It Has Beauty Performance Super-Six Smoothness Economy and Endurance This is the greatest Essex value in history. It is the Finest Essex ever built. The price is the lowest at which Essex ever sold. The largest production of 6-cylinder cars in the world, giving economies in purchase of materials, manufacture and dis tribution exclusive to that position, make this value possible alone to Hudson-Essex. The new low price places it within the reach of all, and it has the bril liant performance, reliability, riding ease and fine appearance for which Essex is famous.No wonder everyone is saying these things about Essex.

This Is the opinion expressed by the McMinnville bank in its an nual prune and walnut crop sum mary. Conditions in Marlon and Polk counties are reported to be nearly the same. On the other nand an unusually good crop from 3 5 to 50 per cent above last year's yield Is predicted In the report. Blight la showing up to a limited extent, and the treea are shedding considerably, but as this shedding practically re lieves the trees of the blighted nuts the season's 4rop will be corres pondingly cleaner. The recent rain has been highly beneficial in that It will cause the nuts ot be fully filled and of higher quality. Prices on prunes being quoted In Salem are: 30-50's, Sc; 40 45s. 61c to Tc; 50-55B, 61c; 35-40S, 8c to 81c; 45 50s. 6c to 61c; 65-608. 6c. The report summarizes the prune situation In every center ot Yamhill county. This summary follows: Amity On the hills the crop Is very light: In the foot-hills and valleys, on the younger trees, there is indlcaUon of an average of 60 to CO per cent of a normal crop. Bellevue The foot-hill orchards indicate a yield of approximately 30 to 35 per cent and the prunes are of unusually large size. Carlton 20 to 30 per cent of a normal yield is the-report of sev eral growers In this district. With the younger orchards bearing slight ly heavier than others, the report would probably Justify an estimate of one third ot a normal crop. Dayton Reports from this dis trict indicate that the younger or chards will have 35 to 40 per cent of a normal crop, while the older orchards show 25 to 30 per cent. Dundee On the higher lands crops seem to be rather light, while on lower foot-hill land where or chards received careful attention, indications are for a yield of ap proximately 46 per cent of nor mal. Lafayette The older orchards tions, members of Industrial clubs In Oregon will come In for the special attention of the electrical power utilities ot the Northwest, who have contributed a fund of 1255 to be used to purchase prises for the two high scoring girls and the two high scoring boys at the elate fair.
