Ing to a falling off sinco August
1 of nearly 30 per cent in ship
ments of creosote from England
and Germany, whence comes all
but a small part of tho Imported
oil UBcd by wood preserving
plants in this country, American
manufacturers have taken steps
which, says a report compiled
by tho Forest Service, it Is esti
mated will increase production
of the domestic article by about
225 per cent!. The imported oil
ordinarily form about G5 per
cent of tho total used in tho
United StateB, where creosote
is the most Important wood pre
servative, Tho statistics gathered show
that wood preserving is ono of
tho most rapidly advancing in
dustries In tho country. In
1895 thoro were fifteen plants
In tho United States; in 1914
there wero 132 plants of all
kinds, 100 boing of tho prossuro

Rev. Mr. Patterson, who con
ducted tho services a tho Chris
tian church yesterday In tho ab
sence of Rev. Mr. Wigmore, of
fered the prayer, and Rev. J T.
Moore, pastor of the Methodist
church, introduced the speaker
with appropriate remarks.
"The high school course Is a
test of character," said Dr.
Ford. "The fact that you have
persevered for four years indi
cates that you have the poWer
to concentrate. Too many do
not know the value of an educa
tion and drop out of school.
"You graduates, however,
have completed the second
great epoch in your education
al course. You have completed
the grammar grades, and you
have completed the high school.
Now you face the University, or
the training of practical busi
ness life;
"Thus far you have come un
der the care of competent guides
and have encompassed studies
the purpose of which you did not
understand. Their place in your
life will be made clearer later.
Now you go out to face the in
spection of yourself, your God,
and the people. Upon the full
ness with which you measure up
to high standards in these in
spections will be your success in
life.
"What you believe has the
true influence on you life. Four
things I would have you believe:
Believe in God;' believe in your
own self, believe in hard worfe;
believe in a life of service.
"Believe in God. as a kind
father, omnipotent ruler of the
universe. Great men of this na
tion have not ben afraid to own
their God, and to look to Him for
strength.
' 'Believe strongly IrT- yourself
I do not mean, be egotistical, but
don't apologize for your exist
ence. There is plenty to do and
you have as much time as any
one for doing your share. It is a
good plan, now and then, to take
ourselves by the collar, and take
stock; be self -critics and disci
pline yourselves.
"Believe in good solid hard
work. Nothing valuable comes
easy. The road to learning is
an arduous climb. The only
luck I know anything about is
pluck.. Be .ready for the emer
gency. Garfield made himself
the man of the hour by dispers
ing recruiting riots in New York.
Don't run after happiness; the
only true happiness Is in work
well done.
"Believe in a life of service.
The man who doesn't serve is
not worthy. Be ready to help
others if you would make your
life large."
The commencement exercises
proper will be held at the high
school building Friday night at
8 o'clock, when Earl Kilpatrick,
formerly superintendent of the
Springfield schools, and now
connected with the extension
department of the University of
Oregon, will deliver the address
to the graduates.

To take up a' definite ' cam
paign for better farming was
the determination of the I&rie
County Pomona strange in ses
sion in Springfiekl Saturday, 'to
this end a committee was con
stituted to be composed of one
delegate from each grange in
the county, to make plans for a
definite campaign. Wlien some
plan has been decided upon the
intention is to use all influences
at the command of the grange
to carry the plan through' suc
cessfully. It was suggested that
drainage might be furthered in
the county if the grange com
mittee provided suitable literary
and information for the different
farmers, or the dairy herds
might be'built up if the dfff ef erft
farmers were supplied with suit
able charts for ke?ing rftcordte,
and apparatus for tesUag the
milk product.
Another ocmimittee was nam
ed for the purpose of formulat
ing rules for the conduct of the
corn contests which are being
held in the different granges of
tbteounty.' -Bach. grafehas.
offered as a premium a pure bred
sow for the best half acre of corn
grown by a member of the
grange and in order that the
scoring may be uniform, this
committee will formulate a set
of rules.
The grange determined also to
publish from time to time a. list
of Items wanted and for sale by-
grange members, the same to b'e
circulatedamong the members
throughout the county. The
secretary of the Pomona grange
was directed to carry out this
plan and arrange for the circula
tion of the lists.
The attendance here Saturday
was the largest in the history of
the Lane County Pomona
grange, some 225 being in at
tendance. There were 52 Po
mona grangers present at the'
opening of the session. The
meeting was a most enthusiastic
one, and was marked by a strong
determination to make the work
of the grange stand for somthing
constructive.
Every grange in the county
was represented by one or more
delegates, and reports were re
ceived fom te foowfng granges,
organized since te previous
meeting: West Point (Coburg),
Trent, Lowell; Jasper, Alvadore
and Elmira. The next session
of the Pomona grange will be
held at Alvadore, July 81.
