TO THE DISCARD.
I get it from pretty good uthority
that the state grange is going to pro
vide for a vote of the people on the
matter of abolishing the state senate.
And just as surely as the matter is
ever given to the voters, just so sure
ly is the senate going to the discard.
The state senate of Oregon is like
a sick man's appendix sore, dan
gerous and of no conceivable good.
The only matter that stands be
tween it and the operation is the sur-
F eon's expenses of about $1200 and'
cet a straight tin that the Granere
and others are going to see that the
expense for the referendum petition
is raised.
And every man who contributes in
aid of this operation will find it a
good investment.
This paper has repeatedly asked of
what use is this second house of the
legislature, and only echo has answer
ed. It's only defense is a petrified pre
cedent handed down from England,

The state senate is a big business
block system. It is there to kill or
doctor any progressive measures that
come from the house. . ' "

I have analyzed a sample of the Utab Land Plaster furnished by Nottingham
B Co., or Portland, and find it to be an excellent grade of plaster. The sam
ple gave over ninety-eight per cent, pure Gypsum, and the largest amount of
Sulphate possible to obtain in any available natural deposit. It also shows that
there is absolutely no foreign matter in the material. The soils of westsrn Or
egon respond very readily to applications of land plaster, and good results are
obtained by applications of 50 to 60 pounds per acre on leguminous crops. Cer
tain truck gardeners also use the plaster with good results on general trucking
crops. Our laboratory investigations have shown that there is a marked re
lease of potash from the western Oregon clay loams on applying plaster, and
we are of the opinion that this explains its favorable action.

Joint-heirs with Jesus Christ to the
Heavenly Inheritance. God dealt with
Abraham as a friend and promised him
earthly blesslugs. But He accepts Je
sus and His followers as sons, and
promises them Ueavenly things.
Abraham's Frjenda Not Joint-Hairs.
Lot was a man. nearly Abraham's
age, the sum of Ilnrnn. God did not
call Lot, nor any other of Abraham's
relatives, but merely himself, to be the
recipient of the promises. This did not
hinder Lot from being with his uncle,
but permitted him to share the bless
ings of Divine provldeuce, which guid
ed Abraham's affairs. Similarly, the
spiritual children of Abraham alone are
heirs to the Abraunuitc Promise, and
not their friends and relatives, although
the hitter may share a reflex blessing
of spiritual influence through associa
tion with them.
These splrltunl children of Abraham,
Christ and Ills consecrated followers.
are particularly specified as the heirs
of the 'Abrahauile Promise. (Gala
Hons 8:29.) They All have a faith snd
a spirit of obedience, similar to Abra
ham's. Jesus Is thelf Head, as well as
their Redeemer; and they become His
disciples by a covenant of sacrifice,
similar to Ilia own.
Riches Oftan Bring Trouble.
God's blessing upon Abraham, shared
by Lot, brought strife between their
servants. Abraham perceived that the
two families had better part Lot as
sented. Abraham gave him hll choice
of country, and Lot chose the most fer
tilethe Plain of Sodom. Lot made
his homo ln Sodom, while his flocks
and herds were pastured lu the region
surrounding.
Doubtless Lot's wife had to do with
the choice. The family lived there
three years. The riches of the country
had a debasing
effect upon the
people. Lot's

Sound advice from the man who has been

When you buy a Studebaker buggy you are buying
all the skill, experience and science in buggy building
that half a century can produce. You are protect
ing yourself against the mistakes of younger builders.
You will always be proud of the Studebaker
nameplate, for there isn't a buggy on the road that is
its equal for style, luxury and good looks.
Flexible bent-reach gear, graceful lines, solid cor
ner, plugless body, double-ironed shafts, are a few of
the special Studebaker features.
The new close-fitting shifting rail is enough in
itself to make you buy a Studebaker buggy.
