THE LOGANBERRY INDUSTRY WILL,! LlVE
i
i
J -. 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

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 . ; -

,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."

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-

' it goes to weeds, white if we wish' wheat we must fight for
' "J.: every grain of it ? 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

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. An astonish
ing thing Is the further: fact that
a man could go Hungary for al
most two centuries and thrive
on it.

School Girl of Fifteen : "
Wins Fame As Artist
When Pamela Binaca was only
four years old her parents' -were
surprised to find that she could
draw pictures. They were not at
all like the scrlbbly drawings that
little children usually make, and
they .couldn't understand how ahe
could draw so well without Jbeing
taught. - Of course they thought
their child was wonderful, as alt
parents should, but when her lit
tle I drawings r were shown - jto
world-renowned artist and he ex
claimed over them and said. that
surely little Pamela was a, gen
ius, tneyi knew that they were
right., :-- v-. i -
Pamela has spent most of her
time ever since drawing and paint
ing and now when she is only 15
years old-her pictures are being !
llkl).l In . mil..).. .IJ. 1 t
side with those of the greatest ar- ,
tists, and critics are amazed at )
the perfection they show in every
detail. Her work . Is so natural
for her. that It seems that her pic-
tures . grow under her brush or
pencil without any, effort at all. f j '
She has a style of art that Is dis
tinctly her own and the only fear . t
the' admirers of her pictures have j
is that she. will be Influenced too J
much by the work xf older artists.,
Her father is Italian, so It Islr.
probable that Pamela inherits he
talent from the early Italian mas-
ters. Critics say that her work !
also shows a spirited thoughtf ul
ness .which she has Inherited from
her English mother. The birds and i
flowers, the sea and the moun
tains; everything in nature seems J
to tell beautiful stories for, her
which she transfers to her canvas, t
for others to enjoy too. )
