The weather so far this season has
been COOL in fact, almost too cool.
Just how to account for this no one
can find out. Some say the earth has
slipped cog and consequently we
are being whirled northward at a
fearful rate or words to that effect
but you just wait fifteen or twenty
days longer.
And then, or thereabout, the month
of August will be due,
And the wicked get a warning taste
OF what they're going to.
The Pacific Homestead says that il
has been shown that many gardeners
in the suburbs of Chicago each make
more ready money on a city block
than the average farmer on 100

most anywhere. Grants Pass has
these within reaching distance, both
north and south, with direct rail
road transportation With irriga-
tion we can furnish in season car
loads daily each way.

IN ANSWER TO PRAYER

The people of many sections, head
ed by the preachers, have been pray
Ing for rain of late and It seems
from newspaper reports that their
prayers were answered by abundant
showers. Last Sunday, in particular,
there was praying in Oregon and es-
pecially In Portland, and on Monday
the rain fell in torrents. Rain fell
also In Grants Pass, but there was
no general praying for It, therefore
1t must have been an overflow which
fell on the just and the unjust alike
