LACE TRIMMED LINEN An unpretentious little one-piece linen frock is the subject of today's sketch. Extremely well cut is the frock which, covering the entire length of the front, will launder . success fully. The blouse is slightly on the surplice in effect with narrow revers of linen continuing into a round col lar at the back and supplemented by a similarly shaped collar of Irish crochet. The sleeves are trimmed with perpendicular bands of this lace holding the turn-back cuff oflinen. A tunic effect is arrived at in the skirt by the cutting away of a portion of the bottom and the inserting beneath it of an extra portion 6f linen banded by the Irish lace.

Oregon Loses One ' Million in Cash Fable Told in Which "One Hundred Honest Farmers Come to Oregon to Invest Single Tax Scares Them Away, " This is the Story of a Million Dol lars. It is likewise a Fable. It Is a Fable-of what would happen every Week, perhaps every Day, if .Single Tax passes in Oregon. .' ; This Million Dollars was owned by 100 Honest Farmers, who came from every State In the Union. Of course, this Is only a Fable because it as sumes that Single Tax has become a Law and Single Tax never can and never will become a Law in, Oregon. But the Fabled Farmers came to Oregon with their Hearts Loaded with Troubles. Their Hearts were Heavy for those with Many Woes are always Troubled. And each of these Farmers tad One Real Woe. Each Had Troubles.x The Kansan had had his Farm almost Ruined by Grasshoppers and he was Determined to Move. A Raging Flood had wasted the Lands of the Louisianian and he, too, had decided on a Change. Cyclones it was that Worried the Farmer from Oklahoma and the Nebraskan Never Could Stand a Sandstorm, The Man from Maine was Tired to Death from Dynamiting the Little Rocks he said were all over his Farm. Impover ished Soil was the ' Pet Trouble of Him from New York. Each came to Oregon, with Many Others, and Each owned Ten Thou sand Dollars in Cash. They Admired Oregon. They "visited all over the State. They were Delighted with the Cli mate. They, thought the Soil Superb. They Learned that Anything could be Grown. The Wheat Raise could be Bigger in Oregon, while' Fruits Grew as if the Lord had Made Oregon Specially for - Fruits. The Land seemed just Made for Vegetables. They thought it Peculiar that Peo ple should Chortle with Glee, par ticularly the big Corporations. Soon they Knew Why. It was be cause these farmers were to Pay--All the Taxes. Missourian Is "Shown." The Missourian found this out. He was Shown. In Oregon he learned the Single Taxers ruled. Men without Land made those who Owned Land pay All the Taxes. Taxes on Farm Lands srere High, so High that it did not Matter that the Improvements Es caped. Taxes on City Lots were so Great that it did not seem as if the Lot Owner could hold Body and Soul together" after Paying the Tax. Once all Property Owners divided the Taxation. Now the ' Man with Land had to pay All. "This is what will happen to Us," said the Missouri Farmer in this Fa ble. "We shall Spend our Ten Thou sand Dollars for Farms. Some Day our Crops May Fail. If we do not Pay our Taxes, as Some do not Pay their Taxes now, our Farms will be seized by the State. Thus every year more Farms will be seized by the State and the Taxes grow higher for the rest. State Needs Money. "For the State must have Money. "In a Few Years we should all lose our Land. The State would be the great Land Owner. We should Pay Rent to the State. Then the land in Oregon would become Poor for a "fen-, ant never cares what he does to the Owner's Property. We should just Get Enough to Eat after Paying the Rent. For me, I am Done. I shall go back to Missouri, even if I have to brave Storms and Floods." Now Capital is Timid. Capital is Nervous. And those 100 Farmers were each Scared that the State of Oregon was after their Wads. So they Fled. And, Then They Fled'. The New Yorker would rather Work on Poor Soil than not own his Farm and Pay Rent to the State. The Kan san thought Grasshoppers were not so Real a Woe as Single Tax. The Maine Farmer bought more Dynamite and said that Stones were Nothing if a Man could own nis uwn Jbana. I can Improve My Farm, said the Man from Nebraska, but Then I shall Own it, even if I have an Occasional Sandstorm. Floods worried the Chap from Louisiana less .than "Taxes that would Eat up Everything the Honest Farmer would Raise. The Oklahoman said he intended to Live in a Land where the Man who owned Property of Any Sort Paid Just, the Same as the Man who Owned Land. No Ore gon for Me, was his view. I shall Keep my own Ten Thousand Dollars. There Is a Moral. Maybe Single Tax would only, do this in a Fable. But the Farmers would act the same if Single Tax were Real and not a Fable. There is a Moral to this Fable and the Moral is: It is Better to have Everything Taxed and "Not Frighten the Farmer Away than, to -have Single . Tax and Frighten Away Everyone Who Wants to Own Land for Himself. There is another Moral, too: Thus would Oregon lose 100 honest farmers and $1,000,000 in cold cash.

Consider able rain and rather heavy wind last night did some damage to hops in this district by breaking down vines, but growers and dealers today are gener ally of the opinion that as the weath er is cold the damage will not be ser ious if the Btorm does not continue for several days. They say hops are keeping well and that the weather is too cold to cause mold. The storm has caused all picking to cease. Those vines that are down, they say, will have to be" picked immediately or be raised again, either job of which will be difficult Rain is -falling today in spells, but has not been heavy at any time.

Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of God's best gifts. It involves many things, but above all the power of ?oing out of one's self and seeing and appreciating what ever is noble and loving in an other. Just Worn Out. The teacher of 'a Sunday school class tells of the excuse for being late of fered by one of her pupils, a boy of ten years. "I asked him, 'James, why were you so late today?' '1 couldn't help it,' he explained. 'And why not?" I asked. Well,' he said. 'I dreamed that 1 was running and running and running, and when my brother woke me up I was so tired that I went back to sleep again, 'cause I'd been running such a long ways.' "Boston Traveler.
