Just as the tinkling of the Bleigh bells delighted the hearts of the chil dren and grown-ups of yesterday, so are we of today enraptured with the thought of winter, when tiny coasters may once more be brought into use, and the snow king, zealously guards his domain mountains and streams in glittering snow-clad loveliness. For these days of sleighing and skating, not forgetting the gorgeous wintry mornings when a brisk walk over frozen paths brings a glow to our cheeks and brightness to our eyes, clothes must play as important a part as for any other occasions. Attractive Fur Sets Fashion decreed at the beginning of the season that fur was to be popu lar, and old Father Winter has approv ed the notion by sending us a brisk, crisp winter that makes the touch of fur, no matter how small or how large, quite consistent. In muffs and neckpieces there is wide choice both as to models and ma terials. It is no longer considered "home-made" to carry a muff of vel vet, heavy eilk, or velours, with just a band or two of fur, by way of trim ming, or for that matter no fur at all, These sets are often mude to match coat or suit; one especially pretty set worn recently with a tailored suit of dark-brown duvetyn, was of silk plush in the same tone as the suit, trimmed with strips of beaver to match the trimming on the suit. The muff was made in the popular melon shape, the plush being shirred to a very small opening at the hand, and banded with a two-inch strip of beaver. A broad Puritan collar of the plush completed the sot, and a small hat, with a band of the plush around the edge and a beaver ball on the tip top of the crown, was a chic accom paniment. This set was to be worn with the suit and also with a heavy, belted and pocketed top-coat of dark green velours, intended for sleighing, motoring and like purposes, when warmth was necessary as well as be comingness. Another pretty set of close-haired fur, made from an old seal coat, had a barrel muff and the regulation throw scarf. This set was completed by a long tasseled cap made of the same material as th loose, box-coat, which was of dark green duvetyn, also band- THE FASHIONS M Stretch a PEERLESS FENCE Around Your Farm And Quit Worrying Once your fields are all enclosed Gates, your fence troubles are over for a long time to come, f ou are sure to find your animals where you want them and will s free from injuries caused by trying to get through a poor fence. ood Fences and handy Gates increase the value of your farm, make the work easier and your assistants more contented.

Gold cord, silver and gold lace, is used for the more dressy muffs and neckpieces, and oftentimes there is a metal or velvet rose as an attractive bit of color. The Popular Tam-o'-Shanter With the awakening of the out-of-door spirit there has come a demand for comfortable headgear; not the freakish hats and caps which were in troduced when the motoring fad came in, so hideous and unbecoming, but chic, little caps and tarns made up in sweater cloth, lamb's wool, the ma terial of the coat or suit, or knitted to match sweater or scarf. These caps are extremely youthful and chic, easily made, and the height of com fort. r I it (f) SU'tV.t, Sots of cap, scarf, and sports' coat, or sweater, are used for skating, cross-county walking, and motoring. One especially pretty cap with scarf or mufller attached, is being made up in chiffon for summer motoring use; the idea is wonderfully practical, as the full, gathered scarf-end may be brought over the head and face, veil fashion, protecting the complexion and eyes very efficiently. Leather is being used for these sets quite extensively too; a fur-trimmed set of dull red Russian leather, trim med with sable and combined with a short, tab-ended scarf, also trimmed with sable, is unusually smart and be coming. These leather sots may be made at home of suede, or a soft kid They are practical for many purposes as they are not injured by dust, rain or snow. There are some attractive velveteen and velvet sets, also, trimmed with a vividly contrasting color. The Utility Walking-Stick One of the novelties following the popularity of walking, skating, and general out-of-door winter sports is tho walking-stick with a soft silken or velvet bag attached for handkerchiefs, powder puff and other articles neces sary to Milady's beauty and comfort. Although somewhat extreme these sticks are nevertheless quite prac tical, especially for mountain climbs and hilly roads. Six-Year Old Had Croup "I have a little girl six years old who has a great deal of trouble with croup," writes W. E. Curry of Evans ville, Ind. "I have used Foley's Hon ey and Tar, obtaining instant relief for her. My wife and I also use it nd will say it is the best cure for bad cold, cough, throat trouble and roup that I ever saw."

Peerless Gates Very few farmers can afford board gates in this age of high price of timber. Peerless steel gates are not only cheaper but they look better and are easier to handle. Heavy tubing frames, filled with special galvanized wire, insures long life. Every part of every Peerless gate is heavily galvanized to prevent rust.

In the development of general pub lic health work, according to the Sec retary, there is great need of addition al medical officers. The number of requests for advice and assistance in health problems received from states and municipalities during the past year has far exceeded that in any similar period in the history of the Service, but the limited number of officers available for the work has pre vented in many instances compliance with these requests. The field investigations, the Secre tary states, have served as a stimu lus to state and local health agencies, and every effort should therefore be made to encourage and turn to prac tical account the interest in health matters awakened in the general public. For this reason an increase in the appropriation for field work is requested. An additional building for the Hy gienic Laboratory is urgently needed. The work of this institution has been greatly extended, particularly as it relates to the examination of viruses, serums and analogous products, a vast market for which has been recently created abroad. The safeguarding of these therapeutic agents requires great accuracy and precision and overcrowding is a serious handicap. In order that the public health may be better expended in carrying out the provisions of the law relating to the examination of these products. The United States is the only gov ernment of importance which does not provide for the care and isolation of lepers. The establishment of a nat ional leprosarium where the numerous lepers, most of whom are native born Americans, may be properly segre gated and treated, thereby eliminat ing a menace to the health of others, is urged.

The map was prepared to show how the government had "hogged" almost all of Oregon, and how the poor set tler couldn t find a spot anywhere in the state big enough to stake down as a claim. At the time quite a number of people didn't think much of this map it was too good. Now comes the annual report of the secretary of the interior, a West ern gentleman who is working for his Uncle Sam. And the report has a map of Oregon in it, among other things. And the map shows just how much land the government has "hog ged" in this state, and how much is left for the settler and how much for ordinary . Oregon folk who read the Oregonian when they have to. The white part of the map is "land subject to settlement and entry." And the area of this "white" land is 25.2 percent of the total area of the state. This means that more than a quarter of the land in Oregon hasn't yet even been taken up by anybody. In acre age this white land amounts to 61,188, 480 acres. That is quite a bit of va cant land considerably more than the Oregonian's map gave even a hint of. The map also shows that 50.1 per cent of the total area of Oregon, or 30,648,734 acres, is private land or is state-owned. That is also quite a piece of the state that the government hasn't "hogged" although included in this acreage is a bunch of land that certain friends of the Oregonians are holding for "investment." When the government holds land that way, it is "hogged," but when a land baron holds it, it is "an investment." And as to the government land in this state, it is less than a quarter of the total. Twenty-one and six tenths percent of the total is held in forest reserves, much of which is open to grazing and mining; and 3.1 per cent is held in Indian and other res- ervatios. That does't look as if the govern ment was "hogging" Oregon, does it? JOHN STARK'S COMMENTS With the advent of the New Year the political cauldron is beginning to simmer. This will be a great year for reforms, some of which are well on the way. Many innovations are need ed to cultivate and bring to bloom this variagated posey. There is a crying need for commis sions "to investigate and report." The most imperative demand is for a com mission to "regulate" trading stamps. This commission should collect data from every conceivable angle. It should have power to send for per sons and papers and examine them under oath. They should investigate every form of trading stamps and their intrinsic value, size, shape and color in use anywhere on earth. It should file printed reports with the Secretary of State and county clerks; also supply all publishing houses with copies substantially bound. This commission should prescribe uniform rules governing the use of trading stamps. Provide blanks for reporting "under oath," how many stamps had been given, name and ad dress of receiver, together with a Ber- tillon description of the person. This data should be filed with the Recorder of deeds or some other reliable public official. Now that the twenty-four quart stuff is working smoothly some astute legislator should "pull up" a complete form of law covering all the details of this "reform." There are a number of hungry, barefooted chil 0 bother, what's the use of the great and clumsy state gov ernment troubling itself with little, trifling affairs. Let's have "patriot ism" and "reform." JOHN F. STARK. HERE'S YOUR CHANCE Pretty Maiden in Frisco is Lonely, and Sends Her Address Miss Elizabeth Rosenburg, 435 Mis sion street, San Francisco, Cal., put her name on an envelope some time ago, and the envelope eventually got packed in a box with a couple of hun dred other envelopes,- and was sent through the wholesale paper houses to the Courier. This week the envelope was found. The Courier doesn't know Miss Rosenburg, but it surmises she is beautiful and lonely, and that she'd like to have somebody write to her and tell her about the Oregon country. There is going to be "letter writing week pretty soon, anyway, so that will give a good excuse to anybody who wants to strike up a correspond ence with Miss Rosenburg. The Cour ier would take it upon itself to dash off a few lines to this California miss, with poppies in her hair, who puts her name in a box of envelopes, only well, everybody at the Courier office who might write is married. So we pass that chance along. If it appeals to you, write and see what happens. Maybe you'll be pinched for using the mails to defraud, or maybe you'll have something else happen that is for you to find out. The Courier $1.00 per year if paid in advance.

C. LATOURETTE, President M. D. LATOURETTE, Vice President F. J. MEYER, Cashier DANCING IS RAPPED Rev. J. K. Hawkins Tells Hearers that It is Bad for Morals Last Sunday the Rev. J. K. Haw kins, pastor of the Methodist church in the county seat, took a whang at the general pastime of dancing, and opined that it was very, very bad for the morals. Mr. Hawkins apparently had not heard of the efforts of people in all parts of the country-r-people in terested in civic and moral welfare to promote community dances, so that boys and girls could meet freely at recreation centers and have a good time without being placed in any sort of moral jeopardy.' Every now and then there is an at tack on dancing on dancing itself, and not on the way certain dances are conducted. And these attacks on the general pastime usually are just about as effective as the proverbial snowball in the nether regions. People dance, for the most part, because they like it, and because they find it an exercise that is at once beneficial and entertaining. While it is true that certain human beasts frequent dances because they fancy that the dance will afford them license; it is also true that these creatures seldom frequent the same dancing throngs twice. The majority of people will not agree with the Rev. Hawkins that dancing is bad for the morals, and they will continue to dance. People danced long before the church of which Dr. Hawkins is a member was even dreamed of, and the chances are that they will be dancing long after Dr. Hawkins departs. Nice people dance, lots of nice people; and it is only at rare intervals that a person with a depraved mind invades a dance and attempts the things that are the basis of the attack made upon the gentle pastime by Dr. Hawkins last Sunday. And quite a number of people who heard Dr. Hawkins ex press his opinions wonder where he got his knowledge which dances he visited, and when he saw such dread ful things.

SOME EGG, THIS Record for Fancy "Hen Fruit" Ap pears to go to Colton Ranch There has been for some time a happy rivalry between the chicken- raisers of this locality in regard to the size of the eggs produced. Every now and then some proud poultryman rushes in to the Courier office with the largest egg," and the facts are duly recorded. Now comes another "largest egg." This one was laid by a pullet be longing to Gus Gottberg, of Colton, and was brought to the Courier office OREGON CITY" by J. O. Staats. The egg is masta donic in size, and appears to have all records in this line beaten for the county. The egg laid by the Colton pullet is six and a half inches in cir cumference the shortest way, and eight and a quarter inches in circum ference the other way. Some idea of the size of this egg may be drawn from the information that it more than comfortably filled a five-cent match-box, in which it was fice of the Courier. Married 60 Years Mr. and Mrs. R.
