BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 2-FOrty years
ago today the young people of the Willis
ton church, in Portland, Me, met at the
suggestion of their pastor to form a So
ciety among themselves for religious train
ing and social and literary culture. The
pastor who took the initiative in the
movement and formulated the plan of or
ganiZatiOn was the Rev. Francis L. Clark,

a humble way was given the name of The
Young Peoples Society of Christian En-
deavOr."
Today the 40th anniversary of the So
ciety viii be celebrated by millions of its
members, representing branch OrganlZa-
tons in every part of the world.
Probably no similar organization in the
entire history of the world has ever en-
jOyed such a phenomenal growth as has
the Christian EndeavOr society. Within
a few years of its birth it had spread
across the Atlantic, and later was carried
to the most distant parts of the globe. At
the close of the first 20 years of the move
ment, nearly 10000 societies, with over
1000. 900 of members had been enrolled
in all parts of the world. Within the
past 20 years these figures have steadily
increased. Almost since the first incep-
ton of the society its general headQuar-
tiers have been located in Boston, where
within the past two years magnificent
new building has been erected to house
the general offices.
DR.. Francis f. Clark, who has been
the guiding spirit of the organization from
the start, was born in Aylmer. Quebec.
of New England parentage. He lost his
father during the cholera epidemic of 1858.
When he was seven years old his mother
also passed away. She was an earnest
Christian worker and pioneer in religious
efforts. and it was from her that DIR.
Clark largely inherited his literary ability
and his inclination for active religious
work.

richest agricultural provinces in the

vast agricultural resources, was un-
precedented IN history.
The centers of the war zone here
were Ypres. Furnes, DiXmude, Ostend

Josephine county, that should help
to improve the dairy stock in this
valley. Ii there is'anything in good
breeding, this animal should be Of
the best as his breeding shows that
there are three gold medal sires
back Of him. Two on the sire's side,
Rosaires Olga Lad and St. Mawes,
and Golden CLOVIS Chief on the dam 5
side. These three sires have produc-
ed more worlds record cows than
any other sires in the breed so this
animal should be of splendid COM
bination.
Mr.. Hoover is a member of the
cow-testing association and was in
terested in. this animal through the
association. He is determined to i'm
prove his herd and that he has al
raidy made progress is shown in
comparing the herd average of Jan
uary. 1920, with that of January,

Ill pounds, an increase of over %
per cent in buttefat per COW. To make
this improvement Mr.. Hoover has
sent seventeen Improbable cows TO

with high grade cows. Mr. Hoover
gives all credit for this great increase
in production to the information and
help the Rogue River Valley Cow
