They Have Given Their All.
Herewith is given an extract

"We are in somo town here; it

Mother, they have given every
thing they had. You see old

to work in the fields and they
don't come back until late at
nighr. They cut all of the grain
by hand and thrash it out .vith a

them bring it in on a two-wheel
cart drawn by a couple of milch
cows. You can sec how far they
are behind the times."
but only at long range. Therefore, if you bought a small
Liberty Bond when you could afford a larger Bond, your con
science will remind you for the rest of your life that you failed
to do your duty toward the Eagle Valley boys in Service.

BUY AT HONE ID SAVE
New Bridge, Ore., Oct. 1, '18.
Editor News:
During the past week we wer$ 1
yisited by a representative of
Parks Bros., a grocery firm of
Portland, who assured us he could
save us from 25 to 50 per cent oq
a grocery order, in fact, that ha 'o
"could sell us goods cheaper than
onr merchants could buy them." ',
One of the first things he as
sured us was that raisins were
selling in here at 40c lor an 11-oz
package, when, as a matter of
face, they are selling for 14c a
pound in bulk or 15c in package.
Now, the freight rate from
Portland to Robinette is $1 per
hundred.lor a cent a pound. Af
ter reaching Robinette it must
still be brought to this Valley. ,
We have personally investigated ;'
the prices charged by our local
stores and find that he cannot '
save us one per cent, let alone 25.
to 50 per cent, and when we.
quoted him Eagle Valley prices
he assured us we were the first
to prove to him that HE COULD
NOT save us money on groceries.
His final defense was, "Well, -
they can't buy things for those
prices in Pine Valley; Tom Estes '
bought a bill of goods from me
for $59.50 and when he asked N.
D. Brown what it would cost to.
fjl.l the gam erdec, .he said 512$
Ic seems to us that anyone who
stops to figure for a moment
would see the great advantage in
patronizing "home merchants" .
when I he price is so nearly the
same as in these things, (and in
some articles really lower here.)
When we have a Liberty Bond
or W. S. S. quota to be raised
it is our home .merchants who
help, not the Portland firms;
when we are "short" or want
credit, it is the local store that
carries our account. The out-of-town
firm demands cash. When
you have farm products to sell,
the travelling agent will not ac-
cept them in exchange for his
goods.
This agent argues that some of
the Eagle Valley merchants own
autos that we' help pay for he 4
was not travelling afoot. He
says we must assist in paying
clerk hire here. Who pays his
salary and hotel expenses? And
the house he represents must be
a small one, indeed, if there are
no clerks or bookkeepers employ
ed there. i
Yours truly,
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bo'wen.'
