Thousands of boxes of berries in sight
all sizes from blossoms to ripe berries.
In flavor and size the berries are
unequalled. The patch is on the ranch

les all went to the recorder to
get the licenses. The girls ask

the bills. We hope none of the

guilty of such acts. A man that
waits for a girl to ask him to
wed, ten to one, will let her make
