SurP,u WM00 LONG TIME credit houses must get long prices. Goods sold on twelve months time must pay two or more profits. List up $50.00 you have paid such houses and compare with our prices. We Offer You 60 Days Credit Because that is best we could get We Offer You 5 per cent for Cash Because that is what we get plus the insurance, ex pense of bookkeeping, stamps, etc. We Charge Interest if Over Time Is Taken Because we cannot borrow money without paying interest. The net result after three years is that the increased percentage of cash received creates a change in ratio of turnover that enables us to reduce price level, while the 5 for cash is always that much less than you are buying for.

LARGE CLASS IS GRADUATED Exercises of Week Marked by Brilliant Pageant and Meritorious Dramatic Performances UR regular ad. makes way in this issue for the following from the editorial columns of the Oregonian of May 20th: "In the Weekly News Letter, a publication issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, farm ers are advised to do as much of their business as pos sible through the banks. By depositing all money re ceived and paying all bills of moment by check a pretty accurate account of receipts and expenditures can be at all times had by simple computations. Small items can be paid for by cash had by means of cashing checks for considerable sums to be kept on kr-)d for liquidating such bills. If necessary a supplemental account could be kept of such items, thus making the accounts of re ceipts and expenditures exactly correct and entirely self-explanatory. "The article calls attention to the indisputable fact that a bill paid by a bank check made payable to and en dorsed by the creditor' is as good a receipt as can be had. It also adverts to the value of a bank account as a step toward systematization and business safety. In fact, the careful and studious keeping of a bank account, with strict attention to banking rules, is sure to redound to the good of the farmer or any other business man who wishes to conduct his affairs safely and methodically."

The Hood Kiver Canning Co. began packing Hood Kiver strawberries Tues day of last week. With new machin ery installed and with the plant made ore of the most conveniently arranged in Ihe northwest, hundreds of crates of luscious Clark Seedlings are now going into cans for distribution to discrimnat ing trade in all parts of the country. The name of the canning company, which is corporation, waa recently changed from Cloud-Newton Co. to the Hood Kiver Canning Co. The author ized capital stock was increased from $10,000 to $25,000. With E. li. Cloud, who began the business with John K. Newton last year, his brother, W. H. Cloud and 11. H. I.arkin are now asso ciated. All have had years of experi ences in the business. They all believe in the success of the Hood Kiver valley fruit industry, and are endeavoring to assist the growers, while they build up profitable business for themselves. Mr. Larkin came here from Greely, Colo., where he was engaged in the canning business. "I have spent all my lite in the canning business, he says. In fact, I have devoted about 3b years to the work. About 17 years ago Mr. Cluod and 1 were engaged in busi ness together in Mew Jersey. In all my experience 1 have never seen a finer product from a earner's viewpoint than that grown in Hood Kiver." When the factory begins to operate full time at least 100 girls, women and men will be needed to pick and wash the fruit and prepare it for the pro cesses through which it passes. Last year about 65 girls and women were employed at the cannery. Since last season number or im provements have been made at the cannery. A new receiving platform has been built. Two new double earners, the machines that apply the caps and seal the cans, have been in stalled. All the shelves and work tables have been rearranged, making the big work room far more convenient. New cooking tanks have been built. A crate of berries never stops now on being delivered at the receiving platform. It is weighed. Then it passes to the girls, who pick off the stems and place the fruit in standard grades. An inspector is all the time observing the picking tables to see that rigid grading rules are enforced. A man then gathers up the filled trays and places them on shelves, the different grades aegregated. The ber ries are then thoroughly washed and placedin cans that are fresh from the slerilliaer. Tbvan are filled, sugared and weighed, after which they are placed in steamers. They then are taken by boys to the double seamers. Prom the seamers the csns of fruit, in trays, are passed to the eroklng troughs. Ihe trays are attached to slow moving sprocket chains. Inclines that lit in the troughs are so arranged that they may be slid backward and forward. They may be set to that the fruit may be emerged in the steaming water any length of time desired. The sprocket chain draws them through the cooking trough over a division into cooling water. They are then packed in boxes awaiting the process by which the cans are lacquered to prevent rust ing. Each can bears a rubber stamp imprint, denoting the date of canning, the grade and contents. After the lac quering has been finished, the fruit is stored away to await orders, w hen It ia ready for shipment it is properly la beled. "We invite all growers to come in and look over our plant," says Mr. Cloud. "We will be delighted to have them call at any time und make tours of inspection." The canning company is purchasing fruit direct from groweis, and anyone with berries to sell should call 3422. The cannery will.handle, in addition to strawberries, cherries, pears and ap ples. No vegetables will be handled ,this season. However, Mr. Larkin .states that he thinks climatic condi tions ahould make the Hood Kiver yal Wy 0 su?tabje place for the production of excellent canning vegetables. "We would Jitke to get as many cher ries as possiule (rem Jthe valley," says Mr. Cloud. "It mutt be remembered by the growers that If the cherriea are al lowed to remain on the trees and raacjh that condition most suitable for ca li ners, .they will add much weight over fjul mm mai ia picaea earner lor snuieni. The jjnnery will not receive any fruit a,tty j'i o'clock, noon, on Saturdays. CHlESOFiSOBJWNDY BEADY FOR BOARDS J.
