OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1916 S A LOT FOR LITTLE FEEDERS IN DEMAND D uring the next few days I am going to call on 20 leading armers I want to tell you some of the reasons why other pro gressive farmers find it profitable, week after week, to read Will you see me? It will take very little time. I don't want to argue. I simply want to tell you about this great national farm weekly, make you my offer, and let you decide for yourself. But, before I show you The Country Gentleman, here's some thing to think about : It's a modern, up-and-doing paper for the whole family. Its articles are written by farmers, farm women and farm ex perts. They tell how to make more money out of farming how a farmer's wife can do her work more easily how the family can get more pleasure out of farm life. It keeps you looking ahead. I truly believe that you will want The Country Gentleman. It's your kind of a paper. I'll show it to you. R. M. LEWIS Tel. No. Sellwood 1722 , 5427 64th Ave., S. E., Portland, Oregon REPRESENTING The Ladies' Home Journal The Saturday Evening Post The Country Gentleman I THE FASHIONS We have lately been hearing ru mors from Paris that the period of the Directoire is likely to make itself felt again in our dress. Although these rumors have not been confirmed from all sides, here and there a cos tume appears highly suggestive of this period, so it will hardly be look ing too far ahead to give it some consideration. Period styles keep re curring everv little while, and for some time we have had no strain of the Directoire in our dress, so there will be little wonder if it should re turn very soon. And there will be lit tle regret, too, for there is a certain dignity and stateliness about the cos tume of this period that makes it a favorite among many women., In the accompanying sketch is a dress which shows the Directoire in fluence very markedly. This type of dress strikes the eye at once as being ver.v distinct from other styles. At first glance one might easily mistake it for a coat on account of the large collar rising high at the back of the nock, the equally large revers and the double-breasted effect of the short, fitted body. At this season of the year a dress in coat effect is especial- J4 advantage by the woman of average proportions. Tunics are quite fashionable this season and there is a large variety of different styles. A novelty seen very recently was in the form of a long tunic reaching to the hem of the skirt, but it was placed only across the back of the skirt, barely starting from the hips. The dress in question was made of soft navy blue silk and the tunic was of very fine serge in a matching shade. Collars, high in back and open in front, on the order of the one in the illustration, are very good style. Even McCiH. many charms. The long tunic parted in front and attached to the rather short-waisted body can be worn to Didttt Expect To Live In a letter to the Pinus laboratories, Mrs. G. 0. Walker, of Walker, Lane County, Oregon, writes: , "I have been taking Fruitola and it has been a great re lief. I suffered so with gall-stones my family and friends didn't expect me to live." Fruitola is a powerful intestinal lubricant and softens Ihe hard ened particles that cause so much suffering, expelling the congest ed waste in an easv, natural manner, to the sufferer's great relief. A single dose is usually sufficient to clearly indicate its efficacy. To build up and restore the weakened, mn-down system, Traxo is ' highly recommended as a tonic-alterative that acts on the liver and kidneys, stimulates the flow of gastric juices to aid digestion and removes bile from the general circulation. Fruitola and Traxo are prepared in the Pinus laboratories at Monticello, IlL, and arrangements have been made to supply them through representative druggists. In Oregon City, Portland, Canby and Hubbard they can be obtained at Huntley Bros. Co. Drug Stores. Mm which an illustration is shown here. Not even the number of gores has de terred them from taking a fancy to this skirt, the novelty and the effect iveness of it having far outweighed the task of making it. The most ef fective developments are in two ma terials, making the alternate gores of the different materials. Needless to say, in this lies the chief beauty of the skirt.. One may use the fame material in two contrasting colors or contrasting materials in the same shade. These skirts are often made in two colors of serge, as black and white,- or brown and white; or they are made in combinations of serge and satin, broadcloth and velvet, or taf feta and serge. Taffeta or corduroy in two colors is very often employed with good results also. - I As to Separate Blouses The waists go with separate skirts and suits are, as a rule, very simple. White and pale flesh-colored blouses are still favored, though the fashion "of having the blouse match in color the suit with which it is to be worn is again coming in. For this reason there are some dark blouses seen. Satin and Georgette are combined for waists that form part of the costume. The sleeves and upper part of the waist are generally of Georgette and the lower part which comes nearest the skirt is of satin. Striped satin is also used for waists combined with Georgette or chiffon. A charming model for dressy wear was made of blue and white striped satin with white Georgette. It had a large Cape collar. - in separate collars to be worn with dresses and suits, the style that goes well up in the back and almost touch es the hair is one of the very newest in Paris. Most collars continue to be very large, though some small ones are seen. A Skirt of Many Gores In the matter of separate skirts there is a striking novelty which has mad a strong appeal to many women This is the fourteen-gored skirt, of It is dangerous to put anything In to the mouth except food and drink.

IMPORTANT MEETING Lime Convention at Corvallis to be Attended by Grangers A meeting of importance to Wil lamette valley farmers is the lime convention to be held at the Benton county court house at Corvallis on Saturday. The meeting was called by State Grange saster C. E. Spence of Beaver Creek and representatives of the grange, farmers' union, Equity societies and taxpayers for the pur pose of organizing the farmers of the valley to procure lime at a price within reach of farmers. That there is great need for lime on most Willamette valley soils is not disputed, but the price asked by deal ers has sometimes been prohibitive. There is an abundance of lime tribu tary to the valley that can be ob tained if legislative action is taken. The meeting at Corvallis promises, therefor, to be important and it if re. quested that all farmers consider themselves invited to attend. ROADS BEING MARKED Commissioners Discover Law Requir ing Road Directory Signs The discovery of a law providing that the pay of county road district supervisors may be withheld until such public employes have properly marked with legible directory boards all the roadways in their respective districts and the earnest desire on the part of the county court to see such signs erected has caused the com missioners to send out requests to supervisors asking for assistance. The supervisors of the 57 road dis. tricts will estimate the number of signs needed to thoroughly post the roads for the convenience of travel ers and will send this information to the court. The signs, both showing distances between communities and warning of dangerous approaches, bridges and such, will be painted at the order of the court and distributed. The supervisors are asked to desig nate the location of such signs in their districts. The Courier $1.00 per year. VOTE FOR Wm. M.

Swede Denies Charge at Hearing and at Trial Confesses Fritz Hultberg plead guilty in Justice of the Peace Haines' court at Oswego late last week to charge of assault and battery preferred by Mrs. S. S. Boutz of Oswego. Hultberg, a native of Sweden, was tried in the same court on July 8 by a jury of six and the jury disagreed after Hultberg had emphatically denied the charge. Mrs. Boutz and her three-year-old son stopped at the Hultberg place on an errand July 1 and were attacked by Hultberg, who is said to have beaten them severely, clubbed them and threatened their lives. Mrs. Boutz was treated by Dr. Rossiter at OBwego and the doctor was one of the witnesses for the state at the trial, corroborating plaintiff's testimony. Templeton May Refuse Although he may re-consider and decide to be a candidate for re-election to the city council, Henry M. Templeton has expressed a mild dis approval of petitions in circulation here asking him to run again. Mr. Templeton has served three years on the council, but believes that one term is the proper allotment to one man. On that ground he thinks he will not again be a candidate.
