J Spillman, in which he brought seri.
GUS charges against Secretary of Ag-
riculture Houston, was read and dis
cussed, after which the following
resolution, offered by j. Nj. Reid Of
Pullman, was adopted:
Whereas, From press reports that
seem true and reliable, the Secre-
tary of Agriculture (Mr. Houston)
has traduced the work done by the
Office of Farm Management by con
cealing and otherwise impunging the
reports from said office in relation
to the cost of producing wheat, which
report had been authorized to be
made and asked for by the President
and Federal Trade Commission, in
order to be able to set a price that
would be just to both producer and
consumer. and
Whereas, There seems to be a
higher power than the u. S. govern
ment over the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, in the person of the Rockefel-
Ter General Education Board and al
so over many of the educational in
sttutions OF the Northwest with sin
lister motives, to mold public opinion
for the benefit of the few at the ex-
pense of the many. which is autoc-
racy and hypocrisy, against true and
loyal democracy; therefore be it
Resolved, That we. the Whitman
County Farmers Union, now in ses-
sion in Garfield this goth day OF
February, 1919, most earnestly re-
quest thorough investigation by
congress to determine the facts in
the above allegations, to deal with
them as good, loyal government of
ficials should with vice, dsloyalty
and malfeasance in office, and to see
that the Rockefeller General Educa-
tional Board or any other combina-
ton keep their hands off the govern
ance of food product prices, and that
this resolution be forwarded to our
members of congress.

The new quarters of the are well
adapted to the uses outlined by the
War Work Committee. who drew up
the plans. The atmosphere is decid-
eddy homelike and coZy. The lower
floor contains the general lounging
rooms, billiard hall, parlor and read
ing room. In the latter room are
current periodicals and newspapers
as we'll as bound volumes ranging
from encyclopedias to the works OF
Robert Louis Stevenson.
The parlor makes a strong bid for
popularity by merit of it's cozy fire
place, comfortable chairs, checker
tables and Victrola.
The auditorium is another inter
esting feature of the new Y quarters.
Lectures, moving pictures and con-
certs are among the entertainments
planned to be given here.
The rooms on the second floor are
to be used as offices for the cadet
major, cadet officers, boys club and
alumni. Several interesting war ex-
hibits were arranged in the various
rooms. Much attention was centered
on a somewhat distorted shell, re-
puted to be the shot which a well
known faculty member just escaped
after ignoring the command of a
guard In S. A. T. G. days.
After completing a tour of inspec-
ton, the visitors assembled to en-
JOY a program arranged by the
church societies. Secretary Hauser
concluded the program with brief
address. While his plans are not
complete, he aims to make the new
Y of as much service as possible to
the students. The reading rooms,
| billiard tables, ETC., are ready for use
now. Any campus committees may
use rooms for meetings by applying
to the secretary. No definite prom
ses as yet can be made to towns
people. However, though built pri-
marily for the college men, the new
Y will be of benefit to the whole COM
munity when the plans of the COM
mittee in charge assume a more con-
crete form.
