The answer to that question Is that It

it Is wrong by every standard of logic,
science and common sense.
A’ savings account must not be looked
on as ah evil gehlus waiting to rob you

r appears that the members of Hood
River Post, American Legion, have
been very successful in their under
taking in arranging for clean, whole
some sport and recreation, not so
much from a monetary point, but it
is necessary for the progress of the
people that their minds should relax for a while
from the daily grind. We think that this under
taking at this time is in every way as important as
shouldering a gun and fighting for democracy, and
the American Legion and Auxiliary should be
highly complimented for their effort in this line.
So for next Sunday KOBERG’S BEACH wM

will use this wrap. We have a supply
this year with a guaranteed oil per cent as
recommended by the government. Order
your supply from us.
’ Now is the time to go over the orchard and thin
off all undesirable sizes and off-grade fruit. We
will be in.the market for apples and pears where
we have furnished supplies this season.
A definite price for a commodity is the logical
way to do business in any other line. Why should
the fruit business be an exception ?
