GROCERIES ARE AN ABSOLUTE
necessity to every human being.
From the day you enter the world
until the day you leave it you have
to patronize, directly or indirectly, some
grocery store. You have to eat to keep
alive. Among the earliest lessons taught
in life is a regard for your diet, by select
ing only fresh and wholesome food, and a
regard tor your purse by practicing the well
established rules of economy. We can sell
you fresher and better goods and more of
.them for cash than you can buy elsewhere
on open .account. Look over our stock,
et our prices, and be convinced.

Included not less than 5000 persons
The successful culmination of the
entire day's program and events Is
due In a large measure to the untir
ing energies of D. C. Sanderson, edi
tor of the Freewater Times, who was
ably assisted by an executive council
consisting of Attorney C. T. Godwin,
J. H. Hall, J. F. Kortz and I. B
Mitchell. Under the direction of this
committee the order of the day was
carried out without a hitch and If
any one left without making a good
test of the quality and flavor of Free

dently their own fault.
By 10 o'clock the city was crowd

Walla Walla. Pendleton and the In

request. However, he put It to a vote
