Remember the time whsn we had to smoke the mos
quitoes away of an evening? And to brush the flies
or simply endure them? How times have changed!
"Now we know that these insects were the mrars of
spreading dangerous diseases, and protect our homes
and families by screening them out.
It pays, both from the standpoint of comfort and con
venience or health.
Our stock of screens and screening permits you to fit
any door or window. We handle the best quality
which will last for years. This means that you can
put them up in a few minutes next season, thus saving
you the time and trouble of fitting new ones as well
as the cost of buying them.
How about screening off that porch? It will be the
most popular place in the neighborhood. Come in and
see how little it will cost.

BROKERS TRYING TO
DEPRESS HOP TRADE
Effort of the bearish brokers of
Portland to depress 'the price of hop
conlnrt would be amusing to the
trnile If the matter wu not a very ser
ious thing for producers.
It I known positively that Ixmla
lAt'liinund of Snlein received an ord
er from England for 600 bale of 191
crop, and wa ablo to pay from 220
to 2;lc a pound for them. He haa
been i'Oiiring the valley for supplies
at this range, notwithstanding the
fact that the bearish Interest spread
reimrt that growera are willing to
sell at 21c.
That someone I heavily abort of the
1912 crop of hopi here I Indicated by
the desperate effort being made by
certain brokers to preud misleading
reports to Influence the price down
ward. Growers are very firm In their
