WHEAT IS WANTED
FOR STARVING CHINESE
Two Carloads to Be Shipped From
Seattle April DIR. Spalding
County Chairman

The Whitman county committee
in charge OF the Chinese famine re-
lief drive has just received notice
from the Seattle office asking for
two carloads of wheat to be shipped
from Seattle on April 8. Full de-
tails concerning loading and ship
ment have not yet been received. In
the meantime subscriptions of wheat,
sacked, will be gladly received and
notification will be made later as to
when shipment may be made,
Subscription cards may be had
from DR.. Spalding, chairman of the
county committee, or these cards
may be found at the Herald office
and at the First National and Pull
man State banks.
Two carloads seems small
amount when millions of people are
involved but when we realize that
three cents will feed one person a
day and that IS will carry one man
OF woman over till a crop can be
raised and harvested, we can see the
value of two carloads.
The time is short, for shipment
must be made April or some other
boat provided. Drop postal card
to DR.. Spalding, 305 Ash street, to-
day saying how many sacks you
will donate, giving your name and
address, so that notification of the
time of delivery can be given.

LEGISLATURES INTENT
GAYS President Il. o. Holland in
Dealing with Governors Veto of
Bill Providing Funds for
New Dairy Building

That Governor Hart has miscon-
eention of the intent of the recent
legislature in appropriating $780,
600 for the new dairy building is
Dointed out by President e. o. Hol-
land in the following article concern
ing the governors veto of the bill
which appeared in the forum column
of the SpokesmanReview:
To the Editor of the Spokesman
! Review: I note in The Spokesman
Review Governor Harris statement,
following his veto of the $25O,0O0
appropriation by the legislature for
dairy building and equipment" at
the State College of Washington
There is, we all recognize, an insis-
tent and proper demand on the part
of the taxpayers for the exercise of
all possible economy in the manage
ment of our state, and everyone will
approve of Governor Harris desire to
reduce taxes.
However, I wish to call attention
to the fact that the governor is mis-
taken in thinking that the board of
regents desires $250,000 for a dairy
barn At present the State College
has a very poor dairy barn, which it
will continue to use until the legis-
lature can give it enough money to
erect a modern barn. The specific
appropriation for "a dairy building
and equipment" was for totally diff
ferent purpose. 1t was for the cree
ton of fire-proof brick building to
contain all kinds of creamery equip
ment, so that our students in dairy
husbandry may receive instruction in
dairy manufacture-in the making Of
butter cheese, ice cream, etc. This
building when completed will con-
tain scientific laboratories for the
study of many of the more serious
problems connected with dairy farm
It is also planned to install in this
building several refrigeration rooms,
to be used by the department of ami
nal husbandry, poultry husbandry
and horticulture, in order that these
departments may conduct expert
mental studies in the preservation of
meats and fruits. Every day our ex-
perts have questions put to them by
stock and fruit men and it is our de-
sire to be able to furnish the in
formation needed.
In addition, we must have refriger-
alton for the care of meats and fruits
supplied for our dining rooms, which
furnish meals to nearly 500 students
every day.
Two dairy buildings of this char
acter are to be found on the campus
at the State College of Iowa, though
Iowa can not be considered a dairy
state.

circumstances, but in the end such a

HUGHES AND MELLON

For the moment, at least, two men
in President Harding's cabinet loom
bigger in the public eye than Mr..
Harding himself. ,
They are Secretary Hughes and
Secretary Mellon.
It is quite generally admitted that
these two men are tackling the Big
gest problems now confronting the
American government, and that Presi-
dent Harding has given them both q
very free hand to handle these prob
lens in their own way.
Secretary Melons problem is the
rising of approximately $4,000, 0OO,-
900 during the next 80 months. We
eoualled or exceeded that record dur
ing the war, but the spur of war pa
triotism is lacking now, and we were
comparatively free Of debt then. Mr..
Melons job is one Of refinancing and
of "paying for dead horse" always
a hard and thankless job. Washing:
ton appears to be deeply impressed
with Mr.. Melons capabilities, and the
manner in which he is going about his
task. If he succeeds in it, he will rank
as one of the great treasury secretar.
les in American history.
Secretary Hughes job is the ex.
tremely ticklish one Of working out
foreign policy that will not split the
republican party wide open and that
will nevertheless permit America te
play the part she must play in the
restoration of civilization in Europe
The announcement that this country
will have representative at the meet
ing of the Allied supreme council is
taken by the ";rreconcilables" to NEAR
that Secretary Hughes, aided by Sec
rotary Hoover, has prevailed and vii
mould the foreign policy OF the admin
istration and that it means that TN:
country will eventually play an i'm
portant part in the settlement OF man!
OF the controversies growing out o!
| the war and the Treaty of Versailles
eve refused to go in the front door
but we are slipping in the back door,
is the comment one '"'irreconcilable'
senator IS quoted as making.
On the other hand, it is stated thai
Americans will be present at the con
ference in the capacity of observers
only. '''.
The success or failure of the Hard
ing administration is going to depenee
very largely upon the manner in wnlcf
these two members of his cabinet
meet the problems now confronting
them during the next few months, and
from the little the country has seer
of them there is every reason for con-
fidence in the outcome.-Forum.

"RY THE ETERNAL"

After eight years of such phrases
as s'too proud to fight" and "peace
without victory" it is indeed hearten-
ing to hear a president say 1--WE do
want that which is righteously our
own and, by the Eternal, we will have
it, It has the ring of that famous
demand for the surrender of Fort
Ticonderoga made Of the British COM
nlander in It's by Ethan Allen "'by
order of the Great Jehovah and the
Continental Congress" In formal
state papers and addresses we seldom
get anything more than generalities
and platitudes. It is usually on in
formal occasions that presidents feel
free to reveal themselves and such
was the case the other day when
President Harding was called upon to
speak to the officers and men of the
Atlantic fleet on the deck of the bat
tleship Pennsylvania. Standing I'M
der the muzzles of three 14-inch guns
the President was loudly cheered by
the bluejackets when he said:
"The United States Of Amer
lea does not want anything on
earth which does not belong to it;
it does not want anything that
is not rightfully our own, no ter
ritory, no payments no tribute"
In these simple words he expressed
America as her best, and when he
concluded by saying that we propos-
ed to have what belongs to us and that
"By the Eternal, we will have it," he
served a nroper notice ;on the world
st. Paul dispatch.

WHEN JUSTICE MODS

Some Things we do very badly in a
republic.
-Four years ago a healthy young
prize fighter wriggled out of the draft
by getting himself job in a ship
ward. He was rendered two honor
arv luncheons and three honorary din
ners in Atlantic City last week, was
officially received by the mayor, and
is about to fight 12-round ring bat
tie for the biggest purse ever KNOWN
He is something of national hero.
About the same time young sales
man enlisted, not waiting for the
draft, and went to France. He was
wounded during the Argonne battle,
but with a broken arm captured a
German machine gun, and won the
Medal of Honor. But he is now forced
to appeal to the government to have
his name removed from the official list
of >"slackers" because of mistake by
some petty draft board employee. he
has gone back to work as salesman.
Some four years ago another,
wealthy young man, announced that
he would never submit to the draft:
Climbing into his automobile ne sped
awav from home and eluded. the police
and military authorities for months;
He was finally captured and sentenced
to a term in military prison. But he
told a cock -and-bull story about a bur,
led pot of gold, and actually secured
permission to 60 and dig it up. he
dug for Canada instead, and is now
living comfortably in Germany DEFY
ing the United States, government.
which is muddling around trying to
fix the blame for his escape on some
body, without much success:
About the same time, another young
man enlisted and went to France: IN
a burst of anger he told second lieu
tenant to Ego to the devil" one day!
and was sentenced to term OF many
wears in military prison, only being
hardened after the armistice had been
signed. He, didn't escape. l5.E

At meeting, Tuesday evening OF
the Valley City Alumni plans were set
in motion to provide a room in the
Normal School for Alumni Headquar-
tiers. Mrs. Charles Peterson lAffa
Cogsdill, 10Y of Valley City, is the
chairman Of the committee appointed
to carry out the plans agreed upon:
We are informed that what is
known as the old Y. w. G. A. rest
room is to be transformed into the new
and permanent headquarters Of the
Alumni Association. Work is to be-
gin Immediately 50 that the head
quarters will be ready by Commence
n,ent. We are told that the color
scheme is to be worked out in blue
and gold; that it is the desire Of the
committee that the room be furnish
ed with wicker furniture; and that
rugs and other articles suitable for a
room Of this kind are to be used.
The committee, through Mrs.
Charles Peterson. requests that gifts
in pieces of wicker furniture, rugs.
table, and the like are very much de-
sired and that any alumni who feel
that they would like to have a part
IN the furnishing Of the headquarters
should respond at once.
The room will be used as recep-
ton place for visiting alumni. 1t will
also be open as rest room at other
times and as "home" for parents and
friends who come to visit students. It
would seem that with an Alumni AS
ISOLATION rapidly approaching $500 in
number that this project should re-
ceive the heartiest kind Of support.
