SPRING FASHION NOTES
"The waistline will come this
prln Juat where It belongs," we
re assured by Grace Margaret
Gould In. the Woman's Home Com
panion for March. "The defining of
the normal waistline Is now a feat,
ure of the new fashions. About the
only exception to this is in the Russian-blouse
coats, where oftentimes
the loose belt hangs ,well below the
waist. The dresses in Sloven Age
effect will still appeal to the popu
lar trade, but they are no longer
high style. Among the good-lookiug
dresses showing the Moyen Age ef
fect are those made of a combina
tion of heavy and sheer liuen the
bodice portion of the heavy linen
and the lower plaited skirt portion
of sheer linen. In these dresses
which are made with a guimpe the
sleeves and guimpe are of the same
sheer linen as the plaited skirt.
"Sashes will be much worn, not
only around the normal ,waist, but
as a skirt trimming, defining a
flounce for instance and tying at
the back Just above the knees.
"The sleeves which were in our
new gowns last spring, will only be
presentable this year after remodel
ing. Sleeves are growing shorter
and the tendencies are all toward
the banishing of the long sleeve for
warm weather. For general every
day wear, many modified bishop
sleeves .will be worn, these, of
course, In the new length. But the
majority of the new sleeves end Just
below the elbow where they are (fin
ished with a fascinating little under
sleeve, frequently In the form of a
very small filmy puff. Sleeves with
& cap effect are smart In style and
they vary greatly in length, some are
not more than two inches long and
others reach halfway down the arm.
The little white under&leeve is a
moat noticeable feature of the new
sleeves. Sometimes It protrudes only
for a couple of Inches below the
upper colored sleeve, both of which
are finished with nothing more elab
orate than a half4nch hem or a lit
tle bias self-facing. The majority of
the sleeves are extremely plain and
Inconspicuous.
"Perhaps that Is the reason why
the new bracelets, many of them in
antique design, are so very elabo
rate, making a striking contrast to
the plain sleeves."

DO YOU KNOW
you are wearing stockings that have been burned? It's a
fact All black hosiery is dyed by what is known as the
"oxidized" process, which means nothing less than a "burn
ing',' process. That's exactly why even the best stockings
you can buy often "go wrong."
Armor Plate Hosiery
is not dyed by this burning
process. . The manufacturers-have
been working for
years trying to produce a
dye that would not burn
the hosiery, and they have
just perfected such a dye
which they have called "Harms Naut Dye." It harms
neither the hosiery nor the skin. The original strength of
every yarn in Armor Plate Hosiery is retained, Hence the
wearers have the assurance of the most serviceable and long
lived hosiery ever manufactured.
For the Entire Family
Armor Plate Hosiery is just as good for the woman who ex
pects service from a light-weight gauze stocking as it is for
the boy who must have a stocking that will stand the strain
and wear. . -
If you want to cut your hosiery bill in half, in
sist upon Armor Plate Hosiery every time and
for all the family. We carry in stock all the de
sirable sizes, styles and weights. Let us show
you hosiery satisf action and economy.

T
PUBLICITY FOR THE COUNTRY
STORE DISCUSSED AT EU
GENE CONVENTION.
At the Eugene convention of the
retail grocerymon of Oregon, one of
:he speakers who addressed the re
tailers on the topic, "Advertising a
Country Store," said he did not be
lieve in the efficacy of newspaper
advertising. He said he had decid
ed that out of the fulness of hie
experience.
This, however, was not the exper
ience of a number of others. The
next man who spoke on the subject
said that in his town there were
hree papers, and his store took a
good big space in all of them, not
out of loyalty to the town and not
out of charity to the editors, but
because it paid to do so. He saidi he
was a firm believer in advertising
in all its forms, and the newspaper
was one of the very best forms.
But, he went on to say, this sort
of advertising which merely an
nounces what your business is and
-hat you handle staple and fancy
goods didn't do much good. The
advertiser must be wide-awake and
bright. He must say something and
say it strong. Furthermore, he must
make no promise which he cannot
and will not live up to. If he ad
vertises that he has the best ser
vice in town, he'd better have the
beat service in town, or his adver
tising will Injure him rather than
help him.
A third agreed with what the for
mer speaker had said, and went
still farther into the matter, touch
ing cleverly on some of the psychol
ogy of advertising. When asked
how he would advertise, he replied
that it depended altogether on the
nature of the goods he had for sale.
If he were striving to sell goods
for men he would make it brief, in
goad, big type, catchy and striking,
for mera are In a hurry and they
will not stop to read a long-winded
statement or descriptions. Get the
men at one dash or you won't get
them at all. With women, he went
on, it was altogether different. To

deal in special offers, bargains of
every kind, descriptions which should
be complete. A woman will read
through a package of prices and de
scriptions. We think he to right. We have
said the same thing many times, but
It is refreshing to hear the Idea
come back to us again in such a
forcible and telling way. He has
taken the medicine and it has done

Move To Correct
Forest Boundaries
Plan to Return Four Million Acres
Of Forest Reserve, to Home
stead Entry.
Washington, D. C March 2. The
axamlnation of National Forest boun
daries carried on by the Forest of
ficers last summer and fall upon the
initiative of Secretary Wilson and
under his direction, has resulted iu
new information, which will make
it possible to restore to the unre
served public domain much land
along the edges of and jWlthin for
ests that Is not best suited to for
est purposes. This ie to be done
under a plan just approved by Pres
ident Taft. The plan was formula
ted by Secretary Wilson and Secre
tary Balldnger jointly and submitted
to the President In the following let
ter: Feb. 7, 1910.
The President, The White House.
Sir: After having very carefuity
considered the matter of eliminations
from and additions to the National
Forests, we respectfully recommend
that the following general policy be
adopted.
, 1. Lands wholly or In part cov
ered with brush or other under
grqwth which protects streamflow
or checks erosion on the watershed
of any stream important to irriga
'ioa or to the water supply of any
city, town, or community, or open
lands on which trees may be grown,
should be retained within the Nation
al Forests, unless their permanent
value under cultivation is greater
than thelT value as a protective for-
3St.
2. Lands wholly or In part
covered with timber or undergrowth,
or cut-over lands which are .more
valuable for the production of
trees than for agricultural crops,
and landa densely stocked with young
crees having a prospective value
greater than the value of the land
for agricultural purposes, should be
retained within the National Forests.
3. Lands not either wholly or in
part covered with timber or under
growth, which are located above tim
ber line within, the Forest bounda
ary or in small bodies scattered
through the Forest, making elimina
tion impracticable, or limited areas
which are necessarily included for a
proper administrative boundary line,
should, be retained within the Nation
al Forests.
.4. Lands not either wholly or in
part covered with timber or under
growth, . except ae provided for . in
the preceding paragraphs, upon
which It is not expected to . grow
trees, should be eliminated from the
National Forests,
(Signed) James Wilson, Secretary
of Agriculture, and R, A. Bellinger,
Secretary of the Interior.
A definition of the lines along
which action should . be taken was
called tor by the fact that reports
and maps are now in possession of
the Department of Agriculture which
show the character of the lands and
the cover' along the lines of the
National .Forest boundaries. The
purpose of the department in secur
ing the information was to make
possible a correction of the bound
aries on the principles now approv
ed by the President, for fe. has nev
er been Intended that the National
Forests should Include agricultural
land or grazing land not suitable
for forest purposes. Plans for gath
ering the data were drawn up un
der Secretary Wilson's direction
year ago, and Instructions .for go
ing over the 60,000 miles of boun
daries were Issued to the Nation
al Forest officers last May. As a
result the boundaries can now be
more carefully corrected than has
ever before been possible.
On the whole the changes which
are found to be called for are of
relatively minor Importance, but in
their aggregate they open to settle
ment a large amount of land. The
application of the rules which the
President has approved will mean
the early restoration to the public
domain of 4,000,000 acres or more of
National forest, land. This is some
thing over 2 per cent of the total
National Forest area. Three-tenths
of the forests have yet to be map

NO BETTER FRUIT
COUNT
ANYWHERE
EXPERT SAYS WALLOWA COUN
TY EXCELS IN COIL AND CLI
MATIC ADVANTAGES.
The following letter to this paper
from the County Fruit Inspector
contains some rood ideas of general
interest:
I wUsh to preface this article by
stating that there can be no new
facts advanced in the matter of
whether it pays to grow fruit.
Everybody that is posted at all
and is willing to take the time to
look up the Bta'istlcs knows that
fruit grqwlng has been and will be
one of the best money-getting end
money-earning Industries for the
husbandman for years to come. The
writer has been Identified for the
last 20 years with all kinds of fruit
growing and has been in all the fruit
districts of the North west, barring
none, and Wallowa county can and
will produce Juat as good fruit as
can be grown in any other fruit dis
trict, and from general observation
I consider the industry very promis
ing indeed. Now if our own citi
zens will take on a little more ac
tivity and let the general public
know of the great wealth of choice
alluvial soil that is so well adapted
to the growing of the apple and
pear, these two great staple commer
cial varieties, would be a step along
the line of progress.
It seems almost needless to repeat
that these two staple fruits have
made several districts wealthy.
Our county is what is known as
a diversified fruit growing country.
Some parts grow varieties that
other parts can not, as the cllmujic
conditions govern, but as a whole
there is no kind of fruit grown in
the Northwest that can not be grown
In Wallowa county, i have the
temerity to claim that it Is the best
county In the state for all kinds
of husbandry and the annual distri
bution of moisture is of the best.
Little has been done in a commer
cial way in this s action in regard to
fruit, as all of the older orchards
have so many varieties lit is a dif
ficult matter to collect a car-load
shipment of any one variety.
The keeping qualities' for commer
cial purposes of fruit grown In
this district is of the best, the
hardy condition of the trees make
without question the fruit better,
and apples have been known to
keep In an ordinary cellar from the
fall to the first day of June. These
facts being taken into consideration,
there Is no question but that Wal
lowa county can be known, as a. fruit
district that can grow first class
commercial varieties.
What we need and will get is
more people and of the right sort,
the kind that can produce. It will
not be the fellow that says It won't
pay, "It can not be done" and who
sits around, chews tobacco, and spits
on the stove, finds fault with his
neighbor, and is "agin" the govern
ment and law and order. Nor will
it be the looker-on who watches bis
neighbor do things and is always
talking about his in opportunities and
that he never did have a chance.
But it Is the fellow that b awake
and knows that he' can do it, and
tries to find out how to do it, and
here are no greater opportunities
anywhere than right here in Wal
lowa county to get a start in the
fruit Industry and he who takes care
ol these advantages .will grow and
prosper, and thereby become a use
ful citizen because he produces
something.
The fruit industry gives a man
with small means a better oppor
tunity to get a start than, any other
kind of farming, for it takes less
capital and the man who will
ing to work can in a short time
be Independent.
Whenever persons are entering
upon the production of any new in
dustry H is not a LI sunshine; there
will be a few storms, but if you
stick you are sure to win.
There is a tendency to specialize
In all kinds of industries, and why
not in farming, and I am of the
opinion that the future success of
the husbandman will be in specializ
ing the fruit product.
The Hour H, M. Williamson, sec
retary of the state board of horti
culture, in his ta'.k before the Ore
gon Agricultural college voiced these
same statements. He atea stated
that the. day for the home orchard
for commercial purposes is past,
and that the product of the future
will be In orchards planted and cul
tivated solely for apples and pears,
according to up-to-date and scientific
methods. He also declared that the
Northwest leads all other districts
in scientific orchard practice, which
will tend to centralize the industry
in this region, thereby making it
eventually supreme. He also states
that there will be no overproduc
tion of fruit and has to support this
statement these facts: That the
consumption la rapidly Increasing,
while the production is 40 per cent
less than It was 40 years ago.
Why not take advantage of this
cheap land and plant a good com
mercial orchard. Find out what Is
best for your district and plant U.
