A Three Days' Cough Is Your Danger Signal No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold, or bronchial Irritation, you can Bet relief now with Creomulsion.

Your druggist Is authorized to refund your money if you are not thoroughly satisfied with the bene fits obtained from the very first bottle. Creomulsion is one word not two, and It has no hvphen In It. Ask for it plainly, see that the name on the bottle Is Creomulsion, and you'll get the genuine product and tho relief you want. (Adv.) Although the index of the gen eral level of farm prices In Ore gon has dropped approximately 1(i per cent since June and, that 8u per cent of the 1!26-1930 average, .is 3 poiutB under September, 1936, ag ricultural Income In Oregon dur ing ihe year 19:i7 Is expected to exceed that of 1936 materially. Such are the conclusions to be drawn from data given m a review of the agricultural situation just released by the Oregon btate col lege agricultural extension service. The gain in agricultural income Is attributed to an expected year ly average farm price level run ning around 12 per cent over the l!;tt year average, and to a pros pective increa.se of about il -per' cent In the gross volume of agri cultural production. Although the report states that the estimates are fwite prelimhi-' ary in nature, the Increase in -to tal agricultural income in Oregon In 1!KI7 over 19.Ki may approxi mate 15 per cent and may amount lo as much as X20,ium,imo. Includ ing the value added by agricultur al manufacturing opera! tons nud farm sales of numerous .specialty farm products, as well as income from the principal crop and ani mal products, total agricultural income is expected lo reach SI so,. tesssg .

FED LAMB SUPPLY INCREASE LOOMS WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. (AP) The agriculture department fore casts an Increase in market bujk plitt of fed lambs and a decrease in prices for the season, December through April. ,The report predicted: Corn belt states will increase the number or lambs fed this fall and winter to more than offset a de crease in western states. The price of slaughter lambs in December probably will be higher than a year earlier, but the sea sonal advance from January to April will be less . than for the same months this year A probable weaker demand for meats and wools will lower the av erage price for the coming season, compared with last season.
