The famous "Committee of Seven
teen," known officially as the Farmers
Grain Marketing Committee of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
will open-its session in Kansas City at
the Hotel Baltimore to go into the
whole subject of marketing wheat
and other grain crops.
On the program are Herbert Hoover
and Bernard M. Baruch, who have
been in close touch with President J.
R. Howard of the Farm Bureau Fed-
eration for the last six months pre-
paratory to giving views to the "Com-
mittee of Seventeen.'' This commit-
teen is the most important of nil
named bv Mr. Howard and its deci-
sions ^nd recommendations will be
watched throughout the nation.
One of the main purposes of the
conference is to put an end to the
"present practice of selling grain,
cotton and other farm products which
the sellers do net own at the time of
sale."
The committee will go into the sub-
ject of buying imaginary grain,
chiefly wheat and corn, which never
existed except in the minds of specu-
lators and men operating on the
boards of trade. This practice has
an adverse effect, says the American
Farm Bureau, upon the entire market
grain
poses. The Sundry Civil Bill which
will be passed by the Senate will
carry $18,600,000 for practically the
same purposes, except that more
money is available for the enlarge
ment of plants now in use.
It remains only for the two cham
bers to combine the two measures in.
to one. There is no disagreement on
the question of erecting the five hos-
pitals.
Although Secretary of the Treas-
ury Houston called attention to the
urgent need of 10,000 additional
oeds and asked for an appropriation
of $30,000,000 to be made immed-
iately available, the Langley bill calls
for a much smaller amount. However,
this bill contains an authorization
which will permit administrative of-
ficers to go direct to the appropria-
tions committee without having to
work through the Committee on Pub-
lic Buildings pnd Grounds.
The five hospitals, it is stipulated,
are to be of fire-proof construction,
for the rare of the neuro-psychiatic
and tubercular patients. They will
lie located as follows: One in the cen-
tral Atlantic Coast States, one in the
region of the Great Lakes, one in the
central southwestern states, one in
the Rock Mountain 'States, and one in
Southern California. Each hospital
would cost $2,500,000. In addition,
$500,000 is provided for taking over
Fort McKenzie, Wyo., and Fort Walla
Walla, Wash., abandoned army posts,
which would be converted into hospi-
tals.
major locke
has resigned
The resignation of Victor Locke
from the legislature because a bill in
which he was interested met defeat
evidences an irritableness of temper
and a lack of sound judgment.
Representative Locke has been the
rubject of so much favorable publi-
city since he entered the legislature
that the public had a perfect right to
expect a more balanced judgement
than he has evidenced in resigning
simply because his ideas could not
prevail.
Inevitably we are reminded of the
irate subscriber canceling his sub-
scription in the fond belirf that the
paper will thereby be forced to sus-
pend. However much Major Locke
may have graced the lower house by
his pulchratudinous charms, and re-
eardless of the willingness of the pub-
lic to have him represent a county oY
the soverign state as a worth repre-
sentative, his presence is no more vi-
tal to the perpetuity of free and inde-
pendent government in Oklahoma
than that of any other man.

National Repair Week!

Save Delays and Expense for Telephones, Telegraph
and Transportation Charges by Placing
Your Repair Orders Early
The movement, started during the war, to in-
duce early ordering of repairs so that machinery
may be put in shape for use when needed, has the en-
dorsement of Farm Bureaus, County Agents, Agri-
cultural Colleges and the Farm Press.
President J. R. Howard of the American Farm
Bureau Federation gives Repair Week his endorse-
ment as follows: "I am heartily in sympathy with
the continuance of Repair Week. I know from my
own experience as, a farmer that it paid me during
Repair Week to go over my machinery and list all
needed repairs, and I did my work throughout the
season better by having done this. We will be glad
to co-operate in every way possible."

WOMAN'S AUXILIARY
TO AMERICAN LEGION
The Woman's Auxiliary to the Am-
erican Legion is growing steadily, and
applications for charters are coming
in from all sections of the state.
Still we are not content. Every
Post should have an auxiliary. Offi-
cers at Headquarters of the W. A. A.
L. are working to that end. It is not
unattainable.
Women who are elegible to mem-
bership, get busy! Don't let some
other town or city have an auxiliary,
and you have none.
Post Commanders, you, too, can
help. Don't let some other Post have
an auxiliary, and yours have none.
Appoint your committee on organi-
zation, and the women will do the
rest.
For ages past, all communities have
had stratas of society, but the war
which made this organization possi-
ble, has leveled them all and in
