WHERE NEWTOWN PIPPINS
WERE FIRST ORIGINATED
Newtown, less thnn a century ago a
charming district on Long Island, N. Y.,
the place where the famous Newtown
Pippin originated, is now the Second
ward of Queens borough in Greater New
York. They are having a dispute over
the naming and renaming of their
streets. One party insists on sacrificing
old names and substituting such misfits
as Ajax avenue, Neptune avenue, Venus
avenue, nnd so on, for Horse Brook
road, Old Shell road, Feather Bod lane,
and the like. Among the historic names
that have been sacrificed is Washington
street, wh ich was In id out through a
field in which Washington encamped in
1770. Tho native town of Oregon's
great Newtown Pippin deserves better
handling. This apple, like all great
fruits, - was a freak or accident. Ex
change. GREAT SCIENTIST

For the Last
Time This Year
For the last three years we have claimed a part of your patronage and
are pleased to say we are satisfied with what we have gotten. We have
tried to please, and for the balance of this year or until Christmas we will
give you 10 per cent off of any goods you may buy, but after that time
the old prices will prevail.
The panic has had no effect on us at all, and with the new year we
will stock up and serve yon better than ever.
The oity council has decreed that you and each and all of you shall
place numbers on your houses, and I have them to sell you so cheap
that you can't refuse to buy them. Come In and see them. If you have
not yet put in your guess, you had better get busy at once.
I am Shortie Oarnett, the hardware man that does things.
