COLUMBIA NEWS NOTES The Hermiston National Farm Loan Association was organized Wednesday night at a meeting in the Hermiston Library called for this purpose. Forty farmers were pres ent at the meeting which was in charge of F. B. Swayze as tempo ary chairman and J. W. Campbell as tem porary secretary. A canvass showed that 19 of the farmers present will be eligible for a loan upon their land from the Federal Farm Loan Bank as soon as the present liens upon al! project lands are released. These men were thus allowed to participate in the organization. Six directors were elected to serve until the first Tuesday in January which is the date of the annual elec tion as provided by the by-laws which are uniform for all branch Farm Loan Associations. These di rectors are, E. P. Dodd, C. F. Ames, J. H. Reid, H. L. Payne, A. D. Cros sland and J. W. Campbell. The first meeting of the board will be held at the Library Tuesday evening, March 14th. At this time the president and vice-president of the board will be chosen as well as the secretary treasurer. The loan committee of the three men or board appraisers will also be elected at this time. After March 14th, applications will be received from those who are eligible for loans. It is desired that as many applications as possible be made ready that they may all go In under one date and at the same time. It is probable that the present gov ernment liens will be cancelled with- in 60 days and figuring upon this basis the directors of the local Farm Loan Association, are so planning that appraisal of lands in this lo cality come as soon after release as possible. i - / ‘s , Jtir atas oles * zowr arar Oec’y o ce Navy IRRIGON NEWS ITEMS SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE The members of the Monday bridge club and a number of invited guests were entertained at the hems of Mrs. E.

(Continued on page eight) (Continued on page eight) Society Events The boys and girls’ basket ball teams of the local high school closed their season with an enjoyable week end trip to Ione and Heppner. They were royally entertained at both places and enjoyed meeting with the young people of the high schools. The members of the high school who stayed at home had ‘something do ing’ and met at the home of Miss Phyliss Dyer Friday evening, spend ing a jolly evening at music, games and dancing, after which dainty re freshments were served by the hos tess. On Saturday evening Miss Ida Rhodes entertained the members of the freshman class with a taffy pull at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Rhodes. Blistered palms, sticky fingers and burnt tongues did not detract from the hilarity of the evening. pansy FATHER AND SON BANQUET PROVES WONDERFUL SUCCESS Spring appears to be with us. The weather is springlike and spring ac tivities are to be seen around us. Everybody happy and living in high hopes of a prosperous season. Trees have been sprayed and the fruit prospects are very good. Shade trees are being planted everywhere and our neighboring towns and com munities have made almost daily trips to Irrigon for small trees, some with wagons, others with autos and even auto trucks. We certainly take pleasure inviting people on the pro ject to come and supply their wants in this line. Our nurseries have abundance of shade trees. This work, continuing as it Is, it will only be a question of a few years, with the ferry near Irrigon an almost as sured fact, cross Columbia traffic coming through here and electric power from the Umatilla Rapids for the project and entire Columbia river basin, the district will be a paradise not only of the Pacific Northwest but second to none in the whole United States. W. M. Castle, ditch overseer, U. S. R. 8., who was slightly injured a few months ago by falling off the roof of the government warehouse, is again able to be on the job and we all rejoice knowing he is to be on the works again this season. H. C. Wolfe, superintendent in charge of the Reclamation Service, Irrigon district, has rented his place to C. W. Benefici and Sons for the season. They are going to work in connection with John Beavert and use their buckrake and other ma chinery, exchanging labor, etc. Mr. Wolfe wishes to devote his spart time this year In making improve- ments on his newly purchased town properties. A. B. Chaney and Sons, have mov ed out on their ranch, having com pleted a new house on the place. They lost too much time getting back and forth from town. The local lodge of Neighbors of Woodcraft circle 610 have announc ed a big 500 party in Wadsworth hall on St. Patrick’s evening. Tables will be arranged for 48 and prizes will be awarded to the best scores. Invitations will be mailed this week and the affair promises to surpass anything this season. Henry Starr of The Dalles was an Irrigon visitor a few days ago and looked over several tracts of land and expects to close a deal on one later. Mr. Starr has been here be fore and once here, like many others, never gets rid of the Irrigon fever and is bound to settle here soon. Mrs. D. T. Timmerman came up from Portland Sunday and returned Monday to look over the Beckley place which they are about to buy. Mr. and Mrs. H. Strampher are guests at the Glasgow home. They are old time friends of Mr. and Mrs. Glasgow and arrived from Lommon, S. D. Thursday morning. They sold out in Dakota and are now viewing the country in Irrigon for suitable farm, either to rent or buy. B. J. Grim, brother of Thurston Grim, came up from Aurora last week and made the Grims a surprise Of The Week Mr. Harding’s Selections for His Cabinet No. 26 One of the most successful com munity enterprises ever staged in our little city was the Father and Son banquet held In the Auditorium last night. The affair was given under the auspices of the ladies of the Hermiston Community Club and was their first official community service, which proved the splendid organization of this new body of en terprising women. The walls and tables of the banquet hall were ar tistically decorated with spring fol iage, pussy willows and St. Patrick favors. A delicious two course noodle dinner was served at seven o'clock to a hundred fifty apprecia tive boys and daddies who knew how to do justice to a good meal. An interesting program had been ar ranged by the committee appointed by the Commercial club, and consist ed of a baritone solo by Vernon Waterman and a cornet solo by Henry Sheiladay with Otto G. Sap per at the piano and both of the young musicians were forced to re spond to encores. A. C. Voelker, the chairman of the evening then intro duced Herbert Hall who in a few well chosen sentences told what boys expect of their daddies. W. J. War ner, who hasn't forgotten his boy hood days, then gave some splendid advice to the fathers of sons. Rev. G. L. Clark of Pendleton, the speaker of the evening was then introduced and gave a delightfully interesting and appealing address on "Comrad- ship," in which he emphasized the privileges and responsibilities of a father and the unbounded opportun ities of the men of today to make of their boys such men of tomorrow as is the inalienable heritage of try. American boy. The high school orchestra then rendered several pleasing selections after which Mr. Thomas Campbell, the chairman of the local committee for the Chinese Relief drive, an nounced that the quota for this com munity Is $600. Mr. Campbell re quested Mr. Clark to speak of the needs of this drive and he responded with an eloquent and touching ap peal for the famine stricken victims. The entire company joined in sing ing America, after which the men were given an opportunity to sub scribe for the relief fund. With this the banquet closed and on every side were heard expressions of apprecia tion from the boys for a most de lightful evening with their daddies, and a hearty wish that this be made an annual affair. Bee Keepers Convention The Oregon State Bec Keepers As sociation will hold a convention in Portland on March 16 and 17. A large program has been prepared and those who can attend from this section will learn a great deal that will be of interest to them in the keeping of bees.

This will be the biggest affair of the season for the married folks and a record crowd is expected.
