Is drawing big crowds. We mean just what
we say when we say cut prices. We cut them
and cut deep. This big sale only lasts two
days, Friday and Saturday. Embroideries,
laces, white waists, skirts, petticoats, sum-
mer lawns and everything in the house
must be moved. The prices we are making
is doing it. You will have to hurry if you
want to get the best values.

The Swine and the Flower
Oh rne! I saw a huge and loathsome sty,
Wherein a drove of wallowing swine were barred,
Whose banquet shocked the nostril and the eye; ^
Then spoke a voice, "Behoid the source of LARD!
I fled, and saw a field that seemed at first
One glistening mass of roses pure and white,
With dewy buds 'mid dark green foiiage nursed;
And as I lingered o'er the lovely sight,
The summer breeze that cooled that Southern scene,
Whispered, "Behold the source of COTTOLENE!"
Nature's Gift from the Sunny South
COTTOLENE is a pnre and wholesome frying and shortening
medium, made from refined cottonseed oil. There is not an ounce
of hog fat in it to make food unwholesome, greasy and indigestible.
As evidence of its superiority, COTTOLENE received Grand
Prize (highest possible award) at the Louisiana Purchase Exposi-
tion; and Gold Medals (also representing highest awards !n each
case) at the Charleston Exposition, the Paris Exposition, and tho
Chicago World's Fair. In fact, in every case wherever COTTOLENE
has been exhibited in competition with other cooking fats, it has
invariably been granted the highest award.

peed bees on alfalfa
(International News Service.)
Spokane, Wash., July 30.—Jesse ^ ■
Thornton, the honey king of the Yakima
valley, west of Spokane, who has 30u
colonies of bees, each of which he ^ays
will produce 50 pounds of comb honey,
declares that tho outlook as that thu
yield will be the largest in the history
of the valley. It Is expected to ship 10
cars of 3,000,000 pounds from the valley
this year to eastern and Pacific coast
markets.
The bees are fed on alfalfa, which is
now in bloom, and they are thriving.
Expert apiarists say that alfalfa is the
ideal feed for bee® and in this the Ya-
kima valley excells any other part of
eastern Washington. While yet in i^j
infancy, the honey industry has made
rapid progress In the last few years,
and there Is every reason to believe
it will grow until It becomes one of fho
foremost, next to fruit, in the valley
and in fact throughout eastern Washing-
ton.

FINDS LONG LOST BROTHER
(International New Service.)
Hpokane, Wash., July 30.—Royal
Raymond, living near Madison, Wis.,
found his brother, H. J. Raymond,
given up for dead years ago. at Spra-
gue, Wash., after causing Tils arrest
under the impression he was an im-
poster. Royal received a letter rrorn
H. J. Raymond several week* ago, ask
ing for financial assistance. He looked
upon the letter with suspicion and his*
conclusion was that the man at Spra-
grue had gained some knowledge of the
Raymond family, through the long
lost brother, who was believea to have
been killed by his partner on the way
north from California, where they
were in 1895. When Royal reached
Sprague he obtained a John Doe war-
rant in Justice Bttelson'a court oj
tho charge of procuring money under
false pretenses. A detective arrested
Doe on the McMelville farm, wnere
he was working. Doe asked permis-
sion to shave before appearing? for
trial, and when this was done Royal
recognized the man as his brother.
The matter was explained to tne court
and the proceedings were quashed and
the two brothers started for the old
home in Wisconsin.

j 1st and matalluigist of Spokane, de-
clares to be equal ir quality to any
' brand now on tho mfcrket. saying al-
i so after the final analysis that the
' supply is practically Inexhaustible
■ The cement beds were discovered
after a landslide, which denuded the
j native of of soil and vcgatatlon. Mr.

Od himself to bo

masses, and
"\\ hereas, his duplicity in connection
with the graduated land tax bill, the
usury bill, the telegraphers bill, ties cM;d
labor bill, the eight hour bill, tho fu'd-
crew bill, and his opposition aa well as
underhanded work to practically all legis-
lation proposed in behalf of tlic agricul-
tural and la-boring masses, shows con-
clusively that he was a representative of
corporations, and
