Roseburg, with an assessed valuation of '1, 100,000, has

Eugene, with $9,250,000 assessed valuation, has gen
eral and water bonds $1,101,500, improvement bonds
$202,000; total. $1,000,500.
If the Aledynski proposal carries. Medford's indebted-,
ness will be '10 per cent of its assessed valuation, as against
() per cent in Salem, 10 per1 cent in Roseburg, 7 per ce.nt in
Albany, 1-1.1 per cent in Eugene.
"With such a showing the bonds cannot be sold at any
thing like par. A debt of 10 per cent of the assessed valu
ation means the highest tax rate in Oregon or in the cjmn

For a quarter of a century Cottolene
has been growing steadily in favor. It
is not offered as a substitute 01 as being
"just as good" as other shortening and
frying fats. It is an original product
and better than anything else that you
can use for shortening or frying. Insist
on getting real Cottolene.
Cottolene is ready for use as you take it
from the pail. It creams up beautifully
and blends readily with the flour.
Use a third less of Cottolene than of any
other shortening or frying fat You can
use it over and over for frying. Cotto
lene does not absorb tastes or odors.
Always heat Cottolene slowly.
Pails of various sizes, to serve1 your
convenience. Arrange with your gro
cer for a regular supply.
Write our General Offices, Chicago, for
a free copy of our real cook book-
