Ofntlkmkn: I desire to offer this as
ny testimonial in behalf of the 6-foot
Champion Binder and Bundle Carrier
purchased from yon this year. For light
ness in draft and ease of operation, sim
plicity in construction and durability,
will say that no machine to my knowl
edge is its equal, nor near it. Having cut
150 acn a of grain, the machine did not
ante 111 e five minutes' delay, conse
quently not a cent for repairs. All the
1 hamplon machines put in my neigh-iio-hood
have given equally good satis
taction. In fact, I want no better ma
chine than the Champion.

of this Molalla country. Frank was his
fifth son and tesidesnpon 80 acres of his
father's old donation land claim. Mr.
K. elates that his wheat prospect is most
flattering, but the yield of late spring
oats will depend upon the season; fre
quent showers are needed.
Elmer Armstrong, who at present re
sides upon the Fred Klinger place, is
just home from a two months' trip

quicker and better than some where the
boss gets two dollars a day. It seems
to me wrong to pay a man two dollars
or any other sum per day w hen all the
work is volunteer work. We have grad
