Dnulel WebHter LIGHT SHINING OUT OF DARKNESS BY WIILLIAM COWPER God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plknts His footsteps in theses, And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines Of never failing skill He treasures up His bright deigns And works His sove:eign will. Ye fearfol saints, fresh courage take, The clouds ye so muck dread Are big with mercy, and shall break la blessings on your head. . Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace. Behind a fiowning providence He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast. Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste. Bui tweet will be the flower. Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will mike it plain. STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! In 1921 the vehicles of the Stand ard Oil Company of Indiana cross ed railroad tracks 31,000,000 times without an accident, an average of 85,000 safe crossings every day. Why no accidents? Because the drivers did not ciOM tracks liil they knew no no train was approaching. Had all other dnv r- displayed the same wo d sense not one of the 2,146 persons killed at rail aoad crossings would have pt. ished and not one of'theC.21'5 injured in inU24 v.ouU have deri maimed.

Gervais Weekly Star, STRAW AND PROHIBITION We wonder what the straw voters think they would gain in the State Of Oregon by the repeal ot the Volstead Act. Prohibition h a matter of stat as well as federal law and all the territory of the State of Oregon would be legally as dry us ever. Something might be gainod in states that, like New York, have partially mullifien thtCo-stitu tion, dut not in Oregon, not in Washington, not in Kansas, to' in any of the statts of the West nd South. Manifestly the sir&w vote can have no direct effect on the situation and we doubt if it hat any appreciable effnet on RPD GROWTH OF FARM RADIQ There are nearly 1,000,000 ra dip sets on farms in the United States, Department of Agricul ture estimates in a report on the growth of farm radio in the last ive years. In some states the Department says, there radio sets on 25 to 40 per cent of all tho farms. Esti mates made by Department in 11)23 145,000 sets in use on farms at that time; 364,000 sets id 1924, and 553,000 sets early in 1925. Increased power and improved broadcasting, together with bet ter receiving sets, the depart ment believes " will do much to aid in establisning permanancy of use of radio for benefit of ag riculture. "One station alone in a period of three months broadcasting of market and weather reports, re ceived more than 3,000 letters of commendation from farnerc, coun try banks, shippers of live stock and small merchants in towns i 12 agricullnral stats surround ing the station." Modern City Getting Away From Old Ideas Occasionally there are reproduced from th maf allot er newipepen ( pait pcrlodi toe somewhat crude woodcut which portray more er let faithfully street aceiiea or boildlnta Indicating conditions In the then sparsely settled sections of some of the larger American cities. They are studied with much the same Interest ne devotes t the contemplation f a dagnerrotype of som more r less famous ancestor, says a writer la the Christian Science Monitor. Strangely enough. In nearly every one of these former vlllsges and dtlea which have lost their Identity ss sep arate aalts through the merging and coalescing process to which they have submitted, gracefully er otherwise, more than a semblance ef the eoct boasted Main streets remains. Anoth er century or more mast pass before these ancient landmarks will be ob literated. But their complete ellmlna tloa is forecsst by the Increasing trend toward centmllxstlon. Crest In- dustrlsl snd commercial units are still being welded and compressed Into more and more compact form. Beyond these there possibly will spring up new centers, each with Its own Main atreet, the converging poiat ot resi dential villages peopled by auto and tramcsr commuters. But thee new streets will not be replicas of the eld. The hitching post snd racks will be abaent The corner blacksmith shop will be nowhere visible. Even the rivalries which once existed among neighboring communities to deter mine which should be greeted will be forgotten.

Dry Rot in Timber . Pry rot In the timber of the build ings of onr country Is a menace of great magnitude and yet little U done to eliminate thla dlaeaae. Its caus ! are well known, slao Its habits and effect, but the proerty owners seem willing to run chances of having their blinding undermined by thla dUettue, and (hen pay the coat for demolition and rebuilding. Pry rot csn be pre vented If proper precaution are taken to destroy the fungi. The losses suffered by property own ers from this dlsesse are unbelievable, and more unbelievable la the fact that no effort Is being made to prevent these tremendous I owe. Recently In England, the Royal Institute of BrltUh Architecture ha appealed to the Brit ish Science irhool for dlamsston on tht subject which they feel Is of ss tlenal Importance. It would seem that not only architect, but property own ' rs well ihould combine snd take Immediate step to preserve tbe build- ings or me nation. Lodge Directory 1G.E I)I)OE So. 120. A K.
