PUREBRED STOCK
College Youth Not Only One
Working for Degrees at
This Time
College youths are not the only
ones working for degrees these
days.
The livestock grower who
agrees to use purebred sires ex
clusively in raising all classes of
animals on his farm is presented
by the Department of Agriculture
and state agricultural colleges
with a diploma, emblematic of his
interest in the '"Better Sires-Better
Stock" educational campaign.
In addition, he is given a lith
ographed barn sign resembling a
metal tablet whieh he is author
ized to display.
t Realizing that widespread use
of inferior male breeding animals
has been for many years a cause
of low production per animal and
of needlessly poor quality, the de
partment launched the "Better
Sires-Better Stock" campaign
eight years ago as one of several
plans to bring about increased ef
ficiency in the production of meats
and dairy and poultry commodi
ties. Special 'emphasis was placed on
the improvement of purebred male
breeding stock for the reason that
a male has a great many more
progeny than the average female,
the ratio being approximately 20
to 1 for most classes -of livestock.
A total of 1703 growers had
enrolled in the campaign tip to
April 1. Animals, exclusive of
fowls, undergoing improvement,

SECOND COMB OF

Teacfier Takes to Task a
Reputed Theologian
Editor Statesman:
Some days ago a "reputed"
theologian cam ali the way from
Portland tp tell some of pur stu
dents what he knew (?) about
the second coming of Christ. He
said: "The second coming meant
that Christ was living here and
now not a coming event."
Christ 1il conre to this earth
manifesting God -in the flesh
born of a virgin aocordiitg to
prophecy. "Behold, a virgin shall
conceive and bear a son, and shall
call his name IouuanuoL" (mean
ing God with us).
He lived with men here on
earth for 33 years, three years of
that time spent in His earthly
ministry in preparing His disci
ples to po on, with His work.
There came a time His time
when he suffered and died and
rose again the third day. He
walked and talked with many. He
had told his diciples that He was
going to leave them. "It is ex
pedient for you that I go away;
for if I go not away, the Comfort

I depart, I will send him unto you

American Legion's Program
Consists of Minimum Set
of Four Laws
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Spe
cial) Another victory has been
won by the 'American Legion in
its campaign for the passage of
improved child welfare legislation
in various states, Howard P. Sav
age, national commander, an
nounced today upon receiving
word that a bill, sponsored by the
Legion in Massachusetts, has
been signed by the governor. Sim
ilar legislation is receiving the
active support in other, states.
Commander Savage said, as the
public comes to understand more
and more the need of it.
In Massachusetts Governor Ful
ler signed the bill, ' then presented
the quill he used to John D. Crow
ley, chairman of the state welfare
committee of the Legion, in rec
osnition of the work he did. In
Georgia, where the legislature
meets this mojith, the decks have
been cleard for one of the most
thorough ehild welfare sets of
laws in the country; and in Wis
consin a bill urged by the Iegion
has received a favorable hearing
by the senate legislative com
mittee, and awaits enaction.
Other victories in the Legion's
recentlv innno-iimter) nimnairn
also have been recorded, first in
New Hampshire, then in Penn
sylvania, West Virginia. Missouri.
Arizona and Indiana.
The Legion's program consists
of a minimum set of four laws.;
compiled by State Senator Sher
man W. Child, of Minneapolis,
vice chairman of the Legion's Na
tional Child Welfare Committee.
Some states already have these
four provisions, but in nearly ev
ery instance there is some flaw
that makes one or more of them
inoperative. These four provis
ions are:
1 A good, workable desertion
and non-support law that will
make extradition easy.
2 A good, workable widowed
motber allowance law that will
allow a mother to support her
children in their own home.
3 Unpaid-county child welfare
boards.
4 A central state eWld wel
fare bureau.
The legislation in- Massachu
setts was an argendment to the
Soldiers' Relief law. and Tnakes it
possible to provide aid to de
pendent children under 18 years
of aee in order that they may
complete a high school education.
The age limit had been IB. It alao
provides aid for the "settled"
widows and children of veterans
who entered the military service
from some other state, the wid
ows later becoming citizens of
Massachusetts.

HILO. Hawaii. Madame. Pele,
goddess of fire, has shown herself,
and Ma una Loa,. towering in the
center of ttie island, is full .of
molten lava. To Hawaiians this
means but - one -thing lava flow.
According' to pr. Thomas A.
Jagger, chief of the-volcanology
division of the United States Geo
logic Survey, the volcano is full of
fire. Ireat floods of raoltfen lava
are seething and surging about
within the crater from 6.000 to
7,000 feet above the town. Soon
it may be only, a matter of weeks,'
this molten mass will break the
mountain orjSIL, spurting fiery
fountains into the sky and run
ning in red-hof rivers to threaten
the town beneath.
But the prediction of geolo
gists means nothing to Hawaiians.
It, Is only when Madame Pele
"appears" that they believe an
eruption wilt come to pass. And
Madame Pele has shown herself,
according to legend. She came In
the guise of an old woman to a
native on the beach at Kuhio, re
questing food and lodging for, the
night. When the native turned
to assist , her she was gone, van
ished in a flash, and behind, on
the beach, she left her sign, a pile
of "devil bones."; The "appear
ance" of Madame Pele with her
"devil bones" never has failed to
bring an eruption. "Predictions of
geologists have failed often. This
time the two concur and, high
above, the mountain is 'grumbling
its assent.

Jason tee's Influence" irt
Saving Oregon Country ,
to the United States -
By W. T. RIO DON '
Most of the historians who hav
written of the Oregqn conntry and ,
the subsequent division into states
have started with the discovery of
the Columbia river in the . year
1792. But as 'Jason Lec was not
born forjll years after ihls event,
it seems to methat;he was not In.
any way responsible for Cray's,
lack of vision In not seeing that'
ho had accomplished what a. hun
dred sea captaius had tried to do
beiore. f Although Oray's discov
ery, no doubt,- was somewhat re
sponsible for Lee's destiny."
Neither will I link Leo back to
Astor'a expedition and bis great
fiasco, nor. the" causes "for 1 oc
currence. Although that overland
expedition may liave helped tn
i?uide Lee's party;" over the moun
tains some 23 years thereafter'.
The expedition of Lewis and
Clark, possibly, opened the way
for Lee. Lewis and Clark made
their preparation for that trip the
very year that Jason Lee was
born. From ; that time'-Oregon
"was a burning question. FJnst
with the fur traders &Sd tha trap
pers and the hunters, and after
wards' with the missionaries and
the intending settlers.
5Iy story is for the purpose of
inquiring Into -and, if possible,
to determine and show the part
which Jason Lee and the Metho
dists played in civiliiing and sav
ing this territory to the United
States." ' -
In telling a story one must havo
a ptarting point. There may be,
and In truth there must be, many
prior conditions and circumstanc
es which have a bearing, on the
subject under consideration. Thi

how far back Into antiquity one

hours and 15 minutes, which was
much- faster than that of some of
the two-legged professional moun

northeast shoulder over the gla
