BETTER FRUIT 



April 



Illinois to visit iTome folks. We do not 

 find it necessary to work on Sundays, 

 as some do, but find it a pleasant recrea- 

 tion to drive to the village church, three 

 miles away, or rest ciuietly in our own 

 home, reading good books or papers, 

 among them the Daily Capital. We are 

 contented and happy. I have not endeav- 

 ored to tell of hard times or misfortunes 

 that have come to us, as will come to all, 

 preferring to look on the bright side of 

 life and strive on, not forgetting that 

 the things of the world are only tem- 

 poral, but 'lay up for yourselves treas- 

 ures in heaven, where moth or rust 

 doth not corrupt nor thieves break 

 through and steal.' 



"We are at present preparing to move 

 to a small farm near town to educate 

 our children. I have endeavored to state 

 facts as they occurred to us, hoping 

 someone may be benefited thereby and 

 determined to secure a home, for what 

 two have done surely others may."

Almost the whole world knows of 

 Hood River as a place that produces 

 the best fruits, and all of Hood River 

 Valley should know, and could know, 

 that there is one place in Hood River, 

 under the firm name of R. B. Bragg & 

 Co., where the people can depend on get- 

 ting most reliable dry goods, clothing, 

 shoes and groceries at the most reason- 

 able prices that are possible. Try it.

THE TOOL that SAVES a TOOL 



Why l)uy two tools when one will do two kinds 

 of work and do it better and easier ? Clark's 

 original "Cutaway" Harrow can be used as a field 

 harrow and its extension head frame converts it 

 into an orchard harrow. Drawn by two medium 

 horses and will cut 28 to 30 acres or double cut 

 15 acres in a day. The genuine "Cutaway" disk 

 slices, stirs, lifts, twists and aerates the soil. 

 Working the soil this way lets in the air, sinishine 

 and new life and kills foul vegetation. Ihorough 

 cultivation makes large crops. Successful farm- 

 ers, orchardists, gardeners and planters inncy 

 know that intensive cultivation is profit- r.„„f 

 able when done properly. ' 

 Clark's "Cutaway" tools 

 are used and endorsed by satisfied users through- 

 out this entire country. Also in several foreign 

 countries. Why ? Because they decrease 

 labor and increase crops.
