How much should I give
to make this a better world?
C E R T A IN man in N ew York filled out his
income tax report.

It showed an income so large that his tax w as
53%. A n d his total gifts to church and ch a r­
i t y for the y e a r w ere $148.
Think o f it— thousands spent for luxuries and
pleasure for himself, and $148 to leave the w o rd
r. little better than he found it I

Charles
Hicinbotham
came
over from Hiver Miil. to call on
relatives Sunday.
N o wonder that 80* o f the ministers o f America
are paid less than $20 a week. N o wonaer that
the church hospitals turn aw ay thousands ofsic*c
people a year. N o wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 400,000 people. N o wonder
that every church board and charity society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.
While William Hicinbotham
was home last week he* took his
family to Troutdale after smelt.
Harvey Mattoon and family also
were there.
. William Mattoon has bought
the Viola store from Morgan
Bros. Mr. Mattoon says he has
quit politics and intends to move
down near the store soon, and
put in all his time there.
It isn’t because w e are selfish; it isn’t because w i
don’t want to help. It’s just because no one has ever pu:
up a great big program to us, and asked us to think ot the
work o f the church in a system atic businesslike way.
The Interchurch W orld Movement represents the united
program of thirty denominations. T h ey have surveyed
their w hole task, no business Could have done it better.
D. C. White had a bad §pell on
Sunday night.
Dr. Mount o f
Oregon City, was out to see him
and informed him an operation
was necessary. Babe White and
family are with him now.
Clark Cockerel has bought the
place o f his brother Frank, and
greatly improved the house, by
the addition of some rooms and
porches, new paint and paper,
which makes it one o f the neat­
est appearing houses in Portland.
T hey have budgeted their needs; no business could have
a more scientific budget. T h e y have united to prevent the
possibility oi waste and duplication. At least a million dol­
lars wul be saved by the fact that thirty individual cam -
pa.gns are jowied in one united ellort.
And they com e to the men or wom en who love America
— to y o u — tn-s week asking you to use them as the chan­
nel through which a certain definite part of your income
can be be applied to make th.s a better world.
Or.ly you can determine wh; t part o f your income that
should be.
I s a
good time righ: now to answer that question
W e r e passing through the world just once; how much
better will the worlu be because you passed through?

J. V. Barr, Estacada’ s fire
chief, has called a meeting at the
City Hall for Monday i.ight at 8
o ’clock. It is very
mportant
that the fire brigade should le
reorganized and new members
procured. The equipment also
r *quires overhauling to see if it
is in good condition and that
there is a sufficient quantity of
hose. Only recently the town of
Sheridan was nearly wiped out
by fire because o f lack o f hose.
We shall find safety only in being
thoroughly prepared.

Rural • • Credit Loans
If you are looking for Rural
Credit loans on the 20 year plan,
call on S. E. Wooster & Son, and
they will tell you all about it.
You can borrow 50 per cent on
your farm value, at 5 per cent.
By our plan you can forget you
have any principal, as the annual
payments are gradually wiping
out the principal loan. You can,
therefore, with perfect safety,
devote your surplus funds to im­
provements, purchasing addi­
tional live stock or land or for
any o f the many other purposes
for which money is always need­
ed on a farm.
