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.

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.

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.
