A mass meeting was held at the school house Wednesday evening to get the sentiment of the people on the «luestion of a new school house. Harry Slrwurt was appointed chairman and conducted the meeting in a very able manner. A straw vote was taken to decide whether to build or not, result ing in a (urge majority in favor of building. Plana are being laid and discussed on cost and type of build ing to be erected if it was decidtd to build. It appeurs that those who think the new Oregon state income tax may be gauged by the federal tax are slue for u rule surprise. According to a recent editorial In the Oregonian, some who are non- t ax payers under the federal law will be taxed by the state, and, in the case o f small incomes, the state tax is 2 Vfc to 3 1/3 time« the federal tax. Some person« with an income of $3500 who pay the federal government no tax, must pay the state ten dollars. An in come of $7600 which is taxed $45 by the federal government will be taxed $ 150 by the state. The Oregonian entitles its article "B efore the Storm.” It is not unlike ly that taxpayers, when they receive their income tax blanks, will raise a howl that will be heard from one end o f the state to the other.

NUMBER 16 THE PASSING OF THE CLODHOPPER To effete métropolites unversed in the lore of the rustics, there is some thing inexplicable in the respect with which farm problems are o f late years being treated by the august legisla tors o f our country’s weal and woe. It is not especially difficult for some o f our still alert citizens to recall the tlay when catering to the farmer ele ment would have been laughed at by a presidential candidate had it been suggested to him. And now— if it isn’t yet the plank which will either sink or save h hopeful pretender to the throne, it soon will be. Since the earliest organization of society, work In the soil has been looked at askance by those imbued with an overly developed yen for freshly shined shoes, brilliant mani curing and distaste for the odor and feel o f perspiration. Farm labor is arduous, grimy and sweaty, and is accomplished only at the expense of calloused hands and arching muscles. Naturally the lily fingered o f the earth have not taken kindly to it as a life occupation, hut have left it instead as a heritage to those giants in bodily structure to whom the struggle with elemental forces of nature is the zest of life. For ages such giants were content to be giants In brute strength on un thinking, and almost as stolid as the clods with which he worked, the old- time fanner was content merely to dig and delve, offering the fruits of his life’s blood to the world for bar ter. With pathetic humility he prayed that it would meet with favor and that the gratuity bestowed, would be enough to keep the wolf from the door while he strained and toiled to bring forth another harvest to feed the ungrateful masses. The fallacy o f the system lay in the fact that humanity in the aggre gate is inordinately selAsh, and pay ment for services rendered it, has been disgracefully cramped and nig gardly. The farmer was not satisfied, but his long hours and bodily weari ness left him small time to devote to the problem of finding out just what was wrong— and the solution. With mechanical aids to lighten his labor in some measure, came the de sire and opportunity for learning, and it was then that the country boy came into his own. Gray matter had de veloped along with sturdy muscles, and iron sinews, and college life found the country boy more often than not, out in front and leading the scholastic pack. The influx of farm girls and boys into the centers of education has in creased steadily and the effect of tXis learning when brought to bear upon the problems of agricultural life, has Been inevitable. Farm life in the past few decades has been experiencing a renaissance fully as far reaching in its scope and possibilities as that actuating the scolastic situation in the Middle Ages. The farmer of today is not the man | he was last year, last month, or even ! yesterday. Farmer Comtcssel of the funny sheet with his nasal twang, straw whiskers and hog tallow on his boots, is giving way to a clear-eyed keen thinking college trained individ ual who brings the same scientific concentration to bear upon his prob lems as does the efficient manager of any other business. That man may be hornswoggled for a while even yet, because there are not quite enough o f him to swing the tide his way. But just wait He is increasing at a fearful rate and what the world is beginning to notice at present, are the first faint ripples o f a movement which like the earth it rep resents, will be difficult to stop once it starts moving. Our generation is the fortunate one which has the opportunity of wit nessing radical changes in many dif ferent phases o f sociological life, but none o f them are more interesting or more important to civilization as a whole, than the transformation of the clodhopper o f the past, into the agri cultural scientist— the farmer of to morrow. will bring your burden o f guilt to the cross of Christ where Jesus paid the price for your redemption— that is the place to get rid of your burden and go away wearing His wedding garment— to conceal sin? No,a thous and times, no!— if we do that our’s will be the greater condemnation— no, the wedding garment is the love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temper ance disposition He gives us. And you will be given the witness of the Spirit within you that you are a child of God, for no one that is truly bom of God is left in doubt as to whether or not he is a son. In the evening Rev. Burgoyne showed us how beautifully the 27th chapter of Matthew fulfilled the prophecy of the 22 Psalm written a thousand years before by a Jew that knew nothing o f Romans and nothing of punishment by crucifixion. The Sunday school memorizing contest was very interesting last Sun day. Over 700 verses were reported committed during the week. The Young People’s class carried off the banner with 257. The Sunshine Class has challenged the Boy’s class to learn more verses than they can in the next two creek*. The Young Married Peo ple are giving the Young People’s class a party soon. The Ladies Aid will hold their Fe ruary silver tea at the home of Mr John Cox, Thursday, February 5t Mrs. Prather and Mrs. Palmer wi assist the hostess. All the ladies < Turner and surrounding communit are very cordially invited and urgt to attend and enjoy these good turn with us. A few of our ladies got their head: together Sunday evening and plannee a little birthday surprise for Mrs Palmer, one o f our new Aid mem bers. It proved quite a success foi anything so hastily concocted. -----«------ Watch for our report next weel o f our trip to the Aid society rally al Pratum, Wednesday, January 28th.
