Aftor ho had harvested his Murphy crop last fall and while sacking tho potntoes, ho placed a noto in tho bottom of each sack asking tho consumer to ho kind enough to wrlto him whnt prlco he paid for tho spuds. Tho potntoes were later sold by Mr. Young, w:.o lecelved for them 155 cents n sack, a net profit of 38 cents n Bade.

He writes homo to tho city eoiin II of North Hend: "Use your best iidgninnt about street grades, but ilways co-operate with Southern Pa cific engineers wherever possible." That Is the spirit that will mnke ho cities on Coos Hay or in any art of Oregon tho big prosperous 'omtnerclal centers they should be "onie.
