Reducing Prices Last week we announced a very substantial reduction in the prices of rugs, owing, primarily, to the fact that we are over stocked on that commodity and to our willingness to "take a chance" that we can replace the rugs which we are selling now at reduced prices, a little cheap er than the present market quo tations, although we have no assurance from the manufactur ers that such will be the case. We have just deceived notice of a reduction in the price of some grades of cotton mat tresses and have marked our stock to conform to the new lower price list. It is our policy to give to our customers the very best a lues and lowest prices that market conditions warrant. Our stock is so large that it is impossible to display in our win dows all of the "Specials" which we have to offer, but ryou are cordially invited to come in and look over our stock for the pur pose of comparing prices. Look for the RED TAGS; they are used to identify the "drops," "close outs" and "specially re duced" price articles. All of . our prices are marked in plain figures. Don't forgot that we have an Exchange De partment, and that you can turn in any article of household furniture as part payment on rugs or pieces of furniture which you may choose from our stock; the balance may be paid in weekly or monthly installments, if you wish.

Then when ho got a coupie of hundred feet from tho ground he straightened her out and flew away as nice as you please. The people on the ground scattered frantically. The pilot laughed and said to me: "Did you see 'em scatter? Ninety per cent of the people down there thought wo were go ing to crash to the earth."

Thut is exactly what you will help to do if you do nothing to prevent the passage of measure No. 314 and 315 on the No vemher ballot entitled, "Constitutional Amendment Fixing Legal Rate of Interest in Oregon." This measure proposes to limit the rate of interest in Ore gon to 5 per cent. You can, by law, fix the rate uf interest In Oregon, but you cannot, by law, force the loaning of money in this state, when a much higher rate can be secured elsowhure. The passage of this measure would force the withdrawal of the millions of foreign capital which is today loaned ou factories, business and real estate hi the state and send your local money owners outside of the state to better investments. Passage of this measure would mean foreclosure of thou sands of mortages; would result In financial paralysis, and would mean widespread unemployment. You, no doubt, understand the viciousness of this measure, hut have you talked to your neighbors and friends about it? We urge you to do everything you can to defeat this measure, Ore gon's reputation as a sound Mate for Investments requires that this measure be overwhelmingly defeated, VOTE 315 X NO (Paid Adr.)
