SUBSCRIBER Sherman Wakefield Is Sure That Reading Optimistic Paper Adds to Longevity He also Be lieves In X Business Proposition. Sherman Wakefield, well known farmer of Heppner Flat has entered i into a twenty year contract with the Gazette Times and will make pay ment once in every five years, cover ing his subscription in advance. When Mr. Wakefield noted the fact that the price of the Gazette-Times was going to raise to $2.00 on the first of July, he lost but little time in coming into the office with a busi ness proposition. "I want to subscribe to your paper for twenty years," said Mr. Wake field to the editor. oNt being used to such talk, the editor attempted to pass the matter off lightly by start ing a discussion of politics or the war, or the wheat crop, but Mr. Wakefield would not be side-tracked. "See here," said hc,"I notice that you are going to raise your price on July 1. Now what I want is a twenty year subscription at your present rate. How does that sound to you? With the priviledge to pay for five years in advance now and renewing at the end of each five year term." The editor needed no further urg ing and the check from Mr. Wake field was exchanged for a receipt cov ering the first five years. "You know," said Mr. Wakefield, after he was asked if he expected to !ive twenty vears more, or whether he expected the Gazette-Times to con tinue in business that length of time, "I firmly believe that by reading your optimistic paper during the coming years, my life is bound to be prolong ed. On your own business stability, I am perfectly willing to stake my chance." Iled Cross Women Entertained. While in Seattle last week, Mrs. S. W.
