A DIFFERENT ONE
THE FASHIONS
No doubt, most of us are feeling
that our summer wardrobes are begin
ning to look a little the worse for
wear. It is invariably the case when
August comes! The dainty voiles and
organdies that were so crisp and fresh
at the beginning of June and July
when we started the season with them,
are looking limp and faded since thoy
have been pressed into service all
through the warm weather. While it
may seem rather late in the season to
start getting new summer things, just
now the stores are full of wonderful
bargains in dainty summer frocks,
and this is the opportunity for those
who have to be economical. Lovely
dresses and blouses in voiles, linens,
crepes and other sheer fabrics can be
picked up for a song, as the saying
goes, and it is well worth getting
them for the remainder of the season.
But you will make no mistake in
having one of the simple silk dresses
that are so much in vogue. They are
wonderful for filling in the gup be
tween the seasons and not only that,
they are going to be very good for
fall. They will be quite comfortable
with a top coat, if the weather de
mands it, or with a fur cape or scarf.
The warm weather has not at all
dampened the enthusiasm for fur
capes and scarfs. It is such a com
mon sight to see them worn on days
when the mercury rises to great
heights that one almost feels that one
has been laboring under a delusion all
along to believe that furs could be
anything but cool!
Taffeta the Leading Silk
By far the most popular silks for
dresses just now are the taffetas.
They are especially smart in self tones
and in the many striped, checked and
blocked effects sen. Navy blue and
rich, dark,, tones predominate. In
some very striking designs both
checks and stripes are combined.
Following closely in the lead of taf
feta are messaline, faille, figured and
dotted foulard, crepe de Chine, silk

Editor is Candidate for Matrimony
Says Own Announcement
Dear Editor: I gather from his lit
tle 2x4 sheet that Ham Kautzman,
who edits satirically, yet capably, the
Columbia Herald at Houlton which
should be St. Helens is one of these
independent candidates. nam K. an
nounces himself as the Ladies' choice
foro the Legislature and Ladies' choice
for Matrimony.
Ham likewise appears to be some
what of a fighter. His little sheet is
crowded to the edge with fight and
he holds his everlasting cigar between
determined teeth.
That isn't the point. Ham, of
course, is too big a man for a dinky
town, and his platform will prove, it.
He has some high-falutin' ideas as to
legislation and the cure, therefor that
mark him a candidate among candi
dates, nnd one who should draw an
overwhelming vote from the fair sex.
Pardon me for mentioning Ham to
you, dear editor, for he is an egotistic
individual and can't be elected any
how. Here's his platform, which was
what I wanted to have printed in the
first place:
"Abolishment of the Oregon Sen
ate, with penalty of felony for cor
poration lobbyists attempting to in
fluence the ligislature by intrigue.
'One session of the legislature de
voted to the repeal of superfluous
freak laws and the enactment and en
forcement of the Golden Rule.
'An act to compel butchers to sell
boneless meat, and to keep their hands
off the scales while weighing.
'A law confiscating motor vehicles
when driver exceeds the speed limit,
selling the same and placing the pro
ceeds in the road fund of the county
in which the crime is committed.
'A law making it a misdemeanor
for women to allow bachelor editors
to run single during leap year and
some other good laws I haven't
thought of yet."

first cousin to that other imbecile,
Constant Reader.
SANDY SQUABBLE AIRED
THOUGHTS FER THE DISCOUR
AGED FARMER
voile, chiffon crepe and Georgette
crepe.
The two illustrations shown here
are typical of the simplicity of- the
present styles. The dress of check
ed taffeta hns a gored skirt with panel
front and back, and of course, it would
not be complete without the large
patch pockets on either side of the
front,, for pockets are as popular as
ever in spite of their having been in
fashion so long. In the waist, the
panel gradually tnpers up toward the
neck, where it is met by a collar of
Georgette crepe, which ripples at the
back, though the front is quite fiat.
Chiffon, net or organdie is often sub
stituted for Georgette crepe in fash
ioning collars for this type of dress.
The only trimming in this model is
seen in the buttons on either side of
the panel. The color harmonizes with
the dress.
That the vogue for combining plain
and figured materials has not by any
means diminished, is shown in the
dress of plain and figured foulard re
cently seen on the avenue. It is trim
med with ribbon arranged in bands on
the underskirt ad cuffs, and in plait
ing, which finishes the neck and hem.
Note the gathered pockets and the
straight tunic plaited at the top.
These are two prominent style fea
tures of the season. This model is
one which at first sight may seem in
tricate, but on closer inspection one
discovers that the novel touches which
make it so very chic are, in reality,
easily carried out.
By James Whitcomb Riley
The summer winds is sniflin 'round the
bloomin' locus' trees;
And the clover in the pastur' is a big
day fer the bees,
And they been a-swiggin' honey,
aboveboard and on the sly,
Tel they stutter in theyr buzzin' and
stagger as they fly.
The flicker on the fence- rail 'pears to
jest spit on his wings
And roll up his feathers by the sassy
way he sings:
And the hossfly is awhettin' up his
forelegs fer biz,
And the off mare is aswitwhin' all her
tale they is.
You can hear the blackbirds jawin' as
they foller up the plow
Oh, theyr bound to git theyr brekfast
and theyr not acann how;
So they quarrel in the furries, and
they quarrel on the wing
But theyr peaceabler in potpies than
any other thing;
And it's when I git my shotgun draw
ed up in stiddy rest,
She's as full of tribbelation as a yel-
ler-jacket s nest;
And a few shots before dinner, when
the sun's ashinin' right,
Seems to kindo' sorto' sharpen up a
feller s appetite!
They's been a heap o' rain, but the
sun s out to-day,
And the clouds of the wet spell is all
cleared away,
And the woods is all the greener, and
the grass is greener still;
It may rain again to-morry, but I
don't think it will.
Some says the crops is ruined, and the
corn s drownded out,
And propha-sy the wheat will be a
failure, without doubt;
But the kind Providence that has nev
er failed us yet
Will be on hands onc't more at the
Meventh hour, I bet!

Injunction Suit Stops Distribution of
73,000 Brick
As an outgrowth of a suit in Judge
Pomeroy's court at Sandy, an injunc
tion was granted by Judge Campbell
Monday, preventing the further sale,
transfer or distribution of some 73,
000 brick loaded on a siding at Hoov
er Station, preparatory to shipment.
The brick are being sold on execu
tion growing out of a judgment ob
tained in Justice Pomeroy's court by
B. F. Hoover against the Unique
Brick & Tile company. Hoover sued
for his son's wages, the son being a
minor, and a judgment was obtained
from which execution followed. The
Tile company filed an injunction suit
Monday alleging that the execution
was illegally levied and charging that
F. M. Morgan who made the attach
ment as constable, was in fact not a
constable at all, charging that he had
failed to take oath of office and file
his bond as by law required. Morgan,
with Milo C. King, the attorney and
Justice Pomeroy are made joint de
fendants with Hoover. A further
ground for the injunction was set up
to the effect that Hoover senior had
never been appointed guardian ad
litem for his son and hence had no
power to sue.
Judge Campbell granted the injunc
tion, temporarily stopping the sale of
the brick, pending appeal to his court
from, the justice court and ordering
the justice court to prepare the trans
cript of appeal, which the complaint
alleged, had been formerly denied.

County Paving Superintendent Up
. from Border on Business Trip
Tanned to a nice brown, Harry
Worswick, county superintendent of
paving, arrived from the Mexican
border Monday on a 30-day lay-off
during which he will look after pav
ing matters.
Worswick, a private in the local
company, was called out when the
Oregon City boys left for the front.
He was forced to leave his position as
county superintendent of paving oper
ations, just as he was completing the
stretch of hard surface between Ore
gon City and Parkplace. The work
has gone on in his absence, the county
completing the Sellwood-Milwaukie
strip, and then taking up the East
82nd strip road from a point about 2
miles beyond Clackamas and work
ing toward the Multnomah county
line. The work has been done under
the supervision of Mr. Worswick's
father-in-law and the county road
master, Tom Roots.
Mr. Worswick reports things in
comfortable shape along the border
Sanitary conditions at the local boys'
camp are good, and to date there has
been no sickness to speak of. Mr,
Worswick is captain of the company's
baseball team, which has made an en
viable record in the regiment. Food
is good, the boys are all happy, if not
prosperous, according to Mr. Wors
wick, and there is no way of estimat
ing the length of time they will be on
duty on the border line. Mr. Wors
wick must report again September
4th. He has a wife and family in
Oregon City.
A Woman's Helpful Advice
Mrs. G. H. Eveland, Duncan Mills,

bago, unable to turn myself in bed. A
neighbor brought me Foley Kidney
Pills. Said she had been similarly
afflicted and they cured her. I tried
them and was completely cured by
three bottles." Mrs. Eveland hear
tily recommends Foley Kidney Pills
for kidney trouble. When the kid
neys are not functioning properly, im
purities left in the blood cause rheu
matism, lame back, aches and pains.

ROB CLACKAMAS FARMERS
Youthful Trio of Portland Make Sen
sational Raid and Escape
August Perry, Hugh Conbry and
Ray Pietzold live in Portland, they
say. The three were Clackamas
county visitors for a few hours last
Saturday afternoon, and in that short
time made a record for themselves
which though not exactly enviable,
was certainly spectacular.
The three rented a team and wagon.
They drove from Portland to the
Clackamas community and then be
gan a systematic raid upon the farm
ers of the community, taking what
ever they could lay hands on and load
ing up the wagon with various and
sundry articles. The rig was pretty
well filled up with two sets of har
ness, a hammer, an axe, a big bale of
chicken wire, three, suits of clothes,
a frying pan, a shovel and other ar
ticles too numerous to mention, and
the boys were embarking on the re
turn trip when Sheriff Wilson butted
in and spoiled their plans. Pietzold
was captured and has confessed to
District Attorney Hedges, it is under
stood. The other two youths made
their escape when they realized they
were being pursued, and warrants are
now out for their arrest. The three
are under 21 years of age. Pietzold
was given a preliminary hearing and
was bound over under $200 bail which
to date he has not raised.

NEW DISTRICT TO BUILD
School House for Echodell Started
Following Suit Settlement
Following the amicable settlement
between the land owners and the
school board of" directors of district
No. 126 relative to the purchase price
of a 2-acre school site out along the
Aberncthy, work on a handsome new
school building was begun early this
week. The structure will be modern
throughout and will cost $1100.00.
The new district is the northern ex
tremity of the old Maple Lane district
and is known as Echodell. For sev
eral weeks negotiations have been
pending between the officers of the dis
trict and the owners, Mr. and Mrs.
Rev. E. C. Oakley, formerly of Oregon
City, but now of Mill Valley, Califorr
nia. Unable to reach an agreement,
District Attorney Hedges had prepar
ed condemnation proceedings for the
land desired and the suit would have
been filed Saturday afternoon. A
compromise price was arranged be
tween the parties, through S. D. Bar
ney, a member of the board, Mr. Hedg
es and Attorney C. H. Dye, the latter
representing the Oakleys, and the par
ties wisely avoided litigation and re
sultant expenses. It is thought the
new building will be in tip-top shape
for the opening of the new school year
in the district.
GLYCERINE AND BARK
PREVENT APPENDICITIS
The simple mixture of buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., known as Adler-i-ka,
astonishes Oregon City people.
Because Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH
lower and upper bowel, ONE SPOON
FUL relieves almost ANY CASE of
constipation, sour stomach or gas. It
removes such surprising foul matter
that a few doses often relieve or pre
vent appendicitis. A short treatment
helps chronic stomach trouble. The
INSTANT, easy action of Adler-i-ka
is astonishing. The Jones Drug Co.
NEEDY RANCHER HELD
Statutory Charge Preferred by 13
Year Old Niece
A serious statutory charge has been
placed against M. H. Herbaugh, a
married man of the Needy district,
by Lulu Hondrick, his 13-year old
niece. The man was arrested by
Sheriff Wilson and Constable D. E.
Frost and is being held under $3000 in
the county jail. The arrest was made
Saturday, while Herbaugh was work
ing on a hay-bailer in the Needy coun
try. . . .
The charge was filed by District
Attorney Gilbert Hedges, following a
conference with the complaining wit
ness last Friday. Herbaugh was ar
raierniH before Judge Sievers and
through his attorney, Geo. C. Brow
nell, waived his preliminary, the court
fixing his bail at $3000. Herbaugh has
made several attempts to raise the a
mount, but has been unable to do so.
He is a married man and has a family
of five children.
The district attorney's office has
been working on the case for some
time and, it is understood, has strong
evidence against Herbaugh.

NO "FOR RENT' SIGNS HERE
Oregon City Water Men Find But Two
Vacant Houses in City
Oregon City at present enjoys the
enviable distinction of having no va
cant houses.
A survey just completed by the city
water commission among 1200 water
consumers of the city resulted in find
ing but two vacant houses among the
total number of local consumers. Pe
culiarly one of these places had been
vacated to make way for the exten
sive building operations of the Haw
ley mill. The other home was va
cated last week, and new tenants are
to move in right away, the survey
having reached the house during the
interim. There are not over fifty
homes within the corporate boundary
lines of Oregon City which do not use
the famous South Fork water, declares
A. C. Howland, city water collector,
and in the work of checking up the
users, there was not a single "For
Rent" sign noticed among the homes
which do not use the water.
This is a most remarkable record
for the mill town and certainly is in
dicative of the general prosperity we
are undergoing at the present time.
It is said that there are hundreds upon
hundreds of "For Rent" signs decorat
ing homes in all parts of Portland at
the present time. .
