EVJ3RYONJS spot'ds the (Irpni'ting of ho year 19J5.
Jt Jms been u year of unparalleled slaughter and
destruction in Europe and on the oceans, a year of sorrow
and bereavement for the rest of the world.
Tho year J 915 witnessed a reerudescenee of barbarism
and horror unmatched since Attila the Hun ravished Eur
ope, scenes of violence and carnage unequalled in the an
nals of history. The enlightened development of a thous
and vears has been ruthlessly sacrificed in tin hour. To
the widespread destruction on land has been added the
horror of the wholesale slaughter of innocents on the high
seas.
There is lit lie about the year 1915 to inspire hope for
tho future of humanity. Civilized man, stripped of his
veneer, is revealed in brutal hideousness that even the
brute never attained. The relapse has been complete. Alan
has again been a yahoo.
Yet it may prove the Pentecost of humanity.
Nineteen hundred and fifteen has been a year of hard
times and the pessimism that hard time breeds in the Pa
cific uorl Invest particularly in the Rogue River valley,
where to the general stagnation has been added the effects
of drouth. By comparison with the rest of the world, our
troubles, howevcj', are microscopic.
"We really have nothing to complain of. If we had been
uwalcc to our oppori unities and utilized the rivers that
flow ou every side, drouth could not cripple production.
If we utilized our natural soil, mineral and timber re
sources by development, there would be abundant niatcr
"ial prosperity.
Nineteen hundred and fifteen has taught us a lesson.
Et has seen the beginning of development. .More real prog
ress has been made along enduring lines than any year in
the valley's history. .If we permit 1910 to be a year of
slagualiou, wilh national prosperity revived, we have only
ourselves to blame.
With abundant natural resources, with beautiful envir
onments, with a climate nearly ideal, with capital awaiting
co-operation for investment, 191G should be a banner year
in permanent development.
Let us throw off the lethargy of 1915 and awaken to the
realization of our opportunities.

The palronsof our first class hotels and restaurants arc exact
ing they demand the best. Women go where the pastry and cakes
are noted for their excellence. Men arc attracted by hot bread and
biscuits when fresli and moist and light.
The pastry cook with a reputation uses K C Baking Powder
because he knows tiiat results are certain; every time everything
is as good as his best.
Then, too, with K C Baking Powder he can mix the various
kinds of baiter before the rush of the meal begins and bake as
needed so that every order goes to the table fresh and hot, yet the
last he bakes are just as good as ' 2 nrst.
The reasons behind these reckons is tiiat n C Is
really a blend of two baking powders. One commences
to give off leavening gas as soon as moistened. The
other requires both moisture and heat to make it
active. Dough or batter will remain in a partially
leavened condition for hours, and when put in the oven,
will come up as light as if mixed a moment before.
For cookies, pancakes," doughnuls and the like,
which cannot all be baked at once, K C is indispensa
ble. For all baking thedoublcraisc makes doubly certain.

cook anil your baking irlll lie ritual to his.
