We’ve seen H In blouse« and street frocks, In ten nis dresses and pajamas earlier this season. And now comes the gingham evening gown. Believe It or not. And it's making a great hit with the younger set. where the new order of the day Is simplicity. A gingham dance dress is of a cheeked imported gingham, in wine red and white. Ite linee are simple with a molded empire silhouette, un- . belted, following the linee of the fig ure. And Its only ornament is a crisp white organdie flower at the bodice. It has wide shoulder straps, ar ranged in a suspender fashion in back and It’s about the smartest thing that has come along. It illustrates the new trend of the best-dressed set, which frowns on ostentation and elaborate gowns, at least for this summer and bails with loud hurrahs the simple, old-fashioned fabrics that are riding high in the mode.

French, Grass VaHey, .Oregon SS To The People of Grass Valley and Vicinity: The time has come when it is no longer possible for a merchant to sell his goods on a credit basis in competition with others who demand cash upon delivery. I have tried for years to continue the credit business in order to allow my farmer customers the maximum of leniency in paying for their purchases, but under the prevailing conditions I find the credit policy no longer possible for me and believe it is of slight advantage to my customers. Consequently, beginning Monday. July IS, I will sell my Merchandise for Cash Only. By doing this I will be able to re* - duce my prices so that they will compare favorably with those that may be obtained anywhere in the trade territory. In this way no one will be obliged to pay for credit losses caused by those who cannot pay; I will be free from bookkeeping costs and other expenses that are necessary under the credit system. I deeply appreciate the friendships that have been formed during the past years of business and thank my customers for their patronage. I wish- to continue serving the community in the same manner under the new system and believe that I will be better able to do so by asking that pur chases be made for cash. Price« will be lowered drastically. < Ask for my Prices on Staple Groceries for your Harvest needs. You will be pleased. H. Zeigler ,
