The question often asked and seldom
answered, is: "How old is Ann?" Here
is the problem : Mary is 24 years old.
Mary is twice as old as Ann was when
Mary was as as old as Ann is now. How
old is Ann? Principal Watts gave this
problem to the high school and several
of them succeeded in solving the mys
tery. The two' following solutions are
given, the first by Arthur Stone, the
second by Velma Wilkinson: First.
"Let x equal difference of their ages.
Then 21 minus x equals Ann's age. One
half of 21 or 12 equals Ann's age when
Mary was 21 minus x years old. Then
12 plus x equals Ann's age, or Mary's
age when Mary was as old as Ann is
now. Therefore: 12 plus x equals 21
minus x, or 2x equals 12, x equals 6, dif
ference in ages. Therefore: 21 minus
x or 18 equals Ann's age." Second.
"Mary is 21 years old. Mary is twice as
old as AnA was when Mary was as old as
Ann is now. How old is Ann? Solution:
According to the problem, Ann was 12
years old when Mary.s age was 21 minus
the difference in their ages. Let x equal
the difference. Then 21 minus x equals
Ann's age at the present time. Then

74 W,CJ
JF YOU TRADE here you won't want your money back, Brag is not good business, but a modest man may tell the truth.
From the first day this store opened for business in Athena it has enjoyed a steady growth. Each month better than
the previous. Each year a gain of from 50 to 60 per cent over the year preceding it. And now the beginning of our year's
business in your midst we think we can say without fear of contradiction that we have the largest business with the smallest
expense of any store in Umatilla County. Prelictions that this store was short life amongst you were often heard. Some
were kind enough to give us six months. Others not so long. Some said we were way out of town, and various other rea
sons why we were soon to go. Tbe predictions were usually heard from competitors not customers, and as you all can see
have come to naught. We come here because we had faith in Athena. We came here with a determination to lower prices.
We came here to convince you that the Cash Store can and does sell cheaper, and today you never hear our friends say
the FAIR IS TOO FAR AWAY. No, no; they never think of that, as they have all learned that it's a profitable walk.
FOR ONE WEEK ONLY
Commencing Saturday, Oct. 2, and ending Saturday, Oct. 31. Thi9 will interest
you we will sell the very best grade of 10c Outing Flannels in all colors for 7k per yard.
