Grady. The front page of the Oregonian of Wednesday morning carried an illustrated picture of Elmer David son, 18-year-old prisoner at Louis- ville, Ky., who had been foiled in his attempt at suicide by guards, His features were distorted by anger and pain and was not a pleasant sight to behold. Why should such human emotions of those less for túnate than the average citizen should be given prominence in one of our state metropolitan daily pa pers is difficult to understand. lt is neither educational nor elevating. It may be necessary for a news paper to cater to a class of readers who would prefer such publicity but undoubtedly the majority prefer a more elevating trend. Few of us have outgrown the cir cus—the smell of the wild animals and dust, the trapese performances, the trick horses, the daring Hon trainer, the elephants and the blare of the circus band hold their at traction for both old and young. The Al G. Barnes circus was complete in variety, fulfilling its publicity that told of eighteen tons of elephant flesh, twenty Hons and tigers, doz ens of beautifully trained horses and hundreds of skilled performers. The whole show brought back mem- orles of our first circus which closed in the flurry of a thunder storm mingled with the roar of the lions. The section of the Butter Creek highway between the Echo road and Hermiston is being prepared for oil ing. Last summer the road was near ly impassable because of ruts caused by the heavy traffic. Local peopole have worked faithfully to bring about this oiling work and are to be congratulated. The Motorist’s Prayer. “Grant me a steady hand and watchful eye, that no man shall be hurt when I pass by," starts The Motorist's Prayer. The prayer first appeared in the London Church Times. The prayer is a reminder that good driving is a Christian obliga- tion, and the moral may be applied S CHURCH NOTES FULL GOSPEL CHURCH Grace Trumbull, Pastor. Sunday school 10:00 a. m.

The Golden Text was, “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strang ers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul” (I Peter 2:11). Among the citations which com- prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself” (Phil. 3:20, 21). The Lesson-Sermon also includ ed the following correlative pass ages from the Christian Science textbook. “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures", by Mary Baker Eddy: “Mortal mind and body are one. Neither ex ists without the other, and both must be destroyed by immortal Mind . . . When you say, ‘Man’s body is material,’ I say with Paul: ‘Be willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.’ Give up your ma terial belief of mind in matter, and have but one Mind, even God; for this Mind forms its own likeness" (pp. 177, 216).

Soft winds blew through meadows bright with the drift of lupines. Creeks spilled over their banks as melting snows from distant slopes rushed torrential- ly through them. Jan Connors stood in the doorway of his single-storied, unpainted shack, casting speculative glances over his section. He was a tall, gaunt, sandy- haired young man, and his chin was very square. He was mentally divid ing his property into so much grazing land, so much corn, so much wheat. Mostly so much wheat. A good year would retrieve the disasters of three previous years, and would reconcile Andrea to hanging on a spell longer. Meanwhile what she lived on—and he was well aware of it—was the promise she had wrung from him In one of his rare moments of discourag- ment. "Stick with me one more year, sweetheart. If chis year's crop fails, I'll quit and go home. I give you my word.” Three successive seasons had there been of ruined acres. Drouth, wind, grasshoppers. In Andrea’s mind, the last had been by far the worst Never would she forget the sickening little devils which had blotted out the en tire header as she drove it, had crunched under her feet as she stepped from table to sink, had dropped Into her hair from beams and door lintel. Constantly, as day succeeded day, Andrea pondered the chances of Jan’s wheat this year. She was convinced that it would be better for Jan, for her, for the children they hoped to have, to go back to Jan’s home in Ohio where he could step into his father’s shoes when the old man died. The wheat prospered, growing tall and golden. From their low doorway Jan and Andrea looked out each day upon a yellow sea that billowed In the perpetual prairie wind. The morning came when Jan drove to town to make arrangements for Its purchase, its storing In the red grain elevator beside the tracks, Its harvest ing. He would he gone until nearly sundown and Andrea felt a certain re lease with his absence. After all, a one-room shack is a small place to hold two people who nre not In com- píete accord, In the late afternoon she saw a dark cloud lift above the horizon. A thunderstorm? Wind? Please, Heav- en. send lightning out of that black ness to set fire to the wheat ! The cloud shifted to the south and with It passed her hopes. Andrea flung herself upon her knees on the sod doorstep. lease, dear God." she prayed, “please send hail or lightning or tire right now!” But the golden wheat continued to dip and wave, wave and dip. in the prairie wind. "If only I dared !” She spoke the words aloud. The very sound of her voice gave her courage, and she went right on defiantly. “If I only dared, I’d set tire to the wheat myself. Jan would never know, and if he ever did find out. he would thank me for it!” Five minutes later she was flying along the road with a box of matches in her apron pocket. At a point not too near the house she crossed the plowed strip and plunged Into the forest of wheat stalks, Immediately becoming part of them. The wind would carry the flames away from the buildings and what little wheat lay between would not be burned. She took the match box from her pocket and something like a sigh seemed to stir the grain. She frowned. Why. the wheat was a huge creature. It was vital. In it was life to be passed on to other lives. She had never thought of that before. Of wheat, ns a growing, living entity, To burn It would he like committing : mur- der. Did she want to commit murder Just to get herself out of a tight spot? And had she any God-given right to decide for Jan whnt was best for him? She thrust the matches back into her pocket. “Quitter!” she called herself savagely. “Quitter!” Turning, she ran and saw that Jan’s wagon was a speck on the long white road that fell and rose to the horizon. Ue seemed tired. His eyes were strained. But be flung a cheek Into Andrea's lap. “I got my price, and It's darn’ good. But I’m going to quit right now. I said I’d quit if we failed, but I’d rather go back after making good." She threw her arms about his neck. Tears filled her blue eyes. "Let's stay, Jannle. Let’s stay. At least until It's grasshoppers again !” “The Most Heroic Document" On February 24, 1836, Col. William B. Travis, commanding 150 Texans be sieged by an overwhelming Mexican force in the Alamo, sent out what has been called "the most heroic document In American history." After asking reinforcements, Travis wrote: "I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible and to die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor or that of his country.” As courageous as the heroes who died when the Alamo fell, on March fi, were their comrades who carried this and other appeals for aid. With the tradì- tional devotion to duty of all who men's messages, they risked death that others might live. (From the Bulldog) Some real work has been done in girls’ baseball this season.

This is proven by her new film, "Klondike Annie,” which comes to the Oasis theatre Sunday for a three day engagement.
