PATRIOTISM KEYNOTE
AT CHERR|AN Dinner
Sentiment Was Resources
Should Be Conserved !.
No Visits Made

Patriotism was the key note of the
addresses of the Cherrians who spoke
last evening at the dinner served at the
Commercial club. AT the invitation OF
King Bing Lerchen, II Cherrians as
sembled at the club rooms to talk over
plans for the summer and especially as
to what should be done regarding the
usual summer visit.
But when il came to considering the
several invitations, the general feeling
was that since the country is now about
to engage in war, the resources of the
organization should be taken care Of as
there might be calls upon the Cherrians
for patriotic purposes.
Hence, no action was taken on the
many invitations, although many felt
kindly towards the Roseburg cordial in
vitation to attend the Strawberry fes-
tival next May.
Another showing of the proper patrio-
tic spirit was in the matter of drilling.
There was feeling that the Cheuians
had the making of the finest company
in the northwest and that the members
should begin at once on regular weekly
drills. Captain c. J.. Dick, who has so
aceeptably put the boys through their
work. was unable to serve another year.
Joe McAllistcr, secretary of the state
desert land board, who was with Com
pany NJ on the border and who is com
mander of Tia Juana camp, No. ], Mex
lean Border Service veterans, was APP
pointed by King Bing Lerchen as cap
tain. He announced that strictly
military system will be carried out
with the appointment of under officers
and squad leaders who will be respons-
ble for the conduct and attendance of
the men.
Milton L, Meyers said the company
had the making of fine military or
ganization and that if the call came,
would be one of the first organizations
to wheel into line for the country. Mr.
Meyers and G l.. Dick were appointed
by Captain McAllister as his aids, rank
ing as lieutenants
King Bing Lerchen brought up the
subject of jitney dance to raise funds
for the mess of Company NJ and it is
probable dance will be held within a
short time. William Gahlsdorf, Keeper
of the Orchard, reported the Cherrians
had on hand, balance of $1ss.19, the
announcement being received with
1 strenuous applause.

AT WORK TO INCREASE
SPRING WHEAT YIELD
Department Urges Greater
Acreage Of Spring Wheat
to Meet Deficiency

Washington April Hope for i'm
mediate relief from the present high
food prices was shattered today by
the report of the federal bureau of
crop estimates, which showed the win.
ter wheat crop had fallen off fifty
million bushels as compared with last
years production and $4,000, 900
bushels less than the 1915 crop.
"The large decrease in winter wheat
presents serious situation at this
time" said bureau official today,
40 A special effort had been made to in
crease production.
The heaviest falling off occurred in
the central western section, the largest
wheat producing belt in the country
Iowa, one of the leading grain produe'
ing states was % per cent below its
normal production. Nebraska and
Kansas also fell off very heavily.
The states in the south Atlantic
division, including Ohio, Indiana Hi
nois, Michigan and Wisconsin, all
showed slight gains in production. This
is the only section in which the wheat
yield was larger than last year.
To offset the heavy decrease in the
winter wheat crop, the department Of
agriculture today oponed country
wide campaign to increase acreage OF
spring wheat and other foodstuffs.
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary Of
the department, is touring the southern
states, urging upon the farmers the
necessity at this time for a larger
production of foodstuffs.
