sun-rising of a
new and better
day.
The tradition of
ICaster Is a holy
one. The Keast
lucks the merri
ment we have
learned to associ
ate with the Na
llvlly, hut the
Kesurrectton is to
the full us essential to the Christian
faith.
Christmas Is a season of Joy, of
blithesome cheerfulness at the udvent
of the Savior. To u world sobered by
Its Uelhsemane and Calvary, Easter
brings a message of Faith and Hope,
the essence of the religion munliiud
needs.
Mankind has passed through the
Agony culminating In and symbolized
by the little white cross, lleuvy
bearted we are still Inclined to seek
solace at the tomb. To us the mes
sage comes again: "Why seek ye the
Uvlng among the dead? Ue Is not
here; He Is risen."
Therein lies the message of Easter:
the .promise of Immortality beyond the
tomb.
Nor la It a mere coincidence that
Easter falls at this season. Sprint;
Is simply Nature's wny of reiterating
the Easter message. Through the long
winter months the world of Nature
has seemed asleep in deuth. Trees
bare, fields destitute, death appeared
to reign supreme.
Then, Just as we are almost wea
ried enough to give up hope, the sap
begins to run, Mile green things to
shoot, birds to chirp as cheerily as
ever.
It Is Nature's message of immortal
ity to the world of humanity.
There Is another and a wider aspect
of the Easter message. We seem to
be standing by the tomb of much that
Is holy. Religion, belief In principle.
Idealism, how dead they seem to be I
Seeking only material things, neglect
ful of things of the spirit, the world
Is In s parlous state. The few who
have held their beliefs look about n
perplexity snd dismay. - Has the very
body of the faith been removed? Ah,
no. In the midst of our anxious grief
comes the reviving, heartening assur
ance: "He Is not dead; Ue is risen."
Ever the Enster festival comes
around after the Inevitable Agony
and every spring the magic words are
spoken and we go forth clad In Invul
nerable armor for the fray, for "He la
not dead; He la risen." 80 shall we
other men also rise!

These two counties both lie close to

aolls and the cropa that grow thereon.

are rocky and the soil is very shal
low. Onions and tobacco are the big
main crops In the valley. A thous
and bushels of onions and 500 to
uoo pounds of tobacco per acre are
not unuaual crops on 13 and 25 acre
plots owned and worked by a Polish
farmer and his large family. A few
Yankees still farm, however, a larger
number of Polaudera produce most
of the crops.
On the hills and leva ste.jp moun
tain sides much good fruit is grown.
Apples are the prlncpal crop. Very
little stock la kept. Pastures are
poor as a rule. Some dairying is
done near the towns, of which thete
Is au abundance In this tl ickly set
tled position of the country.
The climate la quite typical of
New England. Spring work atarts
in April usually and ends in Novem
ber or earl December, except coarse
work in the woods. The rainfall la
well distributed over the ieason and
totals for the year an average of
4 2 inches. Snow often comes In No
vember and lasts till April. Sleighing
Is common and the snow Is often so
deep iha;( aulos can only he used

realizes that he cannot do without
his old faithful friend, the horse.
To describe the soils of Doualas
county would take altocother too
much time and space. Thcv are as
varied as a color plate put out by
a big paint house. Aa a mis the

Trult croi's of all kinds are grown on
these lands. The bench lands am

ty, livestock, Including poultry, be
ing the second big farm business.
The farmers of thia county are 7.6
native Americans. Pastures are us
ually poor during July and August
in all of the county except the coaat
section where the rainfall Is usually
double or triple than east of the
coast range.

county in the atate. The famous
Umpqua river la partly responsible
