The Year's Best Day

tic tribute to the purchasing power of a dollar Oregon City has ever known. Prac
tically every department in our store is represented, every human need catered to in

dreds of others who will be here. It's good judgment to come early and savings should induce you to buy liberally. Back of eyery trans

people to insure that you will be waited upon courteously and
promptly. Patrons are requested to take as many articles as possible.

to be sincerely hoped the results
aimed at may be realized, not only
in this, but in every school district
in Clackamas county. The sheriff

of an official nature.

Now is the Time to be Careful
The widespread blizzard is caus
ing such a demand for cough medi
cines that almost any sort of mix
ture is finding sale. Avoid unknown
concoctions that might contain harm
ful drugs. When you buy Foleys
Honey and Tar Compound you are
certain of getting a family cough
medicine of high standard and genu
ine merit. It contains no opiates.

A sum of $25 was netted, which will
be a nice little addition to the Red
Cross treasury. We are glad to

The funeral of Mrs. Kellar, mother
of G. Kellar of this place, was held
at the chapel of the Church of oGd
on Thursday last. She was strick
en with blindness five years ago and
has since walked in darkness. She
had seen five funerals go out from
tne house of her son since coming to
the son's farm 16 years ago, and last
summer another son who had been
up to see her from Scappoose, fell
dead as he was walking a short dis
tance from the car to his own home.
On Friday at one rj. m. the funeral
of a Mr. Krause was held from the
Mt. German-Baptist church. He liv-
d with his elder brother near John
Wankers. The two brothers had liv
ed together for many years and on
Wednesday he walked to Willamette
and brought back groceries, etc. A
passing neighbor asked him to ride
but he refused, saying he would
rather walk as the air was keen and
cold. He seemed in his usual health
when he returned, but at four o'clock
the next morning he died. He is said
to have been 56 years old and the
brother who is left so lonely, over 70.
On Friday the Ladies' Circle met
with Mrs. Gage, and the meeting

will be in attendance.

you can to help on the good wbrk. ,
On Friday evening there will be
an entertainment at thes chool house
for the benefit of the Red Cross.

greatly influenced by constitutional con
