The only reason why cotton is substituted for
wool in mercerized fabrics is tc cheaper the
goods. A house is no stronger than its founda-
ton. So with clothes. Cheap fabrics mean
cheap clothes; and no matter how shrewdly they
are tailored, they will be untrustworthy. Stein
Bloch employ no mercerized or cotton adulter-
ated fabrics. Their goods are pure caustic-tested
wool, and the clothes made from them wear and

Oregon has the referendum Iawmak.

last general election in June Of this
year eleven propositions were submit
ted to the voters OF the state. The
vote for governor was 10000; the vote
on the proposed measures ranged from
$1,000 to $4,000. These figures show
that the people took an interest Ia the
questions submitted. That they dis
eliminated was also shown BY the fact
that three of the eleven measures We're
defeated and eight were carried.
