An investigation of the circum stances disclosed the fact that the death of this boy was a needless sac rifice of life on the altar of economy. While it is true that this is the first death of a person in Oregon from a homemade electric fence, numerous horses and cattle have been killed with these devices and they would probably have been fatal to human beings had they contacted the fence under proper conditions. The device used to energize the fence was built for Mr. Campbell by a neighbor’s boy who constructed it in accordance with a description and diagram published in a nationally distributed magazine “Mechanix Il lustrated”. It did not comply in any respect with recognized safety stand ards. The current was continuous and had a value twice that known to be safe. This accident will serve to indicate the truth of our oft repeat ed statement that it is impossible for the layman to build a safe electric fence unit. This is a job for a trained engineer and even he must have electrical laboratory testing equipment before he can construct a device having proper safety factors. When the electric fence first ap peared in 193 6 the hazards to life were immediately recognized and the Oregon Bureau of Labor, under auth HOLDS MEETING ority of Chapter 318, Oregon Laws Regular meeting of Westland 1935, took steps to insure that all de vices offered for sale in Oregon were Grange was held last Thursday with so constructed that they would be a good crowd in attendance, in spite safe under all conditions.

The closing date will probably be set some time be tween the first and fifteenth of Sep tember in order to allow for shipment of the reed to the southern states in time for fall planting, says N. C. Donaldson, state executive officer. Movement of seed from Oregon to the southern states has been rapid, with upwards of 100 carloads hav ing been shipped by the first week in August. Orders were being received by the Corvallis office at the rate of almost 20 carloads a day, and these were being distributed among the various Oregon dealers, who are do ing most of the cleaning and resack ing for the government agency. Practically all the eligible Aus trian winter pea seed has been sold through the Commodity Credit cor poration at the established rate of 3 cents a pound. Prices on hairy vetch seed, on the other hand, have stayed enough higher than the 7 *4 - cent guaranteed price, so that pri vate dealers have been able to handle most of the crop. Growers have been getting from 7 % cents to 7 % cents a pound for their vetch seed. Reports from throughout the Wil lamette valley indicate that the fed eral purchase program is being car ried out with a minimum of delay and red tape. Growers have been paid for their seed in cash within three or four days of delivery, and seed deal ers have been experiencing less diffi culty than usual in obtaining an ade quate supply of freight cars for the movement of the crop. The program in the southern cot ton belt is also moving along well, as indicated by the steady flow of or ders which are cleared through the Corvallis office. The grant-of-aid program there allows AAA coopera tors who are short of cash to obtain seed now which will be paid for through deductions from next year’s benefit checks.

The Golden Text was, "Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God; thy spirit Is good; lead me into the land of uprightness" (Ps. 143:- 10). Among the citations which com prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "Touch ing the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent In power, and in judgment, and In plenty of Justice: he will not afflict” (Job. 37:23). The Lesson-Sermon also Included the following correlative passages from ths Chrhtlan Science text book, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “As God Himself is good and Is Spirit, goodness and spirituality must be immortal. Their opposites, evil and matter, are mortal error, and error has no creator. If good ness and spirituality are real, evil and materiality are unreal and can not be the outcome of an infinite God, good" (p. 277).
