Chicago (Special) = Not since the
"shepherds watched their focks by
night" has the world faced such
shortage of wool as now. The mar
kets of Christendom have been swept
clean of every shred and fibre that
was to be bought, and the question
of clothing for the nations, and their
armies Is a question that must have
an answer during the Great Lakes
Wool Convention in Chicago, Sept
11-12, to which the shepherds OF the
great western wool states" have
been invited.
The conyention will be held in the
Assembly Hall at the Union Stock
Yards. The Stock Yards Inn will be
the official headquarters, with loop
headquarters at Hotel Sherman.
In the culture Of wool there awaits
for the nation which shall take up
this line of industry, the historic OPP
oortunity Of riches, asbulletin issued
by the National Sheep & Wool BI-
reau says. Today the world knows
the use and value of wool for cloth
ing. for the weaving of rugs and car
nets. and for the various uses which
this wonderful fibre alone will serve
But when the Duke of Burgundy in
stituted the Order of the Golden
Fleece to encourage the woolen IN
dustry in England. the use of wool
was restricted to comparatively few

garments; weaving was in. its in
fancy. Flemish weavers were the
more skillful, and to offset English
efforts the Hanseatic League was
formed to prevent English wool from
being sold on the continent.
But England's cheap labor and
abundant water power, enabled her
to compete successfully with Flan-
ders in the market, and she imported
Flemish artizans to teach her own
weavers their arts. The woolen trade
became the glory of England, and
brought her untold wealth.
In the resuscitation Of the wool in
dustry today in the United States, as
speakers at the Chicago Convention
will explain, American sheep raisers
have an opportunity to reap a rich
harvest. The days Of cheap wool are
forever past, so far as this genera
tion is concerned, in the opinion OF
agricultural experts, who declare
that the climate of the Great Lakes
States, as we'll as the Western sheep
states" is as favorable to the develop
ment of this industry as that of Eng
land. With the production of wool
reduced to a minimum abroad, Rus
sia alone maintains her flocks, while
South America and Australia are al
ready taxed to their utmost to pro-
vide for their own consumption and
the necessities of the warning aa-
tions, military and civilian.

portance that the young men and wo-
men of high school age be advised to
complete the work of the Public High
Schools and those who can qualify
for collegiate work to resume their
studies in Universities if at all within
their power, for the education of the
young men and women who are to be
the leaders Of tomorrow whether there
be war or peace should be the watch
word of today" Therefore if such
advice be given by those who know
what the future demands most, it be-
hooves each boy or girkof high school
age in this community TO make a big
effort to be- on hand next Monday
morning to sign up for at least four
courses in the Athena High School
and enjoy the things which You will
in later years covet.
The following teachers will compose
the Athena School faculty this year:
Maude Sherman, Primary Department;

FOREST FIRE RACES
IN CENTRAL OREGON

Central Oregon's worst forest fire
of the season is raging in the Fort
Rock section. so miles south of Bend.
Starting on Sunday afternoon at a
point northeast of Fort Rock call ed
the Hole in the Ground the fire has
spread rapidly until it covers terri
tory 10 miles wide by three miles deep
partly within the Deschutes National
Forest and partly on timber Of the Fre-
mont Land Company, one of the Shev-
lin interests.
Fire fighters were sent from Bend
and large portion of the population
of the Fort Rock section is aiding.
Monday afternoon they had succeeded
in completing more than 40 miles of
trench, but still have a large territory
to cover to surround the flames. A
call for assistance has been sent to
Portland.
Although no estimate of the damage
has yet been made, it is known that
the amount will be high as the burned
timber was one of the best stands of
Oregon white pine in that section.

GOVERNMENT WILL
LIST ALL FOODS

The Government is to take stock of
the Nations food supply.
In order that the President, Con-
gress and the other oflic ials of the
Government may be able to base need
ed action on a knowledge of what the
National larder contains and how it
measures up to the needs of the mil
lions of breakfast, dinner and supper
tables of the Nation, the United States
Department of Agriculture will begin
Immediately to make quick survey of
available foods and feeds throughout
the country.
This will cover supplies on the
farms, in factories and commercial
stores and warehouses, in retail shops
and on the shelves and in the bins of
the family pantry. The work will be
carried on principally by the bureau
of markets. the bureau of crop esti-
mates, the bureau Of chemistry and
states relations service of the depart
ment with funds appropriated for the
purpose in the recently enacted food
production bill. The survey is to be
made as of the date August 81 and it
is expected that statistics on the
amounts of certain important produ cts
can be supplied within three or four
weeks after the food survey is begun.
In carrying out the Nation wide food
.
survey, both actual inventories and
estimates will be employed. Estimates
for the food and feed products on
farms will be made for the whole
country by the bureau of crop esti-
mates through $4,000 picked co-opera-
tors in the field. ~
Information regarding stocks in
wholesale, jobbing, storing. manufac-
turing and other commercial establish
ments, including large retail houses,
will be obtained by requesting from
each concern a statement of the exact
amount of each Of the various pro-
ducts held by it. Comprehensive
lists of such establishments compiled
by the bureau of markets within the
last few years will be employed ii
this work.
The stocks on hand in small retail
shops will be estimated from informa
tion gained from detailed survey ot
stocks in number of representati We
districts. Stocks in the hands of al
the consumers Of the country will b.
estimated similarly from canvasses Of
large number Of Representative,
families both in the country and il

the cities. The study of families will
be concerned even more with the cur
rent consumption per month than with
the actual stock of food supplies on
hand. Small retail stocks will be re-
ported for representative cities by the
bureau of chemistry through its food
and drug inspectors and state and
local health officials and inspectors,
and for representative country dis
tricts by the states relations service
through agents and local farm bureaus
and other local agencies, Through
these agencies certain selected dis
tricts will be canvassed and an esti-
mate will then be made for the entire
country.

WHEAT EXPORTED
Be M|LLED FIRST

Substantial reductions in the prices
of livestock and dairy products are
made possible by the latest order of
the Federal food administration to
grind all Northwestern wheat, intend
ed for export. into flour.
Such instructions were received at
Portland from the authorities at WASH
ington, d. c., by both Theodore B.
Wilcox. grain commissioner for the
Pacific Coast, and M. H. Houser, grain
commissioner for the Northwest.
Local authorities agree that the
milling capacity Of the Northwest is
sufficient to handle all the export grain.
in addition to the grain required for
local consumption.
1t will be necessary, however, to
coordinate the milling industry of the
Northwest. SO that the wheat may
move into the plants in the right pro-
portions and SO that railroads equip
ment may be supplied when and where
it is needed. To this end the nation
al committee of railroad managers
will cooperate with the food admins
tration of the country.
The plan to mill the export grain at
home is in accordance with the recon-
mendations of Mr.. Wilcox and other
Pacific Coast millers. w. j. Kerr,
president of the Oregon Agricultural
College; w. B. Aver, Federal food
administrator for Oregon, and other
local authorities are tremendously
pleased with the proposed arrange
ment.
While one of the prime objects of
the Federal officials is TO save cargo
space by reducing the wheat into
-four, the great economic advantage,
so far as the Pacific Northwest is
concerned, is that many tons of highly
nutritious food will be saved for local
livestock and local dairy herds.
Scores of dairymen in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho had been driven
to the point Of killing their cows be-
cause they could not get enough food
at the right prices. The livestock in
dustry, too, had suffered in some
quarters because of the growing scar
city of food. In smaller, but equally
important, way the poultry business
will be affected. The high price o.
feed has been discouraging to chicken
raisers.
Estimates of this years wheat crol
for the three Northwestern state
vary from $4,000, 900 to 80, 600, 00'
bushels, producing an approximate
minimum of 10000, 600 barrels Of
flour and leaving probably $4,000 tons
of bran, shorts and middlings as bJ
products.
Another great advantage in the new
milling arrangement is the saving II
cargo space on transatlantic ship
ments.
On basis of four and one hall
bushels to a barrel it is necessary tt
export 270 pounds of grain to produce
barrel of flour. Of this, 200 pounds
actually goes into -four. while the re
mainder converted into stock food ant
other edible by-products.

School Notes.

Next Monday morning will be the
of the new school year.
Then will be the trying time for
anxious mothers, for Mary and Willie
must all be fixed up in their best
school" clothes, hair combed, shoes
polished. and supplied with books,
paper, pencils, ink that won't spill on
those clean hands and dresses. Soon
they will all be shyin' around to get a
first glimpse of the new teacher or a
chance to welcome back the old teach
er. Such is the order of the first
morning of the opening of school every
where.
Glad we are, indeed, that in these
times Of turbulent warfare we may
see the younger generation pursuing
their intellectual tasks without being
in the least moIested by our strained
circumstances with other nations.
Fathers and mothers must see to it,
too, that each child gets to school at
the opening for it is important to get
an even start with other children in
the run for the years work. Efficient
young men and women is the great
need of our country and if we are to
lead in the democracy that we display
before the world powers, we must look
well toward the education of every
youth Of the land between the ages Of
six years and twenty years.
The result of the school work in the
Athena Public Schools last year was
highly commendable. Men who know a
good school when they visit it, marked
our schools as one of the best in the
County and ranks well with schools of
like size anywhere in the state of Ore
gon. Although there are several
changes made in the faculty, there is
every evidence of maintaining the good
record that we have made in the past,
and it might be forcefully added, with
every indication for real improvement
in different parts of the work.
The school house has been thorough
| ly renovated, floors oiled, steps var.
nished, and desks cleaned and polished,
and the necessary washing and moppine
done to make the school room clean
i, and attractive to all. Happy ought

the opportunity to make use of the
school facilities Of the Athena Schools
