Mr. Froet asserts that this year

How­
ever. he declares that growers need
never expect a return to the low
prices that were paid for produce
and fruit prior to the war, thougk
price adjustment is bound to be felt.
"Although this will prove a dif­

business men.
The business men’s committee in
charge o f the local campaign for in­
creased endowment for Pacific Col­
lege. composed of U. S. G. Miller, .8.
L. Parrett, W. H. Woodworth, E. C.
Baird. Mayor Georgs Larkin, Clif­
ford Spaulding, Clarence A. Butt,
J. C. Colcord, S. M. Calkins and Dr.
Hester, are getting things under
-way and it is the plan of this com­
mittee to hold a mass meeting of
the citizens of Newberg in the near
future to discuss the needs of the
college and its relationship to the
community.
A t a banquet o f the Commercial
Club held at tha Imperial hotel oa
the evening o f the 19th, Attorney
Clarence Butt spoke on the subject.
Pacific College,” the following be­
ing some of the points made by Mr.
Butt:
"P a c ific College is doing good
work in a quiet way and ia not al-
way appreciated as aha should be.
The commercial Interests o f the city
are taking t i e raw materials about
us and transforming them into the
finished products of , industry and
commerce. In like manner the col­
lege ia taking the raw materials of
life in the form o f the youth of our
community and making of them bet­
ter dtisens.
The denominational,
school ia important. It ia doing a
work the state schools cannot db, in
that it emphasises the religious bas­
is of character and moral standards.
People in looking-for a location for
a home seek a college town. Many
of the heat Citizens of Newberg are
here because Pacific- College is
here."
Following are resolutions adopted
the club:
Whereas,
is un­
dertaking in connection with tha
Interchurch World Movement, a
campaign for an increased endow­
ment, the success of which cam­
paign w ill make it possible to stan­
dardise the college, thus increasing
its value and efficiency, and
Whereas, Present conditions in
the field of education make it neces­
sary that Pacific Collage shall be
standardised if it shall continue to
exist, and
Whereas, Pacific College is rec­
ognised as a worthy local institu­
tion, playing its part in the devel­
opment o f our city and commuinty,
and bringing a large volume of bus­
iness to our city every year, there­
fore be it
Resolved, That wa, the Commer­
cial Club of Newberg, Oregon, do
endorse this campaign and call upon
the people of this community to lend
it their hearty support, and be it
further
Resolved, That the president be
authorized to appoint a committee
to assist in this campaign.
