Ttalt thia store often this season. You want the
right materials, the right colorings, the correct

find them hard to find in many places, but you
will find we have what you want at this store with
a less price than in many largo city stores. Why!
Because of our personal Interest In our own store,
our own community, our buyers have never work

At the present low price at which
wool la selling In this .late, owlug to
the democratic free trade bill, the
Oregon growers are receiving from
7 to 10 cents a pound leaa than they
would under a protective tariff law

more than $2 00, and the average
wool In an all-wool ault doea not
bring the wool grower $1 75 If I
remember correctly, your wool laat
year sold at i cents per pound,
and If you use 10 pounds of thia
wool In making a suit, the wool In
the suit would only have amounted
to $1.(5. Therefore, the talk of
cheaper clothing because of free wool
In nonsense, and moat people here
recognise that It ia nonaenae. Any
way, the people do not wear raw
wool. Clothing la made out of fin
in d cloth, and these democrats have
not put cloth on the free list. In
the new democratic bill the duty on
cloth made out of wool or mohair
rangea from 36 to 50 per cent; If
made out ot cotton, the duly is aa

Therefore, the sheepmen are loalng

All thia new bill doea is to take
