THE FLORAL BOW IS
POPULAR NECKWEAR

The floral bow is one Of the latest nov-
elites in neckwear. It consists of a
small satin or velvet nosegay, with
streamers of long, soft green stems, fin
ished of at the end with tiny buds.
Bunches of green velvet foliage are
sometimes used as substitutes for the
ribbon bow, which has not been alto
gether discarded.
AS regards the actual collar, an inter-
esting revival is the colored detachable
neckband which was so popular two or
three years ago; but the present fashion
requires a fringe of the same colored
silk sewn to the lower edge OF the col
lar.
These neckbands sometimes fasten in
front with a pair of fancy links instead
of being invisibly closed at the side or
at the back. II is some time now since
frilling has been used. but IL is being re-
introduced as the tiniest possible lace
edging to these neckbands.
Probably some time will elapse before
it assumes-if 1t ever does-the extrava-
CANT proportions which are still remem-
bered, but as 1t is now being used 1t is
certainly becoming, as most complexions
are improved If something white is worn
at the neck.

a girl should strike the golden mean.
While she should not chase an eligible
gentleman down, neither should she take
to her heels at his approach. While she
should not persecute him into coming to
see her, there is no valid objection to her
giving him the glad hand when he does
come of his own volition. While she should
never, never look eager, there is no harm
in her appearing as one who could possi-
bly, be persuaded.
The nice girl, unless, as have said. she
is dealing with an egotlst, may let a man
see that he interests and entertains her,
that she admires his good qualities and
enjoys his society. but she should also
subtly indicate to him that she's not
bowled over by them. and does not con-
slider him the one prize package in the
matrimonial lottery. and II this challenge
doesn't make him come across with the
proposal, nothing else will.
Ninety-nine men Of a hundred will risk
their necks climbing up TO get the peach
that hangs highest on the tree rather
than open their mouths for the over-ripe
one that is ready to drop into them Of its
own accord.

AN OBSTACLE.

/ was climbing UP a mountain path
With many things TO do,
Important business Of my own
And other peoples, too,
When I ran agsiust a Prejudice
That quite cut on the view.
My work was such as could not wait.
Ny path quite clearly showed.
My strength and time were limited,
carried quite a load.
And there that huIking Prejudice
Sat all across the road.
So I spoke TO him politely.
For he was huge and high,
And begged that he would move q bit
And let me travel by.
He smiled, but as for moving!
He didn't even try.
And when reasoned quietly
With that colossal mule:
Ny time was short-no other path
The mountain winds were cool.
! argued like a Solomon
He sat there like a fool.
Then few into a passion,
I danced and howled and swore,
/ pelted and belabored him
TIL 1 was stIff and sore;
He got as mad as I did
But he sat there as before.
And then begged him on my knees
I might be kneeling still
II so I hoped to move that mass
OF obdurate i'll will
AS well invite the monument
To vacate Bunker Hill!
| So sat before him helpless,
In an ecstacy Of woe:
The mountain mists were rising fast,
The sun was sinking slow,
When a sudden inspiration came.
AS sudder winds do blow.
l took my hat, took my stick,
My load I settled fair,
/ approached that awful incubus
With an absent-mInded air
And I walked directly through him,
AS II he wasn't there!

BRIDES FASHIONS
ARE. PICTURESQUE

This springs brides are rejoicing over
the opportunity fashion has afforded
them of being picturesque. Among their
trousseau gowns several charmlngly fem
mime frocks may be included, which by
their very quaintness lend the impression
that the wearer has just stepped out Of
the frame of some old portrait Of the 1850
period.
This originality can be attained even
though the frocks, are fashioned at home
by a clever seamstress rather than at
one of the high-priced shops.
Taffeta will figure largely both as a
gown and suit material this spring, no
other material approaching II in popular
favor. The very fact that a gown is
made of this silk stamps 1t Immediately
as of this spring. A soft, lustrous quality
and only the better grade is used. for our
grandmothers assure us that 1t Is use

SOME LITTLE HINTS y.
ABOUT BUTToNHoLES

Even such simple things as buttons and
l'uttonholes require proper treatment to
insure neatness.
When buttoning or unbuttonins gar
Ineit forcing the buttons across the
width Of the hole will soon tear out the
latter.
For this reason buttons with only two
holes are better than those with four.
and should be placed so that their holes
will be on a line with the length Of the
buttonhole.
Some women place buttons with four
holes so that only two holes need be
sewed through-those on the opposite
corners-thus making them last longer
than IL all four were used.

SCHOOL BEGINS.

No matter what strife of tongues
and fists may separate one gang of
kidlets from another, there is one
point on which all can agree. That
is hatred of school,
And what wonder! Boy life today
does not have the compulsions of a
generation. The farm boy who had
to drive the COWS, milk them, rake
scatterings after the hay cart, and
stow the hay away under the caves,
was glad enough to see September
/ come. Sitting down in a cool and
quiet room with no farm hands to
prod his weary legs along was al.
most heaven.
The city or town boy of today has
few such compelling tasks. Through
summer he wanders free as bird
Confining him in a school house /!
about as difficult and popular al
catching a flock of swallows anC
caging them. 1t can be done, be
cause the dread figure of the truan
officer is potentially at the door, bu
you must expect the wings will flut
ter against the bars.

PRIMORDIAL INSTINCTS.

Speaking on battleships, Congress
man William Kent says that the lik-
ing to fight is a primordial instinct
that has been largely eliminated
from the surface of our civilization.
The so-called primordial instincts
of ours are great things and we guess
that Kent is right in. believing that
our surface has only been scratched
as to some of them.
Pretty early in his career man had
to fight for his food and life as a
regular business, and thus can be
explained his liking to fight and kill
things. But he has at least one
other primordial instinct which isn't
very far below the surface of our
civilization, and which is hard to ex-
plain; and that's his inclination to
gamble. 1t is mighty near all of us,
regardless of sex, color or condition
of servitude.
Maybe the first few families OF
our stone hammer ancestors saw
that fighting among themselves eX-
terminated folks and so resorted to
games of chance to determine the
possession of things. Anyhow, in
most things we undertake we are
fascinated by the risks involved,
while the popularity of actual gam
bling at penny ante, or bridge, OF
get-rich-quick stock is so universal
as to bear all the earmarks of a pri-
mordial instinct.
Newspaper publishers will tell YOU
that nothing takes so well as an ac-
count of bloody prize fight. They
could also shock you with a list OF
the suckers who fall before the
wiles of the fake promoter as show
ing the class of people willing tC
gamble with the odds all against
them:
Verify some of our fearful primor-
dial instincts are eliminated only
from the surface of our civilization
But let's keep on grubbing to get out
the very roots of evil bred into Il!
way back in the unknown past.

Express Companies Must Carry NJ
Liquor Into Dry Territory.

Portland, Ore.-Governor West
has announced that the next step in
his crusade against vice in Portland
and Oregon would be to arrange for
conference next week with officials
of express and railroad companies at
which he would issue a warning
against shipment by these companies
of liquor into dry territory.
The governor said he would pass
considerable portion of his time in
Portland for some days as he still
wished to give his personal attention
to the work of suppressing immoral
I.ity and crime.
He said that he had heard that
certain officials connected with the
city government here were intimi-
dating the police in their work of
arresting persons guilty of various
offenses. He said if he found these
reports substantiated he would pro-
ceed against the officials under a
law providing for punishment of Of
ficials guilty of malfeasance or neg
| ligence in office.

JUST SUPPOSIN'.

pose instead of being president, Taft
was fat, rolypoly boy with sun
burned calves, and Teddy was a big
Dutch boy with a sore toe, and
Stubbs had just got through pulling
cockleburs in the field, and Curtis
was taking his first lessons as a
jockey rider. And suppose the whole
bunch should come down the other
side of the street, barefooted and
wearing homemade trousers and
bedticking suspenders; and suppose
one of them should thrust two fin
gers in his mouth and emit a shrill
whistle, and another boy should hold
up two fingers and beckon to you
what would you do, hey?
l know. 1t would be the river fol
you-for all of you. You'd go tC
the old swimmin' hole and mud
crawl and splash water and dive ant
tread water, and you'd tie knots il
Louie's shirtsleeves and throw muC
on Jack Shea when he went to dress
and there would be fight or two
and you'd bust buttons and pull hal
and have a great time; and comm:
home you'd sneak into Samples or
chard and steal apples and mayb
swipe some watermelons And a
night you'd kneel down by you
mothers knee and say your NOV
lay me-" and after you wer
sound asleep your mother would g
into your room to see that you wer
not sleeping in a draught, and go ou
saying to herself, BLESS his littl
innocent soul"

his claims have been supported by

that half its readers really believe
that Oregon has efficient representa-
tion in the house and none in the

fact.

the past, wherein it was thought nee

WHAT WILLIAM SHOWS US.

A very fine lawyer, a gentleman
who has recently been mentioned in
connection with the Ohio governor
ship, writes us:
has done more to open the eyes of
the people to the folly of turning the
government over to lawyers and
judges than anything else which has
happened in a generation"
Yes, sir! From evil cometh good,
often, very often. We get those de-
licious lady finger" cakes from
ancient eggs, and from Bill Taft We
get a tremendous demonstration Of
just exactly the sort of man not to
make president. We sure owe it to
Bill to say that in this respect he
has done the country a service un-
equalled by predecessors in particu-
lar or collectively.
But our government is pretty
largely a government by courts, now,
and to follow logically our Ohio cor
respondent, it is bad thing to put
lawyers on the bench
Bad government by lawyers, good
government by laymen. This is
sound argument, rational deduction
And we may eventually get around
TO curing some of our government
ills by such a substitution, not will
consent of the lawyer, Ohioan ol
otherwise, however.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
BY Ralph KAYE.

Why should people buy goods of
your competitor? You know yours
are better, but do you tell people
WHY they are better in your adver-
tising? People nowadays look to the
advertisements for information on
the goods they want to buy and for
suggestions as to what to buy. This
saves them from calling only on
stores that carry the goods they
want.
When people turn to the advertise
ments for suggestions and ideas,
they are in a receptive mood. Their
minds are open. They want some
thing.
You practically have virgin field
that needs seeds of information. Are
these the seeds you plant? Do you
nourish them by sprinkling WHY'S
in your advertisements? Crops of
desire spring from such cultivation.
Your goods have a hundred reas-
ons WHY they should be purchased,
every one of which will gradually
strengthen desires aroused by the
ones before. Find out these reasons
and make them applicable to your
customers needs and desires.
The more people know of your
goods, the more they will appreciate
them-because they can and do ap-
ply them to their ideas and require
ments.
For instance, if you are in the
shoe business, have you ever figured
out why men should buy your shoes
If he is clerk, storekeeper or office
man, he wants shoe comfort, appear.
ance, wear easy to polish and not
too high priced. Can you think oi
anything else? Do you know il
your shoes possess these merits?
If he is a collector, superintend
ent or general outdoor man, ht
wants shoes that will stand har(
knocks in walking, waterproof, com
fortable-anything more? Have yol
shoes which measure up to thes,
standards?
If he is a professional man-doc
| tor, lawyer, etc.-he wants shoe
that are comfortable and of good ap
pearance, stylishs durable-wha
else? How many of your customer
are professional men?
D How about the youths-the 'swel
dressers' college boys and clu
men? They want style, first, las
and always-something real CLASSY
S Do they wear your shoes?
h And the youngsters-both sexes
that slide and kick everything. d
their parents know the strength an
. wearing qualities of your shoes?
s And the weaker sexI They wan
d shoes for wet weather and DIR
= weather. They want their feet
-. look small and neat They simpl
- must have comfort and style.
t Seeds like the above sprout int

You strike a sympathetic chor

. 1t is only by bringing this know

SINKING no A LOW LEVEL.

For a great newspaper, the Ore
gonian is often exceedingly small.
Its treatment of Senator Bourne is
fair example of the depths to which
it descends. For years it has mis-
represented, slandered and falsified
in order to belittle and discredit Ore
CONS senior senator. Even its news
dispatches are colored to suit its pol
lex, particularly its Washington cor
respondence. The following from
Saturdays Oregonian is an instance;
Washington, Aug 23.-As the
sundry civil bill was agreed upon in
congress today it appropriates $780,
600 for starting construction of the
government road in Crater Lake Ma
tional Park, laid last year by army
engineers. This is half the amount
provided by the original Chamberlain
amendment and it was only after
great difficulty that Representative
Hawley and Senator Chamberlain
were able to hold this amount in the
bill"
The Congressional Record shows
that Bourne's bill for 100000 ap-
preparation for Crater Lake was
twice stricken out by the house after
! having passed the senate. If Mr.
Hawley had had any influence, this
would not have been the case.
The record also shows that after
the civil sundry bill was returned a
second time from the house, an
amendment was inserted by Senator
Bourne calling for 100000 for Cra-
ter Lake. 1t again passed the senate
committee and was endorsed by the
senate conferees. The house con-
ferees again objected and tried to
eliminate the Bourne amendment,
but the senate stood pat and a COM
promise was reached with the house
|conferees whereby the appropriation
was cut to $4,000. In its amended
form the bill was accepted by both
houses.
There was no Chamberlain amend
ment, but the Oregonian, to belittle
Bourne, deliberately changes the rec
ord to make it appear that Senator
Chamberlain offered the amendment
Senator Chamberlain worked as
hard for Crater Lake as did Senator
Bourne, but it was mutually agreed
! for political reasons that Bourne
should introduce the original bill
and father the amendment, which he
did, yet the Oregonian never men
tions Bourne.
! Representative Hawley alsC
worked for the measure, but the fac
that he is totally without influence
was shown by the repeated defects
: of the measure in the house, ant

f entirely to Oregon's senator's
