much depends,' therefore, upon the
profit in raising sheep and lambs for
meat with wool only as a by-product
It is in hogs, 'says the report, that
appears the promise of a large in
crease in meat supply. Hogs are the
product of small farms and a settled
community, and forces that tend to
make cattle raising more difficult
make hog raising easier and' more
profitable,. The United States . has
more than one-third of the world's
supply of" hogs an raise? al??ut 80
per cent of all th c6rri produced.

us who don't take kindly to the meat
of the hog, there is. delight, in the
savory ham, whether boiled, broiled,
fried or roasted, The pork chop and

At some time In our life we feel

THE HOME LAND.
My land was the wi st lund. my
home was on the hill.
I never think of uiy land but it
makes my heart to thrill;'"

But old desire Is lu my feet and
dreams are in my eyes.
My home crowned the highland.
It had a stately grace;
1 never think of my land but I
see my mother's face.
1 never smell the west wind that
blows the silver ships
But old delliiht is In my heart
and youth Is on my Hps.

house was near the skies:

AMERICA'S NEED.
In Amerlcu we have h;.d so
much material ' prosperity, we
have Indulged ourselves in so
much luxury, that we have lost
the spiritual vision of our pil
grim fathers. I say this in full
recognition of the niagnltU-ent
benellceiue of generous philan
thropists and the noble work
which has been done in uplifting
the sinful and the unfortunate.
But ns a nation we need a new
spiritual awakenliu;. I speak
only that which Is In the minds
of many thoughtful men. when
1 say that the greatest need of
America today ami Its only anti
dote against the poison of Social
ism Is a great revival of religion
ivhtrb will turn the minds of
men nway from the considera
tion of these minor social evils
to a contemplation of their rela
tions with the Almighty, Alhn

But only to discover and to do
Wlthv cheerful heart the work
that God appoints.

That he can hold his own. and

l onigm s i neme Announced.
Tonight at 7:30 Rev. Thos. Jos.
Brady will speak upon that most in-1
teresting subject, "The worst thing
in the Church of Christ," or "The
Confessional." This lecture has al-j
ways been very favorably received,
throughout Eastern Oregon, and is!
of the most convincing character. All '
scriptural quotations will be drawn'
from the King James bible. No phase
of the question will be left untouched
and a highly interesting hour is guar
anteed'to all who appear in the
church. Father Brady is very earn
est in calling the attention of the peo-
pie that he wishes to address only
their minds and any listening to him
is convinced of that fact. There will
be no answering of questions tonight
because1 of the length of the-topics
and people who expect to attend are
urged to be on time tonight as the
lecture will begin at 7:30 sharp. On
Wednesday night there will be' no
lecture. ...':' ;
On Thursday night at 7: :30 "The
Greatest Thing in the : Church' of
Christ" or "The Real Presence''-will
be treated.' This is also a specialty
subject' with- Father Brady and those

and Christian learning that had ever
been heard in their town.' All are
invited to the entire series ' of : dis
courses. All seats are free and there
will be no collections at any of these
evening lectures. Come and bring
your friends along. - ' .
rnrnsn. who is to receive. S3.000 a
"night : under the ' terms of his 'new '
contract, will make a pretty fair liv
ing if he can only find something to
do on the side during the day. '
