YOUNG WIVES SPEND MONEY
Portland Husbands Find Grocery

PORTLAND, May There are sew

are quite indignant and say they have

quent in recent days.
The husbands live in the same
neighborhood and the wives got into
trouble together. Just how their hus-
bands found out about it no one knows.
At any rate, one of the husbands no
ticed that his wife had plenty Of
spending money, much more than her
usual allowance. He also noticed that
an unusually large bill for groceries
was sent to the house at the months
end and when he asked about it, re-
ceived little satisfaction.
Then he began a quiet investigation
and discovered that the grocer had
agreed to act as banker, charging up
the amounts drawn by the wife against
her grocery bill. ~
Then he told the other husbands in
the neighborhood about it and they
learned that their wives had been fol-
lowing the same plan. Hence the in
dignation of the men of that particu-
lar vicinity.

"My little son. when about year

Then they began to come on his arms,
then on other parts of his body. and
then one came on his chest, worse than
the others. Then | called another physi-
clan. Still he grew worse. At the end
of about a year and a half of suffering
he grew so bad l had to tie his hands
in cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk. My
aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. So great was her faith
in it that she gave me small piece OF
Cuticura Soap to try and a little
Cuticura Ointment. l took it home
without any faith. but to please her
tried it, and it seemed to dry up the
sores a little. | sent to the drug store
and got a cake Of Cuticura Soap and
box of Cuticura Ointment and followed
the directions, and at the end of about
two months the sores were all well. he
has never had any sores of any KIND

Washington GROWERS DEMONSTRATE THAT
CAREFUL IRRIGATION PAYS IMMENSELY

1t is no uncommon thing now, in
certain irrigated districts of the state
of Washington, to see a five or 10 acre
farm bring a net income of from $4,000
to $4,000 per year, and, oftimes, far
more for their fortunate owners.
A newspaper in one of these hustl-
ing irrigated towns recently published
a photograph of a dozen or more of
the owners of these five and 10 acre
fruit farms seated in their autOmo-
biles-for the owner Of a five or 10
acre fruit farm is far more able to in
dulge not only in the ordinary neces-
stiles, but in the luxuries of life than
would be the owner of a bonanza farm
Of the east.
One irrigation enterprise in the
south central portion of the state on
the Columbia river has added $4,000
acres to the irrigated area of the state.
This alone will quickly support a
thriving population of $4,000 people,
and have powerful effect in stimu-
lating the growth of Seattle, Tacoma,
Spokane and other cities of the state.
Specific instances of unusual success
in fruit raising in the irrigated dis
trictS of the state are shown by the
experience of one man who realized a
net profit of 1919 an acre in 1906 from
his apples. These apples all went to
London and New York. Another irri-
cation farmer has % Winesap apple
trees, from which he sold 436 boxes of
apples from the crop of 1906. at 81 per
box. thus securing an income from
these % trees or less than One-fOurth
of an acre. of $69S. or an average of
$2493 per tree. This orchard, at the
rate of $50 trees to the acre. would
have produced $3.50 of fruit per acre.
Only a few years ago this same land
was purchased for $50 an acre.
Six years ago a farmer bought 25
acres of land for $40 an acre. Ten
acres of this land. short time ago
was sold to a citizen of Seattle for
$1,000.
Another fruitgrower realized $3.50
for six acres of apples.
