roll with you and your fear OF rob-
bers prompts you to sew your bills
carefully in the lining OF your coat,
It is best to be careful where you

moments OF real alarm.
Edward Cane, middle-aged resi-
dent of Great Falls, Mont, who came
here Tuesday to claim bride, had
the fright OF his life when he forgot
no had eight hundred dollars sewed
in the lining OF his coat sleeve anu
sent the coat to the cleaners. When
his memory recalled the hiding place
of the money, he was in the MIDST

his clothes before he was on MS way

A PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR
AMERICAN WOOLGROWER IS
PREDICTED BY STANFIEIO
PRESIDENT OF OREGON ASSO-
CIATION SEES RESULTS
FROM WAR

Prediction Of a prosperous year fol
the American woolgrower because OF
the embargo placed on the woods OF
the English colonies and because OF
the short supply in this country, dis
cussion of the effects of the European
war upon the sheep industry. a warn
ing TO the woolgrowers 10 look 10
their breeding and upkeep Of their
flocks, advice to them relative TO the
proper marketing Of mutton lambs
and an appeal to them to support
the association were some of the
matters contained in the report of
r. n. Stanfield president Of the ore
gon Woolgrowers' association, at the
opening session OF its 18th annual
convention this morning.
President stanfield, himself one Of
the largest woolgrowers in the west
in his address showed a keen insight
into the industry and his remarks
were listened TO with profound inter
est by the sheepmen assembled. He
said in part:
There are today matters of more
grave importance to the permanency
of our industry than that of the pro-
tective tariff; 1t is the matter Of
breeding and upkeeping Of our flocks.
The wool clip OF our state in the past
two years has decreased between 10
and 20 per cent. Our fIocks show a
similar decrease in numbers and an
other years wool clip will show
much greater decrease than the past
years over the year preceding. / am
making this statement, not wholly
from statistical reports. but partially
from personal observation.
With the unfavorable outlook for
wool you have most all turned your
attention to the raising OF mutton
lambs, and during the past summer
these crossbred lambs have, for the
most part passed from our state to
the eastern markets. Thus instead Of
the lambs being held over and shorn
as yearlings as was the method of by
gone years. we have retained only
the parent stock and their fleeces will
constitute our next years clip.
The WOOL growers Of the entire
northwest have long looked to oregon
as the producer of the fundation OF
their flocks. In Wyoming, Montana
and every state you might visit in the
Pacific northwest you would likely
hear remarks that the breeding ewes
came from Oregon. Another year
when they come to oregon to buy this
foundation stock where will they find
them? Not only Is II where are 9TH
er states to find their breeding ewes,
but what will We do for our own
breeding stock?
We have among us some members
that are far sighted and are retain
ing their breeding stocks, and I be-
lieve that they will receive a magnif-
lcent reward, for they will undoubted-
ly be able to name their own prices
for the right kind of breeding sheep,
In the past year the Oregon breed
ers have made a wonderful advance
nent as to producing mutton lamb.
In fact we have advanced so rapidly
that fear we have lost sight of many
of the salient points for securing the.

A NEW STEP
By HELEN STARR.

TIME present day gavotte differs
greatly from the original. Kiss
j ing and merrymaking were no
small part of the first peas
ant gavotte as It was danced by that
class of French people who lived in the
upper hills Of Dauphine and were known
as the "Gavots." Instead of shuffIing
the feet, as in older dances, they made
the gavotte distinctive by raising the
feet clear OF the ground
Courtiers and noble ladies adopted
the dance in the Sixteenth Century and
made II quite as formal as the min
uet And now we have the Paviowa
garotte, performed with a willowly
grace, quite in contrast to the tense
and fiery steps of the late Spanish
dances. Anne Herndon, a protege of
PavIowa, and her partner. Ainslee Lam
bert, illustrate one of the steps in this
newest gavotte.
Fdylowa herself says there are six
moods revealed by modern dancing.
Here they are: first, joy and uncon-
fined gayety; second, languorous dances
of luxurious contentment; third, the
