You to Vote for
BOB STANFIELD
Two centuries ago there “reigned"
In Paris a greater personage than the
young king, Louis XIV., or his regent,
the duke of Orleans—a money wizard,
whose operations are recalled by the
Ponzi speculative scheme In Boston.
He was John Law, a Scotsman, who
through his friendship with the duke
of Orleans, established a credit hunk
on the theory that money is the cause,
not the result of wealth. He obtained
for the bank a monopoly of the na
tion’s foreign trade, the profits of
which would repay the Investors.
In 1716 Law established a private
bank with a capital of 6.000.000 livres,
with power to Issue notes. It became I
an Instant success, and his paper cur
rency became more valuable than the
minted currency of the government
Then he formed his company of the
west, developing Louisiana territory,
with a capital of 100,000.000 livres.
New Orleans was built. Trade ex-
panded. Shares In the company rose
tn value until first Paris and then the
whole of Europe went mad. Every-
one was growing rich. Law became.
director general of finance for France,
But the height was reached in De-
cemher of 1719, when his enemies, by
side schemes, began to break him. He
suddenly found himself bankrupt He
escaped from France, became a wan
derer and died In poverty.

At the entrance to the Champs

boundary of the place, are the famous
“Horses of Marly.” by Guillaume
Coustou. and at the eastern side at
the entrance to the Garden of the
Tuileries, are the “Renommées" of
Covzevoz—Mercury and Fame be-
stride horses.
In the center rises the obelisk of
Raineses II, towering 7G feet, and
weighing 240 tons. It Is a single block
of reddish granite, more than 3.000
years old. and It once stood before
the temple of Amenhotep,
near
Thebes. It was brought to Paris in
1836.

“All who are earnestly desirous that the Republican party shall take
control of national affairs, to the end that we may restore the health of
the Republic and insure the good of the country,will wish, as I wish, that
the voters of Oregon may find it to their best judgment to support Robert
N. Stanfield for United States Senator.”

The Next Vice President Wants Oregon to Send
a Republican Senator
“The success of the Republican ticket in Oregon is earnestly to be de
sired. More than that, my own desire to preside over a Republican Sen
ate leads me to hope for and recommend the election of R. N. Stanfield
to represent your great state in that honorable body.”
CALVIN COOLIDGE.
Young Teddy” Makes the Same Request of You
“Heartily endorse candidacy of Robert N. Stanfield for Senate. Apart
from the fact that a Republican majority in the Senate is of vital impor
tance just now, he is the type of man all the voters of Oregon should be
proud to have represent them.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Taft Urges that You Vote for Stanfield
“Election of Harding is assured, but he can do little unless he has a
local Republican majority in the Senate and the House. 1 earnestly urge
all who vote for Harding to vote for Stanfield.”
WILLIAM H. TAFT
Hughes Believes in Stanfield
“I cordially endorse the candidady of Robert N. Stanfield for United
States Senate. In addition to Mr. Stanfield's qualifications for that office,
it is of very great importance that there should be a Republican majority
in the Senate to support a Republican President and make possible an
efficent and successful administration. 1 sincerelv trust that the people
of Oregon will not fail to elect Mr. Stanfield.” CHARLES E. HUGHES.

At first sight It may mem Strang*
that the Hood should carry o.dy the
same armament as th« Queen Eliza

Hood. As a matter of fact, the Queen
Elizabeth’s guns are forty-two calibers
in length; but the guns of the Hood
are forty-five cnllber long and have
greatly Increased muzzle velocity. It
Is believed that the gun weighs a lit
tle under one hundred tons and fires
a 1,950-pound shell with a muzzle vel
ocity of 2.800 foot-seconds. Another
Improvement over the Queen Eliza
beth Is that the new guns have an
elevation of 30 degrees for a maximum
range of 38.000 yards. The loading

Colors Bave the Egg*.
We Eave heard a great deal about
protective coloration in nature, and
when wo eapaider the advantages
which accrue to protectively colored
eggs we tuay wonder why some eggs
have remained pure white through th»
ages, why others are of the most con
spicuous greenish blue, and why stilt
others stand out by their spotted or
speckled patterns, says the American
Forestry Magazine. White eggs ar»
for the most part laid by hole-nesting
species of birds like the owls and
woodpeckers, and since the eggs are
well hidden In tljelr dark cavities It
has not been necessary for them to
develop protective coloration.

They were kept at the Infectious dis
