; Returning from the Duncan Mc

nessing a thorough demonstration of
the Dest Combined Harvester, sever
al citizens of La Grande pronounced
It the greatest machine of the kind
they had ever seen.
H. A. Caldwell, agent for the Best
company, handled the demonstration

every wheat section is filled with the
machines that save the money to
ranchers. In Union county there
have been few combined" harvesters,

Mr. McDonald says he can handle his
grain for $1.2 5an acre. This means
that only five men are required on
the harvester and that 40 acres of
'nln each day can be handled. On the
basis of 6." bushels to the acre, one
can readily see the remarkably low
cost that prevails with the Best ma
chine. The simplicity of the machine
which Mr. Caldwell Is representing,
commends It to the rancher who U
not a thorough machinist, and the re
pair bills from the machines now rn
use guarantee that the breaking of
parts Is small as compared with Borne
machines.
The Best Is an old timer. It has
been tried and found practical In ev

been on the market and each season
