Sherwin-Williams Dry PowdeFed
The most important development of recent years in the manufacture of high grade insecticides is the successful
manufacture by THE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS CO. of an actual Lime Sulfur in dry powdered form. This is not a sub
stitute, and therefore will give results identical with the use of liquid Lime Sulfur solution excepting that you no
longer will be subject to loss from leakage, wastage, or the expense of transporting heavy barrels from town to your
orchard, as well as the trouble incidental to their return.
80 to 100 pounds when added to water is equivalent to a 600 pound barrel of the liquid.
Remember this is not a substitute, but is manufactured by THE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS CO., specialists in
insecticides, from a 33 degrees Baume solution. Try it this year, save money, and get results.

kindly gave assistance during their re
cent Bereavement, especially the com

who died at that place one day last
week.
George Ledford left Sunday for Pen
dleton, where he has accepted a posi
tion as cashier in the J. C. Penney
store.
A lot of the large floral offerings at
the Hollenbeck funeral last week were
gathered from outdoors. Quite a con
trast between this and east of the
Rocky mountains, whose 40 below and
icy snow held everything in its icy
grip.
The Mitchell Point Lumber Co. have
their planer at Sonny completed, de
spitethe bad weather for outdoor work
of the past.

We went down the highway looking
iur nems me otner aay on tne Kuthton
hill. W7e found a small crew of men
at work, "coyoting", they told us. As
this was a new one to us, we made in
quiries and was told that it was run
ning small tunnels into large project

be built. Those little tunnels will be
filled with powder and exploded later.
This is encouraging.

denly entered the Hollenbeck "home
last Wednesday evening and summoned
C. D. Hollenbeck. Mr. Hollenbeck has
been in poor hea!thfor3ome!time, and
the call, although very sudden, was
not unexpected. He was stricken with
a paralytic stroke, from which he
never rallied. Besides his many friends
and neighbors who mourn his loss, he
leaves a wife and daughter. Hazel, and
one son, Howard. Interment was in
Idlewilde.
W. S. Kaestner, who owns the old

ed on to go where duty calls, and they
will defend that starry banner wher
ever it flies on any land under the sun,
or on the seven seas.
