friends to make a donation and send

Hoping your a great success, I

"Prayerfully yours,
MRS. F. A."
Bless your dear heart, sister.
That's the kind of letters we are
looking for, and wishing for, just
now. We like to hear from the shut
ms, and we are going to have this
sale of things for their benefit, but
We have about one hundred and fifty
isolated shut-ins now on our list look
ing to us for some little sunshine
in their so darkened lives, and we
have had so comparatively few let
ters as yet like this of Mrs. A. They
are coming, of course, and you are
going to write one yourself some
time; but in the mean time old Faith
er Time is leaping and raising his old
auto along at top speed and the Fair
will be upon us before we are half
ready for it, so please do hurry up
and write and send and help what
you can right away-Quick.
Indeed, dear Sister A, you can ask
your friends and neighbors to donate,
and please do; and not only Mrs. A,
but you who are reading this now, "Go
thou and do likewise" if you want the
Sunshine booth a success, and to help
our poor shut-ins, you must get a
hustle on yourself and do what you
can. Many of those on our shut-in
list are in our own State, and Sun
shine always shines at home first; so
all Sunshine PASSED on goes to those
in our own State first; but we are
going to sell the work of all shut-ins
who send and help them all we can
that way.
Now please, Sunshiners, don't for
get that we also have to have little
money to make that booth-nails,
boards, and some little drapings in
our Sunshine colors (yellow and
white), so in asking your friends to
donate, or in donating yourself, if
you're man or can't do other things,
send in a donation no matter how
small to meet this expense. You
may not all be able to send exhibits
to the Fair proper, but there's not
one of you that can't be represented
in and help to make our State Sun
shine booth and the Fair success
Write your name and address on ev-
erything sent; also the price at which
it is to be sold. I know you take

highest prices to be realized. Tho
Union also supplies its members at

of these supplies is by contract to the

carried on with the same skill and

one OF our greatest industries. But
with no union to educate the growers
in the proper varieties to plant, the
adaptation Of soils, cultivation, prun.
ing, spraying, picking, grading and
packing, and to market the fruit in
quantities, the industry will be slow

car loads will bo shipped from jose

contains the largest vineyard in Orc

orchards that are of large acreage.
With irrigation made possible by the
great pumping plants and by the great
system of bitches that are being
put in, there will bo thousands
of acres Of land set to fruit trees
and to grape vines, and then with n
union to bring cooperation to the
growers the fruit business will be
placed on sure and profitable basis
