Not a Dead One.

The irrepl assible manager OF the
Fruit Growers Union is nothing If
not versatile. He has now turned his
attention to ad writing for the new
publication which he and his ener-
getic partner are getting ready to pub
lish. The words seem to dance with
energy and it is safe to say that one
who commences to read the announce
ment will not lay it down until the
last sentence is read. Below will be
found a sample of the prospectus of
"Better Fruit :"
sit will go to prosperous, live men
engaged in the business, that is, men
who are alive to their own interests
to deal with you.
We aren't running graveyard.
There are no dead ones connected with
this paper as publishers, subscribers
Oh advertisers-we don't want 'em.
An ad. will get you busin ess.
WhyP Because the circulation OF
= Better Fruit is concentrated on the
very class of men you want to reach.
= Advertising in Better Fruit is not
money wasted, but an active business
getter and profit puller. 1t is vitality
concerned with your particular bust
enss. To try it out will be no trial
but satisfaction. An ad. in Better
Fruit will make your business better.
Never before has the fruit business
felt the quickening impulse, the rush
of blood through i's veins as 1t does
today. Thousands of homeseekers are
coming west and engaging in the fruit
b lsiness. All our fruit growers are
progressive, more SO today than ever
before. They want the best of every
thing they use and need In your
line you've got it. Tell the growers
about it by an ad. in Better Fruit and
you will get their business. "

A new board of directors will he elect
ed and an amendment to the by laws
discussed providing for larger board
of directors.
Plans will also be discussed and
adopted as to the mode of doing busi-
ness for the coming season. 1t is the
purpose of the union to make an eff
fort'to adopt methods which will be
satisfactory TO everybody and grow ers
generally are invited to attend the
meeting whether they aIe members of
the union or not.
A report covering period of two
years will be read by E. II. Shepard,
manager of the Union and an explain
alton of the methods pursued will be
made. Suggestions in regard to thin
ming, handling and packing will be
offered and anything which 1t is
thought will be of assistance to the
growers will be cheerfully answered
by the union manager.
8 As this meeting will largely determine
the action of the union in marketing
the apple crop for 1906 it is urged that
every one who has a share of stock
be present.

horses ever get. These unbranded
ones will be divided among the men,
