A Plow Prerogative The plow is a conglomeration of wood, steel perverseness, and profanity, which is used for mas saging the face of the earth, and while it must be admitted it is also one of the greatest factors in the farming business ,it is also one of the most contrary critters the farmer has to contend with. Where the plow originated is unknown, as it has been on the job so long that even the oldest inhabitant cannot remember its inception. In its early form the plow consisted of a stick which had grown naturally in the form of a shinny club, and this, with the curved end sharpened, was dragged through the ground by the mooley cow or the farmer's wife, whichever happened to be around handy. From this hum ble begining the plow has strug gled along and developed, until now there are on the market more styles and varieties of it than there are political propagan dist. . .' There now are walking and riding plows, running and jump ing plows, steam and , electric plows, gasoline, and, in fact, plows of every description oper ated by every known means of power yet discovered except dyn amite. Then there also is the gang plow and the disc plow, the sulky plow and the snow plow, and the list goes on until one COLUMN stands in wall eyed astonishment wondering where the thing will end. There have been more effort and enthusiasm put into devising new methods for scratch ing up the terra ffrma than ex pended on any other known piece of mechanism. The act of plowing also is of more than passing interest, and there are many and surprising things uncovered sometimes when the plow goes over a field Among other things the plow man has unearthed guns and cannon, buckets of money, corpse bumblebees, barbwire, ratte snakes. Indian arrowheads, dead dogs and then occasionally, when everything is going smooth ly, the plow hits a large, robust rock, and the resultant jolt causes the plowman to rise impetuously out of hie seat, cut a large, grace ful arc in the air, and light in the adjoining field with his features in an ant hill. At other times this performance is changed some what- Sometimes it is a tree stump, instead of a rock, which gets in the way, but outside of this change in the cast the act is much the same. In the olden days, while plow ing was much harder work and necessitated a lot of walking, the above-mentioned operation was unknown, instead of doing an derial flip through the atmospher when he struck something, the plowman simply got one handle of the device shoved through his lung. At the present time, however, plowing has resolved to such a mechanical science that it is rob bed of most of its excitement and charm. The plower' simply goeb out and fires up the engine attached to a row . of shares which cut a half acre swath at a time, sets the gears so the ma chine will reverse when it reach es the fence, climbs in .the seat and goes to sleep. Then, when the dinner bell rings he wakes up, and his plowing is all done, and in view of this that stuff aboufthe plowboy homeward plodding his weary way" sounds rather out of place these days. If you want the best in plows, let us sell you an Oliver. R. E. WILSON CO. James Chalmers Horse Shoeing and General Blacksmithing Maupin, Ore.

Home from South After returning from our trip to California the thought occurr ed to methatperhaps a few lines from us might be of interest to you. We left here on the 18th of December, were gone about two months, our visit was con fined mostly to the San Joaquin valley where our relatives and friends live of whom are all well and enjoying life. In speaking of the San Joaquin valley country I would say we rode over its fertile valley and saw its wondr full vineyards and orange groves and beautiful homes, we were truly brought to realize it was a country of great resources. While in California, we visited in Los Angeles, Snn Diego and Mexico. One of our the most interesting parts of our visit was the privilege of attending an Evangelistic Revival held at Fresno, by Aimee Semple Mc Pherson in the Municipal auditor ium which had a seating capacity of about six thousand people and it was always filled to over flowing and often there were hundreds ot people that could not be admitted. It" was a pleas ure to us to be able to attend these meetings for two weeks. This most wonderful woman beleive3 in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Divine Healing and I wish the readers of your paper could have seen as the writer of this article did what wonderful work she did in Divine healing, the deaf were made to hear, the blind to see, the dumb to speak and the cripple to walk. As she spoke in her simple child like faith and told the sweet story of Jesus, she riveted the attention of the thousands of people that were listened to her Voice and as she gave the after call in her quiet and altogether lovely way, we would see hund reds answer the call and we were brought to realize that she was surely bringing in the sheave and a most wonderfull woman and surely called of God into his Service. Respectfully, Mr. and Mrs. A. i Evick
