OREGON ✓ HIRTY years ago. we put in our first crop on our farm here and thirty times we had the joy that only cornea with the hopes and fears of what shall the harvest be. Although we have plenty to do without writing for the newspapers, many of our old friends and cui tomen tell us they havet been looking for our ad in the accustomed place in the Glacier, so wé are here again. Of course we are advertising to create a market for what we grow, but as we are specializing in a‘few vegeta bles, it<seems rather monotonous to have so little variety to talk about; but we have no patienee with the man that diversifies—the world approves of the man that makes the best mouse trap. Koberg's Nonpareil Asparagus (Nonpareil means noth ing better) stands for Quality in any Northwest market at the head. It took us years to put it there and we”are zealously trying tofkeep it there. It sells in Hood River for less than in any other market — 20 cents per 1 pound bunch — and it’s in its prime now. " A traveler once asked Aesop how long it would take to get to Athena. Aesop said that he didn’t know, and the traveler stalked off ex asperated. After he had walked for a few mo ments, Aesop hailed him. , -- - “It will take you one hour to reach Athens,’’ - he said. “Why didn’t you say so in the first place” demanded the traveler. - “Because,” said Aesop, “I had to see how fast you could walk.” There are travel* w on the road to “Financial Inde pendence” whd probably would like to know when they will reach their goal. According to Aesop, it will depend on the amount and regularity of the deposits they make.
