Heard On The Rural Phone
I
‘ Hello Ruth, this is Helen” , I just came back from Estacada and I left your order at Givens
store and he will quote you prices by mail, as he was so busy this morning in a board meeting o f the
East Clackamas County Fair that I couldn’ t get to talk to him” .
“ Well say Helen, what do you think about that baby show that they are to have during the fair” .
" I think its fine but you dont need to think that you will get the prize because my baby is bet­
ter looking than yours and you know it” .
“ I dont know any such a thing and I am perfectly willing to leave it to the judges” .
“ By the way, lets all plan to go down to Canby on the 20th, to East Clackamas County Day,
they say they are going to have a great time on that day” .
“ Are you folks going to exhibit at the East Clackamas Fair” ?
•
“ Well I should say we are. I went down to Givens store some time ago and bought my fruit
jars and I am going to try for first prize under that canning contest thats listed on page 23 o f the
Fair Bulletin No. 202.
Just think the first prize is $12.00 and then Givens refunds the price o f the
Fruit Jars providing they were bought o f him, and there is no use o f buying them any other place for
you cant beat his price.
If you havent one o f the fair bulletins it will pay you to get one
for they are free for the asking” .
“ I’ ve got pretty nearly Thirty Dollars worth o f those 2 % discount tickets that Givens
gives with cash purchases, and by the time I get my winters supply o f Groceries and Flour I'll have
more than Fifty Dollars worth.
I’ ll tell you it pays to take advantage o f that discount, and John
says what ever the discount amounts to is all the money that me and the kids can have for the fair,
but that will be enough to take us in alright” .
“ Well I smell my bread burning and so I ’ ll have to run along.
Call me up again some time” .

Wandering B oy Returns
Joy, rejoicing and joyfulness
reigned in the Jerry Jones’ office
in Estacada one day last week,
when word was received by the
anxious father, that his wander­
ing boy Lewis had returned.
Lewis, o f E. H. S. fame, who
has been in the forestry service
under Forester Wallace, was last
week dispatched up Pike’ s Peak
to round-up, corral or catch one
strayed pack horse, which had
wandered f r o m t h e Bagsby
Springs camp.
Lewis started out over a be­
dimmed deer trail, shedding his
wool shirt and coat along the
way, to be gathered on the re­
turn trip. The return trip oc-
cured about twelve rainy hours
later, after the hunter and hunt­
ed had spent a dreary night, lost,
alone, foodless and scantily clad
in the drizzling, dripping under­
brush o f a mountain canyon, ten­
derly nursing a dampened, one
flicker fire.
