Cut the Cost of Living!
A plate of hot biscuits or muffins, a
fresh, home-baked cake, a loaf of brown
or nut-bread, rescues any meal from the
commonplace, and more expensive things
afe never missed.
With K C, the double acting baking
powder, good results are doubly certain.
There's economy too, in the cost of K C.
PREMIUM ON DANCES
Campaign Idea Evolved by Live
Wire Committee
Those who would have the honor
of dancing tomorrow evening with
Miss Rose Uptegrove, the young lady
who will probably be queen of the
Rose Festival in June, will have to
carry their small change handy to
pay the price. Dances with the can
didate are to be auctioned by the
campaign committee and the highest
bidder for each number will have their
names on Miss Uptegrove's program.
At the beginning of the dance at
Busch's hall tomorrow evening the
committee will divide the candidate's
program and will auction half of the
dances. Later in the evening the re
maining numbers will be sold in the
same manner. All money from this
unique-source will be turned into the
fund with which the campaign com
mittee is buying votes for the Clack
amas county candidate.
Company G, 0. N. G., lessee of the
Busch hall, is doing its utmost to aid
the campaign and has donated the
use of its drill hall for the dance.
Another donation that means a great
deal toward the success of the event,
and toward the campaign that is be
ing conducted on behalf of Miss Upte
grove, is that of the Moose orchestra,
which will provide music for the danc
ers free of cost to the committee.
These arrangements have been made
by the dance committee, consisting of
Kent Moody, Delias Armstrong, H. A.
Swafford and Lee Shannon.
The floor managers, wearing Fall
sarian uniforms, will be members of
the Live Wires, and will be appointed
today. There will be no free admis
sions to the dance, according to an
ultimatum of the managers, who have
been so stern in their decision that
they have bought tickets for them
selves and guests. The only detail
left to insure the absolute success of
the dance is that of filling the hall to
overflowing. The purpose for which
the dance is given is presumed to be
sufficient to guarantee such an attend
ance as has not been seen on a ball
room floor in years.

$1.00 per year if paid in advance ?

Plans to be . Submitted to County
Court by County Engineer
Plans for the practical reeonstrue
tion of the county suspension bridge
that crosses the Willamette river at
this city will be prepared and pre
sented to the county court in the near
future by County Engineer S. A. Cobb
according to that gentleman's state
ment this week. The structure has
been in constant use during the past
26 years and certain elements are
badly in need of repair. The total
cost of the l-econstruction, as esti
mated by Mr. Cobb, will not exceed
$12,000, whereas, a new structure,
which- would be necessary in case the
proposed repairs are not made, would
cost approximately $ 175,000.
With the execution of the repairs
that are to be suggested to the court
by the county engineer that official
believes that the bridge could be put
in such condition that it would serve
the demands upon it for many years
more and the great saving to the
county is a matter which he believes
will induce the court to authorize the
necessary work. The engineer has
had in mind for some time the recon
struction which will be outlined in his
plans, but the recent break- in the
stress guy wire on the north side of
the bridge has made it necessary 'to
hasten plans for the work. The stress
guy wire was repaired early this week.
Among the important suggestions
to be incorporated in the engineer's
proposal to the court will be the sub
stitution of steel towers at each end
of the bridge for the frame struc
tures in place at present. New sup
porting strands on each side of the
bridge are also necessary improve
ments, according to Mr. Cobb's state
ment. One advantage of such im
provements would be the possibility
of erecting, on each side of the bridge,
sidewalks to accommodate the pedes
trian travel. This would not only be
a great convenience for that class of
traffic, but would allow more space
for the use of vehicles crossing the
bridge. Mr. Cobb sees some little
difficulty in carrying out this phase
of his plans because of the fact that
it would be troublesome to avoid inter
ference with traffic on Seventh street
and at the same time bring the bridge
walk to a level with Main street. '
His Age Is Against Him
"I am 52 years old and I have been
troubled with kidneys and bladder for
a good many years," writes Arthur
Jones, Allen, Kas. "My age is
against me to ever get cured, but
Foley Kidney Pills do me more good
than anything I ever tried." Many
people suffer from kidney trouble who
need not suffer when they can get
Foley Kidney Pills. Mr. Jones, in a
later letter, says -if it was not for
them he would never be able to work
in the hay field. Rheumatism, aching
back, . shooting pains, stiff . joints, all
have been relieved. Jones Drug Co.
Convention at Parkplace -The
annual convention of the
Clackamas county Christian Endeavor
societies will be held at rarkplace on
May 6 and 7 and delegates from prac
tically all the societies in the county
will be in" attendance.' ,It is estimated
that at least 150 delegates will be
appointed before the time set for the
convention and a program that is ar
ranged to interest all is being pre
pared. The thirteen ' societies in
Clackamas county will be represented
by delegations. v .
Endeavor society workers through
out the county have been preparing
for the convention for several weeks,
and as a result of their efforts several
very important features have been
arranged for. On Saturday after
noon, the first day of ,lhe convention,
Clarence H. Sprague, E. E. Feike and
G. Evert Baker, all of Portland, will
address the meeting. " An interesting
feature of the plans is a "Millionaire
Banquet," to be held on Saturday
evening, May 6. At this meeting
county officers will be elected to
supervise the. work of the societies
during the coming year. The dele
gates will participate in a long walk
on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday
morning a sunrise service will be held.

Several Organizations Cooperate to
Work Out Plans
Believing that the greatest prob
lem for the farmer today is the proper
education of his children and the mak
ing of his country life attractive by
proper educational facilies, the Gen.
eral Federation of Women's clubs, the
American Civic association, the Rock
efeller foundation and last, but not
least, the United States bureau of
education, have joined hands in a plan
to build a teacher s home for every
rural school in the United States.
If every rural school were to have
a teacher's cottage as outlined by this
great group of social service workers
there would be spent over $200,000,000
in this great work, for there are 200,-
000 rural school districts in America,
and a cottage for each would cost
about $1000.
But there is no plan to make this
colossal expenditure at once. It will
be a campaign of many years' dura
tion, a campaign in which'the officials
of the rural school districts, 200,000
of them, will have to be educated, one
at a time, to the' need of their com
munity..
A recent survey of the nation shows
there are more than 200,000 rural
school districts in the United States,
and over 16,000,000 children of school
age who either live in" the country or
in towns of not less than 2500 popula
tion. In a large number of these dis
tricts it is absolutely impossible to
get and keep teachers with initiative,
leadership, experience, high ideals,
character, broad sympathy and edu
cation. Practically one-third of the
rural teachers in the United States
have had no professional preparation
for their work. An examination of
the conditions quickly shows the rea
sons for the acknowledged failure of
rural education to keep pace with the
progress in city schools.

NEW ROADS READY
Roadmaster Announces Completion of
Links in Highway Chain
Under the direction of County
Roadmaster T. A. Roots the improve.
ment of the South End road, in the
southern part cf the county, was com
pleted on Monday. The South End
road traverses a very beautiful por
tion of the county and in its improved
condition will make not only an ad
mirable trip for motorists, but will be
of decidedly more value to the farmers
in that section. The road was rock
ed and thoroughly rolled.
Improvement on the Calvin hill
road is practically completed, mak
ing an excellent highway as far as
the Marion county line and adding ma
terially to the chain of modern road
ways that is being created in Clacka
mas county. Work on the Wilhoit
Springs road is nearing completion
and Roadmaster Roots is directing the
energies of a good crew in the work
there.
Candidate for Nomination is an
Expert on Values
In asking for the support of re
publican voters at the primary elec
tion, at which he hopes to gain the
nomination of his party to the office
of county assessor, R. E. Woodward
presents, as an essential qualification,
the fact that he is thoroughly familiar
with real estate values in Clackamas
and other counties by reason of his
many years experience in the real es
tate business. Through this exper
ience Mr. Woodward believes he is
competent to serve the voters fairly
and impartially and to render true
valuations of all property.
Impartiality is one of .the strong
claims made by Mr. Woodward. . He
promises absolute fairness in his
work and says that between the most
wealthy and most humble taxpayer
there will be no favoritism, if he is
elected to office . Strict business
methods will be employed in the con
duct of the business of the assessor's
office, and the voters are promised a
correct and prompt accounting of all
office expenses.
Personal profit is not a reason for
the candidacy of Mr. Woodward. He
has lived in this county the greater
part of his life, and he is well and
favorably known by a great many
people here. He seeks the honor of
the support of these friends, and in
return for their confidence believes
that the tax income can be increased
under his direction without adding to
the burden of taxation.

Mrs. Thomas Wants Divorce
The birth control propaganda has
no place in the heart of Mrs. Emma
M. Thomas, who on Wednesday filed
suit in the circuit court here asking
for divorce from her husband, Harry
H. Thomas. The couple was married
at Marmot on October 8, 1905. There
are two minor children to the union
and of these the mother would have
custody. Birth control ideas cherish
ed by her husband are made the basis
of her prayer for a decree.
