CITIZENSHIP MEETING Portland, Oregon, June 29, to July 6, 1913 The holding of the Second World's Christian Citizenship Conference in Portland. Oregon, June 29 to July 6, 1913, will bo one of the significant events in history. It will bring together men of all nationalities, and men who are in the forefront of the world's greatest thinkers and most profound students. The topics to be discussed cover a wide range, and the names of the speakers and the themes upon which they will talk are convinc ing evidence that mighty prob lems will be grappled by master minds. Assemblages of this character are rare. The great men of the century do not often gather for interchange of thought and sug gestion for improvement. They are widely separated as to resi dence. Conditions differ in vari ous countries. The printed page may set forth the result of their endeavors, but the personal con tact is lacking, the magnetism of the speaker is missing and no cold array of facts can approach the living presentation of the truths to be learned. Righteousness exalteth a na tion. This is the underlying and dominant truth to be expounded. Christianity is the corner stone, the foundation and the completed structure upon which the Con ference is founded and from which it trumpets forth the truths which will make men better and set them free. Every msn worships at some shrine. The Christian Citizen ship Congress is a means to an end. It is designed to be help ful. No movement of this char acter can fail to accompolish re sults, when such mighty forces align themselves for the carrying out of a purpose. Public morals and municipal reforms are topics of never-ending controversy. Juvenile delinquency, the social evil and criminal acts occupy our couri3. Other matters of equal gravity confront the people every where. There is help in sight for the solution of vexatious problems. The Conference will strengthen the hands of good citizens in dealing with political corruption; will tend to lift to office every where men whoare incorruptable and in sympathy with these high aims; will purify and ameliorate the conduct of nations toward each other; will lead to the aboli tion of war; and will help to cor rect all social injustice and wrong and to secure to every man a fair share in the fruits of his labor and the largest opportunity for self-improvement and for the welfare of his children. It is a movement of extensive proportions looking to universal advancement in Militant Chris tianty in individual, family and civic life, in general education and in public morals. But the conference is to be comprehens ively Christian. No sectarian shibboleth will be heard; no mere ly denominational note will be struck. It is worth repeating that this assembly will be in many respects the most significant gathering of Christian forces thus far in history. A prominent feature of the Conference will be a great pat riotic demonstration on the Fourth of July. No nation is really great without patriotism. Independence Day has a particu lar and peculiar significance to the citizens of this Republic. Its institutions and its methods are copied and its history is replete with stirring incidents. Notable Americans will .tell of national accomplishments and eminent men from abroad will narrate how this nation has been helpful to others. Cordial welcome awaits the coming of'the delegates and their friends. The new West extends a greeting to the people of the old world and the men of renown of the home land, and will hear with listening ears the messages they bring. The official program has impor tant addres8e3 from prominent men from every country. F. De Rougemont of Switzerland, Rev. John Lamond of Scotland, Dr. Chas.

INDEPENDENCE CREAMERY A SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR Report Printed in Pacific Homestead I The followingarticlo tells about ; the butter is made, -.ne reprt- ents the company on the road, Bnc 0nein Portland. Established j in l'K) with nothinz more thun j u fevv facts and an idea, the j creamery has brought wealth t ; this community. Over 150O cream Oregon, and the northern part 0f California, drawing- from a large district. The valuation of ' the present output is $.0,(00 peri month. The creamery here was the first to start in Polk county, and its growth has hern con stant. The belief that a cream ery would pay here was based upon the experience of farmers! in Minnesota, who, twenty-five j years ago were about bankrupt from wheat raising, and who, just as soon as they abandoned whe.it i raising and started in the dairy! business, got out of debt and be-1 fran puttin monfly in tho bank. Last year's output of the cream ery was ;!0i),000 pounds, which is accounted for by tha ever grow ing demand for butter. Pacific Homestead. DEPUTY PROSECUTING ATTORNtY APPOINTEO D. 11.
