There have been a few attractive wooden handles with well-carved dogs heads, but they were. In the small parasols of short-time use. A French Importer had a variety of handsome umbrellas or sun umbrellas for women with amart, carved wooden handles, big balls or anleals' heads, which were reduced In price early In the season, but which at the 25 per cent reduc tion cost from $22 to $49.

'in As a Citizen of Oregon You Need The Port of Portland If you owned a store you could not make a big success unless your business methods were as modern as your competitors. Unless Oregon develops her shipping facilities she cannot expect to get her share of the world's business. It rests with the citizens of this state whether Oregon shall develop her wonderful resources and reach out for bigger markets, or remain practically an inland, state. To become a real port, a 30 foot channel must be dredged in the Columbia and Willamette Rivers from Portland to the PacificOcean. This will enable farmers, stockmen and lumbermen in the interior of th9 state to reach the marketsof the world at a lower freight rate and greater prof it to themselves. The taxing and bonding power to make these improvements can be granted to the Port of Portland only by the people of the state.

"Capital and Industry: Keep Out" WOULD YOU, AS A PATRIOTIC CITIZEN OF OREGON, PLACE SUCH A SIGN ON THE BORDERS OF THE STATE That is exactly what you will help to do if you do nothing to prevent the passage of measure No. 814 and 315 on the November ballot .entitled ."Contsitutional Amendment fixing Legal Rate of Interest in Oregon." This measure proposes to limit the rate of interest in Oregon to &hper cent. You can by law, fix the rate of interest in Oregon, but yoa can not, by law, force the loaning of money in this state,, when a much higher rate can be secured elsewhere. The passage of this measure would force the withdrawal of the millions of foreign capital which is today loaned on factories, busi. ne3s and real estate in the state and send your local money owners outside of the state to better investments Passage of this measure would mean foreclosure of thousands ofjnortgag es, would result in fin ancial paralysis, and would mean widespread unemployment.
