 J. D. Darden is again able to be on the streets after an illness of about five weeks.
 A horse trader from somewhere came along last week and gave some horses to some of our boys, at the same time relieving them of some of their good stock and surplus cash.

A store must make it pay you for reading its ads. If it did not, the cost of its, advertising would be thrown away. For if the ad pays you it pays tho store not otherwise.
Newport daily independent., 1911-03-09

A store's advertising will be ac- cepted as REPRESENTING THE STORE in size, in candor of statement, n frequency and per- sistency-whether it does or not, good enough to board at.

A fashion note says that belts,
gloves and neckties of rattle
snake skin will be worn a good
deal by women this winter. We
knew the poor rattlesnake would
come to it sooner or later. 1t
was about the only varmint left
that women did not wear. Think
of a woman going arrayed in a
silk-worm dress, seal skin shoes,
whalebone stays, kid gloves,
horse hide belt, tortoise shell
comb, fish scale trimmings. stuff
ed canary birds, clam shell but
tons, Spitz dog muff, camel hair
underwear, mink tail callarette,
alligator hide purse and now
rattlesnake necktie. Solomon in
all his glory wasn't such a men
agerie as one of these-and yet
we love them no matter what
they wear. -EX.

NO OVERPRODUCT|ON

Apple Growers Must Study Mar

That there is no danger Of over
production, but that there is danger
OF inefficient distribution . n tie ap-
pie business, is the ns.bls ohserya-
tion made by the editor OF the sTweD
tieth Century Farmer" For years
the cry has been going up that there
will soon be too many apples, and in
stances have been cited where poor
prices were obtained in the East In
order to prove that there was over
proIuclIon. Ike Su.tOr oI Lne 4 i"e4.-

rates, our lumber would readily nov

carloads of apples which President
Elliott predicts as the near future /
output OF the Pacific Northwest are
to be dumped into the large cities,
II that output is TO be charged with
