recently returned from France, whe
display of war relics attracted o
ach attention wherever Bhowii, is
low a' "trophy train" and a "vU'oiy
IKcial" all by himself. Mr. Wtir has
keen engaged by the state t'utory
Loan Committee to visit ho com
munities that the recent ttophy train
couM not rent-It, ami he is no Hliug
schedule that is going to keep him
needing up. during tho routing
weeks.
One of the most interesting parts of
the exhibit is a tray of genuine Ital
ian cameos brought over by Secre
tary Wier and now being offered at
prices much below the normal cost
f these very fine works of art.
These rnnj;e in sl7e from that of
a penny to beauties almost as larite
a the palm of the hand, and they are
to exquisitely chiseled, and of such
eelorlnF that they are indeed things
of heatny. lVeaose of their associ
ation with the war they should hold
Special Interest. '
It was otily through a friend in bus
iness in Paris that Mr. v;,t was able
to secure these very superior speci
fiers of the hich trmde work of this
aharncter done by Italians, and a
lose Inspection of them convinces
tbat eatli cameo is Indeed a beauty
worthy to gnc e the peck of the lovli
t wife, sweetheart, graduate, r
friend in the State of Oregon "
As g:fts. these cameos bought from
Paris at the t.me of tha signing of
the armist'ee. should prove espec
ially attractive. They rsnge In price
from a very modest figure to the
iciuity of $"P for the largest and;
finest but they are the real thing;
and nmisttally fine at the price. The,
proceeds f-om the sal of these fine'
ameos will go to tbe Victory Loan. !
