HOUSEWIVES IN
AN ORGANIZATION

Preliminary work of organizing the
country's housewives into a great food
conservation army was started by Her
bert c. Hoover Monday.
Actual registration of the women
will not begin until July !, but Mr..
Hoover is now organizing his staff to
carry out the work. Operation of the
plan will be in the hands of four main
divisions-an advisory council of wo-
men, an advisory council of household
economy. experts. committee on vol
untary service and the women's section
of the Council of National Defense and
state defense councils.
Actual administration will be along
five lines-domestic science instruc-
tion, publicity, supervision Of member
ship development of state relation and
cooperation of organization.
Motion pictures will be usedS Mr..
Hoover announced, to reach food con-
servation measure and the elimination
OF food waste. Voluntary offers of
service have been accepted from the
National Association of the motion pic
ture industry and from its allied organ
izations, the Associated Motion Picture
Advertisers.
Mr.. Hoover announced plans today
for enlisting the aid of the countrys
Summer Schools in teaching household
economies. Through the schools Mr.
Foover expects to reach some 400, 00(
teachers. who will return in the Au
tumn to about $4,000 communities
Later the plan contemplates the teach
ing of food conservation in every pub
lie school in the Nation and in most O
the colleges.
| Registration of women and their o.
| ganization as part of the food admir-
istration, will be done largely by stat
defense councils. A type system fo
state organization will be worked OF
within the next few days. The wor
will be directed by the women's con
mittee of the Council of National Dt
fense and through the conservation SCI
tion of the food administration, whic
has at its head DR.. R. L. Wilbur
president of Leland Stanford Univel
sity.
Organization of trades that deal wit
food distribution will be undertaken 9
soon as the food administration is form
ed.

UNITED STATES PLANS
FOR PLANE SUPREMACY

Full approval has been given by the
War Department to the air supremacy
program of the Defense Councils air
craft board, and President Wilson has
been asked to put the Administration g
support behind the great project for
which an appropriation Of $500, 900, 600
is sought.
Under the plan, the United States
would become great elementary train
ing base Immediately for all the allies,
and enormous numbers of training
machines would be turned out while
American plants are developing SER
viceable battle craft type. By next
spring the board proposes to have the
allies ready literally to drive the Ger
mans from the air.
"The program seems by all means
the most effective way in which to
exert America s force at once in telling
fashion," said Sec. Baker.
"We can train thousands of aviators
and build thousands of machines with
out interfering in the slightest with
the plans for building up our armies
and of supplying the allies with fooo
| and munitions.
"The air craft plan meets the de-
.mands of the situation. According tc
the best obtainable information there
are about 1000, 900 men on the west
ern front today. The addition of few
infantry units. while Of great mora
value, would count for little in forcini
decision. A few thousand traine'
aviators, however, may spell the Who'll
difference between victory and defeat

Flour Price Is Cut.

The -four market was lowered 60
cents barrel Tuesday in Portland to
keep pace with the decline in wheat.
The new quotations on patents is $ll.-
80. Local buying has been very light
for several weeks past. No change was
made in the millers' feed lists. Wheat
went off sharply during the day, bids
at the Merchants Exchange for prompt
delivery being 8 to cents lower than
on Monday. No demand was reported
from any quarter, and if business were
offering, it is question whether wheat
could be found to supply the trade. Re-
ports from Walla Walla are that the
warehouses in that section have been
swept bare. II was necessary to send
out auto trucks and scour that terri
tory in order to get wheat enough t9
make up car load. "

AMENDMENTS TO
FEDERAL RESERVE

Amendments to the Federal reserve
act, designed to strengthen the financial
system of the country by the concen
tration of gold reserves in Federal re-
serve banks and to open wide the doors
of the Federal reserve system to the
state banks and trust companies, were
sent to the President for his signature.
The Senate finally accepted confer
ence report previously approved by the
House.
The first effect of the changes, it is
believed, will be the shifting of more
than $500, 900. 900 in reserves from
the banks of the country to the Federal
reserve banks, where the great store Of
gold will be in a position to achieve its
maximum efficiency. The effect of
this shift, officials believe, will be of
incalculable benefit to the financial
system of the country at this time
when the strain of heavy Withdrawals
from the money markets to meet in
stallments on the liberty loan impends.
Hundreds of large trust companies
and state banks which heretofore re-
mained outside the fold are expected
to come in under the amendments.
These institutions will bring into the
reserve system many hundreds of mil
lions of additional reserves.
With their addition officials believe
that the financial system of the coun-
try will be as nearly impregnable as
human ingenuity can make it.
Accession of trust companies and
state banks will be brought about in
two ways; the institutions may join
the system outright with the privilege
of withdrawing at any time upon q
years notice-a privilege not granted
them by the unamended law--or they
may, by depositing portion Of theil
reserve with Federal Reserve Bank,
become members of the Federal Re-
serve clearance system, the most effec-
tive in the country.
The proportion Of the reserves to be
deposited. in the latter case, has yet to
be determined upon by the Board. 1t
is likely that the minimum will be so
per cent. Officials anticipate land
slide of state banks and trust compan-
les to the system within the next few
weeks. Many Of the largest financial
institutions at the present outside the
system have signifed their intention
of joining upon the passage Of the
amendments.
The Federal Reserve system at pre-
} sent includes in its membership lesf
than 100 state banks and trust conipsn-
. les. The remaining banks, approxi'
. mately 1900 in number, are Nationa
t banks, which automatically became
members upon the passage of the re
t serve laws. Resources of the system
$ approximate si6, 900, 900, 900, or abou
t one half the total banking resources O
q the country. 1t is expected that thi
d figure will be increased, perhaps, a
e much as 80 per cent during the comm
y year.

Funds Raised Early

Surprising even the most optimistic
members of the general committee,
Umatilla County was ready at six o.
clock Monday night to oreport the full
amount of its $50, 600 apportionment
of the Red Cross war fund raised. The
dinner set for the evening in pendle-
ton to speed up the wind-up was turned
into a celebration banquet. 1t was
not expected the COUNT would furnish
its quota before Tuesday night at the
earliest, especially since it invested
more than 5000, 900 " the liberty losr
and raised more than PTS apportionmen
Of the Y. NJ. c. A.. Ssar fund.

GETTING READY
FOR CELEBRATION

The committees having In charge
the arrangements for Athena's Fourth
of July celebration, are gradually
whipping into shape the different fea-
| lures of amusement and entertainment.
| The sports committee have their pro-
gram completed, and liberal prizes are
I offered in each event. Beginning inn
mediately after the ball game, the
races and sports will take place on
Main street.
The entire program of the celebra-
tion, excepting the base ball game
and the races will take place at the
| City Park.
Other committees will be ready to
report the elements of their portion of
the program on next Wednesday night,
and the programs will then be printed
at once.
I The musical part of the program
promises to be one of special excel
lence, the fact that DR.. and Mrs.
Will R. Scott, the Athena Mems Cho-
rus, the ladies' quartet and others,
being on the program insuring splendid
numbers and entertainment. The Wes-
ton Concert Band. an organization Of
25 men will participate in the morning
exercises and in the evening will give
concert at the Park, preceding the
evening program there. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ralph Sailing and the Hawaiian Sex
tette, all of Weston, have consented to
appear on the program in vocal num-
bers.
Miss Maude Sherman is drilling a
bevy of little girls in fancy drills, and
other local talent has graciously con-
scented to do their "bit" toward max
ing the celebration success.
Will M. Peterson, who has legion'
of friends in Athena and vicinity will
deliver the oration.
The fact that both the morning ant
! evening programs are to be rendere'
at the City Park, has made the Athen;
celebration a hit with the country peo
: Pile, who are tired of attending stree
y celebrations and long for shady tree
: and green sward, and genuine oil
, fashioned basket picnic dinner.

ted six runs for the home guards,
enough to win to 4. But they scored
neither before nor afterward. The
rally was sufficient. Pendleton brought

Lefty Shick, who had everything OF
