A distinguished European writer is
quoted as saying: 'Civilization is rot
ting down very widely and nothing is
being done to arrest it." Tlie peril of
this moment of history is emphasized
from a thousand angles of life and
thought.
The moral development of much of
our life is along the lines of recreation
anil ease, of comfort, of luxury, of
settlement Rreat enterprise, of high and conspicu
ous achievements, of the amassing of
great wealth and the building of vast

HOW MUCH DO

Hilvution. That a majority ot the people appreciated mis laci was
shown in the sprinj? elections, when the republicans were decisively
defeated and the Griffith-Collins forces were returned in overwhelm
ing numbers.
lint with all their prating of devotion to democratic principles the
Sinn Fein irreeoneilables, disregarded the verdict of the polls and
proceeded to fight their own countrymen, who through years of
struggle and sacrifice, had at last secured what Ireland hail dream
ed of for a century, virtual control of her own affairs.
It has frequently been said in eritieism of England's Irish policy
that England docs not understand Ireland. "We wonder if anyone
docs, even the Irish themselves. From this distance any sympathetic
understanding seems impossible. The murder of Collins merely adds
authority to the oft-repeated judgment that an. Irishman's love for
a fight exceeds his love for anything, that Ireland does not need a
president nearly as much as it needs a referee.
Wherever the exact truth lies, this much is certain, the death of
Collins will pretty thoroughly remove what sympathy remained i"
this country for the cause, of the Irish irregulars. It will mean or
should mean the end of financial assistance from this side ot the
ceean, to De Valera and his band. That is some gain, even though
slight, for the tragic loss which the true Ireland has sustained.

N INE times I bought some oil well stock, frpm salesmen with

were running high, and I had dreams of princely stale; I thought
of gorgeous things I'd buy, when I had rubles by the crate. Is'fuo

and I was left upon the dump, a hopeless picture of despair. Then
caino a salesman from Long Beach, who wished to sell mo sundry
shares; he said, "Our prospect is a peach, we do not deal in fakes
or snares. There's oil, my friend, 'neath Signal Hill, there's oil
in windrows, heaps and piles; and when our boys begin to drill,
the oil will squirt at least five miles." "Nine times," I said, dis

It is not a matter of the saving of
Methodism. It Is the problem of the
saving and conservation of Christ's re
demption of humanity upon the croBs.
In the spirit ot confidence and loVe
we earnestly entreat our people every
where to join us in a large spirit of
sacrifice and devotion. As your chief
pastors, we pledge ourselves anew to
a larger measure of this spirit. It is
not tho hour in history for Christian
men and women to figure chiefly for
gain, to adjust the scale for personal
advantage, ease or comfort. It is the
hour to lose our time, our strength,
our ability, our lives, our all, that we
may fill up. In a measure at least, the
sufferings of Christ. We are sure that
nothing short of this spirit widely dis
seminated throughout tlie entire mem
bership of our church will meet the
crisis of tliis hour.
"I criticise by creation not by find
ing fault," said the great Michael An
gelo. A greater than he said, "He not
overcome of evil, but overcome evil
with good." 'ihls is the hour for a
constructive view, for a sympathetic
and helpful statement of all the facts,
for a crdative period In the life of our
church. The Living Christ must be
the center of this creative movement.
for In Him is life. A large measure of
this spirit of the Living Christ for each
of us in personal living and then for
others through us'is the only hope of
the world situation as it is related to
our own church. The demand is urgent
the need heartbreaking, the opportuni
ty strategic. Let every man of us do
his best. i
This statement was issued after
three days of consideration of tlie
mutters with which It deals. It is
signed by Bishop W. F. Anderson, sec
retary of the board. '
Tho part of the statement of especial
interest to the Methodist , Episcopal
church deals with the Centenary move
ment. Urging Methodists everywhere
to meet their Centenary obligations
that Christianity, at least so far as
Methodism is concerned, shall not fall
he bishops say:
The destiny of the1 world hinges
upon Chrlstiunlty. Our tremendous re
sponsibllity hns driven us anew to our
knees. Our faith assures us of the re-
cources which are in God and we have
confidence to believe still in the loyal
ty of the heart of the church. It has
never been the custom of Methodism
to fall. We do not believe our church
will fall now. We pledge you our all
that It shall not fail. Brethren, pray
for us!
The Centenary record of tho local
Methodist Episcopal church Is said by
tlie pastor to lie most excellent. When
subscriptions for this cause were taken
tho sum of approximately thirteen
thousand dollars was pledged. The
subscriptions were made to cover a
period of five years. The report of the
last annual conference showed that the
local church had paid one hundred per
tout of its subscriptions due to that
date.
Kev. Sasnett said today, "Our people
are loyal to the interests of the church.
-Many of the members of our church
will" bo able to meet their Centennry
subscriptions only by great personal
sacrifice. How they shall respond to
the call of our bishops will be seen
when tlie treasurer makes up the re
port for the, annual conference, which
meets In Salem Sept. G. 1 believe most
of the Centenary subscriptions will be
paid In time to be Included In the re
ports to be read at the local church
conference, which will he hold here
Friday evening of this week. I am con
fident that the high standard of one
hundred per cent will be maintained.'

A. V. Amet of the Agriculturist Mar
ion Products company of Tacoma has
been in Medford tho past few days
making arrangements to supply local
dealers with fertilizers. In speaking
about the value of fertilizers in raising
fruit Mr. Amet said today:
Knney fruit always brings n premium
in the market and a one-sided fertilizer
or a simple, will not produce a fancy
fruit, although often it has been shown
In new regions that the quality may
sometimes be maintained for a year or
so by the use of simples.
Hi the spring, after the soil Is worked
a liberal application of spring fertilizer
should be made in order to strengthen
tho trees, or vines so that they wili
properly function at the time when
blossoms nre forming. A third applica

when tho vino or tree la coming into
full bloom. A great many famers fig
tiro on making only one application of
fertilizer a year, forgetting the law of
nature that living things prefer to eat
less nt a time and more often for best
health and highest efficiency. The
extra time and labor consumed in mak
ing two or three fertilizer applications
as well recompensed iu better results
as against where the same amounts of
fertilizer are used put on all at one
