More money is being brought into this
country from the sale of fruit this fall
than ever before. The sales will increase
from year to year as the young orchards
increase IN their bearing. Those who
have tried fruit raising in the right man
ner find 1t pays well and the acreage of
fruit throughout Eastern Oregon is being
largely increased. That Is what is wanted
in this country. 1t pays much better than
raising wheat.
Unless you write or have printed upon
your envelopes the number of days you
wish them held, the postmaster will here

as the government will stop printing ad
dresses thereon. Someone will now swear |
that the printers have been at work on |
this scheme, but 1t will be mistake.

ducked. On returning they were asked
what game they secured, to which they |
that each got "duck" apiece.
