Civilization and Missions.

There is a question that is larger
than government or trade, and that is
the moral ~well-being of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
ton of modern governments. The rep
r%esentative of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the mar of government and trade, and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization can only be per-
manent and continue a blessing to any
people if, in addition to promoting
their material well-being, it also
stands for an orderly individual liber-
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
of law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor of the
foreign missionary in a single genera
ton has been remarkable.

Paid In Form of New Stock Worth

Chicago, Feb. 14.-The directors of
the Pullman company decided at spe-
cial meeting today to give the stock
holders stock dividend of 20 per cent
on the corporations 500. 000.00 of
capital. This will call for the issuance
of 500, 900, 900 Of new capital, worth
nearly $40, 900, 900 in the open market,
which will be given to the present
shareholders without cost and will
swell the compsny's total capital stock
to 1920, 900, 900.
Pullman stock pays So share divi-
dend each year, and sells in the mar
ket at $l9S share, or nearly twice
par value. This stock dividend of 20
per cent is about the equivalent of 40
per cent, therefore, on the par value of
the stock.
In statement made by directors an
nouncing the dividend, this afternoon,
1t was pointed out that "the considera-
tions influencing this action were that
the increased investment in the manu-
featuring facilities of the company had
been so material and considerable as
to justify the directors in the belief
that it should be represented in addi-

SAVE ORCHARDS FROM PESTS
Systematic Spraying and Pruning
Works Wonders.

Systematic Spraying and Pruning
Works Wonders.
Eugene-What may be accomplished
by systematic spraying and judicious
pruning of old orchards is illustrated
in the experience of John Thramer,
who has 35-acre farm in peaches.
cherries, and walnuts on the island b. =
tween the millrace and the Willamette
river on the outskirts of Eugene. He
purchased this farm five years ago.
The cherry trees looked to him, he
says, like a tamarack patch that had
been burned over.
Mr.. Thramer cut back the cherry
trees vigorously and sprayed well. The
first year the entire crop was 5000
pounds free from blemishes. The sec
ond year the yield from the same part
of the orchard was IA, 900 pounds. The
third year was proportionately greater.
He now holds his warehouse receipts
for 80, pounds, representing last
years crops. His net profit from four
acres of cherries last year was 1914 40,
after deducting all proper charges for
expenses. From one and half acres
of peaches he obtained clear profit of
$425.95, after deducting all expenses.
On three quarters of an acre of his
older cherry orchard on which go trees
are crowded, the average yield was g.
900 pounds. Mr.. Thramer's potato
crop will 60 225 bushels to the acre,
the loss from freezing being very
small.
