"Faith is an absolute necessity," declared Evangelist Stivers. : As proof he showed that ninety-five per cent of all business is transact ed on faith. He - declared the greatest need of the world is faith in God. The basis of Christian faith is the New Testament. In this connection he emphasized the fact that nothing can be religious ly right and scripturally wrong. His theme tonight will be New Testament Repentance."

Speaking before' a large audi ence of poultry raisers from as far south as Junction City and north to Canby and Aurora, Dr. M. A. Jull, head fo the poultry division of the United States Department of Agriculture, yesterday ex plained a uniform plan to be put in force in all states, for the credi- tation and certification of chick ens. The plan,; as outlined at the Chamber of Commerce meeting, was adopted by the standardiza tion conference held at Manhattan, Kansas, in August, when repre sentatives of all states were pres ent. Dr. Jull represented the problems of the poultry raiser as shown by a triangle various seg ments being In reality sanitation. i the base, constitutional vigor of stock: accreditation, certifica tion, certification registration and advanced registration. Copies of the plan, with con tained detailed analysis of poul try diseases and standardization were distributed. Dr. Jull, who is making a, tour of the northwest, was introduced by A. G.

The contract for plastering has been taken by David L.. Hoggan, one of the biggest men in his line on the coast. He had the contract 4for plastering the Elks temple, also the Parrish junior high school. He hurries his work. That is the only chance he has of mak ing any profit on it. S S Mr. Hoggan says that it costs no more now to plaster a big building than it did 15 years ago, though materials cost twice as much, and labor is twice as high. The Becret is machinery, and short cuts getting the thing done. And it is better done, too. Metal lath is to be used in the Elsinore. Mr. Hoggan says the season makes no difference, with such buildings. It is as well built in the rainy season as in the dry. The Trader should sea the flax plant at the penitentiary, la oper atlon. It is wonderful, in com parison with what one saw after the fire of 1923. Nearly all the machinery has been ; brought in side the walls. All the rest of it will be brought In. There is a barbed wire fence around' the stacks of flax straw. It Is to have gates with locks. It Is planned to have humidifiers so that scutching can be carried on in the dry season. John Quin land, the chief engineer and man in charge, has put up an experi mental winter retting tank, and Is putting in an experimental dry ing plant,, with the idea of retting and drying in the rainy season- The drying is on the principles of a prune dryer, with forced draft. These experimental plants are built with materials and applianc es that were on hand. They are costing nothing. The labor is free and more than willing. -, If the thing works, it will be the first time n history. But Henry Ford thinks it can be done. He is working on it; that is, winter dry ing of retted flax. John Quinland, is as likely to get it as Henry Ford is. tor John Quinland is as much of a genius as Henry. He isn't advertised as much, that ' is all. They are both men of genius. The trick in the artificial drying of retted flax is to give it the "life." or pliability, that sunlight gives. It has never yet been done in all history. But it will be, of course. Somebody will Ret it. If not Henry Ford or John Quin land, then some one else. A great man's hardest task is to keep qn being great. Stationery Special Genuine Lawn Paper in five different col ors.
