THE MORNING OREGOMAX, MONDAY, APRIL 19, 1920 BIBLE IS DECLARED GOOD LIFE'S NEED "Hills That Help" Discussed ,by Dr. Stansfield. AID TO MANKIND URGED First Methodist Pastor Views Re ligions Importance of Sinai, Calvary and Olivet. "The Bible religion g-ives the finest philosophy of human life arid is the bet help to good life and living," de clared Ir. Stansfield yesterday morn inar in his sermon at the First Meth odist church on "Hills That Help." "It recognizes always that the best and surest help for the greatest of human needs is from above." contin ued the pastor. "Only the liig.nest help can meet the tieepest needs of mankind. "What wonderful revelations of God there have been, on the moun tains and hills of the Bible. I will name only three this morning Sinai, Calvary and Olivet. What experi ences were thera; what wonderful hills they are, and what light they how on the severest problems of liuman life. "Sinai, where God gave, through Moses, the moral code for human con duct for all tim.. There were many things In the Mosaic economy that were completely outlived and became obsolete after Christ, but the moral law of God tha. ten grcafwords abide forever. ... "Sinai brings man under the moral, law of God and is the eternal protest and protection againts anarchy, law lessness and sin. As a safest and best security for the individual and the state is Sinai, and the imperishable moral law and code of conduct. I will lift up mine eyes to the hill Sinai, from whence Cometh help." "But, far better than Sinai is the hill Calvary. I Sinai stands for law Calvary stands for divine love. Sinn's deepest need is when the laws of Sinai have been broken then noth ing but divine love can forgive, re deem and help. 'I will lift up mine eyes unto Calvary, whence cometh my help.' "Lawlessness, sin and death are man's greatest enemies and where he most sorely neads help and deliver ance Sinai and Calvary and Olivet meet these deepset human needs. Help may be found in these holy hills. "OliVet is where Christ ascended from earth to heaven and shows that the destiny of man is not death, but immortality. The men. Christ Jesus, our lord, and savior, and leader, and 'way-shower.' has cone through death as conqueror. Man's last enemy is death. The man, Christ .Testis, has overcome death, and from 'Olivet' as cended to heaven, clearly showing that man's destiny is not dust and death, but immortality and heaven. He ascended for us, and where he Is, there we shall be also." CHURCH HELD FACING TEST Rev. W. A. Waldo Declares Real Men Are Xeeded Xow, "We are facing a great crisis. The church is under its greatest test to day," said Rev. W. A. Waldo, pastor of the White Temple, in his sermon yesterday morning on "The Call for Laymen." "Not only the world but the church is calling for men, real masculine men, men who will serve, men who will sacrifice," continued Dr. Waldo. "There is a tremenodus responsibility on men today and it is growing great er every day. "The great demand for men today is not only strong men, but men of promoting ability, men of organizing ability and men of financial ability. "J might here tell you of the birth of Chicago university. John D. Rock efeller once telegraphed Dr. Harper to meet him in Chicago as he had something very important to speak to mm aoout. when they met Mr. Rock efeller said: 'Mr. Harper, don't you think the west should have a great university?' 'Yes,' was the reply. 'Then don't you think we ought to have a great man at the head of it?' asked Mr. Rockefeller. 'Yes, I do." said Mr. Harper. 'Then, you are the man and I will give you jl, 000, 000 to Btart it,' said the rich man. Mr. Har per stepped back and said, -'No, Mr. Rockefeller. I couldn't start the kind of a university the west ought to have on $1,000,000. I'd have to have 130, 000.000 and he got it.'" "In this great New World move ment we will have to have big men. men of promoting ability, organizing and financial ability." MORAL CCLICRE IS URGED Rev. G. II. Bennett Discusses Needs ! or Civilized Mankind. "Power of Christian Education." was the subject on which Rev. George H. Bennett of the Patton Methodist church, spoke yesterday morning. "The standing of a man among men is determined by his excellent knowl edge, his high moral principles, and his power to impress his ideas upon others," said Rev. Bennett. "The dif ference between the barbarous and the civilized is a difference in ideas, a difference in mental and moral cul ture. As the eye has been created for light, the ear for sound, so the mind has been created for knowledge and the soul for moral truth. "Mankind has made mighty strides in knowledge and invention. Every child is entitled to full mental de velopment, making his powers avail able for efficient service in life's struggle. Knowledge is conquering disease, and ignorance and poverty. Miracles of invention, art and dis covery are many, and all are trophies of scholarship. But unless moral cul ture keeps pace with mental culture, civilization is in danger of wreckage on the rocks of folly. Christian edu cation is the balance wheel of the highest civilization. A barbarous na tion cultured in modern science and art, but still imbued with their primi tive, low. moral ideals, is a menace to the world a firebrand in a pow der mill." he is never lacking in attention to the ' curious who make the journey to his ranch. The incubator and brooder houses of Henacres, with their electric equip ment, are up to date In the strictest sense of the word, the plant even hav ing its own generator in case any thing goes wrong with the power lines. As the name implies, the livestock on the ranch is mostly chickens. In the brooder houses there are 3200 little fellows ranging in age from 10 days to three weeks and in addition to this there are 2500 old chickens in the laying houses. The egg produc tion is around 80 pet- cent and it takes all of one man's time feeding, gather ing eggs and looking after the wants of this industrious bunch of White Leghorns. The feed bill is J100 per month. The incubators are hatching 0000 chicks per week, the hatches coming off every three days, ship ments being made every two days. EIGHT ACTS ON BENEFIT VAUDEVILLE CO BE FOLLOWED BY S6CIAL DANCE. Programme to Be Put On to Aid Veterans- of Foreign Wars and Multnomah Guard Band. Bight acts of vaudeville, the choice of the big circuits, followed by a social dance until midnight, will com prise the entertainment to be given at the auditorium Fridav night for the benefit of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Multnomah Guard band. The programme is now being ar ranged by Frank Coffinberry. "We are proud to share this benefit with the veterans' organization," said W. A. McDougall, director of the band, "and their purpose should be more widely known. In the hospitals of this city there are at present more than 6K service men, suffering from the effects of overseas wounds or ill ness. The visiting committee of the Veterans of Foreign Wars pays bi monthly visits to these men and car ries them comforts and cheer that the hospitals do not afford. The fund would be applied to this purpose. "As for the band, we are consider ably in debt for the purchase of uni forms and equipment made during the war period, when the band was constantly, in demand for patriotic drives, troop events and the like. For these services we never asked, nor would we have accepted, compensa tion of any sort. But if the amusement-seeking' public cares to patron ize the finest bill of vaudeville ever shown in the auditorium their pleas ure will be our gain." Director Coffinberry, who is "ar ranging the programme, will an nounce it early this week. SHOE PRICE PLACED AT REMITS DOOR Hide Values Decline 50 Per Cent, Says Dealer.

Although Henacres, Prosser's baby chick raftch, is always a show place of the district, it is particularly interesting at this season of the year when it is bringing off its commercial hatch. While, of course. Sunday is the big day, scarcely a day goes by when there are not some visitors and it is a poor week when the owner. K. R. Wells, does not show a hundred or more people about the place. This is always done with the utmost cour tesy and, although it takes up a con siderable portion or the owner's time.

The blame for high priced shoes cannot be placed on the hide dealer, according to men in this line of busi ness. It is true that hides are still high in price, but there appears to be a very wide margin of profit for some one between the cost of an animal's skin and what a man has to pay for a pair of shoes. At the same time the bottom has not dropped out of the hide market, according to George M. Sullivan, a Portland hide dealer, who points out that hides today are worth double the normal price. Much has been said regarding the high cost of shoes and the low prices ror nides, said Mr. Sullivan. "We read the other day that hides were not taken off the animals that have been dying on the range in Montana, because, as it was said, a leather salesman explained to the others who remarked about it on a train passing through that state, where they could see the carcasses unskinned Taying along the track, the low price of hides made it impossible to skin the dead cattle profitably. In the first place hides advanced during the past four years and reached the highest point In history during July and August of last year. wnen the prices paid for all classes of hides and skins were Just about four times the normal prices prior to the war. Since July of last year hide prices have declined about 50 per cent and today hide values are still 100 per cent above normal." Concerning the relation between shoe prices and hide and leather costs Mr. Sullivan said: It has been shown that the cost of manufacturing a good pair of shoes in 1914 was made up as follows: Ma terials. 11.81; labor, 61 cents, and overhead, 22 cents, a total of S2.64. ' At present it is Irard to say what the cost is but the figures for 1919 were: Materials, 86.46; labor. 11.15. and overhead. 63 cents, a total of J8.14. "It is quite likely that a Dair'of shoes that cost S8 to manufacture is retailed at 818 to 820. The manu facturer is glad to make 50 cents on a pair of shoes, but the retailer wants to make more than 100 per cent. Sen ator Kenyon, a member of the senate committee of which Senator McNary is chairman, investigating the cost of shoes and other articles, bought a pair of shoes the other day in Wash ington, according to press reports, for which he paid 820. Later he in vestigated and found that the re tailer paid the factory $8; the balance was his profit. It is well for everyone to bear in mind the fact that some considerable time elapses before a raw hide or skin is developed into a finished shoe." A Chicago trade paper. Hide and Leather, which is devoted en tirely to this industry, said in a re cent issue: " 'Many feel that we have about reached the bottom of leather prices for some time at least. The domestic trade is good, with shoe retailers ex pecting a -lively spring business at high prices, and they must get high prices to clear, as they paid the high est cost In years for the goods. The public, therefore, can hardly expect lower prices on the stocks now in re tailers' hands. They forget that shoes now on the market were made from the most costly hides and leather that this country lias ever known, and they forget that some time elapses before the raw hide or skin is developed into a finished shoe, often long enough for the animal to be a year or more older' if it had lived." "We are of the opinion, however. the writer of this article overlooked the unreasonable prices charged by most retailers and the large profits they are making on their sales. Everybody seems to, think that shoes are not good unless they cost around $18 to $20. The same shoes marked $10 are harder td sell than at $20. Any shoe salesman will tell you this."

All laundries are rushed on the first three days of the week and eighty per cent of the shortage ar.d unsatisfactory work is caused by this rush. Then there is nothing to do on the last days of the week, yet the employes must be paid a full week's salary under the present high cost of living, and we are paying it. LAUNDRY PRICES are high enough now, but unless conditions change and the patrons of laundries will send in a part of their work the last three days of the week prices for laundry are 6ure to go higher. THEREFORE, to avoid the faults mentioned above we have adopted the following plan of collection and delivery: LAUNDRY COLLECTED ? Monday P. M. delivered Thursday A. M. Tuesday P.
