short business im-vting the hostess,
assisted by her daughter, Mrs. How
ard Gilbert, served a delicious lunch
o f ham sandwiches, vegetable salad
und coffee. Mrs. Piser and small son,
Mrs. Vernon Van Osdal and Joan
Howne were truest« of the club. Those

Asche, Mrs. Chamberlin, Mr«. Stew
art, Mrs. Bidden. Mrs. Goss, Mrs.
Allen, Mr«. Howard Gilbert, Mrs.
Joan Bowne, Mrs. J. D. Bowne, Mrs.

Mr«. Mary Hankcl. The next meet
ing 1« with Mr«. Asche, where election
o f officers for the new term will take
place.
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.
