EFFORT TO FORCE
MEASURE
Adsnnistration Forces Gather
Strength for Final Test
Saturday
Washington, April 12. An effort will
be made to force the Overman empower
ing bill through the senate today or
Saturday. It will meet angry opposition
and may fail.
Immediate need for granting the pre
sident powers of reorganization so that
America may get ready more quickly
to put forth the nine tenths of her pow
er which Lloyd-Gcorge said this nation
is not yet ready to exert, is the argu
ment being used in an effort to shut
off debate and prevent amendment of
the bill.
Administration forces have gained
some strength in the past week with
regard to passing the bill without much
amendment. Upon one point the ex
empting of the interstate commerce com
mission, the farm loan board and the
federal reserve board from the bill the
opi osition is adamant and probably will
be successful.
In the house today an effort began
to amend the war insurance bill to limit
the compensation of lawyers who aid in
in collecting insurance from the gov
ernment.
he increasing casualty lists, house
.members learned, have provided a rich
field for profiteering lawyers. Under a
section of the law intended to protect
attorneys for" legitimate interests in dis
puted cases, they can collect as a fee up
to 10 per cent of the amount 01 insur
ance paid by the government to the
relatives of a soldier or sailor.
The proposed amendment would cut
the fee to $3 for each case, where a
lawyer simply aids in collection. In case
of serious disagreement between - the
.enaficiary and the government if the
matter goes to court, the court is to fix
attorney fees.
Adair Lockwosd at

Adair Lockwood, who is in the navy
radio school at Mare Island, writes
John E. Adams, in charge of the navy
recruiting station here, news regard
ing his work in part as follows:
"I am now on my 32d week in
school and go up for examination in
about a month. I am getting along all
right.
"Thev have issued ua our identifica
tion taps. Thev are about the size and
shape of a key ring tag. It has on it

and you have to have about four dif
ferent passes to get out. These are a

pass and a yard craft pas
"The government is making the sa
loons in Vallejo go out of business. I
expect we will get liberty to go thera
if the saloons are eloeed.
"We are now on a summer schedule
which means to rise and shine at five
minutes beflore six o'clock in the morn
ing. We now have a laundry on Mare
Island and we are charged 50 cents a
month whether we send any laundry
or not. No one ft now allowed to wash
his own clothes. You can't get off the

Agricultural and Rural Life Week
for J.Iarioa County, April 22-26, 1918
The week beginning Monday, April 22 has been, designated, as Agricultural
and Buret Life Week for Marion Connty, and a program for all schools has
been prepared by W. M. Smith, connty school superintendent.
The plan as outlined by Snperinten dent Smith includes special study and
writings on farm subjects such as will b e of practical benefit. A Rural Life
day program has been assigned for Friday afternoon, April 26, when the best
compositions will be read and there w ill be a special exhibit.
The program for the week is as fol lows:
SUGGESTIVE PLAN OF ORGANIZATION
A sucessful Agricultural Week can be had in a one-teacher
eight-grad school, but to divide the work into eight divisions
would make the time for each so short that the result would not
be satisfactory. The following plan of organization . has been
found usable : .
Organize the school into three divisions: Primary, grades one, two and
three; intermediate: grades four and five; Advanced: grades six, seven and
eight. This will vary in different schools according to the ability and the
enrollment in the different grades. Where there is no fourth grade, for ex
ample, the fifth and sixth might be placed in the Intermediate.
Arrange the days1 work in four main divisions: 9-10:30 Opening Exer
cises and Reading; 10:45-12 Arithmetic and Writing; 1-2:30 Spelling and Lan
guage: ":4i"-4 Music, Art and Experimet-ts.
It is suggested that a part of the work of the Advanced div
ision be divided between the boys and girls to meet their dif
ferent interests, the boys studying the farm and the girls the
farm home. The work in Reading and Arithmetic is arranged
after this plan.
It will appear from this plan that the work of the two morn
ing periods and of the last period of the day are learning per
iods for the pupil, the third period is the time for him to express
the things he has learned, to show his reaction to the opportun
ities that have been presented, to pass his judgments on his ob
servations. During this expression period the pupil will discover
for himself the things he knows and the things he does not know.
Remember that eeveral assignments will need to be made
Friday before Agriculture Week
from one to three days ahead of
program. It will be well for the
nouncements to make to the children each evening before dismiss
al, beginning Friday, April 19.

According to the best figures ob
tained at the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Go's office, the housekeeper
who gets up after daylight will save
about one hour's light. But the trou
ble here comes in the fact that the
saving will be on the end of the rate
where it coet-9 the least.
That is, the cottt for the first 13
kilowatt hours is 1. For the next sev
en kilowatt hours, seven cents an hour
and for the following 50 kilowatt
hours, three cents an hour. What the
housekeeper saves will of course eomo
under the last amount used, at three
cents per kilowatt hour. Hence there
will be no radical saving in the months
bill, and if there is a tendency to be
lese economical, the bill for May 1
will show but little difference from
that of one year ago.
Business houses with the flat rate
for signs, will of eourse just pay as
usual- Stores whose righting for the
interior is on a meter rate will find
some reduction in the monthly bill and
then there is the saving of one hour of
light Saturday evening.
But taking into eonnaerauon tua
the kilowatte saved will be at the rate
of three tents an hour, there will be
no radical difference in the light bill
while the day light law is in effect,
which is up to the last Sunday in Oc
tober. CAPTAIN DISMISSED

RURAL LIFE DAY PROGRAM.
ft Is hoped that each school will have a Rural Life Day program Friday .
afternoon or evening, April 26. This will furnish a very strong motive for
good work during the week and will be an ideal opportunity to bring the
school and home a step closer together. In planning the program it is strong
ly urged that the upper grade pupils tuke charge of the program and announce
the different numbers as they are to be given. The first part of every pro
gram should be an explanation of the week's work by the teacher and the last
part should be a few two-minute opinions of the work by school directors and
other interested people. It will bo advisable to have the memory selections of
tho week given in concert by the whole class.
The following program may be suggestive: . I ,.' j
Our teacher will tell us some of the things we did this week.
One or two songs. Patriotic, agricultural or school songs. -
The Country Boy's Creed. Intermediate class.
The Farmer's Creed. (Written on board). Read by Advanced class; then
taught by one of the Advanced pupils to audience. Have audience repeat.

"America." Everybody sing all stanzas without books.
"GO HOME HAPPY."
EXHIBIT PROGRAM. '
It wi'l add to the interest of the program to have as much of the material
as possible where it can be seen. Any of the following would be interesting
to the patrons:
Pchool Ground Plans, Farm Diagrams, Farm Home Diagrams.
Faim Survey Charts, Farm Problems Charts.
Model Farm Sand Table.
Primary Flower Exhibit, Art Work of Week, Oregon or Marion County
Booklets.
Experiments and collection of Soils.

SOURCES OF MATERIAL.
This week is intended to be sn opportunity to study nature, the business
of the farm end life in the country. Do not be content to study ABOUT Isaturo
and the farm, but study the actual things as they are in your community. To
bo sure, bocks will be your great aid anl it is urged that you write the Stato
Library at once asking for very specific help on just the things that will bo
of greatest interest to your school. Give age of pupils who are to use the ma
terial and the dtfinite information you wish to provide for them. Tho State
Library is always at tho service of he schools, but for this particular venturo
Miss Marvin has made special effort to provide something for everyone who
applies. Every school, of course, will use all available College or Department
of Agriculture Bulletins; farm papers and magazines; and all suitable mater
ial in its own library.
Agriculture Week will be most successful in those districts where the re
sources of the whole community are brought into the service of the school.
There is some man in the district who is a breeder of pure bred stock. He can
teach a wonderful lesson on eiicep, hogs or cows to the teacher as well as to
the pupils. ' There is some man who knows loganberries, prunes, onioss, pota
toes, flax or something else which is of especial interest to your community.
Any creamery man will be delighted with the opportunity to teach your boys
the Babcock test. Who makes a profit on chickens in your district? What
woman has become a great food conservationist! Is there some old man who
is a master gardener and a favorite with the boys? Can you use a state Club
Leader one dayt Make everybody and everything teachers in the school during
Agriculture Week.
READING.
In the program outline several different sources and suggeftions are given
for reading material. Each day's work as outlined for the different divisions
will perhaps suggest enongh for the whole week. Remember that one line of
thought carried through the week itu each division will make the work much
more effective than a change of subject each day. A little well taught is that
much achieved; a great deal half taught is so much time wasted.
The Republic's Emblem.
The rose may bloom fer England,
The lily for France unfold;
Ireland may honor the Shamrock,
Scotland her thistle bold;
But the shield of the great Republic,
The glory of the West,
Shall bear a stalk of tasslcd corn,
Of all our wealth is best.
