EASTER

No week in the whole year has
more meaning for the human race and
especially for the American nation
than this one. In 1t occurs the ami
versaries Of the mock trial and cruci-
fixion and resurrection Of Jesus Of
Nazareth, the supreme events in this
mans history that give an interpreta.

the events upon which our modern
civilization is founded. They are the
events that gave birth to this nation
and produced those great events In
Washington in Holy Week, 1917. The
churches Of Toledo have perfected
their plans for Easter and extend a
hearty welcome to every citizen of To-
ledo to meet with any one Of them and
give voice to his appreciation Of Divine
benefits At st. Johns church, last

sacrament of spiritual nourishment
At the same time, the vicar dedicated
new set OF altar linen, a new set of
clerical vestments, and pair Of brass

PORT OF NEWPORT
MAY LEASE RAILROAD

A movement has been on foot at
Newport for some little time with re-
gard to the leasing of the north spruce
railroad by the Port Of Newport.
AS we understand 1t the idea Is for
the Port to lease the road from the
government, then the Port would sub
let the road to some reliable contrac-
tor, logger or millman to operate. In
this way they would at once get action
on the timber assets and secure the
location of mills on the bay.
A majority of the people Of the
Resort City favor the proposition, we
are told, and the project will prob
ably be oonsiimated in the near future.
Several iumhermen have looked the
proposition over with view to 10
eating on The bay.

(Farm Bureau News)

(Farm Bureau News)
So satisfied were the officers OF the
Farm Bureau and the people in the
different communities with the success
of the extension schools. recently held
at Nashville, Ona ana Siletz, = 1T we
made immediate request for more of
these schools with the result that
there have been scheduled one-day
schools at
Eddyville, April 9Th
Toledo, April Sth
Waldport, April 10th
1t is likely that illustrated lectures
will be held on the nights proceeding
these meetings at each of these places
respectively.
We will have the same corps Of
instructors, with the exception of Mr..
Kehrli and Miss Biles. Professor
Fits will handle the dairying work,
Professor Carpenter will talk crops.
and Miss Lane will take care of tho
home economics work
The Eddyville school will be held
in conjunction with the annual meet
ing OF the Eddyville Mohair and Wool
Growers Association, and should be a
big event in the Eddyville community.
Toledo community was expressing
dissatisfaction In not having had one
of the former schools, so now 1t Ii
up to you, Toledo to give good
crowd this time. The meeting at Wald-
port will be the first Of its kind
held in that community, and knowing
as we do know the people there,
enough is said when we say that there
will be good crowd and good meet
ing.
We will have the advantage of the
former schools in the way Of planning
our program, as an instance, the dairy
judging work put on at Siletz was
one of the most appreciated part Of
the former schools; consequently, a
part of each of the programs of these
schools will be the judging demon
stration. This work will begin prompt
ly at 10 o'clock, so if you are interes-
ted in seeing the judging demonstra-,
tion work, get up before daylight on
the day of the school In your COM
