tion In prayer. ' Rer. Ocrvin's topic
was "The First Church Scandals".
Referring to the death of Anlnias
and Sopblra In the early Christian
Church, Rev. Gervln said: "Some
persons pray for another Pentecost.
If that prayer should be granted and
the Lord would kill all the liars In
the church today, the paBtors would
bo busy all the time preaching fu
mirnl sermons."
The members of the Christian
church unanimously accepted the In
vitation of Rev. Reld and his congre
gation to attend services next Sun

OREGON WOMEN FOR
GOOD ROADS BONDS
Assurance that, the women of this
Btate favor good roads was given at
the State-wide rally In Portland by
Mrs. Charles H. Castner, ot Hood
River, president of the Oregon Fed
eration of Women's Clubs. She said:
"If there Is one form ot legisla
tion that the women of this State
are Interested In more than any
other, outside of the home and
schools. It is good roads, and par
ticularly do they wish this tor the
rural women, for to whom can good
roads mean more than to the women
on the farm. It would tend to
lessen that great isolation the
groat factor In driving the boys and
girla to the city.
VThe women of my orsanizatton.
composed ot 133 clubs, and nearly
15,000 women In this State, are in
terestea in good roads, as was
shown by a resolution unanimously
passed lor good roads at the last an

The foIlowliiK letter which was
received by O. C. Claypool & Com
pany of this city from the Portland
branch of the John , Deere Plow
company shows forcibly the actual!
warding food product,on:
A bulletin of the Federal Reserve j
Bank of Minneapolis says: "We In
this country will feel the pinch of
j hunger before twelve months are
make It his business this year to see
that no one in the United States
goes hungry, and that the whole
world has enough to eat; if the
farmer's feeling ot patriotism does
not stir him to raise more food crops
than ever before, the opportunity to
make money should certainly influ
ence him, because this is a year of
golden opportunity. Whatever oc
curs, prices ot food products will be
high. England's prime minister has
recently expressed the opinion that
food prices are not likely to decrease
for long time after the war, as
Germany would then be a heavier
purchaser than now. In another
Service Letter we gave you the In
formation that England had guar
anteed to its farmers prices on
wheat, oats and potatoes for seven
yoars to come. '
The farmer's slogan should be:
"Plant Record-Breaking Crops Our
Country Needs Them." Further
more, the meat supply must be in
creased, therefore corn and forage
crops must be liberally planted.
Something more than a general
publicity campaign is necessary. The
newspapers will stir up Interest, but
if the real object is to be a Haired
someone In each community will
need to make it his business to see
that every single farm in his com
munity is made to produce more
pounds of food than before. You
can do a great work in this connec-
T0U,C.a.n fmPress each farmer, cooperate with you. and advise with
either by letter or by telephone, or you concerning some systematic
by a talk on the street, with thejmetnod t0 De pursued to get each
great necessity of Increasing the ; rlnP inPrMaa hia fnmt crnna
acreage of food crops. This is
patriotic duty superior to the matter
of profits from the increased sale of
implements.
The greatest food crop is wheat;
perhaps second in Importance is po
tatoes; no matter what the seed may
cost, the profit from potatoes will be
high. All food crops are of great
importance this year.
You should get firmly fixed in
your mind that record-breaking
crops are necessary in your com
munity, and immediately start a
campaign with the farmers that
every available Inch of ground may,
this year, be used in the production
ot food. Not only as a dealer in
implements are you interested in
this work, but as a patriotic citizen,

Should the war be over, the price

In his appeal to the people, Presi-
dent Wilson said recently:
I take the liberty, therefore, of
addressing this word to the farmer
of the country and to all who work
on farms: The supreme need of
our nation and ot nations with
which we are cooperating is aa
abundance of supplies, and especial
ly ot foodstuffs. Without abundant
food, alike tor the armies and tba
peoples now at war, the whole great
enterprise upon which we have em
barked will break down and fall.
