Saturday Shopping Hints for Home Shoppers The dollar that is spent with the home merchant is used by the shop keeper to pay rent and taxes, and it stays at home and keeps busy. The customer 'that patronizes the home store not only helps the community, but can at any time go back to the store and exchange whatever was bought, or get more of the same thing. The shopper that patronizes home merchants shows confidence in the local store that makes the busi nessman want to do everything pos sible to improve his stock, so every body is benefitted. Among the things that are offered this week in Oregon City stores are the following: Thirty sample suits, each of them different, and every one the acme of spring styles, are offered by Bannon & Co., at $18 each. These suits can not be duplicated in Portland for half as much again. And on Saturday the Bannon Btore will make its first show ing of April styles in the famous Welworth and Wirthmor waists, for which many shoppers have been wait ing. Huntley Brothers this week are making a specialty of popular fiction and music at reduced prices, and also are having a sale of perfumes and other toilet necessities that no wo man should miss. At Frank BuBch's store there is a display of newest patterns in the fam ous "Black Cat" wallpapers, and also a special offering of alluring rockers at $4.30. Burmeister and Andresen are hold ing a "Kodak week," and have every kind of good camera for the lover of out-doors and photography. Tha high water in the river, and the spring time beauty of the fields and woods at this time will make everybody want a camera. Adams Department store is contin uing its showing of the famous Pal mer garments for women, each gar ment a gem in style and fit, and right up to the minute in style. The reasonable price asked for this line of goods makes it especially attract ive to discerning shoppers. FORI) WONT FLOAT L, Mullan Discovers This Fact on Inundated County Highway A Ford automobile is not a boat, and it wont float in fresh water. Simon L. Mullan, road supervisor of the Harmony district, and a can didate for the republican nomination for county commissioner, discovered this Wednesday when on his way to the county seat. He tried to utilize his Ford as a ferryboat between Park- place and Greenpoint, and failed to make the further shore of the lake which at present blocks the road. Mr. Mullan sent his Ford into the miniature inland "sea at top speed. The machine swished through the water for about a hundred yards, and then stalled. Water was up above the hubs, and oil from the engine pan stilled the waves that slapped against the side of the vehicle. Mr. Mullan 40 ivinDiii ne f ur cus" Cl AVUnlNr tomers asked us yn '0 the other day so much differ- e n c e between the extracts she bought from us and those she got elsewhere. We explained that it was because a druggist is qualified to test ex tracts. He knows when they are up to standard. It is a part of his training to know. And as we sell only the best, we will not sell an extract that is not absolutely pure and full strength. That is why the extracts you buy here go further and give such de licious flavors. That headache need not be en dured. We have a harmless rem edy that will give prompt relief and have no bad after effects. We have manufactured : and sold it for 20 years, and every box . carries our personal guarantee. 25c Box.

Huntley Brothers Tha QexaML Slate climbed out on the Ford's forward deck, and with one hand in the hawse- pipes and one foot on the bowsprit, reached down and cranked her up. The magneto, however, was well saturated, and refused to Bpark. So Mr. Mullan doffed his shoes and socks, plunged into the flood, and pushed his Ford back to dry land.
