SHIPLEY'S
And no doubt 200,000
men would like $5 hats.
So spent. $1,000,000 would
give much satisfaction.
But not so much satis
faction, we think, as the
$1,000,000 we spend to
"sureify" the fragrance of
your OWL Cigar.
This is how and why
we spend this $1,000,000.
(And it's often more than
$1,000,000).
To keep the OWL Cigar
always mellow and.fragrant
requires that all Owl leaf
must be time-cured lor
many long months'. And
that requires that we keep
on hand this enormous store
of constantly curing leaf
Always $1,000,000 worth
Sometimes more.
But we know that it's a
"money's worth" $1,000,000
that guarantees every
OWL a fragrant OWL
Why don't you try an
OWL and see if you agree
with us? At most all the

Killed by Companions
la Friendly Battle
Oregon City, Or., Dec. 17. A story
of a friendly skirmish between throe
boys. . shooting loaded small rifles, re
sulting in the killing of Leslie Ledoux,
11 years old, yesterday was detailed to
authorities early today by three other
youngsters. The boys were hunting in
the woods, and upon Ledoux 's sugges
tion, they say, he, armed with a re
peating rifle, hid behind a stump to
stand two others off.
The fusillade " from behind stumps
anil logs continued until the non-participant
noted Ledoux 's injury. The
trio returned to their homes, saying
nothing of the affair until questioned.

CHRISTMAS IS THE TIME FOR CHEERFUL GIVING-BUT DON'T MAKE IT A
SEASON OF WASTE-BUY ONLY USEFUL PRESENTS
It would be a good plan for the whole family to combine in purchasing pres
ents instead of each individual purchasing a separate present for every other
member of the family.
By combining your funds you can present the Father or Brother with a
good suit of clothes or an overcoat which will be all the more appreciated be
cause it will be of actual service to him.
Men's Clothing is made either down to a price or up to a quality, and it
behooves you, particularly in this time of war prices and scarcity to be very
careful about choosing wearing apparel.
Buy Conservative Patterns that will look right for several seasons. Freak
ish styles are being discouraged by the Government.
BRANDEGEE KINCAID & CO'S
ALL WOOL CLOTHING is thoroughly tailored in one of the best equipped
factories in America. All materials used are of the highest standard.
This season may be your last opportunity to secure strictly all wool fabrics
as even the Government is specifying - one-fourth cotton in uniform cloth,
and urging mills to use part cotton and shoddy in all suitings for civilian use.
COMBINE YOUR FUNDS and buy mother or sister a pattern of our ALL
WOOL DRESS GOODS and SUITINGS. Agents of dress goods mills inform
us that even cotton mixed fabrics will cost from one-third to one-half more
for next Fall than all fool fabrics cost his season. Wool is scarce and this
may be your last opportunity to buy all wool goods at any price. The goods
we now offer were bought months ago. They are dependable and our prices
are much lower than they can ever be again until the sheep and wool produc
tion of the world is greatly increased.
Today you may select merchandise in every department of the store at
prices that will look very cheap six months from now.

SOCIALIST LEADER
(Continued, from page., one)
through the German scheme to work
through alleged socialists and' although
Russian delegates were appointed to'
the Stockholm meeting, none ever at
tended. Sclieidemann and other "social
isss" were in Stockholm from early in
August on through to September, off
and on, postponing the date of "peace
conferences" from week to week. The
'international socialist bureau finally
scented the German scheme to seek
peace of a German brand through pseu
do socialists and in a few conferences
which were held last September, did
not permit a general meeting of the
few - delegates there- The executive
committee of the bureau did hold sep
arate meetings with Dutch, German,
Scandinavian and other delegations.
Three men appeared claiming to rep
resent American socialists-
The Scheidemann scheme for a ge-i
eral ineetinir at which German social
ists would be in the majority fell
through.

Tokio, Dec. 17. Conditions in Rus
sia are becoming intolerable and Am
erican Ambassador Francis is advising
Americans to leave, according to Amer
icau refugees arriving here today.
Food supplies throughout Russia are
becoming so scarce "as to suggest an ap
proaching famine. Unrest and inter
necine strife has torn the nation. All
Americans who possibly can leave are
arranging to do so.
One hundred and sixty seven Ameri
cans are now awaiting passage out of
Petrograd by the trans-Siberian rail
way via Japan and China.
