Already the mills are refusing to sell, any rugs at the old-price schedule. The mills cannot secure the essential dyes from Europe and consequently there will be a scarcity of rugs on the market. This Large Purchase Was Made Months Ago At that time conditions were normal and the mag nitude of our order placed secured a substantial concession Jn price from the mills. For us to buy these same rugs now at the same price would be sim ply out of the question. "We could hold these rugs until the prices reached the high-water mark and then sell them at a large margin of profit, but this is not our plan. We feel that selling these rugs at the special price at this time will do us more good from an advertising standpoint than anything we could possibly do, so they go' on sale tomorrow at onl - $18.85 Imported Dyes Are Used Exclusively in These Rugs America has never been able to produce the rich dyes the mills Import from Europe. Some mills may use domestic dyes, but the qualfty of rugs produced will not compare with these imported-dye rugs. The colors are v.fery beautiful, blending into each other in perfect harmony. The designs are exact reproductions of old Oriental masterpieces, while the texture of the rugs, is extra heavy Axminster .and closely woven. The backs are heavily sized to assure long service. ,Pay the Small Amount of $l.QO Weekly It any One should by any strange reason ing question In the slightest degree the high quality of these rugs the fact that we frankly state we prefer to sell these rugs or. the ' low-credit terms of $1 weekly ought to convince him on that score. The terms upon which these rugs are sold is the strongest possible guarantee of their qual ity that we could give you. You never had a better opportunity to buy as good rugs forV so low a price. .

NO MATTER where you live, whether you have plenty of room or are limited to small quarters, you may enjoy the fragrance and rare beauty of blooming bulbs, grown by yourself fn your own home. The attractive thing abut bulbs is that they bloom In mid-Winter, when flowers are scarce and expensive, and, with ordinary care, they last longer than any cut flowers you can buy. Their .rich opulence and exquisite odors are especially pleasing at the time when other flowers are hard to ob tain. Probably the one thing that keeps every home from raising at least a few flowering bulbs each Winter is the Idea that is prevalent that bulbs are hard to raise and that they are "mussy" and dirty and that it is diffi cult to get good results unless one is an expert. The contrary is really true. Bulbs are simple to care for and espe cially free from the bother of hand ling which so many people imagine. Bulbs should be planted immediately. Uin fact, they may be planted at any time after the middle of September. By planting at once beautiful blooms may be enjoyed by Christmas time and dur ing the months of January and Feb ruary. -. " i The first requisite is a cold, dark corner where the potted bulbs may be stored while taking root. A cellar or attic or shed is acceptable, in fact, any place where the thermometer does not actually reach the freeilng point, but where it is, still sufficiently cold to prevent top 'sprouting before the root system has been well formed. The great secret of rich, well-matured blooms is a strong root system, devel oped before top growth has begun. It is injportant that care be taken In the preparation of the soil in which the bulbs are planted. Soil taken from the compost pile is best, that Is, soil which has been enriched by having been mixed with leaves, sod and gar den refuse which has been allowed to rot. If this Is' not available the rich upper loam from the woods is admira ble. Otherwise any good, rich, light soil may be made to suffice. Keep fer tilizers out of the potting soil until the plants have been brought up . into the light, when a little bone meal dug into the soil, not too close to the bulbs, is about as good as anything. Or liquid fertilizer may be sprinkled over the soil. Too much- fertilizer creates an "artificial"" growth, which -results in the decay of the-bulbs. The bulbs, in pots, should be covered with burlap while in the cellar. This will be sufficient, protection from the light, provided the windows in the cel lar or closet are well curtained. The old idea of covering the -bulbs with ashes is a nuisance. - . Bulbs should be watered thoroughly when first potted, after which a good watering about once every two weeks Is all that they should have. The bulbs should be planted so that, the nose is visible. They should be stored for from eight to 1$ weeks, in which time they wll have developed a good root sys tem and may then be brought into the light. It is then that the forcing proc ess should commence. -The fertiliser may be added and growth will" be ex ceedingly rapid. A well-developed root system will generally result in ihe roots being visible at the drainage hole of the pots. In selecting pots insist upon plenty of root room. A few bulbs started now will prove a source of real pleasure later in the Winter. For the dining-room table or the living-room they are Ideal, while they make a unique gift for the invalid. Their quick, steady growth and the bursting out of the bloom are most fas cinating. DAIRYMEN STOCKING UP Larger Supplies Being Provided . Than Usual for Winter in Polk. BUENA VISTA. Or.. Oct. 3. (Spe cial.) The farmers and dairymen In the Lucklamute Valley, com prising a large territory of Polk Coun ty, now have in store a large supply of hay for the Winter. The desire is expressed to further Increase the al ready large cream checks this Winter. The silos are also taking In their sup ply of corn, and with a large quantity of beets, pumpkins and kale this Win ter is expected to surpass by far anv previous year in the production of cream. ' Many dairymen in Polk County now draw monthly cream checks amount ing to 100 or more. The farmers in grain producing districts have learned by experience that the process of mere grain growing is insufficient, and that the combination of raising crops and milking cows is a successful one. The long spell of dry weather has not af fected the ka.le in aiy harmful way, and this productive material will be fed liberally. ALFALFA YIELDS 3 CROPS Baker County Production ' or - All Grains Snows Increase BAKER. Or, Oct. 1. (Special.) The third crop of alfalfa is now being cut on many of the ranches in the Imme diate vicinity of Baker, where, condi tions have been better ; for large hay crops than in many years. The third crop is proving to be almost as large as the first and second. -. , The grain yield for the county is placed at 100,000 bushels more of wheat than ever before and about 25 per cent Increase in the barley and oats crops. Farmers are hauling their crops to the warehouses, but not many are selling, the word having gone out to hold for higher prices. Rye in the Pleasant Valley district averaged S5 bushels an acre. . t f f 41iiniTy iTj"' Yirf J 1 t ? . xs t if ; " h !

He is a member-of the Fong family, the originators of the Oriental bazaars that have become a seat of tourist interest in every large city. Mr. Fong also is a nephew of Fong Wing, president of the United States Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Medal of Honor Won, Mr. Kim has received all his educa tion in this country, winning the medal of honor when he 'was graduated from the San. Francisco grammar schools. He rlnished high school in two years and was granted the degree of bachelor of science by the civil engineering depart ment of the University of California last May. While n the university Mr. Kim took a prominent part In athletics, especially track and tennis. For three years while attending the ' university Mr. Kim served as special private secretary to Consul General Lai Wing Tou at San Francisco. During tihe time Kim prepared a complete dis cussion of the naval policy of China and tendered the same, with other na val data, to Prince Zalsuun. head of the imperial admiralty board, who was in this country looking after the purchase of several armored cruisers. Rare Decoration Awarded. For the many services performed in the interest of the Chinese Government Mr. Kim was decorated by Prince Zal suun with the gold medal of the Order of Meritorious Service. Awarding of this medal is rare and is looked upon as one of the highest honors that can be conferred upon a Chinese. The imperial government now has under consideration the appointment of Kim to the Ministry of Communication, to which board he will serve as an engineering adviser. Mr. Kim will remain with the South ern Pacific about six months and tlren return to his fatherland to take up his duties.

POLK GOPHERS ARE FOUGHT Farmers Trapping and Killing for 25-Cent Bonnty. BUEN'A VISTA, Or., Oct. 3. (Spe cial.) A bountyof. 25 cents a head having been offered for all animals killed) the farmers in numerous dis tricts in Polk County are waging war on gophers. The chinch trap and gopher gun are used in fighting the pests. Those who have been doing the trap ping so far report profitable results. The gophers are unusually numerous in the clover fields, where they live on the plant. The increased clover acre ace" has had a corresponding effect on the number of these animals. Warren Neal, a Civil War veteran, has succeeded In trapping 41S on one farm. " McCleary Homes la Demand. ELM A, Wash., Oct. 3. (Special.)
