"Who wrote the Bible, God or Man?" Is it infallible? What is inspiration? The spirit of Biblical criticism, the beneficient results of the theory of evolution as applied to the study of the Bible. This is an opportunity to learn the Unitarian attitude toward the Bible. At the evening meeting at 6:30, Unitarianism will be considered in sonu of our beautiful poetry. The evening subject will be "Doubt." STRANAHAN HAS LAST BILL Senator Neuner's record of introduc ing a bill in the Senate at Salem on the 44th day of the session was gone one better yet by Representa tive Stranahan of this city. He intro duced a bill in the House on the 45th day. The bill took the number of 632, and under suspension of the rules, was put through to a third reading and pased, all in five minutes. It pro vides salary Increases for officials of Hood River fcounty. Mr. Stranahan bad a similar bill in the House early in the session, but withdrew it, thinking the blanket county bill would make it unneces sary. Fearing this might be killed in the Senate, however, he introduc ed it to make sure. ,.

A. Malboeuf told the Ad Club. These shipments should bring from $10,000,000 to $13,000,000 The shipments would normally go to the extreme Atlantic seaboard and the South American, African and Eu ropean markets. At present Northwestern apple men pay 50 cents a box in shipping apples to the Atlantic seaboard, and 20 cents more to land them in Europe, making a 70 cent charge a box as transporta tion outlay In reaching a big market which the growers feel will become important soon.

GIVES SERMON ON LIFEJFTER DEATH Preaching Sunday on the light after death, Rev. H. A. MacDonald outlined the Unitarian belief in substance as follows: "There is no death; What seems so is transition." Death may be spoken of the body, but not of the soul. In the soul's life there is no break, but it flows on and on without Interruptions. The life of the soul, its unhappinesa or happiness, depends on its character if it is obed ient to the high call of righteousness it filids peace, if it disobeys, it finds pain here below. In the life beyond we feel that it will abide by these same unchangeable: principles. Our thought is that as long as the soul is soul, as long as you are you, the life must grow by thf same laws that we know in this life. And so, since the greatest Joy in this life is growing in to larger selfhood, so in the future life, joy will come in the same way. Thus growing more perfect in char acter and in usefulness will be the soul's happy purpose. In this present life the happiness and unhappinesa are graded, and we fall short insofar as we are strong. The extent of wrong doing measures the intensity of pain, and mere indiffer ence brings little suffering as compar ed with wilful opposition to good and right. And fo we believe God has made the world that for each act of righteousness he rewards us to the extent of the worth of our act. Thus we think it must be in the life of death, all souls are to live on, govern ed by those principles of consequence for sin and results of right doing. If there is no break In the soul life the life beyonds begins where this one leaves off, and as we have sown here, so shall we be St the passing over of the soul. Everything is in our own keeping all depends on what we choose. In the future also, all will depend on the choice we make, and we shall have the same opportunities to choose. All life is one Immortality Is given us with our souls, and we hope to live on with the opportunity of en larging life even as we have learned to live upon the earth. In our earthly BELIEVE IN DIVERSIFYING While fruit crrnwlne Is ranidlv be coming one of the leading industries in Bayfield Co., Wis., it is well recogniz ed that any section which depends ex clusively on one Industry is not do ing its best. It Is one-sided and lack ing in the conditions which go to build up the strongest of agricultural communities. In one-crop farming where a large community is engaged in producing the samp line, there is too much danger of off years, and then the entire community must suffer. The farmers along the south shore country have grasped the Idea, and are not permitting their section to become an exclusive fruit community. Wisconsin is too great a dairying state for any portion of its valuable acres to be devoted exclusively to fruit. Dairying stock raising and general agriculture are receiving as much, If not more at tention in Bayfield and Douglas coun ties as fruit growing. Mrs. Archie Pierce of Odell went to Portland last week to undergo medical life we may choose to do wrong, and as a consequence we suffer. In the life after death we think we shall have the same power to choose, and the consequences will be the same pain, regret, remorse. And whatev er grief or suffering we have now, we shall carry with us. Life after death will bring us the same opportunity we now have of making good to some extent our past lives, of making new resolves, to mend our ways, to cast off the shackles of wrong and go for ward to a more righteous, manly or womanly life. We believe God's love is constant and whether on this earth or elsewhere he will invite us to give our lives to the building of character and to ser vice in His name. Everyday we neg lect to dedicate our souls to righteous ness, we Increase our sufferings and the life beyond will be so much harder. So if we wisely choose now for God and humanity,, we shall be building for an eternity that Is filled with peace and hope. ,T WAS Mr. Doolev who said that "ODDortunitv knocks at laste wanst at ivery man's dure, and sometimes it knocks so harrd that it knocks the dure in." We don't want tq knock your door in to tell you how. you can save a few dollars. But nevertheless a whole lot of people are overlooking an opportunity to make a saving. We have figured it out several times in our ads., and have seen it work out in actual practice, that a Power Sprayer is a cash saver. For the sake of argument, suppose a sprayer cost you $350.00 with full equipment, ready for work. We have cheaper machines with smaller capacity and higher priced ones with larger capacity but this $350.00 is an average. All right! The interest on this investment will amount to $27 a year. To operate the machine a full day will require three gallons of gasoline. We are putting this amount at three gallons because we cover the cost of lubricating oil also. As a matter of fact this is nearly twice as much as is actually neededbut for the sake of argument leave it at three gallons. This costs you 75c for full.10 hours run. Now suppose you have twenty acres in trees. You can cover this twenty acres in two -days but let's say it takes you three days. Three times 75c is $2.25. Now you will spray at least six times during the year. Six times $2.25 is $13.50. Now add your interest on the investment, $27, and we have a total of $40.50. This covers the entire cost of spraying material excepted, of course a twenty acre tract. Just a fraction over $2.02 per acre. Can you beat it with your hand pump? Not for twice the amount! Now suppose you don't know a thing about a gasoline engine. If you buy a sprayer from us, we teach you, and charge you absolutely nothing for our services. We keep your sprayer in repair and charge you nothing. All this service for a full year absolutely free. We keep a car just to make our service to you more efficient. We can afford to do this because we have the best sprayers on the market. They require less attention, and are easiest to repair in case of accident; If you should for get to drain your pump during the winter and it freezes, you have a small sub-base to buy. If you freeze some other pumps offered you, you have an entire new pump to buy at a cost over fifteen times as great. This is just one small point but it's a big point when you come to pay out good money foolishly. Investigate this one point and then come and ask us some others. We'll give you some good pointers straight from the shoulder. We sell the New Way Sprayers, made by the John Deere Plow Co., and the Hardie Sprayers, made by the Hardie Mfg. Co.
