THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, onEGOs | COLUMBIA NEWS NOTES SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE But it has attained its present high standing by reason of being, first of all, a safe bank. First National Bank OF HERMISTON Resources Over One-third of a Million Dinner For Five I Dollars $11.00 Five Middle I ? •Western farm I * leaders sat , down to din ner in a big hotel. Modestly they ate ‘ steak, potatoes, corn, bread and butter and drank coffee— and the check was $11. Then one of them, says The COUNTRY GENTLEMAN figured roughly from the day’s market reports what share the farmer had got of the $11— and the answer was 82 cents! And still some folks say the farmer is a profiteer ! First, last and all the time T he C ountry G entleman stands for a living profit for the farmer. Its articles are aimed at better and more economical methods in cropping; at more scien tific breeding and feeding of animals; at greater use of tractors anu other labor-saving machinery; at more efficient market ing. In other words, the chief aim of THE COUN TRY G entleman is to help the farmer to make more money — to get more of the consumer’s dollar—to get n or. than 82 cents out of an $11 dinner. One dollar that you spend for a year’s subscription may save you a hundred dollars or more. Why delay longer? Let Me Order Yours Today Phone 581 ED. H.

Congressman Nick Sinnott has requested The Herald to assist him in making distribution of the vege table seeds alloted to his district. The department of agriculture has, he says in his letter, alloted to each member of congress a number of packages sufficient to give a pack age to only one in eight or ten per- sons in his district. This causes him to be particularly desirous that what seeds he has available should get Into the hands of those consti- tuents who desire them and can use them to the best advantage. He is of the opinion that this can be done better through the papers In his dis- trict Iban In any other way. Announcement will be made In these columns when the seeds rive, which should be soon after the first of the coming year.
