COLD STORAGE.

Why not have your apples PLACED
with the PAYETTE COLD SToR-
AGE where the Temperature does
not change, fall, winter or spring,
always go Degrees above Zero, you
can see them at any time.
Good sound Apples carefully sort
ed and packed, have never shown
a shrink of a QUARTER OF ONE
PER CENT, when coming out OF
these stores. Re-packing entirely un-
necessary, if bad fruit is not placed
in the boxes.
During the past five Crops Ap-
pies stored in a modern Cold S'or-
age House, have averaged to bring
sic more a box in April, than they
would have brought in October,
when they were stored. Don't allow
vour Apples to be sold IN the early
rush; prices are largely based on
exports. This year the few ships
that are free, will be busy carry
ing bread stuffs to the waring ma
tions. the present freight charges
are 471kc per box On Apples from
an American to an English PORT
add freight from here to an Amerl-
can port, and think 1T over.
Bread they MUST have, apples
they MAY have, if they have the
price to spare, New York State is
pretty short OF her last years crop
but she still will have plenty apples
to send west if she can't get them
off for export. Don't sacrifice your
apples early, the war viii be over,
Christmas is coming and down viii
go sea freights. The wise man VIII
have apples to sell when they are
higher. Su' ''-sA

grounds Music of an excellent char
acter was furnished by the Payette
band, Payette's Ruff Neck Quartet,
and by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wilson
who came down from Fruitland and
contributed some excellent numbers
on the piano and violin.

thought from the addresses given.
These Farmers picnics are always |
a success and it is hoped one may

helped pull him out of the lake, and
after the water was drained from the
engine the auto was cranked and pro-
ceeded under its own power.
