the principal addresses were made by
G, {. Chapman, president of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce and
l.. G. Grow, state president of the
Farmers Union. Mr.. Chapman dis
cussed the Relation of Chambers of
Commerce to Rural Communities
and urged a closer cooperation be-
tween the city and country people,
taking the position that it was very
important for the business men of a
city to take an active interest in the
development of the country tributary
to it.
President Crow discussed the aims
and work of the Farmers Union and
dNelt upon the necessity of co-opera-
ton and organization among the
tanners.
Farm Finance"
The afternoon session was presid-
ed over by j. l.. Dumas. The first
speaker was Ex-Governor Hay, who
read a carefully prepared paper on
Farm Finance in which he dis
cussed the banking needs OF the
farmers and gave a summary of the
cooperative banking system in the

Rev. Chas. McCaughey of Spokane

building in every small city.
Community Center'
Miss Josephine Preston, state
superintendent of schools, took for
her subject the Community Center"
and made a strong plea for more So
cial life in the rural districts. The
Keynote of her address was the neces-
s.ty of developing a Get Together
spirit among the farmers. She took
the position that they were willing
t. pay for good schools and for bet
ter social advantages, if they only
knew how to get them and stressed
the importance of developing honest
and patriotic leaders in each COM
munity. She gave an interesting ac-
count of some of the problems which
she had to face when superintendent
OF schools of Walla Walla county.
One of the most difficult was the re-
Egious jealousy existing in COM
munities. When she sent a teacher
who belonged to the Methodist
church into a district the Methodists
were pleased, but the members of
other denominations residing in the
district were displeased and vice
versa She spoke of the lack of soci al
life as one of the chief causes which
is drawing the boys and girls away
from the farm and urged the deyel-
opment of the community center as
the most effective means of increas-
ing the social advantages in rural dis
tricts.
Her address aroused much interest
and a number of speakers participant
ed in the discussion which followed.
In the evening Professor ]. f.

The Mexican situation assumed

a significant fact that the troops

In the official announcement
made by General Leonard Wood.

those now there. There is no
doubt however, that, if condi-
ions warrant, all available

A shift of troops at this time is re
