AT LAST
Why pat off baying any longer when yotf can
get the world's finest mask, reproduced EX
ACTLY AS IT IS on an Edison AMBEOLA?
If you are one who doesn't know
the wonders of the new Edison Amberola,
we merely ask yon to call and let as show
you what you are missing.
We have been in business a long time, Mr. Reader. No one knows the Talk
ing Machine business any better than we do. We have watched the Edison machine
develop from year to year, until to day we unhesitatingly claim it to be the best
sound reproducing instrument made. (Either Disc or Cylinder.)
Below are a few of our reasons for claiming the Edison as the best.
1 ALL EDISON PHONOGRAPHS are made with the horn concealed
within a beautiful cabinet.
2 THE REPRODUCING POINT is a genuine diamond that is never
changed like a needle. It does not wear out nor does it wear the record. .
3 ALL NEW EDISON RECORDS are practically indestructible, they do
not become injured by handling or dropping.
4 ALL RECORDS PLAY from 4 to 7 minutes, the Blue Amberol 4
minutes, the Disc about 7 minutes.
5 THE EDISON is the only machine on which you can make records at
home. This is a valuable feature as it enables you to make some novel records of
the songs and instrumental pieces of your friends, as well as members of your fam
ily. : ' ' ..
6 EVERY RECORD is a gem, carefully selected, properly recorded,
skillfully handled in the manufacture.
7 MR. EDISON has now standardized his phonograph. It is now perfect
in both disc and cylinder form. HIS 0. K. HAS BEEN AFFIXED TO EVERY DE
TAIL. .Perfect sound reproduction is the general verdict.
8 MR. EDISON SAYS he wants to see an Edison Phonograph in every
home. He has put the prices of his machines within the reach of all. $30.00,
$45.00, $60.00, $80.00, $100.00, and up to $450.00. Records 50c to
$2.50. : .-'.

"CAN'T RAISE CORN"
It used to be the Saying, but it
Don't go Now
"You can't raise corn in Oregon.
Nights are too cool."
This is an old saying, and it is
' generally believed. It used to be
true, for farmers would take seed
' raised on the hot prarie and try to
make it grow here. .
' Then 'they wised up. They tried
Burbank's scheme. They raised their
own seed and gradually produced an '
acclimated seed, a seed that raise
corn in Oregon, and that the North
: west has become the rival of the
I "corn states" has been demonstrated
by the first corn show held recently
at Pendleton. The people of Umatil
la county had their first view of real
Oregon field corn. There was corn
- of every description, corn on the cob,
in rows and piles; corn on stalks
some of them measuring 12 feet high.
There was corn in bulk, yellow corn,
white corn, red corn and several
shades between. Frizes given by the
O. W. R. & N. Co., and others amoun
ted to $1000. . Entries from 200 in
dividual exhibitors were represented,
The exhibit was judged by Professor
Scudder, Hyslop and French of the
Oregon Agricultural College, after
which the entire exhibit was shipped
to Portland and displayed for a whole
week. In Portland, thousands were
astonished to see the corn exhibited
in the shock, on the ears, in the sack,
in the silo and ground into meal
this being the product of the state of
Oregon, where all was spread put in
convincin profusion. And now, Ore
gon comes into the ranks of corn
growing states. ,
