Members of tho Bachelor Girls' club were enjoyably entertained last evening1 by Mis Doris Barnes. A group of Weston citizens met in social session one evening last week and among other topics discussed tho signs of spring which had come under their observation.

Thoso who investigated found that We Were Truthful in our Ad vertisements, and that Our Prices were Lower and that they could buy cheaper from us than elsewhere. For the past year we have had Mail Order House Cataloprues on our counters, io that our customara could have them handy for their reference in case they were in doubt as to our prices. Our Irrrplerncnt tJusiness the past year was phenomenal. The bulk of the Implement were sold away from the immediate vicin ity, Walla Walla, and Prescott on one side and The Reservation and Helix on the other. We even made one shipment to Baker, Oregon. And we know it to be a fact that many of these same men will buy implements again from us this year. In fact, we re ceived an order this week for a Gang Plow to be delivered the other side of Walla Walla. No doubt yon have reen many people in our store this past year from the Milton territory, that were never known to deal in Wes ton before. There Must be a Reason These people did not come to Weston to buy from us, because they were In Love with us. They came because thejj Could Save Money, and they Did Save Money. Our Policy will be to continue to sell for less than the other fellow; and irrespective of what the market conditions may be, you will always get the benefit of the very best price here, and you can rely on what we say. You will find us truthful, conscientious, and honest in all our dealings. JONES & JONE The John Deere Dealers WESTON, OREGON shovel, making the bad places bet ter.
