PROCLAMATION

To the People Of the State of OREGON:
The prune industry Is one of the
greatest horticultural industries within
| the State of Oregon Nearly forty
| thousand acres Of our finest aericui-
tural lands are planted with prune
trees. Last year, despite adverse
weather conditions, thirty million
pounds of prunes were harvested In
the state. or this number but eight
million have been sold. The twenty.
two million pounds unsold represent
an enormous asset to the State of Ore
gon IL they can be moved and placed in
the hands OF the consumers. The fact
that they are lying idle jeopardises this
enormous industry The people of the
State of Oregon should give widest CO.
operation to the prune growers to
meet the grave situation.
| hereby designate the week from
February 14th to February 10Th, In
elusive, as Prune Week within this
state. | call upon the good spirit OF
our people to join in q movement to
assist this great industry, not only for
the good Of the industry itself, but for
the good Of the people of the state as
a whole. | urge that every home in
Oregon take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity which is presented by the prune
growers to become well stocked with
this nourshing and healthy fruit
ask cooperation from hotels, grocers,
restaurants, or from any other source
which may give assistance, and l also
bespeak the hearty cooperation Of the
press, which is always freely given In
the furtherance of every proper and
beneficial movement This Is a serious
situation, involving the welfare Of
thousands of our best citizens. Prompt
and hearty response from the people
of Oregon In the purchase of one OF
our greatest home products will re.
lieve the situation and bring about
a quick betterment of conditions. |
am certain the appeal Of the prune
growers will not be in vain.
Very, sincerely yours,
Ben w. Olcott, Governor.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
fa ASKS COOPERATION

Issues Appeal to Toledo People fol-
Entertainment for Delegates Com.
ing to Attend Lincoln County I'm.
provement Conference, Feb. 1919.
Following its original precepts to
assist in every movement tending to-
ward the betterment of Lincoln Coun-
ty, the Chamber of Commerce has
Joined hands with the other CONNER
cial bodies of the county, the Grange,
the Farm Bureau, the dairymen and
sheep and goat farmers particularly,
in putting on a big two-day Lincoln
County Improvement Conference sche-
duled at Toledo February 18th and
10Th. ... ....
Never did Lincoln County face a
more stalled condition than at pres
ent," stated County Agent Cooter, in
discussing the need for the conference.
"The goat and sheep farmers have
last years clip on their hands and
the prospects for market improve
ment is slight. The dairyman is fast
approaching a condition where his re.
turns will not meet the cost Of
production. Hogs and beef cattle can
not be grown at profit under pres
ent conditions. Hides are not worth
the skinning. Potatoes will not much
more than pay for their transporta,
tion to market. Eggs are down, and
1t is reported they will hit 20 cents per
dozen before summer is over. WIN
no money for road or bridge improve
ment, tie condition Of the isolated sec
tions is a matter Of serious concern
to every Lincoln County citizen
The plan is to bring in delegates
from every section Of the county, go
over the situation and try to work
out some plan Of relief.
Agriculture Is Basic Industry
"As a county, we are ashamed 'ot
our low agricultural production" said
Mr. Cooter, but when you mention
greater production to the average
farmer, he says at once, Where can
market it?' From the standpoint OF
better marketing alone, Tillamook
and Coos counties are getting 10 cents
a pound more for their butterfat than
Lincoln County. The Conference plans
better marketing system for our
farmers, and II this can be accomp'
lished, great good will come to the
whole county.
Chamber Helps Sawmiils
Just this morning word was re-
ceived that thru the efforts OF the
Chamber Of Comm cree the rate on
shipments OF ties from the local mills
to Portland had been reduced from 10
to 12h cents per hundred. Mr.. Nc
Cluskey said This means a clear
saving Of $4,000 a day to our mill-it
means bigger payroll for Lincoln
County"

To Raise this Year
Normal School Leads All Others In Pledges
To Raise this Year

The first years service Of Presi-
dent Hutchins is now closing, and il
has been one Of the most successful
within the history OF Berea College.
The question which the College faces
now is not one Of getting students
but one Of caring for the students
who are begging to come. The full
capacity Of the dormitories and class
rooms for next year has been as
signed and hundreds Of applications
are still coming in.
There is much needed equipment as
well as new teachers, and when the
matter was presented to the students,
they started the campaign with a
big boost.
The campaign is to be pushed into
many cities and states, but the most
influential gifts should come from
Kentucky.

Baccalaureate Sermon
BY President William Huchns in College Chapel, Sunday
June S, 1921

Berea College with its varied ac.
tivities and phases of life furnishes
many notable occasions thruout the
year, but none are more significant
than Baccalaureate Sunday with its
procession Of graduates from all de-
partments to the College Chapel, and
the special address to the graduating
classes.
The weather man was in good
humor and smiled approvingly on the
long line Of students, one hundred
and forty-fve who have successfully
completed their respective courses,
as they marched to the Chapel, pre-
ceded by the alliance officers and
teachers. The Chapel was crowded
to full capacity by the large audi
ence Of students, citizens, and visi-
tors TO Berea.
Prof. J. Watt Raine offered the in
vocation, the scripture lesson was
read by President Hutchins, and DR..
Raymond led in prayer.
The music was in charge of Pro-
fessor Rigby, and the anthem rem
dered by the choir was especially fine.
President William j. Hutchins
preached the sermon from the text,
I. Kings 19:15-the word Of the Lord
to the prophet Elijah-"Go return on
thy way"
While the message was addressed
especially to the young people of the
graduating classes, it was a forceful,
earnest appeal to all to take the
prophets road to the common life Of
men. In his Introductory words the
speaker expressed his desire to think
with all the congregation Of the
things which deter us all. and which
help us all as we seek to be speakers
for God to men. Following are some
of the outstanding paragraphs in the
splendid address:
"Elijah, go return upon thy way"
i Kings 1915.
One cannot escape from life and be
n prophet. One may find or make a
cave and dwell within high walls of
self-conceit, but one thus surrenders
the prophets robe and the prophets
right.
But, what's the use? What, If |
do go down into the common life of
men? Well. I remember what Elijah
did when he returned from the
wilderness to the world.
Ahab wanted a bit of property
which adjoined the palace, little
garden of heYbs he wanted-that was
all. He offered the owner, Naboth,
better piece of land or the worth of
the vineyard in money. With curl
GUS obstinacy, Naboth refused to sell
and proceeded to invoke the name of
Jehovah. Ahab sulked like a spoiled
child, upon his bed. Jezebel did not

Of Berea College and Allied Schools
during the Chapel hour this morning
opened the great financial campaign
which is being launched by the Col
legc.
The Normal School forged ahead
10 the tune Of ten thousand dollars,
which will make an excellent begin

The campaign among the students

ing in every hour.
The Institution with its FIVE great
schools and more than two thousand
