They want to know and Mr. Hawley refuses to answer. It is much desired to know why Mr. Hawley was the only Oregon man to vote against the Federal Reserve law, a measure passed to take the finan cial control of the country away from Wall Street so that big business" could not create a panic at its pleasure. It is much desired to know why Mr. Hawley should use for his campaign slogan, ''no interests to serve but the public interests" when he does serve another interest at a salary of 75 monthly, often leaving- his oeoole unrenre- HOW MANY WILL CHEEK ;scnteti in Washington tb do it.

Fire went out of date, my dear, when BtJly Sunday discovered water. What year do you think thia is X 19K)? Ho silly! Don't you know this is the age when a taxi is born every minute, ships at sea have argiime ts while three thousand milea 1 apart and musical shows only cany three or four wardrobe trunks! Fancy!

Wood is now being used for cafe tables, coal is sold exclusively to Central Stations, gas has all it can do to take care of political speechea and gasoline is so expensive that only kings and waiters can afford to cook with it. Smoke, fumes, sooty pots and the other old-fashioned things have been laid on the shelf with bicycles, suspenders and Teddy Roosevelt. Why, woman, this is 1916! Today electric' range and aeroplane factories work three shiftsl Yesterday 90,000 hamlets were "killed" in a movie war Atlantic City thia year! The electric range every ether fancy adjective you can think of! It is guaranteed to re move work, wony and widowhood and make Monday morning seem like Saturday afternoon with birdies singing in the tree tops. Electric cooking is delicious, faltering, eugenic, god-like, ferocious, and ten times better than mother used to make. In fact, some women are so crazy about it that the sale of canntd sardines dropped from $18 to 18 cents in one towa in one week. Name on request? Lykelle! Order your electric range now!
