however that a great deal OF the
picking will be done by growers
themselves.
Logan Tonnage Great
Tonnage on loganberries has
been better this week than ever
before. The average tonnage Of
the three canneriea for every day
this week has been 40 tons, but
with the beginning OF next week
It Is expected that there will be a
sharp decline.
Estimates as to what percentage
OF the loganberry crop OF the state
will be dried are not available.
Cannerymen claim that many
growers who planned drying are
now bringing their berries to can
neries and receiving the market
price rather than deal with the
doubtful market for the dried
product. 1t Is believed that about
30 per cent of the entire crop of
loganberries throughout the state
will go into juice.

average crop taken over a period
of ten years, according to S. H.
Van Trup, county fruit inspector.
There are about 400 acres in the
immediate vicinity in pears which.
due to improper pollinization, will
only bring about $50 tons. A large
part Of this will be taken care of
by local consumption.

We have noticed with much salts
faction that several of the great
daily newspapers of San Francisco
have declined to print the filthy de-
tails of the Arbuckle trial. This de-
notes a degree of regard for public
welfare that is most heartening and
encouraging. 1t indicates that pub
fishers are coming to realize the bale
full and permanently demoraliMng in
fluence of the publication of salsc-
ious matter. The newspapers are the
greatest single factor in shaping the
public conscience, and it is of vast
Importance that they should be di-
rected by ethics of the most con-

In other columns of this paper APP
pear notices Of meetings in several
neighboring country churches. 1t
will also be noted that the persons
who wrote the notices display great
concern touching the value of
churches in their respective COM
munities and in urging their fellow
citizens to attend and support them.
The Messenger would be glad to say
something that might be helpful to
this cause. 1t is impossible to over
estimate the beneficial influence of
the churches. The influence of
Christianity has been by great odds
the most important factor in the up
building of the social and political
life. as well as the religious life, of
to-day. When people fail in their
understanding of the life and teach
ings of Jesus Christ, when they fail
in a large way to support the only
organized institutions which propa-
gate and keep those beneficent in
fluences alive, they are adopting a
practice which threatens all of the
fundamentals of human happiness.
We do not counsel people to love
puritanism and pull long faces and
wear sackcloth and ashes and neither
the religion of Jesus Christ nor
adherence to Christian churches rem
ders any such thing necessary, in our
opinion. The Christian religion is a
joyous thing. The more we have of
it the happier we are; broadened in
every attribute of good citizenship,
enlarged in understanding touching
all of beautiful things that make life
worth living. The Sunday school is a
tremendously important adjunct Of
the public school. 1t is the cradle, we
are inclined to believe. of civilization;
at all events of leadership in that
behalf; and the boys and girls of to-
day are to manage the world Of to-
morrow-after the fashion in which
they have been trained. No people
ever forgot it's obligation to its God
and prospered; none ever can. Let
us put ignorance aside, prejudice
aside, debasing pleasure aside and
render just tribute to God by attend
ing and supporting his churches.

In confutation of the gloomy pre-
dictions of all of the cave men of the
present day and all of the pessimists
and alarmists, the arms conference is
accomplishing mighty things. The
great nations have practically agreed
to the program for reduction Of both
land and naval forces. They are NOV
ing for the independence of China
and for an era of international
comfy and good will. This confer
ence, to our mind, will pave the way
for a real League of Nations whose
edicts will rest not upon force but
upon the quickened conscience of the
world. We have faith to believe it
will introduce that splendid era fore
told by Tennyson "when the war
drums throb no longer, when the
battle flags are furled, in the parlia-
ment of man, the federation of the
world"
