THEY COME IN SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZES, ABOUT 2 TO 8 YEARS QQq Country Church Our IMost Important Institution It Is Failing And Needs Strengthening By President KENYON L. BUT TERFIiLD of the Massa chusetts Agricultural CUE country church I con sider in most respects the MOST IMPOR TANT INSTITUTION IN THESE UNITED STATES. Ami I sny this although I realize that the same inJilTcrencc toward church life and churchgoing which has swept through our cities has also alTcctcd our country churches. The point is, however, that we CANNOT A1TOKD TO HAVE A PROSPEROUS AHKICULTUUAL EI EE THAT IS FURELY MATERIALISTIC. The church is the one great institution con cerned with the higher human instincts. THE CHURCH HAS BEEN WEAKENED BY SEVERAL CAUSES. FOR ONE THING, THERE ARE TOO MANY CHURCHES, AND AS A RESULT DENOMINATIONAL JEALOUSIES ARE STRONG, THE CHURCHES ARE POOR AND THE MINISTERS ARE POORLY PAID. THIS IS NOT TRUE IN ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, HOW EVER, AND THERE ARE SPLENDID EXCEPTIONS STRONG, FINE COUNTRY CHURCHES WITH ACTIVE PASTORS. As a matter of fact, I suppose wo could have better agriculture without the country church. That is, the church is not educational, and if it comes to pure agriculture we could teacli the farmers how to tako care of their farms without bothering with the church port at all. Rut I believe that the CHURCH IS ABSOLUTELY NECES SARY for bringing tho country community to its highest level of individual and community life. No other agent can talo its place, be rauso tho religious instinct is fundamental. Sooner or later any civilization that survives MUST RE DOMINATED BY RET.I OIOUS INFLUENCES.

WEEK'S EVENTS IN PORTLAND LETTER Portland, Oregon,, Jan. 14 (Special) The cause of irrigation never re ceived a greater boost in this state than during the convention of irriga tionists at Portland the past week. Never before has the cause of Irriga tion gathered so much support and the outlook for the future In this direction was never so promising as now. The convention attacked the subject from the standpoint of the settler and never lost sight of his Interest In the matter the w hole time. This IS as it should be for the actual Bettler it the land is the one most interested and the one who, above all others, should be con suited. l uls irrigation congress is right In line with the tremendous development movement now so gener ally under way throughout the whole state. It means more lands made avail ble for the farmer, greater wealth for Oregon and a greater and more pros perous population. The lay of the Oregon hen has been the subject of much thought on the part of the regents of the Oregon Agricultural College and they will seek funds from the legislature to establish a model poultry farm at Corvallis. The average hen in the state lays about 60 eggs In a year, while cham pion layers at the college have gone well past the 200 mark in a twelve month. It Is desired to develop a lay ing strain of poultry, and to sell the fowls and their eggs at a reasonable price to farmers is the object aimed at in establishing the poultry ranch. Fruit growers of the Rogue River Valley district have organized a co operative association, which Is expect ed to do much to bring about better marketing conditions. It is believed better distribution can be effected and the glut of the markets avoided, there by getting better prices for fruit. The Government will provide for road building through lands in thU state field in Forest reserves. An nouncement was made this week that a total of $16,077 has been set aside for building roads In 13 forest reserves In Oregon. Redmond had a notable celebration the past week when the big potato warehouse lately erected by the co operative efforts of farmers In that district was opened. This building marks the beginning of a movement among the farmers of Central Oregon whereby a better maiket Is offered for their products. Potatoes and other crops can be stored there and sold in large quantities when the market is best. To harness the Columbia River by means of a hydro-electric plant at Celilo, developing no less than 100,000 horse power, is the project of a stats senator, who will suggest his plan to the legislature in a bill. He believes the states of Oregon and Washington should build and operate this power plant. TEACHERS ARE TO MEET ONSATURDAY The second meeting of the Teachers' Conference to be held at the Hood Riv er High School building next Saturday at 2 p. m. promises something of es pecial interest to every teacher and patron in the county. City Superintendent J. O. McLaugh lin will have as his subject "Intensive Education." At the annual Teacher's Institute held in Hood River in Octo ber one of the strongest and most helpful addresses of the session was "Vitalizing Your Work" by Mr. Mc Laughlln. "Intensive Education" is a correlative address. Miss Howard, principal of the Park Street School, will tell the story of "The Other Wise Man." A good story Is a literary jewel, so be sure to hear this one. Two good musical numbers from the Hood River schools will complete the program. Parents, are you interested in the educational welfare of your child: Your attendance at such meetings as these evinces that interest and Is a source of mutual inspiration to your selves, the teachers and the children. Do you know that Hood River's schools are ranked among the best in the state? Don't you wish to see them ad vance still further? You are one of the factors in that advancement. NEW PIPE ORGAN IS JO BE HEARD The pipe organ, which Is being in stalled in the Asbury Methodist Epls copal church, by the Wicks ripe Or gan Company of Highland, 111., will bo heard at the services next Sunday morning and evening. The church has secured the services of Mrs. S. O. Oxborrow, the proficient and well- known musician , who will preside at the organ. A HINDU IDOL Its Strang History Caud Mm. Car net to Order It Dtroyd. When Mine. Curuot. widow of Sad Carnot. died and her will was read a clause In it caused considerable coui oieut. This was to the effect that a certain small Hindu Idol curved from a bard stone whl. Ii would be fouud among ber property must be taken out and crushed until completely destroyed. Many marveled at this apparently sin gular request, for the idol seemed a harmless, ugly little thing, but ber In structions were carried out to the let ter. The idol bad beta presented to Sad Carnot years before be bad ever thought of the presidency of France by a friend who bad brought it from In dia. Later be learned that there was a legend attached to It which asserted that whosoever would retain it In bis possession would rise to the fullest height of Kwer la bis chosen profes sion, but die of a stab wound when at the zenith of bis career. M. Carnot traced the history of the Idol and found that for 500 years the rulers wbo bad possessed it bad all lied either In battle or by assassination from stab wounds. Yet be laughed at the story, called the facts adduced by bis search a mere chain of coincidences and retained the Idol. He died by a dagger In the hands of an assassin; hence Mme. Carnot's strange request LURE OF THE MISTS. Curious Exprinc In th Cloud) In n Aaroplan. It was at Manchester. Aeroplane; were sweeping the skies In the circuit of Britain race. Vedrtnea had landed, and Impatient at the rules that made him wait ten minutes before taking up the race, went about Jabbering la Fmench. One of the officials asked him what kind of a trip be bad bad. Yed rlne'f answer was to bold np his bands' expressively. He was quiet for many seconds, then he said: "I was blanketed in clonds so that I could not see ten meters before me. Below me was nothing but rolling mist that gradually took on all fanciful shapes and colors. 1 caught myself wanting to descend, to drop suddenly Into it and see what It was like. To escape this feeling I flew higher and higher, no til. venturing to look down again, 1 saw wonderful lights and shadows that never before had been re vealed to ma from the sky. I saw a dreamy city, a wonderful mirage, and I believe I would have forgotten every thing but those exquisite colorings, re leased my levers, and" (He laughed.) "But I was fortunate, for I became sick as sick as a dog away op in the clouds."-Kdward Lyell Fox In Har per's Weekly STORK WAS BUSY HERE DURING 1912 Mr. Stork has been kept pretty busy bringing the little bundles of humanity into Hood River during the paat year.
