That is one of the smartest
things that was ever uttered.
If you do net advertise IN the
SUMMER you do not push the
ball at ALT will stop. II you do
not advertise ~ tae busy season,
business will go on for a certain
time at a slow rate Of speed. But
il you want to get over good deal
of ground in short time, you had
better push it along Lively.
The best thing to push it with
10 good liberal advertising in the
best paper you know Of. A pecul-
lar thing about the ro.~ to business
success Is that il runs uphill--if
you stop pushing your ball it will
roll down.
There is no such thing as stand
hg still.

OREGON BUCKS
To COLORADO
Cunningham Will Ship 1000
to Denver, Where He Will
Open Sale Pens,

That the call of Colorado sheepmen
for a higher grade of bucks may be
answered, Charles Cunningham, the
well known sheepman, will soon ship
1000 head of choice Rambouillets
from his Umatilla county ranches TO
Denver. where he will open sale pens
this spring.
While attending the sessions of the
National Livestock convention In
Denver, Mr.. Cunningham found that
Colorado sheepmen were making
every effort to improve their herds
by the introduction of a higher class
of bucks, and that they are unsuc-
cessful largely, because of the search
ty of bucks on the markets of that
state. He decided to open a sale
pen in the Colorado metropolis, and
will make the first shipment of 1000
choice young rams, early this spring.
1.-The grade of Colorado sheep has
been greatly improved in the past
few years." said Mr.. Cunningham,
and while the flocks are being reduce
ed In the number owned by individ-
ual sheepmen, the class OF sheep now
being produced is far In advance Of
the Colorado sheep Of five years ago"
