BACK TO FARMING

After rather exciting two
weeks with various marketing

nent man has not yet been sta.
toned here. but it is said he will

morning for Seattle after spending
few days with US, satisfied that
all was we'll with the Bowen & Co.
customers.
Sixteen growers at White Bluffs
signed pledges for stock in a com
munity warehouse. although they
have not decided yet whether to
build new house or to take over
the Wenatchee Valley Fruit Ex-
change warehouse. There is a d.
vided sentiment on this question.
OF these sixteen growers, ten of
them with an approximate tonnage
of 10000 boxes, signed contracts
with the Perham Fruit Company
after the meeting Monday night.

came a close friend of the cele-
brated actress in the course Of his
own exceptional stage career.
Houdini said Nine. Bernhard
evidently believed that he pos

forming in Boston about six years
ago, she asked him to restore the
leg which she had lost in an op-
GRAFTON for blood poisoning.
On her last tour, Houdini said.
Nine. Bernhardt was presented
with a small bronze statue OF her.
self in one of her favorite dra-
matte roles. The presentation
was made by John Drew. but
who had ordered the statue Hou-
DIM did not know. Later the
widow of Kitson, the renowned
sculptor who had modelled the
statue, presented her with bill
for $500 for the statue. Houdini
paid the bill and presented the
actress with the statue again.
