GOOD TRUNK ROADS
NEEDED FOR WAR
USES SAYS BAKER
R. N. StantieId Brings Back
Advice From Washington;
Business Should Not be In
terupted NeedlessIy.

Good road work should be carried
on during the war. particularly when
through roads leading from the coast
to the interior are being built. as such
roads may be of great military value.
Business should be conducted as
usual; the chief need everywhere is
for speeding up of production and
manufacture so as to meet the needs
of the war situation"
The foregoing represents advice
brought back from washington by r.
N. Stanfield, oregon's representative
at the meeting Of the defense coun-
ell few weeks ago
"The advice as to road work was
given BY the secretary OF war after a
query had been made by tn governor
Of Maine, says Mr. Stanfield. "Secre-
tary Baker emphasized the value of
good roads for military purposes and
pointed out the advisability Of such
work as a preparedness step. In the
event of war being brought home to
this country the mobilization Of sol
diers and of the population could be
vastly facilitated through use OF good
trunk roads.
"Admonition against mistaken no
tons of economy was given by .Mr.
Redfield. secretary of commerce. He
explained that the raising of war
revenue calls for normal business ac-
tivity and denounced any efforts TO
cause a slump in legitimate business
and industry

LABOR SHORTAGE
DURING HARVEST
SEEMS CERTAIN

There is a certainty of a labor
shortage during the harvest season
and it will be well for farmers to CO.
operate with their neighbors in max
ing up crews for hay harvesting, says
w. A. Bailey. district agent. who has
been making a study of the situation
in Umatilla county.
Already Mr.. Bailey has received re-
quests for men TO be used at farm
labor and he has taken steps to help
out wherever he could He has post
ed notices in cigar stores and pool
halls telling Of the places where men
are needed.
With no extra labor available now
Mr. Bailey looks for a pronounced
shortage during harvest unless eftec-
tive work is done towards making up
crews in advance
