Diversified Industry Key
note to Prosperity In
Vineland

(Clarkston Bureau Evening Teller)
CHARLESTON, Sept. 17.--It is no ex-
aggeration to say that nowhere in the
Northwest can one find a more inyit-
ing and prosperous community than
Charleston and Vineland. A drive
through this continual orchard, as it
were, shows evidence of thrift and an
air of prosperity is seen on every hand.
The residents of this favored place
have learned the value of diversity,
and are not carrying all their eggs In
one basket They have varied source
of revenue and in that they are fortu-
nate
The fertility of their lands, the var
led possibilities of the soil and the
mildness of the climate have made
Charleston and Vineland the mecca for
those in search of a place for a pleas
ant home and at the same time make
an Independent income
There is hardly a day that goes by
but someone does not visit the town
to look it over, and the universal ex-
preston of those who come and see is
one of praise.
This season has no doubt witnessed
the production of a greater variety Of
crops than any previous year. 1t is
no mistake to say that the future will
see still greater and more varied
crops grown.
The growers have not yet fully
learned the possibilities of the land
and when they do Charleston and Vine
land will be still more prosperous.
An investigation of a number of
