For the hon or of ts generations yet unborn it was tecessary to lire the clean . life, the courageous life, the Etrennou3 life with everyl sin and - weight and obstacle cast aside. It made one thrill - at the titanic struggle. 'r.-r v', The r?eakr shifted the scene to - titr:.-r u .vajrartae mere physical picture of the race coarse.-. The christian of today was represented as being watched over by. the great cloud of wit nesses who hare kept the Chris tian faith for the past 2,000 years. The ilaster says, "Loot to me, 'the master, the director, for guidance, and for court er and for strength; and lay aside every obstacle that keeps you from making the best face of life that Is in you.'f r 'The Lord never asks us to do anything that he did notfdar,"' said the. speaker. Vln his own life, he ' endured shame, .and Insult, "and death, laying aside even "his life as an. obstacle that must be put away on the. road to the cross and the resurrection- ire laid aside Joy.., and family," and friends. To show the perfect life ; or sacrifice for the sake of love." .Following this argument, the STeakpr used many Illustrations of the faithfulness that is unto death.

"Since the disease has in fected herds there have been $2,- 800,000 spent for the slaughter of livestock in addition to whatever has been spent in an effort to con trol the disease. If the: disease si reads as rapidly in the next eight months as it has in the las') five weeks, covering a distance of sev eral hundreds of miles, the dam age will be excessive. Should the disease spread to' Oregon "in pro portion to the way it has infected California - livestock . the state r-ould soon be bankrupt.": ; Mr. Durbin told of one herd of 800 cows, valued between $100 and $1000 each, near Los Angeles that had been slaughtered. ' This herd was the finest In the United States. Another large herd of a different breed of 600 cows, near San Francisco, was also killed, he said. Mr." Durbin nrged that the citizens of the state stand behind Gover nor Pierce and his embargo upon fiuits and vegetables as a precau tionary method to prevent possible si lead of disease into the state. The governor Is doing a wonderful work : for a wonderful state, Mr. Durbin said, and is displaying a great amount of backbone in or dering the embargo In the face of hundreds of telegrams which havei been received from the south ask ing" that the ban' of -produce pbe raised. . r r. r- -: : The KIwanis club went on rec ord with a vote of confidence in the attitude taken by( Governor Pierce in protecting the interests of Oregon.

The plan of the council was pr i sented by Merritt Davis, spokes man, with Pearl Holt, Leila Re d and O.' H. Horning as other men bers of the committee.. ' ' ' In rejecting the proposal tne board held that the extra month of school, aside from salaries, would mean the expenditure of nearly $60,000 In operating expenses, and that there were no funds available for this purpose. Salem is not yet ready for a 10 months term,' the board said, but if the teachers could 'conceive of any plan where by the money might be 'obtained, the beard expressed willingness if give the plan a trial. '. The report of the committee ws based upon a' questionnaire sent to superintendents' of the following schools where the 10 months plan is In vogue" Portland, Astoria, Bend, Med ford, .North "Bend, Bad don, Marsh field, Pendleton, Klam ath Falls and Hood River. From research the teachers held ; that the djajUaxea.aed-Jtl; schools would -be able to accom plish more along educational lines:, would reduce the number of fail ures and thus reduce the length of time many must be in school, hence be an economy; -would lay a better foundation for high school work; would result in less street life for students; would provide a longer continued and more effic ient use of the school plant, and would result in a better contented teaching force by stabilizing the profession and nearly providing yearly 'salaries; prevent long Vaca tions and 'consequent waste of time; permit rmore thorough re view of work along all lines; In a measure tend to overcome loss of time caused by epidemics, etc., and would permit more individual Instruction and there would be less pressure on teachers and pu pils to do a year's work."' ' The report also showed in de tail that the additional cost for the 10 months terra would 'amount to $19,586.93. The board point ed out that extra salaries.' such as librarian, janitor, heat,' light and general maintenance would make the overhead too great. ; v The board signed a contract with Paul J. Sullivan, district sales representative of the Fred Medart Manufacturing company, for 60 Inch steel lockers, the number to be determined ' by the architect. It is expected that between 500 and 600-will be needed. W. C, Knighton, the architect, -will be advised' of the change of locker sizes, as original plans called for 72-Inch lockers and space provided accordingly.' r' ,-,:- Approval of the educational thrift'service in the public schools was given last night by the school board after the plan had been ex plained by Henry L.

' The' service is offered free of charge to the schools, the banks meeting whatever expenditures are necessary. . ' ' '"! ' " As explained by Mr. Wilson, the service is continued through the cooperation of one or more banks. Coupon books are furnished the students, and one student in each room is selected as cashier. The money is placed in a sealed enve lope and delivered to the princi pal's office where it is collected by the bank 'once a week." The student cannot withdraw the money from the bank without the permission of the parents. Tbe service Is designed to ' stimulate thrift in young people.
