IN BRIGHT COLORS.

Lloyd Georges advice to Englishmen not to grow too
optimistic is also good advice for the balance of the allies
and especially for Americans While the news from the
front is highly encouraging and shows continued
SeS for the allies must remember that the Germans
are not the only who get their more or less

and that this being done in the reports from the western
front easily when calm examination of that news
made For instance the correspondents have given Am
ercanS the impression that the retreat of the Germans
both on the Marne and in Pcardy were almost a rOut
That this mistake is easily seen They pointed out
that back OF the German lines streams of returning SOL
ders were see the movement being almost in the nature
OF a rOut Now curSOry examination of the story of
both battles shows that there has been little in the way of
dlsordery retreat Apparently Ludendorff having felt
out the front on the Mane and found how strong the Am
ecaS were there that his safety lay in getting out
OF that pocket The story of the withdrawal shows that
1t was made in mastery manner and with no greater
losses than natural to the movement There was
strong rear-guard fighting all the way back While the
Germans were taken by surprise in Picardy is evident
they too were intending to withdraw only the British at

interest General CrOwder in work for

3: THE WIFE ::
By JANE PHELPS

, always handling new and exquisite
things-to have some room to deorate
in a different way, day after day
, some house of different architecture
to consider and''-
Come, dear, - her aunt interrupted.
This was not what she had hoped to
do. And she did not like to see Ruth
so enthusiastic over an occupation that
took women from their homes. She
had all the old-time southerner s dis
like for women doing anything that
brought her into the life of the great
public. Home was made for women,
and women for hOmekeepers, was one
of her theories.
Ruth talked often of what she had
seen in New York, but beyond that,
she was not impressed. She thought
the few young men she had >met,
vapid and silly. She had not seen
one as handsome as Brian. Her aunt
had given her carte-blanche in buy
ing, and had made no attempt to di-
rect her purchases. The result was,
that Ruth had taken home trunk
full of new clothes. Dainty expensive
negligees, fit only for her boudoir.
Soft lace and silk underwear which
Mrs. Clayborne s laundress, with years
of experience in doing such things,
washed carefully between her hands;
and one or two street gowns which,
while plain, were of the finest material,
the most fashionable cut. Things very
out of place, all of them, for the wife
of a poor man.
AN UNVOICED PREDICTION.
1t was like Mrs. Clayborne to allow
Ruth to do as she pleased about her
clothes. She would not serimp the
child, nor meddle in any way with
what she spent. She had not, since
Ruth was eighteen, and she had given
her permission to buy what she
pleased. Up to the last minute, she
would pamper and indulge her, Then,
if they did not get along, her child,
as she always thought of Ruth, would
from her kindly; she would even treat
Brian well. But if they married, she
would absolutely eliminate herself,
her support.
If Mrs. Clayborne hoped they would
not get along; if she really thought
by doing this she would hasten the
time when Ruth would return to her,
she gave it no expression, not even
to old Rachel, who bemoaned her young
mistress leaving.
"Dis house II be lax the grave when
she is done gone," she walled, "Wid
out no young thing lax her in it."
"There, Rachel! you must not go
IN So 1t is natural fol young folks
TO marry, and Miss Ruth will come

A TRIP TO NEW YORK.


Ruth Madden was not a beautiful
girl, as many consider beauty; her
features were too irregular She was
tall and graceful, with reddish hair
brian called it Titian) and a face
sparkling with Intelligence and anima-
tiOn.
While Ruth's education had been
almost entirely conducted at home,
she was better equipped than most
girls. She spoke French and Italian
fluently, was thoroly conversant with
the history and literature of her own
country as well as of other countries,
and was almost an authority on the
textiles and decorations used in fam
Gus buildings, as well as the architect
ure of different periods-a different
education, perhaps, than that given
most girls, yet practical one in many
ways.
Ruth also rode and danced, she drove
her own car, and could, if necessary,
put on tire. But she knew absolutely
nothing of hOusework, and less than
hOtHlHS OF economy.
cit would have been better if l
had sent her to boarding school, per-
haps, her aunt said to herself in the
days after Ruth had promised to mar
ry Brian. 'She might have seen
other attractive young men, and then
not been so easily won by Brian
Thinking, perhaps, that it was NOT
too late, even yet, Mrs. Clayborne
planned trip to New York, pretend
ing that business called her. Ruth was
delighted with the big town and all
she saw, but Mrs. Ulayborne, because
of her long absence, had lost track
Of most of her old friends, and found
very little chance to introduce Ruth
to anyone who would take her thoughts
from Brian. She did impress upon
Ruth, however,, the need of money
in city. She purposely took her to
the most expensive places, then, by
contrast, to the cheaper ones, But
Ruth's ideas regarding money were
peculiar to her up-bringing, and these |
things her aunt did, hoping to i'm
press her, were of little value.
THE CHIEF ATTRACTION.

TWO HUNDRED MILLION HORSE POWER.

1t is estimated that the water power already develop
ed in the United States amounts 100000 horse power
This seems like tremendous power but it is trife COM
pared to what the country possesses and easily make
available 1t is stated by government authorities that
there opportunities for developing horse power to
the amount of 81 100000 and this without storage With
storage the horse power possible would be above 100000
OOO Of the 81 $4,000 available without storage the
western states credited with 4049000 horse power
while all the other states Jumped at 17678OOO 1t will
be from this that the west has more than two and
half times the water power of all the balance of the states
Oregon it is believed leads all the other states in this re-
spec and this because of the high mountain ranges and
the high plateau which many of her rivers flow yet
reaching practically to level before leaving the state
Of these the Columbia with its tremendous volume offers
unlimited possibilities in the way of power and the Des
chues John Day. and other streams of eastern Oregon
are ideal for deriving power FROM The willamette, Nc
Kenzie Santiam, Rogue, Umpqua and dozens of other
large streams with their high in the Cascade
mountains might furnish power for all the machinery and
factories that will be established west of the Cascades
for years to come making ideal conditions for all kinds
OF manufacture with the cheapest power in the world
Conditions in Washington similar and those in
Idaho and Montana Some time these favorable condi-
tons will turn the tide of manufacture from the over
crowded east and bring part of that congested popua
ton to the coast That is the thing that handicaps
manufacturing the coast the scarcity of labor The
tremendous demand for fuel in the east demand that
can scarcely longer be met will force this change of manu-
featuring CENTER though it will take time for this to be
realized The time is coming when the Willamette valley
will be as densey populated Massachusetts and the bal
ance OF the oecr0Wded states of the far east One of the
great industries then will be the manufacture of linens
and when this started western Oregon will come
into her own Congress has under consideration a bill
making water powers available for private capital and it
is claimed this bill will pass without much opposition Cir
cumsances especially those arising since the war; the
main one being shortage of fuel has caused sudden
change of sentiment as to Clifford Pnchozing the water
power for congress awakening to the fact that the only
way to conserve water power is to use it, 1t is learning
that the water that has passed the mill will not turn its
wheels 1t will be long step toward the development of
the state once some reasonable law concerning the use
of the water now running to waste is made.

Lenine and Trotsy it umored have fled from Mos
COW to Kronstadt This strong fortress twenty miles
west of Perograd 1t is also stated the power of the
bolshevi is rapidly crumbling While these are both
rumors there plenty Of solid fact behind them for if
Lenine and Trotsy have not fled it is only question of
very short time until they will do 1t is noted that
they fled toward their friends the Pssians and if af
fairs grow worse will doubt return to Germany where
their good work for the kaiser should cause them to get
warm welcome. Still with the kaisers well known in
gratitude they may get into prison instead for not doing
better.

Of today know Just what 70 do in
cases Of this kind. They know that a
few weeks use OF Phosphated Iron
rarely fails TO strengthen. stimulate
and feed the Phosphate-hungry nerve

Phosphated Iron certainly does take
hold. The way the majority OF pa
tients come back is remarkable. You

STEADY. strong and peaceful
What a change in appearance, too.
The cheeks become filled out and
flushed with the healthy rudy glow
that only pure. red, ironized blood

the spring and swing Of youth and
their whole system seems 20 be alive

you will give it a chance. DO not
