What to Qook
and
What to Eat
is the question that troubles
most housekeepers at this
season of the year. While
our markers are fairly well
supplied with bunch veget
ables, such as radish, onions,
lettuce, young turnips, etc.,
the weather has been a little
too cool for a liberal supply
of strawberries, asparagus
and green peas.

Life Insurance va. Unfermented
Grape Juice.
"Do you know, that while a life
insurances man was boring his old
line, double acting, automatic talk
yesterday, I got an idea of bow I can
beat bis proposition a mile, witb an
fermeoted grape juire," said a promi
nent citizen to W. B. Sherman a few
day a since.
"Well 1 know that onrermenteu

"It can do it," tbe other assured.
"Here's the plan. It's a plain pro

man was after me to take out a
$10,000 20-year endowment policy.
Now I haven't got anything againat

am limpy telling you that I can beat
it with nnfermented grape juioe.
That 20-year pnlicv woeld cost me
$300 ajyear, $8000 for 20-years. Sop
pose I buy 10 acres of granite land
north bill slope, right here near the
city limits of Grants Pass. It would
not cost me $400 an acre. I could
plow, prepare and plant it to Concord
grapes for leas than W an acre. The
average cost of caring for tbe land
would be $15 an acre or $150 a year,
or full care for 20 years for t-'JOCO. which

Insurance, but I'm for tha uufer
mooted. Rogue River Valley haa nrovan limit
beyond a doubt as being a natural
home of tbe grape. Readers, were you
to come and see the wild grapes grow
ing in th woods and see how large
they grow, and bow heavy they are
loaded witb fruit every year, von
would be convinced of this fact with
out any further proof. Z
Alter looking over tbe many places
where grapes are being cultivated, all
around Grants Pass and convince your
self of the qoantity and quality of
the grapes we are growing here yoa
will say that the Editor of the Bnlle-
tin is too oonseryarive in his state
ments. You will also find that there has
been more new Uods cleared and
planted to fruit around !Grants Pass
in the last year, than there haa been
in the last 10 years. And again you
will find that 90 per cent of the clear
ing and planting done bare in the past
year was done by our home people.
loe outside worm Is Jest beginning
to learn of our little valley and Its ad
vantages and olimatennsurpawed.
xoo may ask yourself wot? Beoause
our locality most be filled by people
from the East. How can they get
here? They have to come either by
oue of the northern or southern roates
which lands them either in Portland
or San Francisco, or Los Angeles and
wun tne oomomation or workers
there in each of those localities, each
working to locate people iu bis own
neighborhood, for bis own neigh
borhood, get hold of homeseekers, it U
a scratch if a man finds bis way to the
Hogue Kiver Valley. It is almost the
same as running the gauntlet. They
will tell you that the climate and con
ditions are oo better in the Rogue
River Valley than any other part of
the ooast If they have never lived in
tne Rogue River Valley one year, they
may be henest in that belief, however,
if they or yon would spend 13 months
in thi valley yon would join ns in
singing praises for our olimatlo con
ditions. You see our little valley of
about 60 miles one way by 100 tbe
otherway,is completely surrounded by
moutains wbich gives it a climate
peculiar to itself. You will make no
mistake by buying your ticket to
Grants Pass there tbe climate is very
near that of Italy and where the fruit
industry is yet in its infancy.
