Masters method was full of suggestions
to His students. The message was proba-
bly, about the kingdom OF God. He may
have selected the same text as He did at

Him to heal the broken-hearted, to
preach deliverance to the captfves. the re-
covery of sight to the blind. to set at lib

claim the acceptable year of the Lord
The manner of Christ's teaching differed
from the customary traditional methods
of the rabbis and scribes, who repeated
the traditions of men and gave the inter
pretations of the Sanhedrin. scholars and
scribes. for Christ spoke with authority.
Back of the law, prophets and psalms was
the Spirit of the Son of God who made
real the Old Testament message and Its
application to their life. His word was
sin power and in the Holy Spirit"
The minister with message today has
it on the authority of Christ. If he gives

He had completed His sermon Jesus, who

Him. told them to push of into deep
water and all throw your nets for a
haul" The night before had evidently
been stormy because they had caught
nothing, and had been washing their
nets of the stones and sand, and mending
when Christ requested the use Of their
boat The title given Christ shows that
Peter and his companions recognized
Jesus as an overseer. and they obeyed,
although the night before they had
caught nothing. Obedience to Gods law

whelmed Peter and his partners. The
significance of the miracle was in the
preparation of the followers of Christ to
heed the Lords request. Follow me and
take men alive.
The summons was given to men who
had confessed Him as Christ and enrolled
as His followers. Jesus did not ask them
to enter His training school to be edu-
knowing their fitness. The two pair of
brothers were among His earliest con-
verts. They were tried men, yet they
were not perfect men. They were busy
men, whose steadfast friendship and faith
had been tested. They must have had
some social position because one of them
was acquainted with the high priest.
They may have been men of means, for
they had hired servants.
The invitation came after Jesus had an
open break with the Jewish authorities
and the Imprisonment of John. They real
lied the significance of the call to pre-
pare for the greatest and most glorious
task in the world ito take men alive for
Christ. 1t meant the giving up Of their
business. the receiving of training diff

Tillamook, Ore.-First steps for

county development league, to in

the county, were taken at a mass
meeting held at the rooms of the

numerous speakers that much good
would result from cooperation
among the clubs in the future.
A resolution was passed authoriz-

changes as the different conditions
make advisable.

NEW PEST IN CHERRIES.
Prof. O'Gara Has Discovered Sawny
in the Valley.

Professor O'Gara has discovered a
new pest that preys upon the cherry.
1t is called the cherry sawfly. Con-
cerning it, he says:
For the past two years this of
flee has been investigating the cherry
fruit sawfly (Hoplocampa californi-
ca), which has been found in two
or three localities. This little insect
attacks the sweet cherry more than
it does related fruits, although it
has been found to trouble the prune
to some extent. In the near future
a bulletin will be published giving
in detail the life history of the in
sect, as well as the best methods for
controlling it another season. For
the present, we will indicate very
briefly a few important facts con-
cerning it.
This insect has been known in
California for some time, and has
been particularly noted in the Suisun
valley. How long the insect has
been in this valley is not known, but
the writer has observed it for the
past three seasons. The life history
OF the insect is as follows:
In the spring of the year the
small fourwinged fly emerges from
the pupa which lives over winter in
the ground in the larval stage. The
mature four-winged fly deposits her
eggs in the sepals of the expanding
cherry flowers, the eggs Matching
about the time the petals are falling.
The minute larva at once bores its
way into the young fruit, eating out
the pit and surrounding tissue, leav-
ing only small part of the fruit as
shell. The larva then emerges
from the fruit and goes into the
ground for pupation.
The larva lives in the soil per-
haps three or four inches below the
surface, and remains there during
the season, coming out the following
spring as a mature fly. Attempts
to control this insect have been made
by deep cultivation shortly after the
larva enters the soil This has been
only partially successful, as it is not
always possible to plow very deep
without injuring the root system o.
the tree. Another control measure
Is in the use or arsenicals or with
contact sprays. If an arsenical is
used, it should be applied before the
blossoms have opened. Arsenate of
lead is the arsenical which is best
adapted to the control of this in
sect, although it is by no means en-
tirely effective.
In forthcoming bulletin the in
sect and its life history will be more
completely described, and the meth
DDS of control will also be given in
detail. The bulletin will be issued
in time for next seasons USE"

HEADQUARTERS CHOSEN.
Western PrOgressives VIII Manage
Campaign from San Francisco.

Chicago.-Col, Roosevelt's cam
paign for the presidency in Oregon,
Washington and California and prob
ably New Mexico and Nevada will be
directed from San Francisco.
This was the announcement here
by United States senator Joseph M.
Dixon of Montana, chairman of the
progressive national committee, fol-
lowing a conference with George w.
Perkins, chairman of the executive
committee. Main headquarters of
the party will be established in Chi
cago Monday and, in addition to San
Francisco, branch offices will be es-
tablished in New York, Boston and
Atlanta.
1t was not stated who would be
placed in charge of the San Francisco
branch, but it is believed this man
will be named by Governor Hiram
w. Johnson of California, Colonel
Roosevelt's running mate. 1t ap-
peared certain that Medill McCor-
mick of Chicago and William Allen
White of Emporia, Kan, would have
charge of the Chicago headquarters,
but official announcement has not
been made.
Senator Dixon said he planned to
divide the country into five political
zones with a vice-chairman in charge
of each branch. Each bureau is to
be provided with campaign speakers
and literature and each will have it's
own finance committee.
