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

no train was approaching.
Had all other dnv r- displayed

the 2,146 persons killed at rail
aoad crossings would have pt.

In other words, U.inl I
ThJ perils of the rairoad cross

The price of safety is caution
The penalty of carelessness is
disaster.
These are not man mi le laws;
they are nature's lawa..d nafie

The choice is ours. We pay

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

sparsely settled sections of some of

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
