Portland Buyers
August 7-l2

Buyers Week at Portland is
scheduled for August Z to IL this
year. It is an event that is regarded
as of unusual Importance to the bus
mess men of the northwest, and for
the fourth annual event has won the
voluntary endorsement of the presi-
dent of the Oregon Retail Merchants
Association. President G.. C. Barlow
has sent out a letter to every mem
ber of that organization, urging his
attendance on Buyers Week. He
points out that the occasion is one
that is of equal value with the annual
meetings of the association.
At meetings of the association the
members listen to papers and discus
sions on merchandising. During
Buyers Week they see these theories
in practice.
1t is great big cooperative plan
that fits the needs of both elements
the up state retailer and the Port
land jobber and manufacturer. The
program, however, is not all devoted
to the serious business of merchan-
dising. Noon and evening hours are
crowded full Of entertaining features.
For this year the list will offer many
new features for the amusement Of
buyers and their families. Reliance

Will Secure Lower
Insurance Rates

a new policy adopted by the city
of installing four-inch fire mains in
place of two-inch mains throughout
all but the outskirts of the city was
embodied in a resolution passed by
the council Tuesday night, which will
secure a reduction in insurance rates
from the 60-cent to the Accent rate
and will mean the saving of thou
sands of dollars to the property own
ers of Ashland. The reduction comes
as the result of taking up the mat
ter Of the city's unusual fire protec-
ton directly with Secretary McCune
Of the state board of fire underwrit-
ers, this being suggestion of G.. F.
Billings. Ashland has exceptionally
heavy water pressure and but a few
changes in pipe and the addition of
500 feet Of hose were necessary to
meet the conditions and gain the re-
ductions. On a recent visit to Ash
land Mr.. McCune proclaimed Ashland
to stand at the top among the Pacific
coast cities in the matter of fire pro-
lection.

of good things was over at the
Grants Pass home, an auto came in
sight, and there was hurry and furry
to get hats on by the bridal pair,
while rice came in torrents upon
them as they hit only the high places
in reaching the car, which carried
them to Rogue River in order to
board the train for Ashland, in a spot
where old shoes would not appear on
baggage and rice would not come in
showers.
Mrs. Lynch and members of the
Epworth League had planned a sur

took place last evening at the Lynch
home on Liberty street. The newly
weds were indeed surprised when at
8 O'Clock the jolly group came, head
ed by Miss Hathaway and the pastors
or the Presbyterian and Methodist
churches, who had been with the
Crater Lake group of young people
two years ago in jolly outing, which
group included the present bride.
The greatest surprise to the couple
was how the two sisters of the bride
happened to be with the league COM
pany last evening, when they left
them at home in the Pass Justify
throwing rice. They had gotten on
the same train which carried the
welded couple, but had kept out of
sight
The gathering last evening was
such happy event that it will not
be forgotten Rare delicacies we're
served by Mr.. and Mrs, Lynch, and
the lively group departed for home
about the eleventh hour.

tress, who has won fame in siren

Paramount picture, Audrey"
Audrey" is distinctly different
from any character which Miss Fred
erick has ever played on the screen
before, and it is interesting to note
that the star herself has declared it
to be the one which she has most
enjoyed playing. Unlike "Zaza,"
Bella Donna" and Donna Roma in
"The Eternal City," Audrey is a sim
pie, unsophisticated girl of the
woods who has been rescued from
the Indians when child, made the
household drudge of a hypocritical
minister and his wife, and is finally
nearly drowned by an angry mob that
believes her to be in the power of
witch. The eventual DEVELOPMENTS
of the play make it of the greatest
interest.

itude he provides her with books on
self-improvement. They part, little
knowing how much they mean to
each other. The circumstances under
which they meet later are unique in
the annals of motion picture situa-
tions, but are full of human interest
quality that provokes tears and

Cold weather is hard on the sweet
potatoes, says Professor D. E. Lewis
Of the Kansas State Agricultural COL
lege, and they should not be left in the
ground much after the first frost. If
the vines were cut before the frost,
however, many Of the underground
roots may yet be saved. They should
Immediately be dug and placed in some

must be kept in mind-a temperature
Of about IS degrees and ample ~ventila-
ton are necessary.
During this time the potato is sweat
ing. Unless the superduous moisture
is carried off, the potato will not keep.
A high temperature carries it through
its sweating process more quickly than
a low one. The sweet potatoes are
placed either in bins or in crates. The
latter method demands more room
than the former, but is more satisfac-
tory because of its superior ventilation.
A sweet potato bin should be raised
six or eight inches from the ground.
The bottom, and often the sides, should
be of Stats. Some growers prefer solid
sides, claiming they produce a better
draft. Potatoes should be piled
high in a bin because Of danger Of
bruising the lower roots with the ex-
cessive weight.
After the sweating period has pass
ed, the temperature should be allowed
to drop to 60 degrees-never below IS
degrees. Hold it there throughout the
winter by mean Of fires. A lower
temperature brings about rotting and
a higher one starts growth.
Care should be taken to select only
sound potatoes for storage, and from
the time that they are put in until they
are taken out they should not be han
