MILFORD BUILDING LOAN PROSPEROUS

For more than a third of a century
the Building Loan Association of Mil
ford has been very prosperous cor
poration. and it has done much to de-
velop the town and surrounding country,
by making it possible for men without
capital. but with business ability, to
secure homes for themselves and family
as well as to increase the property
value of the town. Like other business
enterprises the building loan has periods
when money is in plenty supply, and
there are other times when the demand
for money is more than the supply but
the directors have always taken care
of the people by arranging to accommo-
date the demand, and this has made the
Milford loan soil.

illness. but that he may call to the at. az.
tention of some Of the patrons tnat
they are thoughtless IN interfering
with the operation Of the ditch. re
Gently a small quantity Of water was !
turned into the ditch for the benent OF
orchardists who were spraying. some
one diverted the flow and used II en-
tirely. As result a number OF spray
ers and their crews were stopped from
work for more than half day whiie
the superintendent was found.
II any one wants water turned OH OF
on, the superintendent says he shoulo
be notified and the work will receive
immediate attention. The ditch mas
been materially improved this spring
and water will be available for all pat
rons for all ranching purposes.

WHY SHOULDN'T We
EAT APPLES IN PUBLIC
tFrom Cashmere BuIIetin.l

The Portland Ad Club recently passed
the following resolution, a copy OF
which was sent to each ad club IN the
United States, with the request that 1t
concur in the resolution:
Whereas, it is good on all occa-
sions, therefore be it
Resolved, that the Portland Ad
Club, other clubs concurrng, hereby
amends the social code to permit of the
eating Of apples in public at any time
or place.
Why shouldn't a person eat an apple
when he thinks it would taste good?
He smokes when he thinks a cigar
would taste good and gives one to his
friend. Why should he be squeamish
about biting into a blushing, oderifer-
Gus bunch of goodness called an apple?
The gallery god takes his sack of pea
nuts with him to eat dnring the play.
Did you ever see one take an apple?
Why not? Is not an apple as good as a
peanut? James and Marjorie sit on the
park bench and dip their hands into the
same bag of popcorn. Did anyone ever
see them courting between bites of an
apple? Why not? Does fresh buttered
popcorn feed loves young dream bet
ter than apples?
Even in Cashmere where the best
apples in the world are grown, you sell
dom see an apple eaten. You may see
apples, dazzling arrays of them, in the
real estate Offices and a few sometimes
in stores, but whoever saw Cashmer-
ite actually eating an apple on the
street? Of course we eat our apples,
we can't help it i; but we eat them be
hind closed doors, surreptitiously, as il
were, as if they were ashamed of the
appetite. To eat some apples is dis
grace, we grant, but to eat Cashmere
apple at any time or in any place is al
act of merit.
We want the whole United State!
to eat apples; to eat them in seasoi
and out of season to eat them in pub
lie and in private and to eat lots O
them. The Portland Ad club's resolu
tion is all right. Let the Cashmer
people set the fashion. If it were goot
form lots of US would keep our sid
pockets buIging with apples where the.
would be handy to get at whenever tn
apple hunger struck us, and that woul
be several times day. All of whic
would help to make apples sell better

Cunning Has Valuable Cow

No one in the valley, perhaps, has a
more valuable milch COW than II. A.
Cunning, of the soak Grove district.
The animal is pure bred Jersey. and
her owner sells on an average two
pound roll of butter each day in addi-
tion to keeping his family of wife and
six children supplied with all the milk
and butter needed. 81 was offered
Sl25 cash for the COW several days
ago, says Mr.. Cunning, but think |
would make a poor deal to sell her, for
she returns me about $24 per month.
The COW was received as payment for
days work with team by Mr.. Gun
ming when she was tiny calf. The
neighbors laughed at me when | drove
home with the tiny animal. " he says,
"but now she has won the admiration
of all the neighborhood. "

the purpose Of demonstrating to house
wives that the cost of living can be cut

vantageous to relieve herself Of all the
cooking possible and Canned Foods en-
able her to do this and at the same time
improve the quality of her meals.
Women in every community should OBJ
serve National Canned Foods Week by
going to the dealers and putting In a sup
ply. The saving and general satisfaction
in the use Of Canned Foods is entirely
worth while.-Adv.
