All freight rates are reflected in the price the producer
'obtains for his crops and in the cost of the products to the
consumer. All are therefore interested in eliminating this
obviously unfair practice affecting Salem and other points

bjing back the policy that our country had for 61 years, from
189 to 1850, when there was a preferential duty in favor of
American ships in foreign trade, this would .happen:'
. jj The shipping board would be able to sefi about 5,000,000
tfjns of ships' to private citizens at fair prices; these ships
would be operated inforeign trade by these private4 citizens,
aftd their operation for years would prevent a rise in ocean
freight fates) a numbir-of ships would be taken out of our
prohibitivejy prptected Coastwise trade and run in foreign
trade; the country would be using its own ships for its own
. foreign citfirytngf 'their earnings would stay " at" home, and
tjeir use would strengthen the United States upon the Yea,
T&nere it is weak; we should preserve for possible need in the
Mergency pf war vast numbers of merchant ships that are as
J- a xi i?l e j t -r ' !
tennai 10 me national aeiense as warsnips are. in snort tne
oation would be protected and the welfare of the people would
Ife' safeguarded if adequate protection were but restored to
roerican ships Operating jn foreign' trade.
g i There can be no question about all the above state-
ttents : ' -f?, ' ; "
1 For history proves them. In the 61 years in which we
ad preferential duties in favor of American bottoms, the
American merchant marine was built up to a point where it
was the-envy of other nations and the pride of our own.
This policy would cost nothings but would add millions
. v. -Today is Thrift and Conservation day in the "American
Education Week" nrocram. Its observance in the schools is
a, remmuer oi tne progress raaae in correlating scnuoi in
struction with life's real activities.
Thrift instruction in the schools has resulted since its
introduction in recent years, in increasing greatly the number
of bank depositors. And with the saving habit learned and
practiced the youthful depositors learn also to make wise
investments which are secondary only to savings since more
han a billion dollars were lost last year in this country in
get-rich-schemes.
The teaching of thrift in the schools stimulates empha
sis of thrift in the homes. It is an urge to parents to save
and to encourage their children to save and to save for a
purpose. Among the objects of saving on the part of both is
or education of the children and for homes with music,
books and other educational features. The effect of such
mpelling motives upon children is that they save definitely
and systematically.
Conservation and thrift are usually inseparable. Con
servation of health is as essential as emphasizing the more
directly economic features of life. Conservation of ability is
also expressed in the high school development of both rural
and urban boys, and girls. And this kind of conservation
results T in ' F constantly "increasing numberof high ischopls
made accessible to rural boys and girls.
SchobPSfficialsfarents and teachers should give special
consideration to thrift and conservation as essential to the
4
proper training of the boys and girls in both school and home.
The response to this educational appeal should be enthusiastic
and general.
The people of the United States over subscribed the
Italian $100,000,000 lqan four times. Which gives an idea
of what the people of this country think of a government that
is sane and is conducted along the lines of common honesty
f:
ftnnually to our national treasury.
' In4 the name of common sense, why does not Congress
readopt the policy of the fathers of our Republic?
, . And quit mooning about federal operation of our ships,
Bud about ship subsidies of various kinds?

v t So shrewd an observer as the Hon. David Lloyd George is of the
Jppinion that no country can hope to rival the prosperity of the United
states, on account of the existence of prohibition in bis country. And
tfhjs checks up by inference with the opinion of ex-Ambassador Gerard

J The long and short haul freight rate is a pertinent ques
Ht,ion for shippers. It is anlEspecially.vitalquestion'for the
Pacific coast district. Frequent violations of-the law make
J the situation ridiculous as well as serious. K ' , , 1

non their way to Portland, yet for a similar shipment from

this is but one illustration of rate discriminations forced in

Backed by the business and agricultural interests of this

able to make a good showing in favor of the bill The officers
and executive committee of the, Washington-Idaho division of
Taking Jesus in Earnest" was
the subject of the sermon by Rev.
Fred C. Taylor in the First Meth
odist church Sunday evening. It
was the -closing : service of the
series of Fellowship Meditation'
conducted during the past week by1
the Epworth leagues of the church
and was a union service of the
young people and the evening con
gregation. -
"Taking Jesus in earnest means
the pledging anew of an allegiance
to Him who is the alpha and1
omega, the autnor ana unisner,
the unique and ultimate of air
life's hopes and ideals," said-Mr:
Taylor In opening his message to
the.young people. "We seek more
light and help from Him, who is
our pattern in all things, and pur
pose to check our lives by His per
fect life and pray for His likeness.
Jesus has the authority to an
swer our problems and the suf
ficiency to satisfy our needs. He
holds the supremacy and pre-eminence
among all men to challenge
our thought and command the
loyalty of our lives. An ever in
creasing multitude of people bear
testimony of Hisinspiration and
blessings ; -They agrpe with H. G.
Wells in giving Jesu the first
place among the great men of his
tory and with those in Jesus' day
who said, "Never man spake like
this man." and "I find no fault
in Him."
"He builtno temple, yet the far
thest sea
Can yield no shore that's barren
of Hip place.
For bended knee.
He wrote no book, and yet His
words and prayer - ' , J ,
Are intimate on myriad tongues,
Are counsel-everywhere.
He built no kingdom, yet a king
from youth -He
reigned, is reigning yet, they
call His realm
The Kingdom of the Truth."
Taking Jesus-in earnest means
taking His Person in earnest. The
Bible teaches that Jesus had a Di
vine personality. He was the Son
of God manifest in the flesh to be
the Savious of men. The belief
of the Methodist church is, "We
believe in Jesus Christ, God's -only
begotten Son.. Not In a divine ex
emplar merely. Not in , a God
tilled 'man merely. Not in. a re
ligions genius, than whom there
Is none borne greater among the
sons of men. Dut in the Lord of
Gldry, God manifest in the flesh,
co-eternaf and one in the God
head with the Father.
Unless we take the" Person of
Jesus in earnest first of all and
accept' Him as the Son i of God,
there may be a margin in our re
ligious faith and thinking that wIU
be hard to explain and overcome.
We should take the work of
Jesu In earnest. His humanitar
ian ministry and His redemptive
work and His mediatorial work.
He was a doer of miracles as Nico
demus confessed Him. But his
signs and wonders were only inci
dental to His true mission to this
world." He came to bring life, and
that, more abundantly He came
to make an atonement for sin and
Christianity. She was a dweller
in the Roman colony of Philippi,
Macedonia; a dealer in fine pur
ple cloth for a firm In her native
city of Thyatlra, Asia Minor, and
'one that worshipped God." or a
propTyte from paganism to Juda-
istq On the" second missionary
ourney Paul and Silas found her
engaged- in prayer with some other
women of the city. Her story is
instructive for us."
She was in the way of good,
where prayer was wont to be
made." Anyone who prays has a
closer walk with God; his mind
energized to bring his practice up
to his preaching; and preserves
the power of vision and growth.
Her heart was open to the Divine
message: "Whose heart the Lord
opened." ' God always comes to
those, of open heart. Her mind
was open for instruction; "she
attended unto the words that were
spoken by Paul."
The Spirit helps those who try.
He is no reminder to a vacuum.
but will fill any mind character
ized by open-minded teachable
ness. Her mouth was oDen. too.
Bnmed.'ately she confessed Christ
openly was baptized as a public
sign of her faith; and began to
testify to the power of Christ.
There is no true impression
without expression. Her manner
of expression witnessed to the
depth of her impression. She
opened her home in Christian hos
pitality, and entertained Christ's
missionaries; "she constrained
them." Her hand was open in
generous giving and support of
Christ's church. "
An open heart, open miud, open
mouth to testify, an open home to
entertain for, Christ, and. an open
nana to practice tne grace of glv
ing these are the qualities of a
converted person. Lydia acquired
them all by frequenting the plaee
of prayer. God always answers
those who call upon Him. "Seek
Je the Lord while He may be
found; call ye upon Him while He
is near; let the wicked forsake
his way and the unrighteous man
his thoughts, and let him return
unto the Lord, and He will have
mercy upon him, and to our God,
for He will abundantly pardon."
NOW "GRANDPA" D0NEY

AND MRS. PAUL DOXEY

BEBRIES ' GIVEN CARE
GROWERS IX DISTRICT ARE
'TRAINING VINES LOW
Extraordinary care is being
taken by loganberry raisers
throughout the Willamette valley,
according to Earl Pearcy, who has
Just completed a tour of several
of the yards of the berries. He
says that the farmers are training
the vines low. this year instead of
putting them up on wires as was
formerly the custom. -
The weather -this fall has been
very favorable-to the canes, Mr.
Pearcy state, and the yards are
generally in excellent condition
The. canes are not bowed yet as
they have been at times formerly
and appear to be quite limber.
To prevent frost from injuring
the canes. Will McGilchrist has
covered his with straw. Some of
the growers have cut the old canes
and have used them to cover the
ounger ones.
life were all beautiful and exem
plar but there were also the Geth
semane, the cross and the tomb.
Paul wrote: "God commended
His love toward in that while, we
were yet slnnersj Christ died for
us." "He loved us and gave Him
self for us that he might redeem
us from all iniquity and purify
unto Hhnself a peculiar people
h zealous of good works" W
should take the teachings of Jesu
in earnest. The late President
Harding said. "The woTld needs
the spirit of the Man of Nazereth
If we can bring into the relation
ships of humanity, the brother
hood taught by Jesus, we would
have a restored world." ' So im
pressed was Abraham Lincoln with
the teachings of Jesus that he Is
reported to have said," "When I
find a church that will be content
to write over its doors 4thou;haJt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, mind, aoul and- strength,
and thy neighbor as thyself,' I am
ready to join that church."
We need to take the spiritual
teachings of Jesus in earnest and
His social teachings and teachings
on Ideals and life and eternity.
Jesus taught the love of -the Fath
er; the power of, faith;" the nature
of sin; .the need of repentance;
the glory! of sacrifice;-1 the duty of
forgiventesj-the reward of prayer;
the joy of giving; the -beauty of
brotherhood and the hope of heav
en. When we take His teachings
In earnest and articulate them in
every thought, word and deed in
the world, we will have the re?
incarnation of Jesus in heart
ideals, human society and world
civilization. - Thus we pray with
Wblttier. i. -
"O Lord and- Master of us all.
Whate'er our name or sign;
We o.we thy sway, we hear thy call
We test our lives by tjhine."

' "We Would See Jesus"
Test: John 12:21)
Sermon delivered Sunday morn
ing by R. L. Putnam, minister.
.Court street Christian church.
It was Tuesday in the last week
of Jesus' ministry. Jesus was in
the temple in Jerusalem. Certain
Greeks, probably converts to Ju-
diasm, came to see Jesus. They
came to the apostle, Philip, in
their quest. He went to Andrew
htr bbth tell Jesus. Jesus' reply
Is very significant. He said: ''The
hour is come that the Son of Man
should be glorified." Most cer
tain a forecasting of the extension
of the gospel to the Gentiles in the
conversion of Cornelius. (Acts 10)
This request of these Greeks.
"We would see Jesus," is in real
ity the cry of every human soul
Jrurdened with sin. Not necessar
ily aii audible cry. More often an
inner most longing crushed into
silence.
Three classes of individuals ut
ter this cry. First, those who are
Indifferent to their soul's craving
after God. There is the atheist
the man who tries to make him
self believe there is no god.
Then comes the infidel, who
professes not to believe in Christi
anity- Even Ingersoll, standing by
his brother's coffin, expressed hope
beyond. To this class may be add
ed the pleasure seekers, business
men and toilers who take no time
foe spiritual things.- and- those
prejudiced because of preconceived
notions' concerning everything
Christian.
Second, those good-intentioned
folks who let other things contin
ually usurp their time and atten
tion from -the Christian life and
simply neglect their soul's salva
tion through procrastination
Third, - those sincere, honest
conscientious ones -who are con
cerned about their future life but
are confused because of the babal
of voices that would tell them
what to do to be saved. They
would see Jesus. It is the inner
most longing of every heart.
is the business of the Christian
church to point, all such to the
Lamb of God on His own terms
and conditions of obedience as re-
yealed in the New Testament
