In our state we have a huge pow er project with which we are all fa miliar Bonneville dam. The waters of the Columbia come flowing down their channel toward the sea, un harnessed, carefree. Then suddenly they meet this huge barrier, built by man. They are halted in their race, and released again only as man di rects. Rains and melted snows may give the Columbia the force of a giant or days of dry, weather may sap its strength but through Bon neville's spillways flow even streams of water, released at man's direction from the mighty reservoir stretch ing miles upstream. We have long known how to con trol our streams and rivers through use of such reservoirs, making wa ters work for us the year 'round with tireless efficiency. It is unfortunate that we who make our living from griculture have not always secured similar balance in some of the other changing forces which affect our daily lives. Crops which we grow are like the waters of the river sometimes more than can be used, sometimes less. Until now we have disregarded the need for an agricultural reservoir which would smooth out the flow of farm products just as the Bonne- EVER-NORMAL GRANARY' SAID SIMILAR N FUNCTION TO BONNEVILLE LAKE ville reservoir smooths out the flow of the Columbia. Now we have such a reservoir. We call it the "ever-normal granary." Applied to the nation's wheat crop, the ever-normal granary smooths out the flow of wheat from farm to market, eliminating both floods of wheat from bumper years and scar city of wheat during lean years. Under the AAA ever-normal gran ary plan, surplus wheat is removed from the market and held against the day when there will be a de mand for it, just as flood water is held behind the dam against the day of drought when needed. In three major ways is this ef fected: First, surplus wheat is stored in the bin on the farm, in the elevator, or in the terminal market, and gov ernment loans give farmers imme diate cash income so that they need not sell on overloaded markets. Second, crop insurance policies guarantee farmers wheat each year regardless of possible crop failures. Third, through acreage allotments, land not needed for growing wheat is taken out of production and . its fertility saved for future use in stead of being wasted by growing a surplus. rine guards for Battleships, Heavy Cruisers, and Airplane Carriers of the U. S. Fleet; Foreign shore sta tions; and the various posts and sta tions throughout the United States.

Applicants may obtain desired in formation from their local postmas ters or by writing direct to the 2te- cruiting Office, 208 .U. S. Court House, Portland, Oregon. Mrs. J. V. Crawford, Dick and Jim, returned home Sunday eve ning from a week's visit at the Joseph Belanger home in Moro, Mr. Crawford driving over after them Saturday evening. BPW COMPLETES YEAR'S ACTIVITIES Election, Convention Reports Feature Final Meeting; Move Against Women Working Told Heppner Business and Profession al Womens club under the leader ship of Rose Leibbrand completed its year of club activities with a pot luck dinner at the home of Mrs, Elizabeth Dix on Monday, May 22. There were eleven members and two visitors present. The members Clara Beamer, Maude King, Lorena Jones, Mary Lou White, Neva Neill, Ealor Huseon, Lulu Hager, Eliza beth Dix, Rose Leibbrand, Leta Humphreys, Lucy Rodgers. Visit ors: Miss Cornelia Nordstrom and Mrs. Noble. Elizabeth Dix, Clara Beamer and Rose Leibbrand attended the state convention of Business and Profes sional Women at Corvallis the first week in May and brought home very interesting reports. Clara Beamer, who was one of the legislative chair men, gave an excellent resume of the work of that department. Mrs. Rose Cunningham, national vice president, was the leader of the leg islative discussion group and she brought to the attention of the club women that there is a great under current of discrimination against women working. This is evidenced by the fact that no less than 18 states this year presented bills in their legislative assemblies that were discriminatory against women. The state of Alabama passed a law which prohibits a married woman to be gainfully employed. A bill presented to the Utah legislature provided that if the family income amounted to $850 or more per year no woman of that family would be permitted to work for salary or wages. A bill was introduced in another state that had it been passed would not have permitted any woman , in that state to own property or a business. In several of these 18 states there were measures brought before the legis latures that would have deprived girls and women of secondary and higher education. Fortunately most of the legislation failed but women need to be on their guard and pro tect themselves and their rights against such vicious legislation. Mrs. Beamer stated that all BPW mem bers should see to it that candidates for public office are sounded out with respect to their attitudes to- pward women who work, and that all women make use of their rights of franchise. The whole convention centered around the problems of legislation. Rose Leibbrand, because she was a candidate for state chairmanship of International Relations, attended the discussion group for that de partment. This group discussed the present neutrality act of our nation and the amendments to thi3 act that are before congress at present. Miss Leibbrand stated that the group recommended that the old neutral ity act be scrapped and a new one drafted that would cope with the present neutrality problems and that our congressmen be informed as to the desires of our organiza tion. Miss Leibbrand received the election of state international rela tions chairman. Elizabeth Dix had the pleasure of sitting at the president's table at the banquet. She reported the music contest as being excellent with Mc Minnville club taking first place and Hood River second. Bruce Bax ter was the speaker at the Emblem breakfast and used as his theme, "Know God." He stated there is a fpod deal of difference between knowing about God and in actually knowing God. After these delightful and most interesting reports the chief business of the evening was the election of officers for the coming year. The report of Mrs. Ealor Huston, chair man of the nominating committee, was that our present officers had been so efficient and so satisfactory that their names be placed in nom ination for re-election. The report was unanimously adopted and the officers for the coming year are: Rose Leibbrand, president; Mary Lou White, vice president; Lorena Jones, secretary; Neva Neill, treas urer. The committee chairmen will be announced in the near future. The members are looking forward to the coming year and are eager to give of their time and talents to ward carrying out the ideals and purposes of the Business and Pro fessional Womens club.
