The whole world knows Tbs Portland rose. This is the slogan that will adver tise the 1915 Rose Festival of Portland n every part of the country for the next few months. u. C.

Mr. Cooper is head of the walnut experiment station at McMinnville and is a pioneer of Oregon. He celebrated his 70th birthday last Saturday. "I had several reasons for entering the slogan contest," he said, "chief among them being my desire to at tract public interest to the state en campment of the G. A. R. which will be held in McMinnville immediately after the Rose Festival. This is the &Jth year since peace was declared and we are making It a great Jubilee and we want the G. A. R. men who come by way of Portland to the Panama Pacific Exposition, to run out from Portland to the encampment at Mc Minnville. Commander in Chief Palmer, of the G. A. R., will be there from Des Moines, and It will be the greatest G. A. R. meeting ' ever held in the state." Mr. Cooper submitted only a few slogans and two or three of the other ones he offered were well up toward the final selection. The number of slogans submitted by individuals ranged from one to half a hundred. One man sent in 53. William McMurray re-submitted the old slogan "Roses Fragrant, Roses Rare, Roses, Roses Everywhere," and this also was in the running among the topnotchers.

Mack, chief of the" milk inspection division of the City Health Bureau, received a gold medal which the city won at the Washington State Fair in North Yakima, Wash., for having the purest milk supply of any city in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and British Columbia. The medal will be given a place in a case on the wall in the milk inspection laboratories at the City Hall. The largest cities of the North west competed in the milk con test, which was conducted by the United States Bureau of Animal Industry. Milk inspectors in Portland and other, cities gath ered samples of milk from the dairymen on their routes and sent the samples to the fair for testing for purity, butterfat, Bolids other than butterf at, bac teria, flavor and odor. The musical programme of the 1915 Rose Festival is fast taking on shape, and while it may be necessary to make some changes in details, the general plan has been agreed upon. "As previously announced, it Is tne purpose of the board of governors to produce a festival that will De a les- tival in spirit and truth, and I Intend that this idea shall have lull swing in the musical part of the general pro gramme, said S. C fler, chairman oi the music and properties committee. I propose to have erected a number of music stands, located in and near the business center, to be beautifully decorated with roses and the National f colors. From these stands vocal, band and orchestra music will be rendered alternately throughout the day and evening, each performance appearing upon the daily programme of events. With this plan carried out 'there will be something musical taking place nearly every hour of the day and even ing." Professor Cowen Busy Blow. "Professor J. H. Cowen has been chosen as superintendent of the vocal music of the festival and Is a busy man these days lining up the vocal end of the work. Professor Cowen asks for the hearty co-operation of all music leaders and lovers 6f music that the vocal part of Oregon's great festival may be made a grand find impressive affair,' worthy of our great state and city." -The vocal programme as outlined will be as follows: - Wednesday, June 9 'Children's day' singing and Illustrative festival figures throughout the day at the diflerent stands and a big event of 4000 school children in chorus work and emblem atic figures at Multnomah Field. The evening event will be a grand opening choral concert at the Armory. Thursday, June 10 "Scholastic day," in which glee clubs from the Oregon colleges and high schools will occupy the stands, alternate with bands and orchestras, closing the day with a grand community sing of 4000 adult voltes at Multnomah Field. Choirs Have Friday, Friday, .Tune 11 Choral Society day." During the day choral societies and choirs of repute will occupy the stands and furnish the music, closing the last day with a grand festival cantata of 300 or more trained voices, led by Pro fessor Cowen at the Armory. It also is planned to give short sings by single and double quartets and mu sical clubs in the lobbies and parlors of all the prominent hotels ot the city. This plan has been tried out In other festival cities and has proved a catchy "stunts," adding to the festival spirit. "Many musical leaders and organiza tions already have signified their in tention to take part, and it is my hope that every Oregon singer and lover of music will join hands with us in the greatest musical outburst Oregon has ever enjoyed," said Mr. Pier, "The general programme of band and or chestra musio is arranged to work al ternately with the vocal events. The music is only a small part of the grand Hose Festival scheme the directors have in view that will show Oregon to the tourist and visitor In her most beautiful dress and In her gayest fes tival spirit."

AN OLD RECIPE TO DARKEN HAIR Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark and Glossy. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Weytb's Sage and Sulphur Compound. You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Every body uses this old, famous recipe, be cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as It does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray - hair disappears, and after an other application or two, your hair becomes Deautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.'
