30B X YES IS A VOTE FOR YOUR CHILDREN
It is only natural that when the people become
really interested in the congressional fight that
they should ask Mr. Hawley certain questions as
is being done in many places. 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-

these questions as well as a number of others.

Mark Weatherford is out in the open. He
does not evade, parley or ignore. His position on
every question is known. Between the two the

The state fair, as usual, was "the most success
ful ever held" and also as usual, a lanrer aDoro-
priation will be asked from the legislature. The
taxpayers would prefer a fair that wasn't so sue
cessful. Jefferson Review.
1 he success ' ot this year's fair was due to the
excellent weather which permitted everyone to go
without inconvenience. As far as the fair was
concerned, it was the poorest one Oregon has had
for some time.

COOK BY WIRE, IT'S A SNAP! - !
Cook by wire! Nix on the fire! Fire went out of date, my dear,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!
We're not cooking any longer with wood, ashes, dirty kitchens,
coal, g.- solir.e, Roman candles, matches, wocd, smoke nor ranges which
make y u ta hot as Helene, the Russian queen of 411 C. 0. U.
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! It will put your favorite dream of
heaven in the piker clasa! Don't worry about the price! Tapa will
settle if you know how to work it! The scheme not the range! Aa
