The raising, transportation and
marketing of apples has monopolized
the attention of horticultural associa-
tons in this section of the west to
such an extent Of late years that the
needs of other important horticultural
products have been rather overlooked.
This is particularly true Of the soft
fruits" which, on account Of their
perishable nature, have to be handled
quickly. Many growers and dealers
interested in this line, believe that
the prevailing less than carload rates
have restricted or made the raising Of
these soft fruits Improbable in thii
section.

THE OWLS BUY HUNTING
PRESERVE IN VERMONT

The efforts of the Supreme officers
of Owls in November resulted in the
closing of the transaction which gives
to the Order of Owls the title to a
great tract of land in Woodstock,
Windsor County, Vermont, $50 acres
of tillable table lands, and the balance
runs over a hunting acreage of hill
side which totals about 1000 acres.
On the land is a dwelling house with
eleven rooms, which will eventually
be converted into a club house. There
is a beautiful maple tree grove of
1000 sugar bearing maple trees while
the hillsides and lands are covered
with hardwood, poplar and spruce
trees. The peaks of the surrounding
mountains are covered with evergreen
trees.
There are excellent trout streams
running through the land and game
such as rabbit, deer and winged fowl
are found in abundance.
ANY member of the Owls desiring
to visit these grounds during the fish
ing season or in the open hunting sea-
son can get information from the
Supreme Secretary.
The land is desirable and any Owl
who desires to locate upon it, will
be sold 25 acres and dwelling house
for $1,000, by paying only one-fourth
cash and the balance on easy terms.

If the fire bell should ring would yor

much as fire bell. You should no more
try to suppress it than to stop fire
bell when it is ringing, but should cure

This can nearly always be done by TAX
