HIGHW AY COURTESY—
VERY Oregon motorist can perform a ser­
A
vice to1 his state by a courteous attitude
toward visiting motor tourists, declares Dr. E. B.
McDaniel, president of the Oregon State Motor
Association, discussing the importance o f such
a spirit among resident motorsts.
Good motorng manners as well as a proper
regard for the business value o f Oregon’s im­
mense and growing tourist travel trade requires
an attitude of hospitable courtesy toward “ the
stranger within our gates,” the motorist leader
declared.
“ While displays of discourtesy on the high­
way are always a thing to be avoided,” he con­
tinued, “ they are particularly deplorable when
the display of bad motoring manners is directed
toward a visiting motorist.
“ Courtesy is an essential part of hospitality
and the Oregon motorist who fails to heed that
fact performs a distinct disservice to his state.
“ A too rigid insistence as to right o f way, un­
necessary and irritable blasts of the hom, and
other failures of courtesy are bad enough when
another home state motorist is involved.
“ But when they are directed toward a motor­
ist with out-of-state license plates on his car they
veiy definitely jeopardize Oregon’s reputation
for hospitality. Visitors are particularly sensi­
tive to the treatment they receive. They eagerly
appreciate courtesy, but they also resent and bit­
terly remember the lack o f it.
“ Make the visiting motorist traveling-in Ore­
gon feel that he is a welcome and appreciated
guest, entitled to every courtesy and considera­
tion.
SURELY, NOT POLITICS?—
IRD hunters in this city and surrounding
B
country are wondering, and with reason, why
the Oregon Game Commission abandoned the
tagging station here in Nyssa. As it stands now
anyone wishing to tag a bird has to drive all the
way to Ontario, to get a five cent tag. And of
course if you care to, you can store your bird in
some Ontario cooler. If our memory serves us
right, Nyssa has three or four meat shops that
are quite able to store birds for the local hunters,
and hunters from the coast too. Anyone connect­
ed with hunting or the regulation o f hunters is,
on the face o f things, presumed to be an expon­
ent o f good sportsmanship. And we are sure that
if local huntsmen will approach the Game Com­
missioner, in Ontario we may eliminate the nec­
essity o f driving twenty-six miles to get a five
cent bird tag.

THE MIGHT OF THE
INDEPENDENT RETAILER—
IGURES gathered from the U. S. Bureau o f
F
the Census, show the independent mer­
chant still controls the nation’s business by a
vast margin. In the U. S. there are 1,474,149 in-
denendent stores and 139,819 chain stores. The
independents do 73.1 per cent o f the total busi­
ness o f the nation, and chain stores 22.8 per
cent; the remaining 4.1 per being done from
house to house, bv catalogs, etc. These figures
prove the might o f the “ independent” merchant.
— Industrial News Review. And the reason that
the independent merchant is out in front, in vol­
ume o f business and numbers, is that the pur­
chasing agent is not miles away from the cus­
tomer that comes into his store. The local mer­
chant knows his customers, their likes and dis­
likes, and because his success depends on their
patronage he eaters to the quality and ‘personal
service’ idea that will make them want to come
back. More than that, practically all o f his money
is spent in the community in which his store is
located. His home is there, likewise his interest.
He wants to see his community grow and pros­
per, and to that end, he does his utmost to give
to you, his customer, the best service and quality
oods at the lowest possible price.

THE POWER O f
•
GOSPEL
By Rev. Ernest C. Knull
Pastor of the Assembly of God
Church
1 Thess. 1:5. 'For our gospel came
not unto you In word only, but also
in power, and In the Holy Ghost,
and in much assurance."
No Power in the world Is as quick,
and wonderful as that of the Gos­
pel of Jesus Christ. In our coun­
try we try to accomplish the refor­
mation of men and women. We
build great institutions with high
walls and iron bars. Seemingly this
has been the only solution. Men and
women are put into cells and the
key turned in the lock. Solitary con­
finement and straight Jackets a.e
used in trying to break their spirit
and make them do the right thing
when they are released. These
things may change a person out­
wardly: but they leave the real man
—the hidden man of the heart un­
touched.
The power cf the Gospel of Jesus
Christ
accomplishes
that which
locks, keys, jail and straight jackets
can never accomplish. The all-pow­
erful Gospel of Jesus Christ is able
to open the doors of th? prise ns of
doubt and fear; bring freedom to
the captive; light to them that sit
in darkness;
peace for those in
trouble and liberty to those who are
bound Praise God for the Gospel!
Education is splendid! We need
It! We must have it But the power
of the Gospel goes deeper than the
head. It goes down in to the very
heart and not only cleanses and
makes white, but It takes all the
hatred and bitterness away. It is
not a Gospel of words only. It is a
Gospel of power! The very entrance
of His werd giveth light!
The power of the Gospel can
change a man. It can really save
f.om sin. It doesn't matter who you
are or what your station in life,
there is power In the Gospel of
Jesus Christ to make you straight
with Ood and with men. It is the
thing that can meet the need of
every man. It is the only thing
that can meet the universal need
It has been said that years ago
when Mr Moody was young some­
one sent him a package of novels" to
read.
He read them, but found
nothing to really satisfy Then, one
day turning the pages of one of
the books he discovered a little
pamphlet called. "Salvation to the
Uttermost" by Chas. H Spurgeon.
He read and re-read It. Then he
fell upon
his knees befoce Ood.
the glory of the Lord 8hown down
and he was converted Later he told
the story of how he had been born
•gain.
NOVELS COULD NOT DO IT;
but the power of salvation through
the Blood of Jesus Christ had
changed a heart and life and
through that life countless other
lives have felt the power of the
Gospel
This power is the most mighty
force in the whole wide world. It
can sweep away down deep into
hearts and lives
It can vanquish
every enemy, give us joy and peace
Oh. the comfort of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ! It comforts while you
are Ivlng and It comforts when you
come to die

OPINIONS
Interesting bits of history
gleaned from the files of years
ago.
Word came from Washington that
cockroaches have become a nuisance
in the national capltol, galloping
across the legislators desks and ser­
iously lnterferring with the work of
our lawmakers.
Possibly this ac­
counts Jn port, at least, for the
paucty of achievement of the legis­
lative session just closed.
Washington, D. C. motorists are
all 'het up’ over the attempt to raise
tlie gasoline tax above 2 cents per
gallon.
They evidently don't ap­
preciate the blessings a benevolent
government has showered on them.
They should come to Oregon.

Editor Journal—The question of
when, if ever, the world is coming
to an end is slill a burning issue in
the minds of many. Ever since Rev.
Miller nearly a hundred years ago
became inbred with the idea that
the end was imminent, the question
has exercised the minds of those
religiously inclined. Rev. Miller
himself set two definite dates for
the finish, but nothing happened
either time. At various times since
definite dates have been set but
apparently some mistake was made
each time in interpreting various
passages of scripture. Even Jesus
appears to have fallen down on his
date. In reply to a direct question
by his Apostl es as to when the end
would come he
enumerated the
various signs and
wonders
that
would Immediately precede the end
and declared: ‘"nits generation shall
not pass until all these things be
fullfiUed" Matt 24 St. John also
in Revelations repeatedly stated
that the end was at hand.
How are these various predictions
to be reconciled with the fact that
the end has not yet come, 1900 years
after the predlcitions were made?
This is a question that I believe
would interest your forum readers
and an article by some believer in
the near approach of the end, set­
ting forth the thought of the
churhes on the question would be
illuminating and instructive.—Harry

Tucked away on a grand forty
acre farm, about cne and a half
miles west of the Owyhee school,
Mr. and Mrs. Pet? Wilson, their son
and daughter, are finding the ans­
wer to all farmer’s prayer—Water!
Coming from Greeley, Colorado, the
Wilson family arrived here on the
12th of March of this year.
The decision to locate on the
Owyhee Project was the result of
drougth in the section frem which
they moved. This, coupled with an
advertisement in the Denver Post
advising farmers of the wonders of
the Owyhee Project helped to bring
our ¿hterprising new neighbors to
this district. Mr. Wilson has a
brother living in Homedale, Idaho,
who can come in for his share of
thanks for advising his brother to
locate here.
Mr. Wilson has put his farm to
good use, for the first year. This
spring’s crop included oats, wh at
and an excellent stand o f millet.
Besides raising this very fine crop
Mr. Wllscn has found time to gath­
er together a fine, herd of cattle
Most of the farming is done with a
tractor altho Pete also keeps a span
of herses just to make it seem more
like a farm!

ST. LOUIS.—Handling the flow of
fruit
and vegetables passing
through the ten leading auction
markets of the United States each
year requires the utilization of morn
than 1,000,000 square feet of ware­
house space, according to a bulletin
issued here by the American Fruit
and Produce Auction Association.
"Through these warehoues swiftly
puss more than 100.000 carloads of
fruit and produce annually from
growers In the producing areas
thousands of miles away to big
city buyers and on to the consum­
ers," says the bulletin.
"On vast display floors in each
auction market, samples of fruit
and vegetables in the shipments to
be sold each day are examined by
the buyers representing jobbers,
wholesalers, retailers, chain stores
and independents.
"Were It not for such modern
handling and display facilities plus
the rapid and efficient sales meth­
ods employed on the auction mar­
kets, shippers of highly perishable
products such as cherries, grapes,
citrus and other kinds of fruit and
vegetables, could not sell in th#
vast quantities they do each year.”
