When we say "a memorandum
to every business woman" we do not
mean particularly those engaged in
business, but rather every woman
who has business judgment and
looks upon things in a matter of fact
way
We would like you to make a
memorandum of the fact that the re-
auctions of prices is our system of
cleaning up seasons business of
this magnitude. On individual pieces
of merchandise and indeed on the
stocks offered for sale as a whole,
the prices are less than we could buy
them for to-day, less than the prices
we ourselves paid for them probably,
but that is part of the system of
giving service at all times, of carry
ing large stocks and great varieties
and writing off July every season as
our month of cleaning up the sea-
sons business, by daily change of
prices on certain lines throughout
the store.
1t is, in other words, business
proposition, one offering remark
able opportunities to those who are
on the look out to take advantage of
them.
Among the many features will
be the clearance sale of
Women's Suits, Coats and Dresses
The clearance sale Of Summer Dress
Cotton and Remnants
The semi-annual sale of Hosiery and
Underwear
The clearance sale of Corsets and
Muslin Underwear
The sale of dropped patterns in Rugs,
Lin0leums, etc.
The July sale of Linens, Beddings
and COttons, Towels and Toweling
A sale worth your prompt atten-
ton in many ways, because of the
values offered and the fact that mer-
chandise is constantly going higher
in price, making it impossible for
sucn low prices to be equalled again
for long period to come.

Professor McCruder Talked
CcznDrehensiycy On League

The auditorium of the public library
was crowded to its limit last night
with people interested in the lecture
by Frank McGruder, of Corvallis, who
discussed in most thorough manner
the league Of nations and the problem
tht confronted it. In addition to an
outline of the activities fthe body
Mr. MeGruder went exhaustively into
the labyrinth Of political and industrial
changes brought about by the world
war. Following this he went on 20
demonstrate how impossible it would
be to readjust itself on stable political
and industrial basis through any other
means than by such league and the
ieompacts which it proposes to the
world. And he especially emphasized the
point that II was impossible for Amer
| lea to avoid her full share of respon.
sibility in old world reconstruction
and peace, since the nations are now so
closely and indissolubly associated
through commerce and communication
that discord at any point would lead
| TO trouble to every nation. He showed
that If America drew out of the move
ment at this time it leaves a group Of
small nations in position TO continue
in strife for decades to come Unless
the greater powers at this time are
willing to act with the "big brother
spirit toward the weak republics there
will be hornets nest in the Ole
world--a constant menace to the peae'
of civilization.

four ounces of plain, common liquid

you win need), apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the fin
ger tips.

either by auto or horse conveyance, is
the meeting of an auto with only one

danger, but perchance the light is on
the further side there is opportunity
for a serious collision, as the party

far side has no chance of knowing until
it is too late that he must keep further
away.
