TT IS (rue that effort lias been nuido lo suppress facts - concerning what the hoard of regents ot the Uni versity of Oregon did at their meetings. It is true not only that facts concerning their transactions. Uave not been made promptly available, but that they have been withheld. It is true that representatives of the press have not been admitted at those meetings and that their efforts to obtain news of what was being done while tho meetings were in progress were repulsed. Tho press has been dependent for its information ns to what tho board of regents were doing upon state ments issued by the university administration. Every body who has had experience in the matter knows that this is true. If the board of regents did not know that this was the method followed it should have known it. To say that the board did not know that misleading and incomplete statements concerning its meetings were being issued to tho press is begging tho question. Those statements came through tho regular channel of com munication from the board to the public. Senator Fisk, ns a member of tho board, declares there has been no etlort by the board to Uoltt back any thing. Less than 24 hours beforo the last meeting of tho board Senator Fisk was asked by I ho Guard what business of importance was likely to come up at the meeting. J lis answer in effect was that nothing'worthy of mention was coming up. Opinions differ in Eugeno and in university circles as to tho merits of tho actions taken by the regents at their last meeting. To say that their course is uni versally condemned is incorrect. To say that it is gen erally approved is likewise incorrect. AVJint is cer tain beyond nrgumcnt is that tho facts as to what the regents had dono wero suppressed at the university. The Church and Advertising. THAT was a remarkably strong testimonial to the value of newspaper advertising which Dr. 10. V. Sfivers, pastor of the First ('hrinliun church, delivered from his pulpit Sunday evening. r. Stivers preaches lo ono of tho largest congregations in Oregon. The fact that gives greatest value to the minister's conclusions regarding his subject is that those conclusions are based on a practical tlemnnmrntion that tins extended over a period of years. . Says Dr. Stivers: I began in a very modest way, In tho faeo of criticism on Hie part of my own members anil of tho city, anil especially on the part of my brother ministers. Yet wo have built up ono of tho most largely attended Huntlay evening ttorvlcos in tho state of Oregon, and overy department of tho church has felt I ho Impact of this kind of publicity. I enn any to y'oti franlily that consistent, continual, hiiuo, truthful advertising hnH been ono of tiio most Important factors In tho transformation. Of course when folkB cotnn they numt not bo tlisiippolnted', hut tho advytlslng gets them there. Those statements enrrv conviction wil.h them. Equally logical with them is tho minister's answer to the tamiliar argument that the church is above adver tising, or that it has nothing to advertise. 1 lo says: Thn Idea seems to bo that tho church, becnuso It Is n divine. Institution, has nothing to advertise. Hut die church really has been advertising practically all her history. Church bells, tower chlmos, steeples, wero tho molhods in Iho past. AndjDr. Stivers' summary of conclusions is quite ono of tho finest tributes from tho pulpit to tho press, as well ifs to the value of church advertising that we liavo rend. He says: My firm conviction after years of advertising In church work Is lhat thn best means of advertising Is In tho newspapers. It adds dignity to your cause. It rem lies tho greatest number of peoplo. and It links tho church with the greatest influence In the world today, outside of thn church Itself. Newspaper advertising alone will not build up a church, as Dr. Stivers points out. "Of course, when folks come, they must not, be disappointed," ho ex plains. Hut it has been made perfectly apparent, through tho experience of the First Christian church here, ns well as by other churches elsewhere that have carried a consistent progranune of newspaper advertising, that no other medium can sell the idea of going to church bo well as this one. to the state for the privilege of bresk iug down the stste's highways while coining it. Jf it is true thit thfy are saving the people $10,000 a year the amount is offset many times by tiie fact that it will cost the people many times that amount to repair the dam Age dene by the stages and trucks. Tsxpsyers and car owners will serve their own interests best by refusing to sign tiie ftitge and truck men's ref erendum petition. V Sounds Formidable (Sberidan Sua) The Hsiiptsiiarbuss committee of the Aastriso psriisment has been cell ed into session. Don't know just whst it is but sounds like it might be the committee thst does the senate inves tigating. More Men Employed (Coos Jtay Harbor) While there is some taking up of slack in the way of employment on Coos Hay, there sre still many idle men. These will be generally absorbed during May it Is confidently believed, by the many new logging camps of small forces snd by the Urge amount of road work now getting under wsy. There has been u slight improvement in business, most who are engaged in this maoner :tay, snd they are really looking for a noticesble betterment. How Ben Lost Face and His Job (Oregon Voter) So Iten Dorris, Lane county filbert fancier, is no longer a member of the .State (lame Commission, lie was un ceremoniously kicked out by the gov ernor. Dorris has never denied that three years ago this coming fall be carried to Wslter K. Pierce the state ment that l'ierce signed in which he camo out in support of the anti-pa- rrrhis! and private school bill then before the people. Iloth Pierce and LWris rode into office on the crest of the wave 'of religious prejudice. Now Dorris, ns do muny others, finds him self unable to inake that issue suf fice to remain attached to the Pierce regime. He goes becsilso be had the temerity to oppose the governor's bill assessing as 1 1 commissions 10 per cent of their revenue, snd because lip ridiculed tho governor's suggestion that tho Htste (inme Commission be sdministered by the Oregon Agricul tural college. The resl resson for f tic Dorris dismissal is probsbiy the fuct Ihnt tho goveroor found Dorris too independent and not sufficiently ser vile to ssrve his, the governor's politi cal purposes.

But in the main, it aeenm to nic that Pavey paefera doctoring to the knife. Like nioat good doctors, he concerns himself principally with whnt bis paLienta rat, depending tittle on drugf. Trees' bread and hutter, meat and potatoes, cake and ice cream are the soil, with a Utile flavoring nnd a few relishes which they absorb from the nir. So. nn a tree dietician, Inv ey studies the soil. Farmers study the soil, too, hut Pavey's ptudy ha to he more thor ough than theirs. For a tree has such an appetite! 1 1 only a big plant, after all," observes Iavey. Yes, hut whereas a plant like a atnlk of grain requires only cubic inches of soil, n tree requires cubic yards. It fol lows that lavey has to go into it more deeply in the literal as well as tiie figurative sense than almost anybody. except a miner or a pros pector drilling for oil. Thus whnt he knows about the noil is the last word. As an expert, then. Pavey points out that very little soil remains on earth which isn't already being farm to the state of Illiuois. When this additional land is reduced to cultiva tion there will be no more." American farmers are cold toward the suggestion of increased crop pro duction just now. With a surplus al ready or what Davey calls an "ap parent surplus" they ask. "Why raise more?" "Our present-day prob lem," they say at the agriculture de partment, "is one of marketing. Pro duction will tnke care of itself." "But our increasing population?" Hnvey urges. "When we reach the subsistence limitwhat then?" "Thnt will be a long time,' answer some, "Less than a generation, judging from the past," insists Inver. "In mv own short life I have seen form after farm abandoned, exhausted, that in my youth produced excellent crops." ; "At tho worst wo can trek else where," argue, the optimists. "In nil the world," responds I'nvey, "there remains but one spot capable of abundant production which is not un der cultivation now the South Amer ican valley of the Itiver Plate. And that is being pettM rapidly." "As we can't spread out," continues Pavey, "we must intensify. Much of our exhausted land can be reclaimed. That which is unexhausted must he safc-gunrded from exhaustion, that, ns required, its productivity may be increased. "Otherwise, though the rich nlwnys will be well fed, ithis will become a country of famine for the poor. An ahundance of cheap fertilizers!" Pavey was discussing tho importance of Muscle Shoals development. "That's our need. But why worry about what's in the future, until we come to it ? "It's ed. As for this country, all the bind j poor policy, replies Pavey, "to neg avntlnble for cultivation and not now led the question of your food supply cultivated," ho snys, "is about equal until you begin to starve."
