Hut, paradoxical as it may nound, the growing of more logan berries will make it easier to get more pickers for hoth the old and the new yards. i . .,, . . T . And' thejcloser together the yards, the easier will the picking problem be.5" ; " The only time, last season, when the frig yards were short of pickers was after a scare had gone forth that the crop would be short, on account of the unseasonably dry weather. ' Whole families will go to the yards, from the cities and towns and out of way places, coming from considerable distances, if they can be assured of a full season's work, and good accommodatins. s All members of families can earn money in the loganberry yards, excepting the very small children. It used to be said that the hop yards of the Willamette valley used 50,000 pickers, at the height of the season. The. loganberry yards ought, in a few years, to use more than 50,000 pickers. And they can be had, if more and more berries are grown, and grown in yards close together, so that pickers may be shifted; and so that the pickers may have a long season of picking. The loganberry is a food product. t furnishes the basis for many articles of food used by the army and navy. It is as much a patriotic duty to raise more loganberries as to raise any other food product on the farm; and a small acreage yields a very large supply. - Planting of more loganberries provides in a profitable way for the diversification of crops, which is needed here. ; Again, 1000 more farmers, in the central Willamette valley, ought, in the next thirty days, to set out one to three or four acres . m . i . . l ' i a. , . i. : a. r : cacn oi loganoerries, in oruer 10 save able and permanent. There must be enough potatoes, too, guaranteed to insure the starch factory for Salem. The raising of more potatoes will not interfere with the loganberry industry. , There is room for both, and for many other branches of diversified and intensified farming. Plant more loganberries. This valley cannot remain the Io cs n berry headquarters of the world without planting more loganberries --and still more, and yet more. The shortage of men since the be ginning of the war can be noted in many of the city churches. Are they all on the west front? - Stories of germ-laden balloons that floated across the lines from the German front are related by mem bers of the American ambulance ser vice. Crimson toy balloons are a favorite Instrument of unofficial communication with the allies in the trenches when the Germans have de pressing news to make known. It has been discovered, however, that the little red messengers frequently carry also deadly germs intended to breed epidemics, and now no soldier la permitted to touch one until It has been subjected to careful exam ination by "the medical corps. President Wilson would be very sorry to see the Fourth of July cele bration omitted this year, as sugges ted by Congressman Johnson of Washington, but he says: "I think the celebrations this year should take the simplest and most dignified form, and that it would be in the public interest as well as In eminent ly good form to make them as inex pensive as possible." Where every body helps things do not cost much, and that should be the fact in re gard to any observance of Indepen dence day. There will be plenty of time for elaborate Independence day celebrations when the war for the independence of the world from au tocratic domination has been won. Some one suggests that we might help the cause of democracy best by working a little harder on the Fourth of July in order to catch up with the production that has been lost. There will be plenty of time to think the whole thing over be fore June 'ends. Whatver may be the general decision. It is safe to pre dict that far less money will be burn ed in the United States on Indepen dence day than has been customary All kinds of war work will be in order at that time, and all the time. Anything that will help win the war will be appropriate. Dr. Walter R. Weiser of Spring field, Mass., major in the medical service and stationed just now at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., home on a brief business trip, observes strict military reticence, but the Republi can of that city says if any challenge id his .presence Uncle Sam's care of ' his soldiers in camp, they irlll bo put in the way or knowing how far . they have strayed from the facts.

Oregon, as second class matter me inuusiry aim mane n prum Every one whose memory goes back to other wars in which this country has engaged, will appreciate the con trast that is afforded by the condi tions of today. There is so much more of cheer in our military prepar ations than ever before that pessi mists find' comparatively poor pok ing. . Our task may be the greatest we have ever undertaken, but those charged with authority and respon sibility are not sleeping on the Job, tut tackling difficulties with cour age, and getting results. Things are moving and moving well on tae whole. To boost and help is the duty cf every citizen, and there is cheer in !the unanimity with which, men and women are working to the one great end' of making the world safe for democracy. As fuller understand ing is gained of the magnitude of the nation's task the more resolutely and systematically must we dedicate ourselves to the great business of winning this war for the freedom of i the world. The men in France, in the cantonments, and wherever they are in the service of their coun try and of humanity in the great war, are uniformly cheerful, confi dent and ready for whatever assign ments, and whatever sacrifices, may come. KEEP WINDOWS OPEN. It Is all very well to pray for the end of the war, but a friend suggests that when we do so to have our win dows opened right. When Daniel was in captivity and all prayer except for the king had been forbidden, Daniel continued to pray, and the conspirators saw that he feerlessly kept his windows op ened toward Jerusalem. TESTA3IEXTH FOR SOLDIERS. The National War Work council of the Y. M. C. A. has ordered 500, 000 more New Testaments, makln? a total of 1,700,000 bought by the association for army men during the last few months. The Testaments re sent to the camps all over the country, but the greatest demand for them comes from Texas. The director in charge of the distribution says it is impossible to keep, enough of them on hand to meet the demand WILL HISTOUY REPEAT ITSELF? i Just as the prtsent chief execu tive of our country has the -"lucky thirteen letters In lis name, so is the present arch-foe o freedom and democracy burdened with a title that includes the "unlucky II." The nu neral "II" was regarded by the Ro mans as exceedingly unlucky, and. when reading history, it would seem it, has proved so with dynasties. It is recorded in English history that Etbelreti II. the Unready, brought disaster upon himself anu ui.on Britain. ll.'rold II was killed at the battle of Hastings. William ii of England was killed by an ar row in the New Forest. Edward II was defeated at Itannockburn, Charles II had to fight for his throne and James II was deposed. The same thing is noticeable in French. Russian and German history John II of France was captured at the battle of Poictiers. Charles II of Anjou was in t-aptiviy most of his life. Alexis II. son of Peter the Great cf Russia, was condemned to death for treason, and died in prison. A le st tier II of Russia was assassinated, and Nicholas if of Russia has been driven into exile. Francis II of Germany was beaten by! Napoleon, and if the superstition concerning the evil influence of the numeral "II" upon kings holds good Wlllian II of Germany, who is re sponsible for the present war. is certain to come to a bad end. THE LORD'S VISE YARD. A Sunday school teacher in Den ver prides herself on the fact that she taught General Pershing h'a first prayers. All honor to her for teaching such a man how to pray. The general's last prayer was an swered when ' he requested the Al mighty to send him in person against the incarnate demon of earth. HOW LONG SHOULD A SERMON i RE? ' How long ought a sermon to be? Also how deep and how wide? " Is there any warrant for a narrow one? Shoud a sermon be measured by its cubic content? I These inquiries have been prompt ed . through noting divergent opin ions in two of the country's leading religious publications. In one of them the writer made a piteous argument for the old-fashioned sermon that filled about and hour and a half In its delivery Those were the grand old days when there was no Sunday morning paper to claim the attention of the head of the house. The family started off for church before 9 o'clock in the morning and possibly took their lunch with them and made a day of it. The sermon was divided undor Leadings and when the preacher got to "seventhly" he metaphorically rolled up bis . sleeves and took a fresh hold. He kept It up until both he and the congregation were ex bausted and many had sought refuge in slumber. The sermon was many fathoms long and as deep as a well. It was ax return to this form of religious expiation or soul-baltiug that one theologian urged. , In the other publication another churchman took a radically different view. He deprecated a growing ten tiency to lengthen sermons to fort? minutes. He had timed a number of twenty and thirty-minute preach ers and they were getting dangerous- '.y near the forty-minute mark. Thir ty minutes was really too long for any sermon and any pastor who could not deliver his message in that time was a sluggish and slothful messenger. It Is hard to start a fight with this idea. In connection with the argument there is the story about the appear ance of that eminent long-range vo calist, W. Jennings Bryan, at Har vard University. Before taking the platform the Nebraskan asked tha professor who was to preside how much time would be permitted hint The professor replied that he could have all the time he wished, but he added the statement that the faculty had held Judgment on many pul piteers and orators who had gone before and had agreed that none of (hem had said anything after the first twenty minutes. The vener able boy orator accepted the hint and spoke for less than thirty minutes. There are often demands for an orator to speak louder, but seldom or never longer. Before the day of the Pullman diner, when every passenger train had to stop at eating houses along the line to entertain the interior de partments of the tourists, twenty minutes was held to be sufficient for the most ample meal of the day. When the dinner station was reach ed the conductor and brakeman would appear at their respective ITTl'HE DATE! March- 11. Monday.

Of -ourse when one is writing for the papers and magazines it is a dif ferent matter vastly different, you know- yet here coruies our punctil ious editor with thj ancient argu ment that the story of the creation was told in less than 600 words. Sure! Hut that wjas when word were scarce. That was before Web ster and the Standard and the Cen tury" people had put ljortb their richly-upholstered volunjes containing 400,000 words coutfT 'em. If Oiie cf these magazine writers were now turned loose on a narrative of the creation he would have a couple of pale blonde stenographers working in shifts for the rest of the year. It is related that a correspondent of a metropolitan newspaper wired the telegraph editor, giving hirii a "flash" of a great disaster, and ask ing bow many words he could use. The answer was, 1000 words. Th correspondent wired back that it wa. impossible for him to cover, the "story" in 1000 words, when the obdurate telegraph editor replied, re fusing more than 1000 words, and saying the story of the creation was told (in Genesis) in 600 words. The great Agass!z once told a con fidential friend that when he first, took up a professorship at Berne, h-j was made aware of the fact that the usual class lecture period was forty five minutes. He laid his open watch before him. and wondered how he could take up so much time. He declared that he told all he knew in fifteen minutes, and then went on repeating himself for the next thirty minutes, and that be had been doing the same thing ever since! So we may as well be consistent, and admit that twenty minutes is long enough for anything except to say good night to your girl. ! BITS FOR BREAKFAST g ; .
