and keep in stock nothing but the
cereals and rolled oats made in the
Portland mills, or wherever else they
may be manufactured in this state.
That is bringing the matter right
home to where you live, and If there
are any farmers in this room who
raise oats, 1t is their business to in
terest themselves in this and see that
the merchants interest themselves In
this and call for oats that are made
in Oregon from the grain that is
raised right here in oregon.
More Factories for Oregon.
That is only an illustration. 1t is
the same proposition in every depart
ment or industry. We need to get
behind our own factories and indus
tries in any way we can-get behind
these industries, and patronize the
men who are keeping the payrolls in
our state. We are holding out pro-
gram for more industries, and for a
bigger manufacturing interest in the
state of oregon.

beautiful young lady, with her
sleeves rolled up, and she looks
charming, and she is making bread
out of this Minneapolis flour. Every
body likes that picture, and Eastern
people like that -four, and the Min
neapolis people ship in carloads and
send smooth men around to talk tc
the grocer, and the grocer calls uT
on the telephone and talks very
smoothly to the housekeeper-"Le
