GRAY FUR FOR TIUMMIXG
Gray fur 1 Invaluable for trimming.
On many of the nawer frocks It makes
Its appearance In the smartest man
ner. And It has that air of being the
thing to do. It "snaps up" a dark
dress remarkably. It brings a coat
out of the ordinary run and even on
evening dresses It has a distinctive
place that makes known the gown's
claim to smart society. Gray fur com
bined with sliver cloth is a success,
especially when the combination is
posed against a black surface.
Another suit, of black silk duvetine,
has all of the grace and softness
which that sort of material can give
to a suit. The lines are graceful and
becoming, to begin with, and when the
artistically arranged bands of gray
astrakhan were added the original
charm of the cut was accentuated.
The coat of this street suit has that
long-waisted effect which seems to be
inevitable, emphasized by a tight band
of a belt dged at top and bottom with
the far. The tight collar hugs about
the throat and the little bands of fur
are arranged In designs at the sides
of the Bkirt and also used for an edg
ing along the uneven skirt line. The
little hat that caps the climax Is made
of the same fur. It Is nothing but the
tightest of little turbans with a wide
band for a brim and a snug little
round section rfor a crown.
Altogether this suit makes a becom
ing winter garment, extremely dressy,
designed for wear at afternoon recep
tions and other sorts of daytime af
fairs where more than the usual plain
suit Is needed. It takes the place of
. a dress and constitutes a wrap at the
same time, In this way compensating
for its rather more lavish appearance.
Draping Very Popular.
The coat Is an example of many
made along these lines and worn with
more and more zeal as the days go by.
Practical women who are always find
ing fault with the serviceability of
their clothes, are murmuring that, per
haps, these garments will not be any
too warm, but the fact Is they are
warm enough for the usual occasion
warmer than a coat suit. It was Inter
esting to see just how smart the short
coats looked. There could be no bet
ter choice for the woman to whom that
sort of coat Is becoming.
Short women, as a rule, do not look
so well In the short coat as the taller,
more statuesque women, who have the
lines to withstand that cutting off of
the figure which the shorter jacket
naturally brings In its wake. How
ever, when the jacket and skirt are
of one and the same color, they can
be more readily conformed to the lines
of the shorter stature, even when the
figure Is Inclined to be plump.
Draping, and still more draping, is
the order of the day. Morning dresses
are draped as well as the afternoon
sort, and for evening there Is nothing
but drapery. It Is Impressive to see
how many ways there are of arranging
the draplngs for different types of
women. And It is no less impressive
to see how many women are adopting
these clothes to their own particular
styles.
The draped gown is one of the really
beautiful evening frocks of the sea
son. It is of black velvet, but any
color of velvet or brocade would lend
Itself to the making of this gown In

a more than usually Interesting wan
ner. Tht only trimming Is that band of
handsome, wide gold lace swung across
the shoulders and interrupted only by
fall of draping over the left shpulder.
This 1 one of the gowns draped
differently cn each side. For that mat
ter, most of them are done In this way.
fnr it is the rilvereence of line which
helps to make a gown beauiiful and to
bring it Into line with the general
run of this season's Styles. The folds
of fabric are handled at the back In
an unusually Interesting way, giving
a grace to that portion of the figure
which Is not always Its share.
Draped dresses for daytime wear are
particularly lovely and different from
those we have been having.

WILL INVESTIGATE
FARM PRODUCT RATES ,
Railroad rates on farm products
are now being brought to the bar of
public opinion, according to recent
news events. During the next few
months the present railroad rate
structure will undergo the severest
scrutiny. Many observers acquaint
ed with present conditions predict
a complete readjustment of freight
rates so as to recognize the changed
relation between the prices of farm
products as compared with prices of
manufactured articles.
A development of special interest
is the ordering of hearing by the
Public Service Commission of Oregon
on railroad rates on farm products.
This step is taken in response to
requests from a number of farm or
anizations. No date has yet been set
for the hearing but an announcement
on this point is expected shortly.
Another important action is that
taken by the Montana Public Service
Commission which, in response to
complaints filed with it, will ta"ke up
the matter of equalization of freight
rates on grain between western anc
eastern shipments.
Of further local importance is tht
investigation ordered by the Inter
state Commerce Commission on rail
road practices and raites with refer
ence to wool. Hearings will be held
at Billings, Montana, April p6; Salt
Lake, April 30; Boise, May 4; Port
land May 7; Phoenix, May 14.
"It ia ordered," runs the statement
by the Commission, "that the com
mission on its own motion enter up
on a proceeding of inquiry and inves
tigation into the reasonableness and
propriety of the rates, rules, regula
tions, transit arrangements and min
imum carload rates on wool and .mo
hair, in whatever conditic-rtid in
whatever form of package shipped,
from the Pacific coast and interme
diate territory west of the eastern
boundaries of tho Dakotas, Nebras
ka, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas via
all-rail, to all points east of said line,
and from said intermediate territory
vlp, rail and water to the Atlantic
seaboard ports; and from said inter
mediate territory via rail to Pacific
ports, locally and as proportional
rates on traffic movement beyond in
coastwise transportation td or via the
Atlantic seaboard ports, with the
view of prescribed reasonable, pro
per, non-discriminatory, non-prejudi
cial and otherwise lawful rates:
rules, regulations, transit arrange
ments and minimum carload weights
for said traffic if the present are
found to be unlawful."
Notice of the investiation was or
dered served upon state railroad
commissions concerned as well as up
on carriers and shippers participat
ing in the traffic.

FOREST PROTECTIOX
WEEK PROCLAMATION
Salem, Ore., April 10. Whereas,
Hon. Warren G. Harding, president
of the United States, has issued a
proclamation urging the governors of
the various states to designate and
set apart the week of April 22-28,
1923, as Forest Protective week; and
Whereas, the people of Oregon are
more dependent upon the timber
wealth, the wealth, the utilization
and perpetuation of her lumber In
dustries and conservation of her
stream flow than any other state,
and
Whereas, in spite of tho protection
afforded by the federal, Btate and
private forest protective organiza
tions, our annual losses of standing
timber are periodically in excess of
what they should be; and
Whereas, such losses result in in
creased taxes and a removal of a
possiblo field for labor to the detri
ment of all our citizens; and
Whereas, over eighty per cent of
our forest fires are the result of
man's carelessness or thoughtless
ness, Therefore, I, Waller M. Pierce,
governor of the state of Oregon, do
proclaim April 22-28 as Forest Pro
tection week and urge upon all
schools, civic organizations, citizens,
and the press to unite In thought and
action looking to a better under
standing of the need of protecting
our forest resources and that it be
bro'ight to the attention of the pub
lic In every way possible that It Is
the duty of every citizen to help pre
vent and suppress forest fires.
In witness whereof, I hpve here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the state of Qfegon to be affixed.

THINKS SMALL FARMER
, BENEFIT BY NEW BILL
(By L. A. Hunt, Manager Ore. Co
operative Hay Growers)
The advocates of the rural credit
legislation which has just been ap
proved by the president have said
great things for it. This was true of
tho War Finance Corporation, which
gave little if any relief to small far-
wers. The new bill, however, was
framed with the idea of providing
cheaper money for agricultural pro
duction expense, cheaper money to
financo livestock operations and to
offer marketing organizations certain
finances at reasonable interest rates.
The farmers of the irrigated district
have been giving this bill considera
ble study and have built a certain
amount of hope thereon.
The Hay Growers association has
also been studying the problem pre
sented by this bill, with the hope of
securing better finances for their
members than they at present enjoy.
Business men feel that if it is possi
ble to obtain cheaper money for the
small farmer, that every' reasonable
effort should be putt forth to forward
the movement.
Just how desirable and just how
accessible is this federal money, and
what must bq done to secure It? And
is this within the reach of the irri
gation farmers?
In answer to these questions it
seems possible to state with reason
able accuracy that the interest rate
which will be charged by the federal
government will be five and one-half
per cent.
This money must either be handled
by a local bank or by a credit or
ganization formed for this particular

purpose; and inasmuch as the al
lowance of one and one-half per cent
Is not sufficient to justify banks in
taking care of the matter, it seems
almost certain that if any cheap
money is to be secured for the small
farmer in this district a credit asso
ciation must be established.
Such an agricultural credit corpor
ation must have a minimum capital
stock of f 10,000. The subscribers
to this stock could be assured only
nominal interest upon game in thn
early years of the corporation, as it
would seem advisable for their pro
tection that tho full one and one-half
per cent be charged and that any
earnings from this source he thrown
into a reserve fund. This corpora
tion would have a rediscount privi
lege with tho federal intn medlato
credit banks of ten times its capital
stock.
Farmers desiring loans through
this association would be entitled to
three years time upon paper proper
ly secured for the purchase of live
stock. It would make funds readily
accessible for the purchase of live
stock for winter feeding. There also
seems to be no question but that it
would provide money for fanu
operations withirt reasonable
amounts, and funds for co-operativa
marketing associations. The saving
would be found In the difference be
tween seven per cent and the rate
now paid.
This subject should have consider
able further study by every interest
ed farmer, and If It shall prove to
bo as desirable as it now appears,
there should be no real difficulty in
financing such a corporation.
