His living expenses have risen jest as fast and as far as yours. But he is paid on the average just 52 cents . more per church member than he was paid 34 years ago. ' The Minister Niwet Fails You Every officer of the Government with a war message to deliver appealed to the ministers first ofalL But 80 of the ministers receive less income than goverriment economists figure as' a minimum for the support of an average family. When hospitals need money they enlist the. support jf the ministers and receive it But when sickness visits the minister or the merrily rs of his family they must be treated in a charij y ward. His pay is less than a day laborer's. 8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than $20 a week about half the pay of a mechanic We Pay Him Half the Wage of a Mechanic And of these pitifully inadequate salaries, how much do yu contribute? Nothing if you are outside the church; an average of less than 3c a day ii you are a church member. All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to the community. They marry ua; bury us,' baptize our children; visit us when we are sick. In their hands is the spiritual training of the youth. We Are All Profiteers at Their Expense Part of the Interchurch World program is this a living . wege for every minister of Jesus Christ; an efficient plant, and a chance to do a big man's job. If you want better preachers, help to pay the preachers better. It's the best investment for your community and lor your children that you can ever make.

This is a good season to teach t ie hen with a wandering disposi tion that the one and only place to scratch is in her own hen yard. Hiram Johnson appears to have run so hard and so fast in the Mich igan contest that he has been un able to recover his wind and has made but a sorry showing in the primaries of the past week. Advertising, properly handled, is not an expense but an investment and one that is capable of yielding big returns. Good advertising re quires no tricks; just a little horse sense. Select what you have that the people want and then proceed plainly to tell them about it. The proposed millage tax for the University, Agricultural college and Normal makes a tax per year of $1.26 on every thousand assessed valuation. Of this, the tax for the Normal is 6 cents for eacn thou sand dollar of assessed valuation. A good cigar costs more than that. Now before the grass gets too much of a start is a good time to rake up the rubbish from the road sides and back lots. Ditto the bal ing wire and barrel hoops. There will be that much less hardware to dull the edge of the scythe or get into the sickle (if the mower. The Oregon Geological commis sion puts out a booklet this week in which is published findings of an investigation into the oil possibili ties of Western Oregon. As a re sult the survey which was made by specialists from Texas finds the out look poor. Only in the vicinity of Newport was oil indication encoun tered and there no bright hopes were held out. They find that much of the ruck of the Oregon coast had its origin in fire, a de cidedly unfriendly element to epe troleum deposits. The Germans trained a nation of soldiers by laying stress on drills and the panoply and mechanism of war. In America we are training our people to thought and judg ment by making each voter acquire a knowledge of and a decision on public questions for himself. Such matters as the amendments to be voted on in May offer a mental dis cipline that is bound to result in a quickened intelligence among the people. The reader will perhaps remem ber the milk strike that took place two years ago among the dairymen around Chicago; how they stopped the flood of milK that pours into the city daily and won the right to dictate prices on the milk they sold, a right that heretofore had been ex ercised by the dealers. This victo ry resulted in the formation of a co-operative marketing association which acts as a selling agent be tween the farmers and the milk dealers. The marketing association is having its first tryout as an insti tution for the dairymen right now. March first, the Nestles company which has a number of large plants in the district, announced that it would not deal with the marketing association but with the farmers as individuals. Now th association is at work utilizing means1 of dis posing of the milk its patrons pro duce in channels other than through the NVstles company. They have bought machinery and are planning in plate to tuild large factories as an outVt for the milk. On a amallerjacale these con tests have been an annual occur rence, but now the hrnerj have a more thorough organization than they ever before bad and the out come of the contest will be !ook 'd forward to with Interest. The proposed two mills school tux will go a long way to equalize tax es. As we understand it this is not an increase in school taxes but sim-' ply a rhangtj in the method of rais ing them. This law proposes to tax all the properly of the county equally and then apportion the money among the districts according to the number of grade teachers employed. Any one will readily see that under this plan the country districts will get more in proportion than the city districts' for in the country the average number of pup ils per teacher is fewer. At the same time it will enable such dis tricts as the Monmouth district to receive a more equitable proportion of its school income, for at present and for years put it has been the custom of this distirct to educate the children from neighboring dis tricts, the tax payers of which es cape their proportion of school ex pense and yet profit through the enterprise of Monmouth citizens. Under the 2 mill plan it will be no more profitable to live In one dis trict than in another. The 2 mill tax plan will also act to increase the population of the state. At present it is the custom of owners of large timber.tracts and also of large acreages of wheat land in Eastern Oregon, to fight the small schools for these bring in people and tend to increase taxes and make it more expensive to hold their lands. A great deal of this land will be reached by this pro posed law that is not now reached and cannot be reached under the system where each district levies its own tax.

They are, how ever, most valu able foods, ond as sweets are molt wholesome for chil dren. Stuffed dates are so well known that It Is unnecessary to speak of them, though a variety of stuffing may he used to vary them. Stuffed with a rich cream cheese and chopped nuts, they make a most dainty finish to a dinner, serving crackers with them and the small cupful of coffee. Date Cake. Cream half a cupful of shortening, add three-fourths of a cup ful of sugar, one well beaten pick, a cupful of sour milk, In which has been dissolved a teasponnful of soda.
