VACATION

Its most time for the tired bus
iness man to begin planning for that
summer vacation. The call of the
mountain or the coast Is beginning
to run in the blood.
Why not. this year. consider it a
call of the field and the orchard? :?
They will need all the help tnat can
be mustered this summer and fall.
And the average business man is
sorely in need OF the good healthful,
upbuilding work, that a week on a
farm would mean.
II might be found that vacation
spent in helping the farmers OF Jo-
sephine county get in their second
cutting Of alfalfa. or thinning APP
pies. or picking pears, would be just
as enjoyable as loafing on the sands
by the sea shore. Perhaps the very
novelty Of it would appeal to most
business men. II is certainly worth
considering.
