God and You
LENTEN MEDITATION
By the Rev, Charles Stelzle
i .
God offers; a challenge to men.
His Religion centers in the cross of Jesus.
, He frankly appeals to men to answer the call "come and suffer."
The path to which He calls may lead to Golgotha.
, He wants men who are ready to wear the crown of thorns.
The whole world Is groaning for the leadership of men who are
made of martyr stuffmen who are ready to "tread the winepress of
sorrow."-- j?:'4J .-,4 .'
1 i. because of such hat tOod goes marching on."
THE MUCH HERALDED PRUNE SURVEY
The much heralded prune survey carried on by experts of
the United States department of agriculture, reporting to the
Salem meeting on Tuesday, made these conclusions, jn brief :
. Improved methods of MERCHANDISING, including stan
dardization, better packing, distribution, and increased con
sumer demand, must be had
Else prices will not be better
And itf is suggested that consumers should be led to
realize that there are two kinds of prunes; the Italian tart
sweet type and the California sweet type.
State legislation is suggested for standardization
; And it is suggested that the methods of preparing Italian
prunes should be taught the consumers
y) And that is about all there is to the conclusions. Good
conclusions. Wise suggestions j
But any man in- the industry could have made the same
conclusion without a survey. j
What the prune industry needs is near 100 per dent cooper
ation, and a greater than Moses is needed to bring jthis about.
If a good business man could be put in charge of the industry,
like the California cooperatives do, a market would be found
forTall the prunes, and at living prices. What would have
become of j the California orange and lemon and grape fruit
industries j without this? They would have been ks dead as
Julius Caesar. So would the California raisin industry, and
peach and apricot industries, and those having to do vith
walnuts and beans and rice and cotton and a dozen others.
, -Every .Oregon and-Washington and Idaho prune can be
marketed jat a profit. It is, as the government: experts con-
elude, a matter of merchandising
rfAnd this includes the whole long line from the fertilizing
of the orchards to the proper cooking-of the product in the
homes and hotels of this country and other countries.
- iLet itj be known wherever there is a possible customer
what a rojral fruit the prune is, and then make it possible for
vuai, vuawiuw mj wuy uie yrouuet at a reasonaoie price, ana
there will be no over production of prunes, though the ton
nage be doubled and more ; and the industry will be stabilized.
. I .
' ; Looked like blossom day might be about a week from
Sunday, with a continuance of the, bright sunshin. But it
was raining last night, and it jnay rain, some more. So blos
som day may he put off till two weeks from Sunday, or even
longer. It depends mostly on he blossoming of the prune
trees. They make the biggest part of the great show.
A school of trades will give us the experts we need in our
industrial development. It will give us men to push ahead
the development of our great potential resources. Let's have
the school of trades, in the East school building. It will do
a great deal to advertise the progress of Salem. It will bring
us population of the kind we need..
. -r Whatever happens now, Salem will finally own her
water works. It will be only a question of how much she
will pay. j If she waits, it may cost her a couple of hundred
thousand to a million dollars more. Or still more, if she
waits still longer. That's all there is to it. It is unthinkable
that Salem will pay tribute permanently to private ownership
ot her water-system. "

THE ELECTRIC AGE
, : rThis is the age of electricity. The material progress of the
world is marked by machines-;- '' f I 5 :-V-! 1
4 The steam engine began our present industrial; era
vHigh speed steel and alloy steel mark milestones in our
progress, which have Veen instrumental in greatly reducing
costs and; hence increasing prosperity. Mass production is
another step; it vastly increased output and thii lowered
COStS- ' ;- .cv; fs: t..
And .there have been many other advances of equal or
less importance which, collectively, have changed the econom
ic status of mankind to the point where'the most lowly laborer
of f today enjoys, as a matter of course, conveniences which
the most famous and; powerful monarch of a hundred years
agd could not have ' " ' : " ; ': -
;.And now comes arc -welding; electric welding, called arc
welding on account 65 the shape of the welding light;" shaped
like an arc. V . - -':' '
v This process is more important than I most of us have
realized.. The replacement pf the riveted or bolted joint, by
welding makes possible a reduction - of. weight and ? cpsliof
machines and structures. It allows substitution of one metal
for another. Steel may replace castings, bringing many econ
omies. Recently 90 miles of steel electric welded pipe was
laid, taking 40 per cent less metal than would have, been
needed for a riveted pipe; the savins: being 50,000 tons of
steel. Now the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
have accepted custody of f 17,500 from the Lincoln Electric
company of Cleveland, Ohio, to be offered in prizes of $10,000,
$5000 and $2500 for. suggested improvements in methods of
arc (electric) welding.
The address of the Society is 29 West 39th street, New
York City.
Perhaps some one in Oregon may compete
Surely we would have competitors here if we had the East
school. building already turned into a trades school.
Who knows but we may develop a Henry Ford, or a West
inghouse? 2
The age of electricity will do more and more for Salem
and the Willamette valley, where we may harness the water
powers running to waste and fill this whole valley with the
hum of the wheeJs of industry.
We have the potential natural resources to maintain a
hundred times our present population
And, in this age of electricity, our water powers make up
one of the greatest resources we have. We need only to
develop leaders who know how to use the resources which we
possess.

TO ENTER CONTEST
Many From Salem Contrib
ute to Support of School
Organization.
The Salem high school band
will enter the fourth annual high
school band contest to be held at
Corvallis under auspices of the
Oregon Agricultural " College to
morrow. The state training school
band which was also invited to
enter will not do so, it was stated
yesterday. The group was dis
banded sometime ago because of
a contagion.
A number of local organiza
tions and peple have contributed
to support of the band which has
been practicing hard during the
past few weeks in preparation for
the contest- Among those who
have donated to the cause are the
student body. Mr. and Mrs. F. S.
Lamport, Dan J. Fry. Sr.. T. A.
Livesley, and the Elsinore thea
ter. The members of the band pay
dues of $2.50 and furnish their
own uniforms.
Tn the contest tomorrow each
band will be required to play
KelerBela's "Lustpiel Overture,"
Rosas "Impassioned Dreams,"
and a warming up march of its
own choice. Tba Salem group
will play "El Capitan," by Sousa.
A loving cup will be given as first
prize, and another for second
prize. Other prizes will be donat
ed by business houses of Corvallis
and Portland.
The personnel includes: Clario
nets,' Abe Vaughn, Malcolm Grab
er, Rollin Graber, Kenneth Grab
er. Everett Tasto, and Charles
Kinney; cornets, Melvin Dungan,
Tom Downs, Matthew Burgomeis
ter. and Frederick Remington;
piccolo. Otto "Mier;; saxophones,

furnishes the alto horn used by
Robert Wiens.
Leaders and student managers
of the bands represented will meet
at 10:30 in the morning of the
day of the contest to consider a
state high school band associa
tion. This was suggested to H.
L. Beard, professor of band in
