Editor Post:—Reading a copy of
your neat paper, I came across an
article from the pen of Francis
Brown, an experienced hop man,
well known to me for years.
I
quite agree with him to cut out hops
and raise fruits to make juices and
preserves. Show me the man that
ever got rich raising hops; only the
speculators at the expense of the
raisers. I would advise the building
of canneries instead of hop houses.
Of course there must be hops raised
for they always will be needed and
the few that hold to them may still
do well—if speculators and profit
eers can be controlled. It may he
the same with fruits but my ad
vice is for the fruit raisers to handle
their own stuff, and cut out so
many that want to live off the labor
of others, which can only he done
by the unfair means of grafts and
profiteering. The producers are the
ones to open up the murkets direct

will meet with fair profits. Let it

Have to take a hack seat, and be
come a producer, too. The real
cause of H. C. L. is that there is not
enough produced of any one thing
because of high wages ami less
hours, and less hours is the base of
it all. The laborer is worthy of his
hire but he should give more of his
time. There was always plenty
when the 0 or 10 hour system was
on the docket, hut even then wages
were not us they should have been.

Reasons why you should
suspect your eyes
If you have to make an effort
to see distinctly; for seeing, when
the eyes ure perfect, is free from
conscious effort.
If you suffer from headache or
weiiness after visiting the mov
ies, theater or church. This is
usually the outcome of eye-strain.
If you lose interest in close
work or get sleepy after reading
a short while.
If you find yourself frowning
at your friends in the endeavor
to set faces clearly.
If you suffer from constant or
occasional headaches—often se
vere. THIS is a sure sign your
eyes need immediate attention.

ery respect.
