LAMB SPOKE LAST NIGHT Professor Lamb, from Corvallis, delivered a very instructive lecture on poultry raising last night at the Commercial Club rooms under the auspices of the Prineville Poultry Association. Several cars of hay iave recently been shlpcd to the farmers of Tilla mook county, from Redmond, through the medium of the County Agents of the two counties, and since using some of the superior Central Oregon product, the farm ers there have decided they can use 1000 tons for fall delivery. The Tillamook dairymen have de cided that if they can buy all the hay they need from the farmers over here that they will use all their land for pasture, green crops and silage, and they are anxious to know what can be done In the mat ter so they may plan their cropping system under the new conditions. It begins to look as if Central Oregon farmers are not going to have to worry about a market for their crops. Quality and quantity count when It comes to getting be fore the bigger markets and that Is what the farmers of these two coun-1 ties are learning to produce. PARADE AND RALLY HELD LAST SATURDAY A patriotic parade and demonstra tion was held in Prlneville Saturday j afternoon which was participated in by several hundred people.

Jay H. -Upton delivered a few re marks. EASTER AND WAR At this season of the year we stand within the shadow of the cross and wait for the light of the resurrection morning to dispel its gloom. The darkness has been deepened by the war cloud that hovers over our nation. Poor agonized Europe sinks help less in the vortex cf the bloody maelstrom. The fast running cur rent of events seems to draw our nation into the whirl of death. In this awful hour the victory of Jesus Christ over the grave should mean more to men than ever before. If the crime and curse of war should demand of us its staggering toll, through all the confused noises of earth we still may hear the Christ declare, "I am the resurrection and the life." The Resurrection proves his claim, though the War God stalks forth gathering his harvest of death. Christ still declares, "He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live." It is alone in Him we can hope and have the victory of Life over death. He alone can close the fur- rows of war, and forever extinguish the last vestige of hatred and hor rors among men. The Christian Church is the result of the Restora tion movement. An effort on the part of the twentieth century Dis ciples ta establish the faith ONCE delivered to the saints, of the first century. Through the centuries the false and spurious have crept in re quiring corrections and reformations again and again, until the only solu tion to the problem of the pure teachings of Christ, has been a res toration of those teachings untouch ed and untainted by the hands of men. If you wish to be SURE of your hope of immortality study the plan of salvation as laid down by Christ and his disciples. If you will spend an hour with us each Sunday morn ing or evening, we will seek to teach you the faith of the early disciples. CRAWFORDS COMING AGAIN The Crawford Stock ' Company, which will be remembered as having given a series of first class plays in this city a few months ago, will be in Prineville the last of next week.
