Tremendous Awakening. The glad news of the Master's speedy return, foretold in Matt 24: 14, is sweeping to earth's remotest bounds. A consecrated company of more than five thousand men and wo men are devoting their entire time and energy to proclaiming this one mighty fact to every nation, that the final period is about to be placed upon the last page of earth's sin stained history. And with the sound of this united army is mingled the sdund of a multitude of other voices that here and there help to swell the warning cry. The divine plan is working out In 1800 there were on ly four ' missionary societies in the world. Today there are 095, with, a total force. of 22,058 foreign mission aries and 88,542 native workers. On May 7, 1804, the British and Foreign Bible Society was organized. May 8, 18f6, marked the founding of the American Bible Society. Today these two societies alone have 16,000 aux iliary and affiliated societies. The Bible is printed at the rate of 20,000, 00d copies -a year, in over five hundred distinct forms of human speech.

HHHH ECONOMY IN SCIENCE The increased extent to which the large industrial corporations of the country now support their own de partments of scientific research is a gratifying development of the times. Science is regarded as a necessity ra ther than a luxury. And this coming of science 'into its own as. a large fac tor in the industrial life of the Na tion is necessarily followed by a cer tain reaction of business upon science. Never before, perhaps, has the de mand been so keen for research that is no less than ever scientific in spir it an in method but that has a defi nite purpose and yields definite re sults. The icfea of making science useful is not new, but the utility of science has become more universally the test of its value. In the scientific work done under the Federal Government this demand for results is abundantly justified by the public need. If the strongest cor porations are making large use of chemists, physicists, and geologists, the general public has similar need in its service for applied science., The business policy of organising scientific investigation for effective worif, however, is far from novel, for in 1878, in tho report to Congress ad vocating the creation of the United States Geological Survey, the Nation al Academy of Sciences described the ideal plan for a scientific bureau as TO IMPROVE THE POTATO New Varieties. Developed by Depart mcnt Experiments in Control of Diseases. Tho department is conducting a number of potato investigations, chiefly at Prcsque Isle, Me.; Greeley, Colo.$ Jerome, Idaho; and Norfolk, Va,. One of the main features of the work is the development, from Bced, of new varieties of -potatoes espec- tally suited for certain purposes and adapted to tho special growing re gions in vwhich such products can most economically be produced. A largo number of seedlings have been grown and those of greatest promise only retained, of which there are sonte 300 considered of sufficient value to warrant further testing. These are being tried out in cooperation with the various State stations, and as soon as they have proven their worth in any locality arrangements will bo made to establish the yariety in the region to. which it is best adapted. Experiments leading to a determi nation of the factors necessary for the production of disease-free potatoes in western irrigated sections have shown that organisms capable of causing diseases of potatoes aro pro bably present in all desert lands, but that land previously in cultivation with grains and alfalfa may, when di seasc-free seed is planted, produce a crop comparatively free from disease In southern Idaho the experiments on tho control of powdery' dry rot in storage have been completed and show that tho losses can be prevented by careful harvesting to avoid me chanical injuries and by keeping' the storage cellar at a temperature be tween 35 and 40 degrees F., with pro per ventilation. "When it is neces sary to store in poorly ventilated or improperly cooled houses the disease may be effectively checked by disin fection with corrosivo sublimate or formaldehyde, provided this is done within 24 hours after digging. Fur ther surveys havo indicated that tho powdery scab disease is confined to six sections of the United States, all of these being northern except one locality in Florida. In every case these areas are in sections with con siderable rainfall, where soil condi tions are such that poor drainage pre vails. It has been found that the di sease can bo lessened by tho applica tion of seed and soil treatments. The cause of potato "leak," a rapid type of decay causing serious lossin the Delta district of California, has been discovered and experiments have shown that it can be controlled by careful harvesting and sorting before shipment Annual Report' Chief of Bureau of Plant Industry. CAPITAL MORE FRIENDLY The Sentinel was one of the first to come out boldly a few years ago Kand declare that Oregon had been made an uninviting lace for capital. We were severely criticized by those who said that instead of helping things we would scare investors away completely. We contended that to keep quiet meant that conditions would get worse, that capital that did come here would soon learn the con ditions and warn' other capital away and that the only way to accomplish permanent good was to arouse the voters to tho conditions that prevail ed. That might mean temporary in jury, but it would mean that wo could achieve our destiny sooner than we would by getting capital here through silent hypocrisy. Many other papers felt the same way and as a result of a free expres sion of opinion on the part of news papers, Oregon voters have served notice that they are done with freak experiments, that single tax, will be snowed under deeper every election, no matter in what form it is put on the ballot, and that Oregon offers legitimate protection to honest in vestment That the feeling toward Oregon is changing is borne, out by the reports of those returning from, the east who say capital has been impressed by the results of recent elections and by the signal defeats of single tax and is looking towards the empire of the Pacific for investments of funds be ing made through the manufacture of war munitions. Oregon industries can soon look to the east for money with which to ex pand, but the good work is not yet complete. Industry is yet hedged about with too many senseless regu lations that make the danger and ex pense of doing business too great Cottage Grove Sentinel. Fact vs. Fancy, A good story is being told of a reply given by a stu dent to a question set in an exami nation-paper: "If twenty men reap a field In eight hours," ran the question, "how long will it take fifteen men to reap the same field?" The student thought long and care fully before setting down the answer, and when he handed in his paper this is what the examiner read: "The field having already been reaped by the twenty men, could not be reaped by the fifteen."
