The only branch of the association in the state is at Portland. Edgar Shockley, gymna sium Instructor at the University of Oregon, and W. R. Rutherford, City Superintendent of Schools, are promot ing the project. Indications Are Levy Will Be 4.9 Mills, Although fftl.OOO More Is Sought for Roads. . Taxpayers who wish to voice recom mendations for the final county bud get will be heard by the County Com missioners Saturday morning. December 28, 'In room 820 of the Courthouse, announced W. L. Llghtner, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, yesterday. In all probability the Commissioners will make their final decision on the budget immediately after the close of the taxpayers' meeting aa was done a year ago.. Present Indications are that the tax levy will be 4.9 mills for the county. The recommended levy of the advisory budget -committee was 4.4 mills, but Commissioners Holman ana Holbrook, at a meeting at which Chairman Light ner was not present, raised the tenta tive budget to one calling for 4.9 mills, by an additional $100,000 that, it was held, was necessary to tide trie county dver the months of January and Feb ruary, because of the heavy tax de linquencies this year. Chairman Llghtner said yesterday that he did not believe this $100,000 was necessary, but that the levy would be whatever Commissioners Holman and Holbrook thought necessary, as he is going out of office next year and ddes not desire to handicap the new board in any waf. The Commissioners have been asked to levy the "limit allowed under the tax limitation law to permit Road- master Yeon to carry out his pro posed road programme for 1917, which was heavily curtailed by the advisory committee. A limit levy would . only raise $61,000 more than would be raised by the 4.9 millf levy contemplated. NAVIGATION COURSE WIDE Night Class at "Lincoln OnSns Its New Term on Monday.

A CHIIBDOBNT LAUGH AND PLAY IF Look, mother! Is Tongue Coated, Breath Feverish and Stomach Sour? ' CONST PATED 'California Syrup of Figs" Can't Harm Tender Stomach, " Liver, Bowels.

The people wouldn't pay 35c and I,tatotog3 40c for turkev. but thev swamo'ed the dealer who solcl at 22c! It works the same way in everything else jew elry, for instance. Aronson doesn't sell turkey, but he sells jewelry. He buys from exactly the same sources that other jewelers all over the country buy from, but it pleases him to make 1 0 sales at a small profit where others might be content with making one sale at a greater profit. x That's the reason f or'Aronsons success the reason for the overwhelming response of the peo ple when Aronson announced this Great Unload ing. Aronson promises to save you money just that! Do your own choosing the store is yours. Pick and choose as you will. There are guts here for every year of life, from the tiny ring or locket for the welcome little stranger to the stately brooch or quaintly fashioned jewel for old age. . And diamonds always! I was looking in the windows yesterday, jotting down some prices, when I missed a beautiful $600 solitaire that had been on display. . In I rushed to Ruef f . Rueff smiled. "Oh, I sold that today to a theatrical man," said he. "He traded in a smaller stone and paid me the difference. He got value received both ways, too, for diamonds are as certain in value as the minted coin." And Rueff is handing out diamonds these days at prices like these: $400 cluster diamond rings for $297.50. $15Q diamond rings for $108.50. $100 diamond rings for $69.75. $75 diamond rings forf52.50. $50 diamond rings for $36.75. -a $400 platinum mounted diamond lavalliere for $296.50. a $75 platinum mounted diamond lavalliere for $56.50. a $500 diamond mounted bracelet for $363.50. a $50 diamond mounted bracelet for $36.50. It is worthy of note that many of Aronson's diamond custom ers are people Who have bought diamonds in Eastern cities; they are quick to appreciate the values in Aronson's diamonds. Many buy, not because they need the diamonds, but purely as an in vestment on which they always can realize cost and more. Another customer came in who wanted two brooches. He took four out on approval, and then concluded to take 'em all. -. Certainly!
