Secretary, at Zurirh. Swit zerland, of; the Federal Council of Churches of Chri&tian America.) Along all lines there is in evi dence a new spirit of cooperation among the churches of Europe. The very difficulties and trials through which the churches have passed, in the economic aftermath of the, war, have served to drive them together. Important cooperation has been evidenced in the relief work car ried on by; the Central Bureau for Relief of the Evangelical Churches of Europe. An interdenomina tional and international organiza tion, this bureau has served to .unite those' churches which have been in a posintion to help in a common cause. The relief which has been af forded In the past four years has demonstrated to the afflicted churches a new measure of soli darity in Protestantism. As the bureau continues its work and de votes 1 more and more attention to constructive efforts for the com plete rehabilitation or the church life of Europe it should serve in creasingly as a rallying point of the Christian forces ofihe Old World and the New.

Botsford, of theBotsford Constantine Advertising company, the well known advertising agen cy,, delivered at the prune hiar keting conference at Corvallis, should be of interest to every one in Oregon, for the prune industry and its stabilization affects every one in this state:) In order to advertise, any man ufacturer or industry must pos sess a considerable degree of vis ion. There must be a great burn ing desire on the part of one man, a group .of ment or, as in your case, a -very large group of producers, to actually solve their selling problem and to make a complete success of their busi ness.. Advertising is one of the most supreme forces yet known in the business world to accom plish this result. . Usually when a real campaign of advertising Is decided upon, he other essential things such as uniformity of quality, sales organiration, etc., can be put into shape and proper ly correlated so that when the consumer-demand is created by advertising, the product lives up in every way-to the claims which are made for it. During the past few years we have witnessed some wonderful demonstrations of how advertis ing can be successfully applied to products of the soil. What has been accomplished for the clt tus fruits, for raisins, for cran berries, etc., is well known' to all of you. ' With most of these products the function of advertis ing was through education,- to convince the f consumer that the product possessed merit ' and that -moreiif- it -could be consumed to advantage by the public.
