A week later another aaleamnn called and demanded another order for tha aam company. "But I have no order, declared tha lady.

Some laughed a though it were a joke, other were angry- But tha fact remain that all believe they are compelled to buy tha full 132.00 worth of inferior good before being assured of ownine- tha Dremium. The unfair method put the local grocers under a handicap. In none of th Incidents related to ma did th talesman explain tha coupon system to tha ladies, for he knew If he did he could not sU tha goods.

MALQNEY, Chairman. (Paid Adv.) vIley Winn Buys' Meadow trook A big land deal was consummated last Saturday by which Hoy Winn be came the owner of Mcadowbrook farm one mile and a half below Weston. It contains 763 acres, and is among th best improved ranches in Umuti'.la county. The retiring owner, Joe Hodgson, also sold to Mr. Winn 200 acre of summer fallow on the Ritchey place at a value of $25 an acre, and his entire ranching outfit, the total consideration being $107,000. In fact, ,k. ,,, ,. ., i0.. . .j ; ftt Wwton neihborhood. lt WRS nft. gotiated by W. II. Morrison, the Helix realty operator, Mr. Winn has leased his extensive land holdings in the "Oregon hills" to Glenn Scott, "and has sold his former big outfit, which includes a caterpillar, engine and a combined harvester, to tha lessee. This will enable him to devote his sole attention to his Dry creek ranch . and to Meadow-brook farm, upon which k ha already be- gun operating. " , Weston regrets to loaa". "Jg- g0n, who has laughed his way into the hearts of its people, and his family u also hisrhly regarded. It is under- stood that he intends to remain in Umatilla county, and that he is even now negotiating for a larger ranch in another district on which he can give his exclusive attention to grain-raising. .
