Great Convention Of Knights of Py-
thias in Portland in August.

On the night of August 2 Walter
B. Ritchie of Lima, Ohio, who will de-
liver his famous address on Friend
ship" at Portland, Oregon.
The event will be in connection
with the Supreme Lodge Meeting OF
the Knights of Pythias, of which Mr..
Ritchie is past Supreme Chancellor.
1t is one of the masterpieces of the
English language, and no man has
ever yet listened to the address with
out having stirred within his breast
all the nobler qualities of his soul.
Mr.. Ritchie is coming to Portland
for the express purpose of speaking
his wonderful message of cheer to the
Knights of the West and Northwest,
and the largest auditorium in Port
land has ben engaged for the accomo-
dation of the crowd that is expected.
1t is lecture that has been de-
dicated to the work of the order
of Knights of Pythias, and its author
has refused big money to place u on
the Chautauqua circuits. No admis-
sion charge will be made to hear it.
Portland is sending out invitations
to all the West and Northwest to visit
that city during the conventions es-
pecially urging the knights OF
Pythias and their families to visit
what they claim to be the most beau
tiful city in America. Portland has
recently expended $4,000,000 on
boulevards and has opened up vast
treasure of scenic attractions. With
her 500 miles of rose hedges in bloom
in August, and with her famous
Columbia River Highway, Portland
announces her ability to furnish the
finest summer vacation in America.
Reduced rates will be in effect on
all railroads.

Rural Credits Measure Would Help
the Farmer.

GAS it now stands the rural credits
constitutional amendment has prota-
bly, combined within it the wisdom of
a larger number of people than any
bill that has been submitted to the
people of Oregon since the adoption
of the constitution says DR.. Hector
MACPHERSON, of the 0. A. c. Bureau
of Organization and Markets, who has
been connected with the preparation
Of the measure.
1.-The trainers of this measure,
continues DR.. Macpherson, claim
neither honor nor originality for
themselves. They have been assem-
blers of ideas and not originators.
They have consulted farmers in all
parts of the state, lawyers, bankers,
real estate dealers, statesmen and
professors of agricultural economics.
The paramount aims were absolute
safety on the one hand, and safe
guarding the system from abuse by
land spectators on the other hand.
Students of the measure will recog-
nize that the committee has gone the
iimitiin attempting to achieve both OF
these aims
Copies of the final draft were sub
mitted to rural credits experts of Cal
ifornia, Harris Weinstock and Pro-
fessor Elwood Meade. Professor
Meade has had seven years exper-
ienee as director of similar but
more far reaching system of rural
credits in Australia. Both of these
experts commend the measure and
claim that its adoption will tend to
promote the prosperity of the farmers
and the agricultural development Of
Oregon. Mr.. Meade hopes that the
measure will be the fore-runner Of
further legislation that will authorize
state advances to settlers to assist
tenant farmers and young people en-
tering on their life work to become
land owners.
"What we most need now," con.
cluded DR.. Macpherson, sis volun-
teers who will give enough time to
the movement to get 100 names on
the petition within the next few days
and then keep up their educational
propaganda until they know the bill
is passed in November"
Copies may be had of G. E. Spence,
Oregon City, or J. d. Brown, Airing
ton.

Reports from the different farming
sections of the county indicate that
very iittle damage was caused to
growing crops from the severe warm
winds of last week. In an ordinary
year, damage might have resulted,

great supply of moisture which was
stored up during the winter VIII serve
as good crop insurance. The rains
