Two Very Busy Departments
At Washington are Described

what the department of commerce
mas peen doing these busy months to
neip the nation in the war will never
De 1uily known until the complete
history OF the great conflict is writ
ten. Every branch and bureau of the
department. IS working day and night
wrestling with the great problems of
industry and commerce to which the
war mas given birth. The fuel sup
ply, the transportation tangle, the
shortage in oodstuffs-these are
out lew of the great wartime
problems with which the department.
has been called upon to deal.
What is true of the department of
commerce in this respect applies with
equal force to the department of
labor. The mobilization of Ameri-
can labor for efficient and loyal SER
vice to the United States for the
period of the war is the great task
assigned to the department of labor
Much has already been accomplished
by the department along these lines.
Much more; still remains to be done.
The work of the department. is now
of special interest in view of recent
labor distur Dances. reported in Eng
land, Germany Cand other of the
European countries at war.
The department of labor has for
mulated a comprehensive plan to
help in the solution of the labor and
industrial problems arising. from
the war. The new work to be un-
dertaken includes the creation of the
following agencies, some of which
will be large, comprehensive and ma
tional in character. An adjustment
bureau to deal with industrial, dis
putes; conditions of labor bureau,
to promote sound sentiment and to
provide appropriate local machinery
and policies in Individual plants; a
bureau dealing with wenen in in

transportation of labor; the United
States employment service, already
existent, but in the early stages of
its development; bureau of person

Washington, Feb. 14.-Fifteen
years ago today the department of
commerce and labor the ninth of the
great executive departments of the
government to be established, was
given birth by act of congress.
George B. Cortelyou, of New York,
who had served as private secretary
to President Mckinley and Roosevelt
was the first secretary of the new
department. On his appointment as
Postmaster General Mr.. Cortelyou
was succeeded as secretary OF COM
merce and labor by Victor H. Metcalf,
New York was the head of the de-
partment during the greater part of
the second Roosevelt administration
and Charles Nagel of Missouri, filled
the position in President Taft's cab
met.
When President Wilson first took
office the department of commerce
and labor, by act of congress, was
divided into two separate depart
ments, the department of commerce
and the department of labor Will
liam c. Redfield, of New York, was
appointed and still holds the secre-
taryship of the department of COM
merce. The first to hold the labor
portfolio was William b. Wilson, OF
Pennsylvania, who still remains at
the head of the department.
While the war, the navy and the
treasury departments are naturally
to the fore in these time of war. the
two younger executive departments
are playing a vital part in the great
war drama. They are doing their
Bit" and a most important bit, in
keeping the wheels of commerce
moving at home while the great war
RACES in Europe, in helping to keep
the munitions and other supplies
flowing in a steady stream across
the Atlantic, and at the same time
guarding the interests of the work
ing classes.
The department of commerce and
the department of lS1or touch the
everyday life of the people at many
points, representing as they do the
Federal governments activity in those
fields of business and industry which
seem just now to be of even more
absorbing interest than usual, and
which are likely to be of even greater
Importance after the war is ended

COLD RECEPTION
TO STATE GRANGE
Had TO Adjourn Prematurely Because
Denied Meeting Place in the
City of Walla Walla

Because the State Grange elected
a defender of the non-partisan league
as master and gave representatives
of that organization place on the
| program, some of the people of
| 'Walla Walla objected so vigorously
that the Changers were ousted by the
school board from the school build
ing where they were in session and
were refused the use of any other
suitable meeting place. AS result
the session was obliged to adjourn
without completing its business, and
a resolution which had been present
ed providing that the annual state
meeting of the Grange should be
held at the State College every fifth
or sixth year did not come to a vote.
Port Angeles was selected as the
meeting place for next year Pull
man received number of votes, but
its friends did not press the matter,
intending to concentrate their efforts
on passing the resolution mentioned
above.
A good deal of bad feeling was en-
rendered between the Changers ana
the people of Walla Walla over the
action of the latter. James Emert,
master, and Fred A. Hodges, secre-
tary, of the Whitman Pomona, gave
the following statement to the Walla
Walla Bulletin:
I'VE, as master and secretary oil
Pomona Grange No. 2, wish to an
nounce to the people of Walla Walla
that we were opposed to having the
non-partisan league discussed in the
state Grange, and that We will con-
tinue to work to keep the Grange
free from all political parties"
One of the most highly commend
ed features of the meeting was an ad-
dress delivered by President E. O..
Holland of the State College. He
made a deep impression and all who
heard him were enthusiastic in their
commentator of both the speech
and speaker.

The details remain to be worked ont
but in general the plan will be as
follows:
Enlistment will be purely volun-
tary but all students over the age of
lS will be encouraged to enlist. The
enlistment will constitute the student
a member of the army of the United
States, liable to active duty at the
call of the President. 1t will, how
ever, be the policy of the government
not to call the members of the train
ing units to active duty until they
have reached the age of 81, unless
urgent military necessity compels an
earlier call Students under is and
therefore not legally eligible for en-
listment, will be encouraged to en-

will be made for co-ordinating the

this broader plan
This new policy aims to accom-

large body of young men in the col

necessary and wasteful depletion Of
the colleges through indiscriminate
volunteering, by offering to the stu
dents a definite and immediate mil
itary status.
Later announcement will be
made of the details of the new sys-

collegiate institutions are requested
to call this matter to the attention of
all their students. Those who do not
graduate this spring should be urged
to continue their education and take
advantage of this opportunity to
serve the nation.
Il trust that the policy above
stated will have your support and
cooperation.

WASTED WHEAT BRINGS $500

1t happened in PaWnee county,
Kansas. One day last fall at thresh-
ing time, a farmer asked one of his
neighbors for permission to follow up
the machine. He thought it might
be possible, he said, to clean up and
collect the grain where the thresher
had stood in sufficient quantity to
earn little money
The neighbor smiled, but as he was
in easy circumstances himself and
unaccustomed to a penny-saving pol
icy, he good naturedly and half-pity-
ingly agreed to the proposition.
Threshing started and for three
weeks the man followed the crew.
| He had only one team and a tanning
mill-nobody to help him and many
to laugh at him. He worked so per-
sistently, however, that one evening
the friend came around, curious to
find out what the result had been.
We'll in the three weeks time"
he said, Il averaged exactly $2777
per day for myself and team. | sold
that wheat which would have been
wasted and got $500 for it,"
1t was actual savings like this
which suggested the work Of the
Grain Threshing Division of the Food
Administration Grain corporation.
Hundreds of cases were studied,
showing losses which in II southern
states were estimated at more than
seven and a half million bushels last
year. But the financial loss, though
large, is less important than the loss
of food. Waste of wheat means that
the war will be prolonged and may
even endanger victory.
If you raise wheat, won't you get
in touch with your own County Grain
Threshing committee? They have
| worked to perfect methods for re-
ducng waste of grain during thresh
ing to a minimum. They want to
discourage the threshing of grain
that is tough (unripe or damp, to
avoid irregular and careless feeding
of the bundles into the machine and
to encourage running the cylinders
of the separator up to speed as we'll
as keeping the entire outfit in proper
adjustment.
At the suggestion of the U. S. Food
Administration, they encourage
tight-bottom bundle wagons so as to
reduce the loss because of failure to
rake the shock rows and carelessness
in making a thorough cleanup be-
fore the machine is moved. This
means a saving to you as well as be-
ing help toward victory in the
war. The information costs nothing.
Go today and see your local County
Grain Threshing committee.

.tion in interests of Economy
Asks People TO Give 1t
Consideration
:. ,he Taxpayers and Citizens of
whitman County:


whitman County:
coperintendent of Schools S. F.
..,-t,o has suggested to school
' ,..otors of Whitman county the ad-
..h,litv of maintaining fewer
.hools during the coming school
ss.r. Section 211 of the school code
a,ovides that in case the directors OF
,ohool district fail to MAINTAIN a
..ool for the minimum period the
snorintendent may dissolve the dis
,.,o,. hut the law is not mandatory
"a cunerintendent Shinkle assures
~ neople that he will not exercise
No prerogative in case any board OF
airoctors sees fit to discontinue their
..hool during the coming year.
In city schools one teacher will eff
actively handle as high as As pupils
and in the country districts one
,oocber should be able to handle at
laast 20 or 25 pupils; but many of
our country districts have less than
dozen pupils. This condition
oouses a sheer waste of material
man-poyer, money and fuel. AS it
nav happens many children attend
,obool in districts other than the one
in which they reside and Superin-
tendent Shinkle's suggestion is sim
MY for the directors of district
where the children are few to reach
an agreement with the parents for
having these children attend school
in some other district during the
coming school year.
This suggestion embodies COM
mon sense plan of practical economy,
Even during a period of normal con-
dtions 1t would be wise policy and
when the whole nation is striving to
conserve man-power, money and ma
terial, it appeals to us with especial
= force, because it conserves all three
81 these elements. For each school
thus discontinued a teacher is pro-
yded for some more important
school, seven to twelve hundred dol
lars in actual cash is saved to the tax
payers and several tons of fuel for
more important uses.
/ AS a representative of the Tax
payers association, l urge the people
of Whitman county to give this sug-
gestion of Superintendent Shinkle's
serious and careful consideration to
the end that we may thereby save
man-power, money and fuel at a
/ time when, if ever, we need to save
those things.
