To be sure, all are relieved at the
happy announcement of final peace, but
it is for us all to realize also the try
ing times which win ensue the terri
bic conflict, For this reason the women
who have proved so patriotic in the
past have resolved not TO plunge blind
~ and buy the luxuries that they had
eliminated from their wardrobe while
a state of war existed. So the styles
will remain just as predicted for the
winter season.
Probably one of the most important
outeomes of this world war is the es-
tablishment IN America of industries
and services which we had hitherto de-
pended entirely upon other countries
for. The one which interests my lady
most is the absolute independence of
America in the designing of and sue
cessful development of the prevalent
silhouette. When Paris decreed that
the skirts were to be short and narrow,
the American women frowned and OBJ
jected seriously to this proposed fash
ion; and then when Paris WASH look
ing, we deliberately heightened our
skirts to the ankle, and now we are
en- ioying one of the most favored modes
| that has ever appeared in the history
of costume design.
This accounts for the charming, dis
tinctive, truly American silhouette that
is in character long. narrow, and some

For young girls are the attractive
combination of squirrel and nutria.
This does not sound very pleasing, but
to see the perfectly adorable little set
that it was my privilege to see in one
of our very exclusive shops would
eradicate completely any dislike that
this description might tend to stimu-
late in the reader.
There are times in the midst of thc
winter season when one does not knew
just exactly what to wear. For such
times our designer has created these
two models which meet in every way
the requirements that are imposed. The
one which is developed in contrasting
materials is practical and still gives a
very dressy appearance.
The simple little thing which is belt
ed, offers variety in the yoke effect
back and front, the sides of which drop
| to the hip line and form flaps for the
pockets which hang below. These poe.

usual motif, soutaehe braid being used

satin and the two loose panels that
fell in the back were heavily embroid-
cred with jet. 4 small turban was worn
with this frock, and huge cape of

TO the costume.

well established in the esteem of Dame

A SHARP ADVANCE
IN PRICE OF HOGS
TOP STEERS BRING II CENTS
HOGS ADVANCE TO 1925 AND
SHEEP ARE FIRM

PORTLAND, Ore.-Very firm condi-
~tions prevail generally throughout the
market at the Portland Union stock
yards for the weeks opening market,
with especially active trading in the
common to medium classes of the cat
tie department. The shipment was
fair for the time of the year, the quail
ity was good, but, generally speaking,
showed a smaller percentage of top
stuff than was offered one week ago.
This perhaps was fortunate, as there
does not seem to be the active demand
for that type that has prevailed for
the past two weeks Killers COM
planned that the movement of dressed
beef on straight beef basis will not
warrant the high priced steer. Con-
sequently. the butcher market has
trouble to stay in the buying field at
those prices. The best steers in the |
yard, however, which were no better
than the best of week ago, changed |
hands at 1dc and we quote that class
as firm in price but rather slow in

1T ALWAYS HAPPENS

Now that the country is drained of hogs, and the
packing houses filled pork products made from
hogs bought at low price, the price has advanced
rapidly and further advances certain.
1t is strange coincidence that this happens every
year. The farmers dispose their hogs in the late fall
and early winter. Generally speaking the hog crop
has been marketed before the middle January,
rs per the years product of hogs reaches
markets in November December and January Those
the three months when prices lowest Those
the months the packers buy live hogs
them into hams, lard bacon and other pork products
Then the price of hogs is advanced and the prod
ucts made with the low priced pork is placed the
market at prices based the highest price paid for
hogs during the year. That is why
packing firm made s2OOOOOOO clear profit last year.
It happens every year and it will continue to happen
until tn government takes charge of the packing in
dustry.

for new arrivals, which have changed
hands as promptly as they came into
| the yards, at an advance of probably
from Is to 25c. Cattle quotations are
as follows: Medium to choice steers
1O.35-11.00; good to medium steers
9.35-10.35; common to good steers
! 8.00-p.40; choice cows and heifers

bulls, 5.00-8.00; calves, 7.5O-11.00;
stockers and feeders, 6.5O-9.5O
The hog market showed a sharp adj
vance of Is to 25c and the market ex-
hibited some splendidly finished hogs
from eastern Oregon and western Ida
ho, which lured the buyers up to a
new winter market record of 1925.
The general range of prices in the
hog alleys was as follows: Prime
light, 16.85-17.25; prime heavy, 1850
1890; pigs, 14.50-15-5O; bulk, 1880
100. The supply was not sufficient
to meet the demands and the reserve
lots of killers show a very light sup
ply of hogs at this writing.
Nothing new can be said in regard
to the sheep market. The buyers are
simply taking what is offered at the
following prices: Western lambs,

yearlings, 13.00-13.5O; wethers, 1880
1900; ewes, 9.OO-11 90. Both supply |
and demand are exhibiting a sort OF
