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.

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

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.

Combination Offer Brings Best of
Reading for Dull Winter Months
Last winter, while the rain pelted
upon our sheltered home and the wind
wailed a symphony of sadness with
out our doors, we sat with feet com
fortably perched on the old heater or
if they were wet perhaps we had
them on the oven door in the kitchen
range. Remember? We suffer these
same stay-indoors days every winter.
Days when we couldn't get out if we
wanted to at least not for any great
er length of time than it takes to feed
and tend the stock. Every winter
brings a long season when the house
is the farmer's only refuge, when
roads won't permit automobiling, and
when things are so quiet that they
sometimes get on our nerves.
The Courier has made an arrange
ment to relieve this situation. This
winter every household in Clackamas
county can be supplied with a wealth
of entertaining and instructive read
ing that will fill in the spare hours
in a most delightful manner. We of
fer to new subscribers or to those who
renew subscriptions, a combination of
reading matter that simply "can't be
beat."
Look! The Courier, Today's maga
zine, the Woman's World, Home Life
and Better Farming, all for $1.25 a
year. The Courier has every single
item of news from every corner of
Clackamas county that is worth print
ing and fit to print nothing more.
The four magazines are standard pub
lications in their respective fields and
contain such a diversity of good and
instructive reading that any household
into which the combination enters will
have a complete supply of reading
matter. You cannot afford to over
look this offer. Just recall the rigor
ous days of last winter the cold,
blustery unpleasant days when you
longed for something worth reading.
Then send us your $1.25 and we will
st your name as a subscriber for one
full year to the Courier and the four
standard magazines.
Did you ever hear the like of this
offer? Of course not, and you prob-
bly will not for some time to come.
The Courier alone would cost you $1
a year. Today's magazine, with a
free pattern of your own selection, if
you send for it alone, will cost you
50 cents a year; Woman's World will
cost 35 cents; Home Life 25 cents and
Better Farming 25 cents; total $2.35.
We offer you this valuable and unpar
allelled combination for $1.25. You
simply cannot afford to miss it and we
will expect your remittance in the
next mail.

Heavy Frost in the West
From the New York World
"Why did you stop the ice, mother,
The iceman left each day?
'Twas not a heavy price, mother,
The iceman made us pay."
"My child, no cake
We need to take,
For Hughes is bound this way!"
"Why do you light the fire, mother,
So earlv in the fall?
The heat you so desire, mother,
May melt our furnace wall."
"The fire I build
To keep unchilled
When Hughes is in our hall!"
"Forecasts of 'Heavy Frost,' mother,
I read within the news.
Oh, will our crops be lost, mother,
Through frigorifte dews?"
"The weather seer
But means, my dear,
The coming here of Hughes!"
"Why does the waiting crowd,
mother,
Its various ears enfold
(Or I may say enshroud, mother)
With earmuffs, new or old?"
"Since they must hear
A Hughes speech, dear,
They guard against the cold!"
"I'll fill the stove with stacks, mother,
Of coal extremely hard,
And stuff the window cracks, mother,
So that the air is barred.
Here comes the sure
Hughes temperature,
And we must be on guard!"
JOHN O'KEEFE.
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.

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.
