The record t the trus tees meetings were read to the mem-, bers and the action taken on the various matters coming to the alien-, tion of the board was ratified. The secretary reported that thruugh the activity of the club a general test is being made of the sugar beet and flax propositions and next year will probably see the establishment of plants for manufacturing both of these products. New members are coming into the club every meeting the Increase being about 20 per per month. While this is not as rapid as the officials would like to see it, it shows !at least a good healthy growth. An organized effort will be made by personal work to largely Increase this number, with . the idea of reaching the goal of 4001 members, j More-funds are needed by the club to properly carry on the work it is doing, and no difficulty- is anticipat ed in securing a sufficient sum. Tne work which Is being done now is . velopment work pure and simple, without boosting or booming. The future of tho Umpqua valley depends on the development of its natural re sources and raising the productivity of its soil to the highest possible de gree, thereby multiplying the returns which are received many fold. The matter of sechring the plant ing of more bur clover as a forage crop was discussed at length, and it will be undertaken by the club in a small way this year. . The crop is not very well known at present, and Its value as a forage crop Is becom ing more apparent every year. 1; Pfc. v V. 3.." t ZjTCWt VK"'V MAHGI KUITK CLAUK in the bea utiful five-reel Paramount Photoplay "Still Waters." ut the Ant lei T'-itre Tin) -vriav an-l Friday. cvc"iVtvM 3 0 701,1 ot icc-"4 c-'- & bcJt ui iv-t bAt.TJcl,m,"S htc'orpiTOt.natorfcniioa a mtfcl surface,, Indoor, and oat. yon.
