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.

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

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.

Resolutions Adopted Endorsing Big
Campaign and Urging ongrega
tionalitti Throughout State to
Support College With Enthus
iasm and Money.
At the Oregon Congregational Con
ference held at Eugene lust week,
many of tho delegates expressed keen
and sympathetic- interest 'in Paciflo
University. The Conference adopted
resolutions endorsing the campaign
and urging. Congregationalists
throughout the state to support it
with their interest and money.
Rev. 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."
The new Conference Committee on
Pacific University is composed of
Rev. Caradoc Morgan of Oregon City,
Rev. E. Gondge, of The Dalles, and
Rev. O. P. Avery of Waverly Heights

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.
