mined effort to secure the fair, and has
made a flattering offer to the commits
tea, which has been authorized to look
over tho several sites offered and make
a report to tho stockholders, who will
decide the matter. There seems to be
no other site offered, at this time. Sev
eral months ago Willamette made a
tentatlvo proposition to the committee
on site, but this offer was later with
drawn on account of the Inability of
the people of Willamette to make sat

Ben Franklin
who used to run a newspaper down East years ago, also edited
an almanac which contained some wise Baylngs. Hero Is ono
of them:
"Tho way to wealth, If yoti desire It, Is aa plain aa the way
to market. It depends chiefly on two words Industry and
frugality. Ho that gets all he can honestly and saves all he
gets (necessary expenses excepted) will certainly . become
rich."
What Ben said was not only true at that ,timo, but It still
holds good at the present day.
There Is no better way to save than to have a bank account '
We will bo glad to have you start an account at this bank;

things being directly beneficial to the
farmers.
1 The club will endeavor to secure,
through Clackamas County's repre
sentatives In tho State legislature,
I some provision for the protection of
I sidewalks that are constructed along
! tho county roads. This is a propo
sition that the club members are espe
cially enthusiastic about, for they are
building sidewalks and they natural
:ly desire that these walks receive the
! protection o which they are entitled.
More can S40 was subscribed fori
tho new walks fiat are being project-1
ed, and the t,; . now has over $50 to j

GET RESULTS
WHEN YOU
SPRAY
So many people think of this spray
ing' business a good deal as we used
to think of our studies at school. If
we could slide through any old way,
without working, wo were beating the
teacher just that much. And, In a
measure, this Is true with many peo
ple about spraying.
They spray because they must be
cause the fruit Inspector might raise
a row If they didn't. But, after all, If
tho rlght material la used, It is not an
expense ; ' on the contrary, every one,
nearly, who has carefully watched the
results finds In the eud they have
saVed money by the large Increase In
fruit as a result of proper spraying.
But! to get the right material that's
I the rub. Probably no concern today
makes such a fine calcium sulphide so
J lution as the Rex Company. Their
spray is endorsed by the U. S. Gov-1
eminent, and our own State entomolo

SIMPLE HOME REMEDY
Hundreds of People in Vicinity Here
Will Welcome This Advice, Say's
Local Druggist. '
LOST Dark bay mare, with two white
hind feet and star on forehead,' and

shoulder.. Fife yeard ftld and weighs
between 800 and 900 pounds. Re

E. Burns, bottt of Oregon City.
What will appear very Interesting to
many people here Is the article taken
from a New York daily paper, giving
a simple prescription, as formulated
vby a noted authority, who claims that
he has found a positive remedy to
cure almost any case of backache or
kidne yor bladder derangement, in
the following simple prescription, It
taken before the stage of Bright's dis
ease: .-.
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;'
Compound Syrup Sarsaparllla, three
ounces. Shake well In a bottle and
take In teaspoonful doses after each -
meal and again at bedtime.
t A well-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this pre
scription, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
at a small cost from any good prescrip-
tlon pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up If asked to do so. He further
stated that while this prescription Is
often prescribed In rheumatic afflic
tions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why. It would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and uri
nary troubles and backache, as it has
a peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most Impor
tant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blood the fou) acids
and waste matter whlehj cause sick
nessand suffering. Those of our read-;'
erg who suffer cai make no mistake .
in giving It a trlaL
