THIS AN AGE OF THE BE5T In no age in the history of the world has individual effort , been placed under such a heavy contribution as iu this in the strenuous battle of life. The inexorable demand of the age is . for the best, and it matters not in what field of labor or calling . a man or woman is working to sapply the world with some thing it wants, and in return therefore procure the things he or she requires to supply daily wants, it matters not what : the proffered thin? .is .it mmi fc the best of its kind or the pro duct offered, regardless of the labor expended thereon, will find no demand, no market I to take it, and the producer of an inferior article meets only dis couragement and poverty. Pov erty is the oondition of a person that has not something, money, property or labor, to exchange for the necessaries of lite, which he or she has not. The man or woman that has nothing to ex change but labor for the things his necessities demand that others own, must have skill and industry of the highest type in that line or no body will ex change the things he has for it; that is will not hire him. The unit of labor is the amount of first class work that can be per formed in a day in a particular line, and the person who can meet ; this 'requirement finds little difficulty in finding mar- ket for his skill and industry. The farmer who produces a first class article fruit, wheat, butter, grain cow or house finds a ready market therefore . In 1903 when wormy or otherwise defective apples of good varie ties or poor kinds were rotting beneath the trees on which they grew. Mr. W E Brendly in the Oregon Booster tells us that first class Hood River New Town Pippins sold in London for about seven cents each or $5.43 per box of 45 pounds. This is the highest price ever paid for spples in London not be cause apples were scarce, but because the Oregon apples for which it was paid were the best apples that had ever been seen in that market. At the Colum bia Exposition in 1893 apples grown in Eagle Valley, then in Union County, won the first prize. As the excellency of the Oregon apples becomes known the demand increases, in 1903 the Oregon apple crop was valued at $640,000 and in 1904 over iiuu.uuu. this expansion of market is because the world is finding out the high quality of our apples. Were Oregon apples no better than those grewn elsewhere the English, German and French would not purchase them. The world wants the best and will pay for it whether it is an apple, sack of flour, pair of shoes or days labor W H Kobnenktmp Is having a cement walk placed In front ot his . residence and similar walks In the yard. Exhibit Hall was very much in evidence and was greatly ap preciated by the Excursionists yesterday forenoon. Nature has be n liberal with her blessings. It is now up to the citizens of this county to do their part toward its fullest de velopment.
