LOGANBERRY MEN STANDING PAT The loganberry growers of the Salem district are standing pat for five cents a pound A - And at their meeting in Salem yesterday afternoon they made a good beginning of their work of forming a selUngvor ganixation that will bind them close together in cooperative efforts' to keep the industry going and growing. 1 i Not a single grower has been heard of who has entertained offers to sell his berries below the five cents, a pound demand ed as the lowest price that will admit of paying for the picking, the two- cents a pound that must be paid to get this work done, and leave a bare three cents for all the other expenses and the overhead and rent or taxes of the men who produce the berries . And a tenth of a cent a pound to advertise for a consumer market, to help the canners and packers to pass on the product. So far so good. -. ; i ! Now let every last man sign. ' Let it be made .100 per .cent, and the loganberry industry will be stabilized.4 It will be kept ; going and growing. " v ,- - . RELIGION AND THIS LIFE t TCopyri ahted by the San J ose Mercury) - In the mythological stages of the development of .the hu liaa race religion was conceived of as a means of escaping the inalevolence of demons or the anger of the gods, as manifested in this world, and had little or no relation to any; possible 'fu ture life.i "When Christianity came to the world this pagan-Conception seems still to have persisted, only the results of this malevolence and. anger were to come to meni not chiefly in this life, but in the world to come. This is only, one of many ex amples of a well grounded pagan idea adapting itself ' to the new religion even though it was entirely out of harmony with the teaching of the founder of Christianity . T " ' ; Jesus emphasized, not. the anger, but the love of God and declared that 'God is not a God of the dead but of the living.' lie revealed a religion for this world. : The kingdom of God which lie came to bring was not a system of local government to' be inaugurated in some r future time or in some far away place." "The Kingdom of God that he revealed is to come in the hearts of men.. - Here the -Spirit of 'God. is to reign. Does lie not say, "The Kingdom of God cometh not wiih ob servation. Neither shall men say, Jjo, here Charlotte Perkins tiuman, in, a,recent or lo, there! for, notable articleoir religion m the .Century .Magazine, truthfully declares: "The religion which urges moskof the real race improvement is that of Jesus. : lie taught unmistakably-of God in. man, of heaven here, that the love and service of humanity is worship. ' But ocr death complex was too strong even for His teachings. What lie taught us to pray and work for here was . ignored . in our i eagerness to get to heaven- through ' His Virtues. The Christian belief has been taught all over the world, but it has not established connection with life. Its revivalists still make their passionate, appeal on a basis of what is to happen to you fter death." As a yesnlt, "In this twentieth 'century we have seen Christian Europe hating and fighting exactly as did heath en Europe in the past. Christian Germany has left a record of conduct which we may mildly term inconsistent': with that faith." 5 f . r-;-i : , ; - ' i - ; -j ' " ' --. '. Our ideas concerning heaven and the purpose and nccsssity of religion must be revolutionized before Christianity "can be come a living: reality to the world. We must eorae to under stand that Jesus taught that heaven is .not a place, but a con dition of purity, harmony and love to j. bo. established in the individual human life; that religion is not for the purpose of enabling us to reach any local heaven r to escape any local hell in the world to come, but is to help lis to reach this heaven ly condition . of individual life here or I wherever we may be ; indeed, that religion is the .attainment and manifestation of this heavenly condition and' nothing short of this is religion:"'' The hell that we need to escape is right, here and is creat ed by : the domination of our beastly, animal, physical, fleshly passions, appetitesand propensities. The j world has recently had "and is still having ample demonstration of this hell and will continue to have such : demonstration until men get out of their hellish condition, until the evil in them is overcome with good. And haying really, escaped from this hell in them selves men will not need to fear any hell outside of them ; and they will not wastQime. dreaming about a far away heaven when they have attained the kingdom of heaven within preach ed of and revealed by Jesus. ' , J : The beautiful things of the most ieautiful spiritual Jheaven that imagination can picture would bpjlost upon one who had no spiritual development to enable b,ini to understand or ap preciate j these beauties. One must be heavenly in life to be able to enjoy any heaven, and having the kingdom of heaven actually developed within him he will enjoy thi heaven where ever he is. Even if there e the local heaven so long preached of, the most beautiful things about itf are not its streets of gold or walls of jasper, but the heavenly, angelic beings, supposed to inhabit it. " There is: nothing j on jearth or anywhere else in creation that can compare in, beauty Iwith an angelic spirit that has overcome the flesh and to whom the kingdom of God is an ever present reality, Such a spirit, jwhen the religion revealed by Jesus has become a reality td this world will, not be such a rarity as it has thus far been in the history of men. May we not hope that the world will soon awake to the truth that to dream about heaven dpes not help much it any to brine heaven and to banish hell tipon the earth t Nay, more, is . - ' . ... . . ? i- t it too much to expect tne world to soon reacn a staie u. miru; eence where it will know that a! religion which does not mani fest itself in life and conduct here lis not one that will save us from anvthinsr in the future lifef i As a mere belief in God by devils, according to Jesus, does n0t change them from devils into angels, so belief in God and fhrist by unregenerate men will not transform them unless they catch "the Christ apirit and incorporate it and the love and attributes of God in theirdaUy lives. t iV," " -- i i i , i . - y Charlotte Perkins Oilman, in the article referred to above, voices the hope that must be entertained by all fforward-look- ing believers 1 in Christ, i She saysl "When religion ceases to concentrate its attention on death land turns it upon life and the improvement of life, there will Ibe no difficulty in inducing people to 'accept religion.! It ViD be of such visible, joyous tise that no rational being can rejeet it. With such help we can soon utirrow such disgraceful diseases as war and poverty we shall blush at the memory of intemperance and the social evil our ehildren will grow up in ihe assured hope of a better world of their own making and the daily glory of making.it.

SEVEX SHARP v- t "On time" was the motto of Fred; "He's on the dot,' people said; He boasted that he : i , Was prompt as could be But once he let1 Time get ahead. ' "The Freshman class will hold a roast this evening. Meet at the high school at sewen : 6 HARP." Slowly and laboriously Fred Cush- man, the class president, printed it on the board. 'Every one there on time!" - , : ; "That's a good idea1 agreed Miss Sloan, who was to be one of the chaperones. "I promised to hate you back by 10 o'clock, la it far?" , , . l "Yon know where I live, don't you?" asked Fred. "The roast will be In. our woods. Oh. don't you know where it Is? Well, that won't make any difference, j I'll be there to show you the way." "But won't It hurry you to go home and get back by ' seven? Maybe we could 'arrange to meet you out there." :. j ... i k. : " "I'll stay in town for supper." Fred explained. "I think I'd bet ter be along to show you the' best and "shortest way out." !- ; ! Fred went to the Y. M, C. A. for his supper.- After he bad eaten he settled himself In the lobby to enjoy .the evening paper. He had over an hour before time to start. Fred decided that he. would go to .the high school about ten of sev en." ' We wanted to be the first one there. He smiled to himself. 'They all think I'm a nut about being on time," he thought, ."but it's a good idea. There's "no sense In- being late : to everything the way most people are." At 20 minutes of eeern Fred started out. He was ? not much surprised; tt find the steps still deserted when he reached ; the high ischool. It was early yet, and vbeople would not start to come) until about tfve to seven. W1 a A. mm joui av nve or seven sun no one had arrived. That seemed rather queerf He couldn't even see any one coming aown tne street, Fin- any the town clock struck and still the steps were deserted, ex cept for Fred. j "What In the world can be the trouble!" thought Fred. ; "You wouldn't think the whole class would be late. Maybe no one is coming. r But Where's the commit- ico iuu mti cuapcruues; ii was too much for him. He waited 10 minutes longer, but when still no one came, he decided to go home. ' As he went ud the lane he saw a light in the woods and heard voices! Rushing out to the woods he found the class , fathered around the fire toasting marsh mallows and "weenies?" "Where have you been?'? they greeted him as Fred appeared oat of the darkness. "We waited and waited, and when you didn't come we,ecjded you would be out here. We never knew you could be late any1 place." ; ; "But it's only a little after sev en now," Fred stanituered. tVf 'j "Oh." every one .laughed. "Is that ihe trouble? Didn't you re member that the "town went on daylight saving time .this noon? It's softer eight now." The oldest person' in the films is a colored man who passed the century mark four years ago.

' I Li :- .- v:- PURELY STATISTICAL Twenty-five J years ago j there were no automobiles in the world.

I , No such a- change in a nation's habits has ever before been chron icled in so short a space of time. Try to imagine! the effect of this general speeding up and multiplic ity of wheels on the psychology of the peopled l The average pace ! of human travel has advanced from about 10 to nearly 1 30 miles an hour. : 1 ;; j ;; ;' That is to say, our thoughts, our nerves, jour hopes,! our fears, our actions..' our very lives are moving three times as fast as they were a quarter century ago. ; And every day w are making two wheels turn where one wheel -turned be fore. v ;? ;.f:i;'-".f..i;'-.;."'i-;:'-'. ; The law of relativity is Inexor ible. J; In throwing our lives into high we are stepping on the flight of time, j The; days are shorter, the hoars are 'passing more, rap idly. Our business, our pleasures, our. ambitions -are all set to the speed limit;! and when no one's looking we furtively exceed it. The tendency, too, is for a great er number of; wheels, for ; more speed. As time goes faster we have to go faster to maintain our lead; and In" doing so we once again increase the relative flight of time. ' Thus by the automobile, through the law of relativity, we are well on the way to the annlhi latlon of distance. ; ! , When we annihilate distance we shall at the; same time annihilate ourselves. ,,We may then all go up to heaven, as did Elijah of old, each In his chariot of fire.

South seas. It should be created and held under mandate of the League of Nations and be a spot, where the philoso phers, thinkers and hermits of all races might peacefully indulge their thoughts and dreams. It would be a sort of a lotus land for poets and visionaries a- rest for the brainy: ' The Idea is attractive, but to try to group the hard think ers, of the world is as ' impossible as to herd the hard drinkers fa a single , cell. The League of Na tions would have to work overtime to i keep the peace. The six-toed hermit from Alaska' would be com plaining because the hump-backed recluse of Ireland was shutting off some of his sunshine.' Instead of being an Isle of rest and peace if would be a domain of discord and controversy . The presence of the 70,000 (or is it 700,000?); who are writing scenarios, for, Ameri can movies would not ( add to the amiability of the place.
