NOISY CROWS (NoteNorth Aberdeen has si many crows that they disturb the res idents of that district.) Flocks of crows flew 'down, , . TwaB just a small town That is known as North Aberdeen. They lit in the trees, And battled the breeze, As they flew the dwellings between. They darkened the sky Ab they flittered by, Never ceasing their caw, caw, caw; And now a crusade i 1 These people have made To deal with them some way by law. Their noise does not cease, These folks get no peace, Their anger could not help but rise. Would that they could kill And check up each bill With bounty or some kind of prize. What thousands of screams Comes from the sun beams, When twilight begins to appear. . Awake they will keep, And folkB cannot sleep When cawing is all they can hear.. Those pesky black things, Why can't they talfe wings And fly far away from their door ? In days that are gone, They once lit upon The timber that is there no more. But still I can say That not far away I believe some people we know, Would say not a word At the noise they heard If It proved to be some Old Crow. 0. O.

MEET III CONFERENCE Annual State Gathering Held at Eu gene October 10-13 New Rules ' Govern Hereafter. 1 The Annual State Congregational Conference of Churches of Oregon was held in Eugene from Monday to Thursday, inclusive, last week. While the attendance' was'" notfhtTarge'mv usual, owing to the fact that the con ference was held a little out of the area of the majority of the Congre gational order in this state, yet the conference waB one of the best ever held. A strong program, forward looking and constructive throughout, filled the days. The Women's Boards, including the Women's Home Missionary Union of Oregon and the Oregon Branch of Women's Board of Missions of the Pacific, held their meetings on Mon day afternoon and Tuesday forenoon of the Conference week. Besides the many leading women workers of the state. Miss Bertha Allen, of Foochow, China, and Mrs. H. S. Ranney, of San Francisco, and Dr. F. L, Moore, of New York, were principal speakers, The Annual Conference Sermon was preached on Tuesday evening by Rev. Geo. L. Zocher of the First Ger man Church of Portland. Represen tative Secretaries of the National Council Boards and Commissions were in attendance and addressed the con ference, among whom were Rev. G N. Edwards, Field Secretary of the Congregational Extension Boards, Rav. George N. Hinman, Secretary of the American Missionary Association, of San Francisco, Rev. Fred Gray, District Secretary of the Educational Society, of Seattle, Rev. F. L. Fag ley, D. D., of New York, Secretary of the Commission on Evangelism, and C. H. Harris of Denver, District Secretary of the Church Building So ciety. K Representative men of the churches of the state appeared on the program, which dealt with the Apportionment, Rural and Community Churches, The Education Foundation, Church Liter ature, and Evangelism. The Conference will go down in the history of Congregationalism as an important one owing to the fact that a new constitution was presented and adopted, after a full year of notice that such would be done. The govern ment and corporate form of the af fairs of the church in the state, have for seventy-three years been under what was known as the Conference Missionary Board with nine members. The new constitution provides for the Conference to be incorporated, and will be directed by a board of direct ors consisting of twelve members be side the State Superintendent and Benevolence treasurer. This will make the Conference rather than the Missionary Board, the directing force in the state, and is quite a new departura in the state work. Tiis new plan H'so makes provisions for fhe slec!'oi- of other officers of the state in a different manner than pre viously. Officers elected for the ensuing year are: Moderator, Dr. j. a. Bishop of Forest Grove; Asst. Moderator, j FORSCHODL LUNCH THURSQAY EVE Faculty of High School and Orchestra to Pat os Benefit for Cafeteria which Will Start at Once. '' Thursday, the twenty-seventh, the schools of Beaverton will present a varied program of songs, readings and drills in the auditorium for the benefit of the cafeteria. The faculty has become actively interested thiB year in the needs of the school and are determined to equip and operate lunch room for the children of all departments, Last Friday evening a group of interested teachers and patronB met at the high school and organised the plan that is now being put in operation. .. ..... The proceeds of this entertainment wHl go toward Lhe installation of the gas and water. A week later the Chautauqua opens, followed by the annual institute, and the next benefit for the student body and cafeteria to be given by the high school faculty is therefore delayed until near the mid dle of November. However the in stallation of the lunch room equip ment will go ahead as rapidly as pos sible because of the urgent need. The coming entertainment will give the necessary Initial funds and a large attendance is anticipated be cause of the popularity of the. pur pose, and the occasion will mark the first appearance of the high school orchestra, as well as the firBt ap pearance of the high Bchool faculty behind the foot-lights. ISOBEL" COMING TO PACIFIC THEATRE Saturday and Sunday's program at Pacific Theatre includes the great story of the Northland by James Ol iver Curwood entitled "Isobel" or The Trail's End." Saturday even ing the high school orchestra will give a corcert before the show, their iittt AfiPa&relW&.J'he .apneert starts at 7:15. GROVE CITIZEN PROMINENT IN PICTURE OF 50 YEARS AGO , Our old-time printer friend, C. V. B. Russell, of the Forest Grove Shoe Store, who as a lad in the sixties, worked ina Missouri printing office and helped set Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, iB the local man mentioned in the following item taken from the Glenwood, Iowa, Tribune: A very interesting picture can be seen in the Mills County National Bank. It is a trio of photographs, the originals of which are L, W. Rub sell, C. V. B. Russell and W. F. Lara- sell. The. facts about this trio are that all three are still living. One of them is still a resident of Glenwood. Another matter is that the three men were each conducting a business in Glenwood a half century ago. Two of them are still engaged in the same line of business. L. W.j Russell conducted In Glen wood a general merchandise store. As is known by all, he is still in ac tive work as a traveling salesman for a firm of men's ready-to-wear clothing, and makes good at it and is apparently good for years to come. His brother, C. V. B. Russell, known as Charley, is now at Forest Grove, Ore., and is a dealer in the same line, that of footwear, as he had in Glen-1 wood. W. F. Laraway was a jeweler in Glenwood fifty years ago. He is now at Hood River, Ore., and is in the same line of business. Few towns of Iowa, we feel sure, can boast of Buch a distinction.

At the Oregon Congregational Con ference held at Eugene lust week, many of tho delegates expressed keen and sympathetic- interest 'in Paciflo University.

Edward Constant of the High land Church, Portland, chairman of the Conference Committee on Pacific University, presented a strong report which was unanimously adopted . Mr. Constant prefaced the report with a hearty tribute to the college and his vigorous personal endorsement of the campaign. The committee's report speaks of the splendid work that is being done at the college, and continues; "The committee feels deeply interested In the college, which it ideally located to serve both Western Oregon and Western Washington, nd which should strongly appeal to all who sense the importance of that higher education which it both liberal and Christian. We can never forget that it 1b the offspring of early Congre gationalism in our state, an undertak ing of men of heroic faith, who recog nized the worth of Christian educa tion. The institution has had its days of trial and struggle, but hat done service which has made for building up the state and furnishing it with a magnificent type of educated man hood. We rejoice in the dawn of a new day for Pacific, anticipating for it greater usefulness, ifgnJ of which we see in the enlarged faculty and in creased student body. We urge its claims upon all our people, and ask them whenever possi ble, to call the attention of parents and prospective students to the ad vantages offered by the college. We trust succeBB may attend the cam paign for larger funds, and hope that a generous response will be made by the constituency of Oregon Congre gationalism. "raciiic university deserves our confidence, and students and faculty, as well at trustees, have the right to expect our support."

Wa ean cite hundreds of Instances of adver tising which has paid, yet direct re sults of advertising are the hardest things to trace accurately that we have ever tried to follow. Compared with finding the things that bring a merchant businuss. th frmtiiin out of murder mysteries, robberies and crime fades into insignificance. A man will read an advertisement and then seuk by a dozen wave to lal merchant to believe that he learned of it in some other way. A woman will buy advertised goods hut rarely will she mention tho paper that brings the barimin news to her. Hut in a1iu the worth of advertising one has but to read the statistics gathered by the better business organizations who gather reliable information fur the merchants. One of these recently dis covered that of the business failures in 1120. 84 ner cunt were ftrmu thut Hi.i not advertise. Or a little Introspec tion is just as good. How many of the garments you wear are advertised lines? How aid you gut ta using breakfast food instead of corn meal mush? By what means do you meas ure the duality of nit-kifsf How do you pick out a theatre? What induces . you to go to a dance or a nicnic? Ym. advertising pays or there wouldn't be ho many advertisers. But how about your own interest. Are you doing your part to make the local merchant real no that you read his ads. Do you support his honest effort and condemn any attempt at misleading advertis ing or sharp practices. The sooner he comes to know that you watch his advertising, the more value you will get in your local paper and the more the merchant will tell you about the bargains he has for you. James F.
