SITTING
Mr. Charles M. Sheldon, wrote "In
His Steps," the book that sold a
hundred million copies.
I asked him once to tell me about
the greatest sermon he ever heard.
"I don't know that I can name
the greatest sermon," he answered,
"but I can tell you about one of the
most interesting.
"It was in London. The preacher
had won a great following by the
unusual character of his mind and
the directness of his Bpeech.
"On this particular morning he
startled the congregation with a
text which most of them did not
know Is in the Bible.
"'In the year that king Uzziah
died, I saw also the Lord sitting up
on a throne high and lifted up, and
his, train filled the temple.'
"I wondered what in, the world
anybody could find in that text to
hang a sermon on. I did not have
long to wait
"The preacher proceeded in vig
orous tones: 'I direct your particular
attention to the one word sitting.
The great king, Uzziah, had Just
passed away. You would expect that
there would be excitement and con
fusion, in heaven. Angels would be
rushing around asking, "What Is go
ing to happen?" and "What shall
we do?"
"'Was that the case? Not at all.
Behold the utterly unflustered Lord
sitting upon a throne, high and
lifted up. ... I want to preach to
you about the eternal patience and
tranquility of God.' "
That story has always stuck in
my mind.' I like to think of the
picture the little kingdoms of the
earth in turmoil, while the Lord sits
quietly upon the throne, knowing
that time will quiet the turmoil, and
that the crisis will pass.
If you ever have occasion to write
down the attributes that make men
successful, do not fail to include
staying power.
I know a man who has grown
rich beyond any of his associates,
though he is In many respects the
least brilliant of the lot But he
had great patience and stickto-it-Iveness.
When the others became
excited and pessimistic, and sold
their stock, he just sat tight. And
time and the growth of the country
have carried him high.
I read about all the men who
thought they were smarter than
Lincoln Seward and Stanton and
Chase and maybe some of them
were. But Lincoln had a great phil
osophy. When things were at their
worst he would say, "This too will
pass."
Every tough thing passes. Almost
every problem becomes less hard
under the softening influence of
time. And when the turmoil is
thickest the wise man climbs up on
his great high throne and calmly
and quietly sits.

PORTUGAL
Travellers returning from the little-known
country of Portugal re
port that it is the most honest coun
try in the world. In the hotels the
key to your room is hung on a hook
outside of your door and nobody
ever steals anything. You can leave
your suitcase, your camera or your
overcoat on a railroad train or a
station platform or in a parked car
on the street, and nobody bothers
them. The people are polite and
hospitable as well as honest If a
sudden shower comes up, house
doors open and the occupants ask
passersby to stepin for shelter until
the rain stops.
That sounds like an earthly para
dise. It would be perhaps, If Por
tugal had a stable government In
the last twenty-six years there have
been twenty-six revolutions. Under
the present President,, General Car
mona, the little nation is getting
along nicely.
POPULATION
Early reports from the Census of
fice Indicate that the decline in the
birthrate in the past ten years is
greater than ever. It begins to look
as If, In another ten years we will
have come to an annual Increase
of only 500,000 or less than one half
of one percent, in population. And
that will have tremendous economic
significance.
Cities will not grow so fast. Fewer
new schools will be needed. Real
estate values will not increase so
rapidly. Fewer homes will be built
The proportion of elderly people to
young will be larger, and old age
pensions and retirement funds will
become matters of prime Importance.
Those are not considerations for
the distant future. They are based
upon facts which are here, now, and
may affect economic conditions very
soon.
SKYSCRAPERS
New York's newest skyscraper, to

Ice cream will not melt at a tem

scientific curiosity. It has been pro
duced by Professor P. W. Bridgman
of Harvard University. All that is
necessary to keep ice from melting
under a flame is to subject it to a
pressure of 290,000 pounds to the
square inch.
Professor Bridgman's experi

familiar substances change their

human beings do. Thirty-nine dif

Hyslop Returns After
Year at Washington D.C.
G. R. Hyslop, head of the farm
crops department at O. S. C. and
one of the most widely known spe
cialists among the farmers of Ore
gon, has returned to the college af
ter a full year spent in Washington
D. C. heading a committee appoint
ed to investigate grain grades and
standards throughout the United
States and the administration of the
grain division of the bureau of ag
ricultural economics.
Professor Hyslop first went easi
on what was to have been a three
months mission for the department
of agriculture, but it was later de
cided that the committee should
study the entire subject more thor
oughly and assemble enough data
to make specific rather than general
recommendations for all grain
grades throughout the country.
As federal officials asked for re
peated extensions of Hyslop's leave
rumors spread through Oregon that
he was going into the federal ser
vice permanently Like the man
who came back after being listed
as dead, Hyslop says the reports
were grossly exaggerated and that
he has come back to Oregon with
a great deal of information that
may be of real value to the North
west grain producers.
PEACHES
Peaches are, and for the next few
weeks will be, at their best and
cheapest. So have them every day
and more than once a day, if your
family likes them.
And if you use a little imagina
tion In serving them there are few
families that will tire of them be
fore the end of the season.
Here are some way3 of using
them to suggest new ideas to the
cook:
Peach Foam
Press three or four ripe peaches
through a colander making one cup
pulp and juice together. Stir one
envelope gelatine with one-half cup
of sugar and dissolve in one cup of
boiling water. Add peach pulp and
juice flavored with one tablespoon
lemon juice or almond extract and
pinch of salt. Set in cool place
and when beginning to jell add the
well-beaten whites of two eggs, and
beat all together until very thick so
it will not separate. Pour into molds
and set in, cool place until firm
Serve with custard sauce.
Baked Peaches
Plunge the ripe peaches into boil
ing water for a moment, then the
skins will rub off as easily as the
skin of a scalded tomato. Arrange
in a rather deep baking dish, sprin
kle with sugar, and cinnamon and
dot the tops of the peaches with
bits of butter. Add a cup of boil
ing water to the baking pan and
bake in a steady, moderate oven.
Serve hot or cold.
Peach Fritters
Peel and split ripe peaches, sprin
kle with powdered sugar and let
stand for an hour. Drain, dip in
fritter batter, fry brown in deep fat,
drain, sprinkle with powdered su
gar, and serve.
Peach Delight
Peel and split ripe peaches and
fill a baking dish, sprinkling each
layer of fruit with sugar. Dot the
top with butter, add a cup of water
and sprinkle with flour. Make a
crust of one and one-half cups of
flour sifted with a little salt and a
teaspoon of baking powder, rubbing
into the flour and then half a cup
of lard and adding ice water to mix.
Cover the peaches with a thin sheet
of the dough, slit the crust and
serve hot with fresh cream.
Peach Snow
For peach snow, beat a cup of
cream until it is stiff and add half

Oregon City Cooperative experi
ments with fertilizers on grain and
legumes carried on by County Agent
J. Inskeep and several farmers of
Clackamas county have shown that
combinations of nitrogen and super
phosphate are more effective on the
grain yield, and that the higher the
application of ground limestone the
more vigorous the legumes. Farm
ers cooperating in the tests are
Alfred Anderson of Col ton; J. A.
Shibley and Sons of Springwater,
and Louis Hoffmeister of Boring.

acre of Minnesota No. 13 corn is be
