Do You Get Your Money's Worth
People are getting tired of it getting UreJ of being he I J up
they want their money' worth now the gold brick Uat r
oer.
People used to be, willing to smoke cabbage leaves in place
of Haven end pay good monej for it it they got a premium or
coupon willing to buy tea and pay twice its worth just to get a
dish free those days are over people want their mftney's worth
now they want what they pay for value received.
The line of general merchandise we sell offers you your
money's worth we don't have to offer you a lot of cheap
inducement to hide cheap quality. When you buy a pair of
shoes we don't throw in a premium, your money goes into the
value of the shoe. It's the same with our clothing, hats, dry
goods and groceries. We sell you the genuine article at a
reasonable price. THATS ALL THATS ENOUGH.

lection of such samples as he ha-,i,ound that ir they are watered
ik. ..i.mnn iKm ;.h.idaily with celd water from the
hands of the men collecting the ex
hibits. The Prineville Commercial Club
undertook the task some weeks
ago with the result that some ten
large crates' of products, the best
samples that could be gleaned
from the large territory, covered,
have been collected, and much of
this is a the hands of the railroad
. people at this time. Every farm
in the territory cannot be visited,
however, and much of the best
stuff matures at widely different
period, until the vtry best results
can only be hai by the co oper
ation of every producer.
.Select the best grains and grasses
you have, likewise vegetables and
all such products, when they are
ju-t about mature. Pull the
grains, etc. up by the roots, put in
a bundle as big as a binder bundle
or bigger, tie the bunch securely
and leave the sample at the Prine
ville club rooms with your address
and the, name of the variety, the
length of growth, and whether irri
gated or dry land grown.
Your name and address goes
with the sample, all over ll e
United States, and no one gets
credit for the sample but you. It
cons you not one cent. Help boost,
bring one sample or send it to
your local mt reliant and he will

faucit it takes six weeks for them
to bloom, but if they are watered
with luke warm water the time is
reduced to a month. One of these
bushes had fourteen blocms on
two branches.
Pinks were grown that bloom in
two and a half months from the
seed, while under ordinary con
ditions the time required is six
months.

A negro and his truck were rap
idly careening down the steep hill
to the station. ' Crates and boxes
were noisily bumping to the street,
but a small nepro sat on the sum
mit undisturbed by the rapidly ac
cruing wreckage. Presently tiie
driver pulled up at the station with
a flourish, and, looking over his
shoulder, his face became momen
tarily transfixed with astonishment
to note that a great portion of his
load was missinr.
Turning to the small negro, he
demanded:

ELEPHANT LABORERS.
Steriea That Are Told About Their
Wondorful Clevernaa.
In eatcrn countries elephants do
wonderful work in the way of dntg
pinjj and sorting timber and in
breaking up obst ructions caused by
liwp mid miscellaneous flotsam in
streams. An Knglish army ollieiul
says he has often watched the ele
phants in a timber yard, and the
human way in which they will test
the weight of a lo requires to be
seen to be credited. 'The tusker
will lift up one end with his trunk,
and if lie deems it within his power
to lift the whole he will shift his
trunk gradually until he gets to
the exact center; then by kneeling
down he will roll the log 08 to his
tusks and will carry it either to be
stacked or to the sawmill.
On tea estates the elephants are
occasionally employed to help in
building construction by keeping
the masons supplied with blocks of
stone, and if the wall be not too
high they will not only take the
block up, bait lay it quite correctly
in its proper place. A Ceylon ele
phant used , regularly to lay stones
in this way under the orders of an
overseer, to whom he used to sig
nal to inspect and "pass" the work
done and to give permission for
fresh courses to be laid.
On one occasion the elephant
placed himself against part of the
nail, thus preventing the overseer
from examining that part of the
job. The hitter, however, insisted
on the animal moving aside, and
the elephant, seeing his ruse had
failed, at once began to pull down
the wall which he had just built and
which he was quite aware was bad
ly done at the very spot where he
had tried to conceal it from the
eye of his master.
A liurmcse ship captain also tells
a story of a female elephant which
he, while anchored off the coast,
freouentlv saw come out of the iun-

All this lime Ihe years were slipping
away. My hair wns whitening, and I
was obliged to choose lotween wearing
a gray beard and excising a w rinkled
neck. Somel lines when looking in a
mirror I would realize that I was
changing, but Ihe slipping from youth
to nge was so gradual that I did not
rcallae It. As for Agatha, while I
could not but rememlKT that she must
have changed. I slill thought of her us
a young girl.
Suddenly In my old ago I made n
fortune. It was ton hue for the union

Agatha and I might si III lie a comfort
to each other in our decline. As soon
as 1 could get nwny I took a traiu to
go to her, resolved lo ask her lo be my
companion, to share my fortune for
what remained of life lo either of lis.
During the Journey I endeavored In
fix my mind iiai her as she must be
after so many years. It was Jiiiposii

her changed appearance. Only the'
sweet face of a young girl would come
to me.
I called on Clarence Wet more a." his
