The team outweighed the home
team an average of about 20
pounds to the man but the game
was a good one although the col

The Corvallis boys made a touch
down in each quarter, except the
second and made all their yard
age by line drives where their
weight counted against thj High
school team. The Independence
team did some fine individual
work and Russell and Seeley
were the "star" players for
the home team. In the sec
ond quarter Richardson took Pom
eroy's place and Larson took Mc
Kinney's in the last quarter,

THE LARGEST LOAD
OF HOPS
40 Bales In One Load Attracts
Attention This Week
Eight thousand pounds, forty
bales, $2,000, was what came in
to independence in one wagon
load of hops this week. The
load came from Mc Laugh-
lin's hop houses, and the hops
were raised on the Hirschberg
yards north of town. The boys
bringing in the hops report this
was the largest load of hops ever
hauled into Independence in one
load and the load attracted con
siderable attention as it wa3 tak
en through the streets to the
warehouses for delivery.
GIVING SATISFACTION
Any article that sells and keep
selling must necessarily give the
purchaser satisfaction.
The Velvetina line must be a
very meritorious one from what
druggists in Nebraska, where the
goods were manufactured and
first introduced, say about it:
"This beinT the seventh year
for the VEi.V.'wiA. line in our
store, we think it about time to
express our gratification as to the
remarkable demand . which we
have for the preperations. Our
sales now average about $3 to
$10 per day."
Edw. Rynott & Co ,
Platlsmouth, Neb.
"I like your goods and plan of
work. Think we can sell $1,000
worth of your goods thi3 year."
Byrne's Pharmacy,
Atchinson, Kansas.
"We have been handling your
line complete f:r the last five
years and are today more enthn
siastic over the line than ever, it
being the most satisfactory line
we have in the store. It is the
best repeater we have."
F. B. Gilmore,
Lexington, Neb.
Goods that ::ell as those men
tioned above must deserve their
popularity. We have the exclu
sive agency of Independence for
the entire line.
We would be glad to supply la
dies with free samples and liter
ature.

' Plan for A Home Market
The Plan is to keep all the business
Possible in Oregon that can be kept
Here. It Is A Good Plan
A state convention of manu
turers has been called to meet in
Portland, November 21, during
the week of the land show
where it is expected that manu
facturers from all par.s of Ore
gon will be present. From Polk
county there could and should be
a good sized delegation. The
different saw mill companies,
flour mills, factories etc., should
have representatives present.
This meeting promises to be an
important one and the plan of
patronizing the manufacturers
of Oregon deserves the support
of the business men of the state.

Moving Pictures Good
When a real instructive mov
ing picture film comes, it would
be of inestimable value to have
the students of the public school
attend and the Examiner in an
editorial goes so far as to sug
gest having such machines
right in the school room. With
proper lectures the traveling
scenes of different countries
would leave lasting impressions
that no reading could equal for
educatioal purposes.
The rich can travel, but the
great mass of people are not so
situated and the motion picture
is the nearest to travel we can
secure at home.
Scenes in Venice, Germany,
England, on the ocean, ard the
Islands often come to the Inde
pendence theatre and why not
get the benefit of these pictures
by having them announced in the
schools. It would be a benefit to
the children if arrangements
could be given with them at dif
fer nent times.
"WARRENTON" lots are
selling fast. Drop in and let me
tell you about them T. R. Nunn.
Real Estate. C street, Inde
pendence. D. M. Batsford spoke in favor
of advertising, says the Oregoni
an, saying that Oregon manufac
turers should advertise more ex
tensively in the newspapers and
trade press and pointed out that
the reason so many articles of
Eastern manufacture were called
for by the consumer is due to the
fact that the Oregon manufactur
ers knows nothing about adver
ising and usually when they do
enter upon an advertising cam
paign they do so with an alto
gether inadequate appropriation.
He said if Oregon manufactur
ers would intentionally handle,
their, advertising that loyalty to
Oregon products soon would be a
duty recognized by every citizen,
If you have anything to sell
list it with me for good results.
