The $30(000 fund being secured under the auspices of he Portland Chamber o Commerce is proposed to be expend ?cd for three objects J i ivVTo aid in cooperative marketing of farm products To get needed settlers on the land . ! To stimulate tourist travel. K The first aim is the most important; for! the stabiliz- ne of the farniine industries, with remunerative prices for 'nha nrorlnpta f tho land, will hrintr the needed settlers. J Tourist travel will help in this, too; besides the direct Lbenef its that will come from the expenditure of large sums of money annually by the tourists. ; , ! r- j , Oregon is already alive as she has not 'before been to the importance of the need of cooperative marketing. The condition of the loganberry market is a case in point, that jhwill not soon lose its force in this direction- 1 j - -f Vtnd do not fear that the loganberry industry will not persist ; :.

' " t " THE THINGS NEEDFUL .v (Copyrighted by The San Jose Mercury.) f The Jutiie , Century has a unique! , article by a young preacher fresh from a theologies seminary, entitled "What I Should Like to Preach." There are many good things in the article, but the writer, full of youthful eagerness and en thusiasm, looking for something to bring the forward-looking youns people of every nation to the church upon a broad plat- fyfonn of unity, seems, to think tjiat a brotherly spirit of co- operation and a desire to give to others, to the-world, the I best wq haVe, together with a -deep reverence for what: he denominates personality and a belief in immortality, will . .ike such a platform. ''!.tir4.;i!.ifv; ""'The' scientist and the believer in evolution, seeing that liic ths whole universe is one constant progression from lower: to higher iorms,. wax eloquent over ' the ' wonderful vision of a world ever moving upward and onward under the impulse given it ty its Creator. They seem to think that the ' world will go on in this progression just the same, whether ' what we do tends to help on or to retard it. Many modern 1 ists in religqn are also in danger of concluding that all relig- ion needs is to keep in line with this progress, by adapting itself to the discoveries of advancing knowledge and bring . ! inz its beliefs, its creeds and its dogmas up to date. They ! are obsessed with a groundless optimism that looks for prog- ? ria and the triumph, ox good u we but keep step witn aa- vancmsr intelligence. - ' i . ; - , . The young preacher, the scientist and many modernists s i ? - - j : : it: iL.i u..4-l.,1 :AirlA in reiixion are in aanjrer oi lunceuuix uuxt. ucauuiui, uiumu- ,iialr human character, which theyf all unite in praising and about the necessity for the development of which they all agree, comes not by drifting even with a constantly progres sing world, but by conscious effort, by regeneration of the individual: and that so far as the world of humanity is con cerned, without this regeneration there is Absolutely no chance for the realization of their visions of brotherly co operation, respect for personality and the end of war, in justice and brutality among men. . ,... Cherishintr hiirh ideals, even Christian ideals, is not religion br Christianity. Belief in immortality; even abso lute knowledge of its truth is not. Respect for personality and toleration for others views and idiosyncrasies is not. Our beliefs or the acceptance of any dogma or creed, even when publicly avowed." is not. Nothing short of a relization in in dividual.- character of- Christian ideals, nothing less than a Christian life,is religion or Christianity. An acceptance of this .truth -by professors of Christianity generally and an honest attempt to actualize it in their daily conduct are the things needful, today, as they always have been since Chris tianity came to the world. i Paganism is waiting for this brand of K Christianity which alone can: demonstrate that i of men, begins to "work and make itself felt in' the conscious life, there is little hope for real social progress. The one thing needful is that the "light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world" shall begin to burn for all men. The fire that this light will kindle will burn up the rubbish of the natural, carnal life, and will light the fires of love, unselfish ness and service that must guide men from the darkness and misery in which the world now j gropes into the dawn of the new day. . . - j." u . . . I. v ; : . . I -. j . No, the world;is not needing new systems oireligonj It is not waiting for restatements of old beliefs. Its great jack isTiot so much new and broader platforms .upon" which all phases of religions may unitedly stand, however desirable that may be. The present paramount need is that men shbuld everywhere be turning to God and opening the heart to receive His spirit, that they, should catch the spirit of Christ which shall come to so possess them that it shall be the living, breathing, dominating force of their daily lives. This may sound trite and ancient, but it is the living truth. Let the young preacher catch this spirit and the world will hear and heed his message. If this light be burning for him he will be able to start it in the hearts of ethers. With out it his preaching will be only empty words, mere sounding brass and tinkling cymbals that may catch the ear, but are powerless to quicken the spirit or transform the life. "Our little systems have their day ; They have their day and cease to be ; . They are but broken lights of Thee, V And Thou,' O Lord, art more than, they." Pick all the loganberries.- Then ; attending any public or private organize 100 per cent and adver tise. Put part of pur Idle acres Into flax, and build linen mills, and ft will be only a short time till all the Idle water jpowere in the Sa lem district are! in use. President' Harding and the mem bers of his party have earned the rest of two days they are having in Yellowstone park. They will be on the way of their strenuous life again tomorrow.. How would the idle gossips rolling under their tongues the doings of unfortunate little girls, sinned against by members of their ; households, have there un comfortable girls - disposed of? Who will- take them, and keep them, if the doors of the Deacon ess hospital are shut to them? The motion picture industry is to be Invoked to check radical ism and Irreliglon. j Entire Sun day school programs have been prepared and standardized involv ing short-reel pictures to be inter larded with other 'religious teach ing" and these are to be followed later with pictures for maturer minds dealing with divorce, ra dicalism and other problems. A pictured Bible story supplements the sermon and doubles the attendance. If no fa single "independent" grower is left unorganized In the Salem district, ' and there is In telligent and - persistent advertis ing for the consumer " market. there will be a demand after this year for all the loganberries, at remunerative prices, and the in dustry will be kept going and growing. ' There is : no sense I in plowing up any of the vines in well located and well cultivated yards. .There are plenty of peo ple in the United States, and in other countries, who will be glad to buy all the loganberries pro duced, if they are convinced that the loganberry is the best bush fruit that grows and it is. And the market will take an annually increasing tonnage, under such auspices. i . school, academy, feemlnary, jol lege, university, or other jeduca tional Institution within the state of Oregon. Each of the four prize winners will also receive a hand some bronze medal. The following rules and terms of competition have been adopted (C) All. essays : submitted in competition win, be num bered and submitted, without the names of te writers or v other Identifying marka, to . 'three Judges selected by the undersigned committee. v AH competitive essays wil be judged according to their general merit and excel- lence, but. the judges will also take into consideration inx passing thereonneatnesa of manuscript, accurate ortbo-, graphy. cprrec grammar "and composition, and .purity .antfxj ciaruy or aicuon. The snbject, "The John Jacob Astor Expedition," has numerous phases. Among the matters that a writer may consider are (a) the expedition, its .. conception, pur pose, personnel and accomplish ment; (b) , the founding of As toria; (c) the Tonquin tragedy; (d) the hardships of the Hunt parly; (e) creation of the Inter ior fur trade; (f) connections with the British fur companies; (g) political importance of- the expe dition; (h) its relation to the joint occupation of Oregon; (i) the expedition as a forerunner of the settlement of Oregon by the missionaries and the ox - team pioneers; These are merely : sug gestive matters, however, and the scope and character of treatment of the subject are optional with the individual writer. i- The Oregpn state library In Salem has a reading list or biblio graphy upon the ahpve-named sub- and prescribed and "are to! be ob served by the competing essayists: ! iect and its various phases which Xhristianity is a practicajaliiy8jd tion or an idealtikcrtheir own religion and all others. . Dr. Fosdick of New York, regarded by many as a dang- ; croiis radical in religion, in his last book, "Christianity and Progrt;ss.M most truthfully declares: "All the progress this t world will ever know waits upon the conquest of sin.

Whyls it that f we let human nature run ' .Joose it goes to evil, "while he who would be virtuous must . festruggle to achieve character? It is because, in spite of our -optimisms and' evasions,' that fact still is here, which our fathers, 'often appraised more truly than we, that human nature, with all its magnificent possibilities, is like the earth's .'soil, filled with age-long seeds and roots of. evil growth, and that progress in goodness, whether personal or social, must be " achieved by grace of some power which can give us the ' '.victory 'over our evil natures."' U i ? Let no loganberry ! grower get discouraged. Look at the raisin growers. They were worse than busted, and Fresno, the raisin cap ital, was bankrupt beyond appar- entghope. The raisin growers or ganized; they became one of the greatest producers' cooperative as sociations in the world. They be gan advertising raisins. Last year they expended two and : a , half million dollars ' in advertising, They made the taisin industry very prosperous. They made. Fres no one' of the richest - cities ' per capita in the entire world.. THE AGED RECORD There is a recoraijof 'one Peter Torton. a Hungarian, who lived for 185 years and thereby estab lished the, longest record known since biblical days.
