When we were assured that every

was grown right here at home we at
once conjured with visions of what
could be done on five acres of land we
have over in the Cascade Orchards.

no fairy tale. some of our people make

A TRIBUTE TO HOME PRODUCTS.
A Dinner where All Hut the Sugar
and Coffee Was Home Grown.

Not long since it was the writer's
privilege to take dinner with friend
in this town. Nothing extraordinary
in this, OF course. 1t was tempting
fine dinner, such one as is calculated
to put man with gastronomic tenden-
cies in good humor with all mankind.
The cooking was OF the kind that
stamps the good housewife who SUPER
intended the process as most accom-
plished culinary artist.
If the reader will permits depression
we will say in this connection that some
women, AT least one woman, resents any
praise of her kitchen accomplishments,
saying, Eyes. that's all you think I'm
good for"
But to get back to the subject of that
dinner. We do not purpose to make
the lady blush in public by telling her
name. That is secret. But it was a
fine dinner, and no mistake.
Now we come to the point which
ought to be of genera interest to the
people who are so fortunate as TO live
ia this valley-and twice fortunate If
they own a bit OF land here.
At this particular dinner to which
we have taken the liberty to refer,
every article of food was grogn. raised
and produced right here. almost 10 the

and coffee. We do not mean that IL was
assembled here, but that it was pro-
duced on the ranch belonging to the
host. Some eight or nine varieties oil

celery as crisp and tender as eyer wa
