“ Such baits are m ost effective if

For cut-w orm s a still

Frauds are being p erpetuated in sev

A nother is offering a prem ium with
subscriptions to a paper, which turns
out to be a fake.
Dean A. B. Cordley of the agricul

a farm er near Tuolitin, asking if he
gave his endorsem ent to such men.
The le tte r says:
“ A man named Saunder claims to

He claims th a t

Woodrow Wilson Comments on the
Breaking Down of P arty Lines.
"The country is aw akening to a de
gree of civic consciousness known be
fore only in the period when the coun
try w as born.” said G overnor Wood-
tow Wilson of New Jersey In a recent
address. “ We are scrutinizing the men
who are conducting the government.
W e know we ¡ire living in an age of
complicated conditions. Front all our
cities man a fte r man tells me th a t nev-
er before have the citizens been so
awakened to public question»—to the
question of public degeneration.
"T he interesting thing of our polities
now Is th a t men are not labeled. You
cannot tell from the way a mint voted
la~t tim e how he will vote the next
time. Men are beginning to find out
th a t the safe line Is the rig h t line.

it is to be used by all the members
of the family, who often keep in it
their toilet articles. Downstairs ar-
