Do we realise whst lies behind that of tensive voice, what gives it th* menac ing pitch and the shrill carrying pow e r? Arc we willing to investigate why the preacher o f revolt atwaji» finds a sympathetic audience close at hand? It is to be feared that we are all too indifferent to seek for the causes be hind the eagerness with which the crowd listens to the agitator. Vet we have not far to seek. Here is one o f them: ‘ Th* Child Bureau o f the Depart ment of Labor two years ago investi gated the income of 28,000 families having small babies, and compared these incomes with the death rates of the babies ip each group. A It was found that in round numbers 6800 families had incomes of less than $550 a year or $10.60, yes, less than ten dollars and sixty cents a week. The moat numerous group comprised 8550 families with incomes ranging* from $550 to $840 per annum or $10.60 to $16.80 a week. The best paid group included 3000 families whose incomn reached $1250 a year or $26 a week and better. Even two years ago it was impossi ble that any family earning less than $16A0 a weak could maintain a decent American standard of living. Fami lies with so pitifully small an income must o f necessity be in constant, grinding poverty, must live, in fact, in ignorance and filth. These families did so live. And be cause they were very poor, of every 1000 babies born in this group 162 died during the first year. O f every 1000 babies born in the $26 a week group, however, death required a toll of only 62 in th* first year. 1 The task o f supporting a family on $10.50 a week is very hard. Even harder is th* loss o f 162 babies per 1000 when one hundred o f these tiny lives could be saved merely by en abling their parents to lead a decent, self-respecting American existence. Is it right that the family o f any willing worker in this rich country should be compelled to live on $10.50 less per week? Is it right that every tenth baby among the very poor should be sacrificed needlessly? Do thee* dry figures make it clear why the soap-box speaker in every large city always finds a sympathetic au dience. Hitting the spouter on the bean, and confining him in tank or bull-pen won’t do away with the dis content and unrest among those who are ready to swallow his wild sat4- ments. Th* audience is th* powder and the agitator merely th* spark. What are you going to do about it? Forget it, o f course, and do nothing whatsoever.—Sunset Magaxine. TO LAUNCH PRAYER BARRAGE One million Methodists to pray daily for the success of the Methodist centenary! That is the aim of Methodism by next Sunday— Easter Sunday. . Four million blanks were distri buted in 18,000 Methodist churches last Sunday. They will be collected at Easter. But in the meantime more than 1,- 000,000 Methodists are praying, with members of 22 other denominations, every night this week. The aim is to set up a prayer bar rage that absolutely assure success of the gigantic financial drive o f the cen tenary May 18i Sunday schools, Ep- worth leagues, churches— all are tak ing part during Holy Week. But by Easter 1,000,000 are to be enrolled pledged to daily prayer. At noon every one of the million will pray for the centenary. They will have read two pamphlets: “ What Would Happen if Millions Prayed” and “Victory Through Prayer.” And they expect to prove that with 1,000,000 earnest persona praying dally intensified and concentrated P ftftr can win a financial campaign — even as large a one as the Metho dist centenary $106,000,000 drive for fore, too, in buying Liberty Loan th* evangelisation, a rebulding o f the Speaking o f the offer recently mad* world. bonds we haven’t been sure how many billions more the government might by our city council the Coos Bay Har bor says: ' have to issue nor how low their price Reports from motorist* who Sunday might drop, but this four and a half Th* city o f Coquille has over $5000 went south on the road to Coquille billion is absolutely the last and even in a sinking fund which will not be state that about five acres o f land has oversubscriptions are to be refused. expended for th* purpose created un slipped into the county road near Del- This issue will make our national debt til next year.

Vive la France, a senior 4-year-old Jersey cow owned by Pickard Bros, of Marion, Oro., near Salom, has broken the world’s butterfat production rec ord for Jersey cows of all ages, and has probably broksn the senior 4- year-old record for all breeda, al though no official record has yet been issued by the American Jersey Cat tle club. The unofficial record shows that this famous queen o f Jersey has beaten the record of the champion cow Sophies Agnes owned by Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass., by a substantial mar gin. Th* record o f Sophies Agnes, which was announced last December, is 1007 ^ u n d s butterfat, and that of Vive la France will approximate 1028 pounds. It is possible that this rec ord will be even higher, as the ques tion of determining which o f her tests for the month of February will be allowed by th* American jersey NO REASON FOR IT You Are Shown a Way Out. There can be no reason why any reader o f this who suffers the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the pains and dan gers of kidney ills will fail to hoed the word of a resident of this local ity who has found relief. Tee fol lowing is convincing proof. J. W. Stoops, 1847 Harvard Are., Roaeburg, Oreg., says: “ I couldn’t recommend anytning equal to Doan’s Kidney Pill* for backache. A t times, I r.m more or less bothered with a dull pain in. the small o f my beck and of ten when I get down, I can hardly straighten up, my back gets so stiff and sore.
