an opportune time merits the most liberal buying, even from the most economically inclined. The
crowd we wait on daily is a happy throng because the savings are so great that buying is a plea
sure. Bear in mind that you are buying the best merchandise, in the land at sacrifice prices.

IS AT STANDSTILL
There is an utter lack of demand for
potatoes from the outside and trade
in the local market is on a nominal
basis.
Potatoes are now so low priced in
California that a large per cent of the
crop will not be dug at all. There is
a big freight handicap against the
local producer when prices are fairly
good in the south, but at the present
time the railroad charge will eat up
at least a quarter of the price receiv
ed even for the fancy stock. For or
dinary stock there is absolutely no
demand from the outside and it is
not likely thart producers could obtain
shipping charges at this time.

HINGES OF HISTORY
Have you' ever seen a true portrait
of Napoleon Bonaparte?
If so you may have noted a slight
malformation of the neck. The un
natural growth, which remained dur
ing his natural life, was caused by an
enlargement of the thyroid gland when
be was a small boy.
That thyroid gland changed the map
of the world.
One day early In the eighteenth cen
tury aD obscure physician living in a
small town in Corsica had brought to
him a little boy named Nabulione
Buonaparte. He was stunted, back
ward and at times subject to ungov
ernable tits of temper.
The physician, who was learned be
yond his time, knew if he did not cure
the boy the latter would soon develop
into an imbecile.
How he made the cure is not known,
but be was successful, and the boy
grew up and changed his name to !a
poleon Bonaparte.
What a career was his:
At the age of thirty-three this man
had tamed all Europe with the crack
of his whip lash He deposed kings
and queeus and handed their thrones
over to his brothers and sisters as one
might give toys to his children.
Striding the world like a colossus.
Bonaparte at the zenith of his power
had cine foot on Europe and the other
in America.
. By strategy he had acquired what
we know as the Louisiana purchase,
practically the territory west of the
Mississippi He said. "Whatever na
tion i-ontrols the valley f the Missis
sippi will be the most powerful nation
in the world."
Did he intend to conquer England
and Kussin and then the new conti
nent V
President Jefferson sent Livingston
to France to buy the island of New
Orleans Talleyrand. In Napoleon's
name, refused to sell an acre of the
holdings
And then -
Suddenly the entire Louisiana pur
chase was offered at a small sum. Al
though he did not have the authority
to buy so much. Livingston happily
took the risk and closed the deal
Napoleon's prophecy came true.
' The United States controlled the val
ley of the Mississippi and. it is trite to
; say. is the greatest nation In the world.
Small things?
Small things are the binges od which
the gates of history turn. ...

resentative Jefferson Levy today be
fore the House Banking and Currency
Committee which took up his resolu

Treasury to deposit $50,000,000 of Gov
ernment funds in National Banks.
Levy told the committee he had en-1
ilAavnroti in vain tn e-et. Senretarv Mac- I
Veagh to make more deposits. Mean

20 per cent. Levy said his measure
was not proposed as an aid to bankers
but as an aid to business and read let
ters indorsing it from farmers' ex
changes and produce exchanges.
The resolution was referred to a
sub-committee with instructions to

Schoenborn has been nominated as

G. G. Faulkner, formerly a resident
of- Salt Lake City, Utah, and Grand
Junction, Col., has made a suggestion
t. the authorities of Oregon City re
garding the reorganization of the fire
department. He suggests that two
men be employed at a salary as regu
lar firemen. He says one of the men
could inspect the buildings of the city
and the information obtained would
be of great service in fighting fires.
The insurance rates, according to Mr.
Faulkner, in case the system is adopt
ed, would be cut almost 'in half. He
suggests that a motor cart be 'Obtain

hose appliances in the city could be
