the statute books a law
providing tor the maintenance of a
permanent women's bureau in the
Department of Labor.
"We appropriate a good deal more
for the hog cholera, the boll weevil
and all such things and it seems to
me we ought to take care of the two
men who are employed," said Senator
Kenyon, chairman of the Labor com
mittee, in explanation of the bill.
"This is a bureau to study the prob
lems of women wage earners. The
Ihought of the women is that this leg
islation will give the bureau a status
and a dignity and a standing which
is in keeping twith their rights and
conditions in the country. Represen
tatives were at the hearings who
claimed that they spoke for 9,000,000
women in this country. The Women's
Voters' League, which has a tremen
dous membership, were represented
and they felt that it would give the
"omen an advantage to have the bu
reau made permanent."
Senator Kenyon twas interrupted by
a declaration that the children's bu
reau had started out with an appro
priation of $25,000 each year and
that it had run up to $400,000 a year.
"Does the Senator think," retorted
Kenyon, "that the work the children
bureau is doing can be estimated in
money? We appropriate a good deal
more for the hog cholera, the boll
weevil and all such things and it
seems to me we ought to take care of
the children.
"The women's bureau will cost
$75,000 a year. In explanation of the
bill let me quote th language of the
bill, which says: 'It shall be the am-
of said bureau to formulate standards
and policies Iwhich shall promote the
welfare of wage-earning women, im
prove their working conditions, in
crease their efficiency, and advance
their opportunities for profitable em
ployment,'
"That is the kernel of the bill
anything they can do to promote the
wefare of wage-earning women. Here
are some of the things they have wor
ked out: The question of seats in
industrial establishments, where
there are thousands of women work
ing; the question of toilets, of sani
tation, of rest rooms, of drinking fa
cilities; guarding against dangerous
machinery; protection against dust;
fire escapes, and hundreds of other
things which center into the welfare
of the wage-earning women.
"This bureau has made studies at
the request of various states, for in
stance, a study on (wages and condi
tions of candy makers in Philadel
phia; also as to the eight hour day in
Federal and State legislation; night
work for women in various factories;
women in ttie Government service,
They made a special investigation
of the wage-earning women In the
factories at Bridgeport, Conn. They
also made a similar investigation at
the request of the State of Virginia
as to the hours and conditions of
work for women in industries in Vir
ginia. That is the geneal line of
work which they have been doing,
They have not had very large appro
priations in the past up to this time;
I think they had only $40,000. The
general purpose of the bill is to help
in all problems that may affect at
least 12,000,000 wage-earning wo-
women in this country and to pro
vide a bureau having in view their
welfare."
TEXAS NOW LEADING OIL RE
RIG STATE WITH DAILY CA
PACITY OF 31B,8D
Texas is the leading oil refining
state and Fort Worth bids fair to be
the oil refining center of Texas. At
the present time Port Arthur is the
leader, but when projected refineries
in Fort Worth are complete this city
will be a contender for the leadership
honors. Fort Worth is the leading
refining city of all inland totwns. At
the present time Fort Worth has only
one refinery with a capacity of 10
000 barrels or better daily and that
is the plant of the Magnolia, yet this
city has a number of refineries with
3,000 barrels and better. But Tex
as is ranking ahead of California
which state has held the leadership
for many years.
By an increase of 104,750 barrels
in the refining capacity of Texas dur
ing 1919, this state became foremoBt
In the refining Industry of the coun
try. With 316,800 barrelB daily cap
acity at the beginning of 1920, Texas
wai ahead of California with 310,
320 barrels, and Oklahoma with 248
910 barrels.
Texas is also far ahead in respect to
refining capacity under construction,
having 141,400 barrels' capacity
building at the beginning of the year,
Its nearest rival being Louisiana, with
only 28,200.
Daily output of crude oil In April,
was 232,000 barrels, compared twltb
a high mark In August, 1919, oi
more than 270,000 barrels dally. To
tal exports of crude and refined oij
from Gulf Coast ports in May were
more than 5,000,000 barrels. The
principal Gulf ports. In order of im
portance are Port Arthur, Beaumont,
Texas City, Bablne Pass and Houston,

eeds were noticeably lacking excep-
mg in one or two fields where the
arming was undeniably poor, and
n effort was made to question as
many farmers as possible in their
methods of handling soil. The far
mers are absolutely ot a unit in the
i'act that you must plow early and
they are almost in equal agreement
u advising to plow deep at least once
a (while. Henry Howell has this
ear plowed 1100 acres 11 inches
deep. They are strongly in favor of
deep plowing. As announced in the
tetter describing the tour the farmers
were keenly interested In discover
ing what methods the farmers of
Sherman county were using to over-
ome weeds and it was found that
they had a very decided system that
had given them splendid results. We
ommend it to the consideration of
farmers in Morrofw county.
As to the question of the time of
seeding the farmers agree that it is
better to wait until about the 15th
day of October unless it rained. If
however, on the 15th of October no
rain was in sight they simply seeded
in the dust. They didn't harrow be
fore seeding unless they had a rain,
they had a rain to sprout weeds.
they harrowed before seeding. If
they sowed in the dust, hofwever.
they were especially caretul that tne
grain did not get in too deep, from
1-2 inch to 1 1-2 is deep enough.
There is very little chance of turkey
wheat getting through the ground if
placed deeper than this a it comes
up in a very slender stalk. After
seeding in the dust there is nothing
more done to the grain until it has
rained and the grain has sprouted
nearly an inch long. After the grain
is sprouted and they have waited long
enough until they are sure that most
ot the weeds are also sprouted then
they immediately get on to the
ground with a light harrow and thor
oughly harrow it, in so doing they
break up the first tendency of the
ground to crust and after this first
wetted dust has been broken up the
granulated surface so formed is not
nearly so likely to crust again. Be
sides this the weeds have been large-
destroyed and the wheat will then
take them. Victor Smith says that
you either grow weeds or wheat, so
sow plenty of wheat. The members
of the committee succeeded in se
curing Victor Smith and Henry How-
ell, two well known farmers of Sher
man county to make the trip across
Gilliam and visit the farm sections
around lone. They were very much
impressed with the fact that Morrow
county farmers are practicing better
summerfalldw methods than their
neighbors in Gilliam county and the
splendid fields of summerfallow ar
ound lone were fairly appreciated
as well as the good fiedls of wheat
which were seen around this section
of the country. They are absolutely
agreed that the soil conditions near
lone are very similar to those around
Wasco and that good tillage twill tell
in the long run. We do not doubt
but the time is near at hand when
the same yields will be received from
the wheat lands around lone that are
being received around Wasco today
When that time comes Morrow coun
ty will yield as mueh wheat per year
as Sherman county does. There are
some splendid fields ot Iwheat around
Morrow county this year and they all
show that good farm practice Is being
followed.
San Francisco, Cal., July 6. "My
heart is ia the grave with our cause,
and I must pause until it comes back
to me," said William J. Bryan in giv
ing his reason for not making any
extended statement on the work of
the democratic national convention.
"My views on the convention's ac
tion In reference to the Indorsement
of prohibition are known," said Mr.
Bryan. "I regard it as a very ser
ious mistake it opened the door to
the nomination of a wet candidate
I need not repeat here what I have
said before In regard to the evasion
of other Issues."
I do not care to say anything
bout congressional plans, but the
question suggests a subject, namely.
the importance of selecting a sen-
te and house that will refuse to in
crease the alcoholic content In per-
tting beverages or any other weak-
ing of the enforcement law." (From
he Portland Oregonlan.)

New Drew Comedy
On the occasion of the display of
the new Paramount-Drew eomeay,
'Once a Mason," starring Mr. and
Mrs. Sidney Drew, before five thou
sand members and friends of Mecca
Temple, the Mother Temple of the
Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles
of the Mystic Shrine, in New York,
recently Cyprian C. Hunt, Illustrious
Potentate, voiced his unqualified in
dorsement of the comedy which, he
said, was "one of the cleanest, most
wholesome and artistic comedies the
Drelws have ever presented to the
film loving public."
Potentate Hunt declared the com
edy was the funniest ever snown
anywhere and that all Masons will
enjoy Its charm and mirthfulness.
To that end he recommended it
heartily to the Daughter Temples for
the Nobles and their ladies. "Once
a Mason" will be displayed at the
Star theater next Sunday and enor
mous business is anticipated by the
management.
HOW TO GET THAT WHEAT
TO MARKET? x
A question that lias been on the mind of more than one
fanner the past few weeks. Seareity of transportation
facilities makes the problem a difficult one exeept that
farmer can buy a good track and save enough on the sea
son's hauling to pay for that truck.
When we say "a good truck" we mean the U. S., one of
the live standard trucks on the market today.

Millionaire Yet Servant.
A certain rich man's daughter saw
her father's valet reading a book.
"Is it interesting?" she asked.
"Quite," he replied, offering her
the volume. "It was given to me by
the best servant in the city."
On the fly leaf she read the inscrip
tion from her father.
"But my father is not a 'servant,' "
she objected.
"We all are servants," answered
the valet. "Your father may be a
millionaire, but he is a servant as
I have said, a good one."
Events testified to the truth. The
millionaire, In a desire to give his
city better service in public utilities,
became mayor. He fwas the instru
ment by which a great strike was
settled. He drew closer capital and
labor by establishing the profit shar
ing system. He made his valet his
chief secretary and aide.
And did the valet marry the rich
man's daughter? He well, see
