AND some people; wowlor wliy Oregon has the initia
tive, referendum and reeuil! If the people hadn't
lliis method of undoing what the reeent special session of
the legislature hay done, there would probably be blood
shed. Of eourse no one knows all the legislature lias done as
yet, least of all the legislators. Dut aside from the fish
coniinLssion seandal there are at least two aeeomplish
nients, which the people will proceed to snow under just
as soon as they get th'e opportunity.
One is the proposition to disenfranchise the independ
ent voter and make supreme the old party machine slogan.
"Vote the ticket straight!" and the other is to make
amendment of the constitution practically impossible by
requiring a two-thirds vote of the registered electorate.

DIDN'T HAVE A ILL
DAY FOR 25 YEARS
"I had net seen a well day In
twenty-five years until I started tak
ing Tanlac," said .Mrs. Virginia Stapp
of 1S5 Valencia St., San Francisco
Cal.
"I was beginning to think," she
continued, "that 1 would have to bear
my wretched health as long as
lived. 1 had no appetite, and when
managed to eat a few bites 1 could
not digest it and as 1 could get no
strength or nourishment I fell off
twenty-five pounds In weight. I hard
ly knew what it was to be without
a headache. All my life I have been
so constipated that every day for
years 1 had to take a laxative. My
tonguo was always coated and 1 had a
bad taste In my mouth all the time
.My condition was so bad that I cc-uld
get little sleep, but would roll and
toss about all night long.
"Hut all that is changed now, for
since tukins Tanlac I am able to oat
anything I please without any bad
after effects and I have actually gain
ed thirty pounds. 1 haven't had t
headache in so long 1 have almost
forgotten about them. My constipat
ed condition has been relieved and
never have that bad taste or coated
tongue any more. I sleep nine to
ten hours every night, can do my
housework with case and I have so
muc h new life and energy that I Just
feel fine all the time."

Head and judge for yourself.
The demand Is greater than the
supply.
Fur the liino months ended Sole
lumber :10th, 11,770,000 barrels wuro
withdrawn from storage, consump
tion for the period being that much
greater than production. At the
present rato of consumption oil held
in storagu will be entirely exhaustud,
according tc- the New York lOvcaing
Post, before the end of 1120.
This country produces approxim
ately ltd percent ot the world's total
crude petroleum. The demand for 11
is growing all the while. More than
half the vessels nu-w being built are
to be oil burners; the new ships of
the enitcd Stales navy now under
construction are all oil burners. Lo
comotives burning oil consumed in
the t'nitcd Slates 111 the year 1917,

least lour million nuti.'iuobiles in the
I'lilted Stales, probably averaging
five hundred gallons ot gasoline
apiece a year. It Is estimated that
there are over thirty millions o( in
dustrial horsepower In this country
and iiuiniiliietnriiiK pluuts tiro turn
ing more and more tL- fuel oil because
of its greater economy.
Petroleum's possibilities unfold
with a rapidity that almost slHgter
the imagination.
The statistics of the I'nited States

quirements c-f tills country were ap
proximately fifty-two million barrels
in excess of the 1'nitod Slates supply
in Ihe year 1917. Oil slocks have
rosistered sensational advances since

sixty to one hundred and seventy

Insist on Genuine Ford Parts
Imitation "Ford"' parts are being sold by many mail-order houses,
down-town stores and garages to unsuspecting Ford owners as "Ford"
parts. Hut they tire not ( ienuine Ford parts made by the Ford Motor Com
pany. They are made by concerns that have no connection whatsoever
with the Ford Motor Company. Those imitation parts are not even made
from the same grade of steel, or under the same formulas used by the Ford
Company. They are counterfeit parts. Tests have shown them to break
when the genuine Ford part's didn't even bend, and they generally are
from thirty-five to one hundred per cent lower in quality.
The Authorized Ford Dealer is your protection. As such, we handle
nothing but the Genuine Ford parts. They are made from the famous
Ford Vanadium Steel and each part according to its use is heat-treated
in the way that will give it the longest wearing qualities. Every part is
the same as its duplicate in your Ford car or Ford truck.
Our stock of parts is complete. And our Ford garage and Ford niochar.
irs are at your service at all times. Drive in when replacements or repairs
for your Ford car may be necessary. Save your car and also your money..
