KATHRINE KARMON (Atkinson Graphic) Katherine Harmon was born in Polo, Illinois, June 3, 1866. She died in Omaha, Nebraska, August 21, 1923. In 1883 she was married to Otho Wachtel, at Polo, Illinois, and in 1884 moved to Falls City, Nebraska, where she had since resided. Two daughters, Mrs. Inez Cole, of Atkinson, and Mrs. Irene Murphy, of Flat Willow, Montana, survive her. Funeral services for the deceased were held at Falls City, Thursday, August the 23rd, conducted by Rev. Bennet, resident pastor of the M. E. church, and interment made in Steele’s cemetery. KEEFER-ELDER (Atkinson Graphic.) Mr. Ira Elder and Miss Dorothy Keefer were united in marriage at the bride’s home in Atkinson on Tuesday, at high noon, in the presence of im mediate relatives, by the Rev. W. H. Guest. Miss Helen Walrath sang a solo, “ ’Tis You, Just You,” accompanied on the piano by Miss Maudie Walrath. The bride was dressed in tan canton crepe and the groom in the conven tional black, attended by Perry Elder, brother of the groom, and Iva Keefer, sister of the bride. The very impres sive double ring ceremony was used. Dinner was served to the wedding party at one o’clock, after which Mr. and Mrs. Elder started on their honey moon, to Lincoln, and other points within the state. The little Red Racer had the honor of spiriting them away, amply decorated with chalk marks such as “newly married,” etc., and sup ply of tin cans entrailing, joyously breaking the news to all passers-by in no uncertain tones. Mr. and Mrs. Elder are natives of this community, graduates of the At kinson school, and held in high esteem by all who know them. The con gregatulations and the best wishes of a host of friends will find a way of ex pression upon their return. FOR SALE OR TRADE.

The usual procedure, when flour mills become Infested with the Mediter ranean moth, the larvae of which get Into the flour, Is to close the mill tight ly and “gas" the Insects. Last winter a mill at Wllliston, N. D., however, re quested the local weather bureau office to notify the company whenever a tem perature of 20 degrees or lower for at least several hours could be antici pated. As soon as weather sufficiently cold was forecast, the company put out all fires and opened doors and win dows. That night the temperature reached 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and did not go above 17 degrees Fahrenheit thf next day. According to the report of the company to the United States De partment of Agriculture, through the weather bureau, all moths and most of the eggs were frozen, and the process will not have to be repeated for at least two years. Many dollars’ worth of chemical Insecticides which would have beep necessary for “gassing’’ were saved. Once More Extended. It Is certain that the limits of Lake Erie and Lake Michigan were once more extended than now. It Is reason ably probable, say students of the subject, that some of the territory now drained by the Wabash and Illinois; rivers was once covered by the waters of Lake Michigan. The cisco t*f Lake Tippecanoe, Lake Geneva, and the lakes of the Oconomowoc chain Is evidently a modified descendant of the so-called lake herring. Its origin most likely dates fr< m the time when these small deep lakes of Indiana and Wis consin were connected with Lake Mich igan. Several oi the larger fishes,; properly characteristic of the Great Lakes region, ara occasionally taken In the Ohio river. Confirmed Bachelor Shad. The shad in the Farmington river in Connecticut are all bachelors, in the opinion of the fish and guine commis sion of that state. Effort has been made for some time to obtain shad eggs for experimental purposes, and the constant report from one of the best fishing grounds was that only buck shad were obtainable. Then the super intendent of fisheries decided to do some fishing himself. He hud a force of men spread nets and when they were drawn in, all the shad were bucks. Once more the net was spread and drawn In, this time with but little more success, one female, or roe shad, being caught. Get your Sale Bills printed here.

U no YOU mean to fay there If ne L-' train out of this deserted vil lage tor five hours'?” "No, madam,” replied the agent. "isn t there any possible way of my getting to Vernon before that?” The agent shook Ids head. The “deserted village” was Harris Junction, and It or its counterpart will be familiar to anyone who has ever traveled In the Middle West There was a small hotel labeled “Junction House.” “There is an automobile in front of that house. Do you think its owner would drive me to Vernon?” “\y ell, you can ask him,” said the agent, doubtfully. She crossed thf dusty street In the glaring sun, leaving four other travel ers, who ware also waiting for the live-hour-old train. One of these was a very attractive young woman, who showed great sym pathy with tlie older woman when she came back from her animated talk with the man across the street, with a slightly dejected expression. "Oh, I’m so sorry you were not suc cessful.” The abler woman's face brightened at this sign of friendliness. She In troduced herself as Mrs. Black, from New York, and started to tell her troubles. “Well, of all the obstinate mem! Would you believe it, Miss—," she hesitated. “Mrs. Carlton.” “Would you believe It, Mrs. Carl ton? That mgn actually refuses to budge out of this junction unless he Is called on a case- He Is a doctor and has located here because it Is the center of his district, and he feels it Uls duty to be always on cull. 1 of fered to pay him most liberally. It in only 35 miles to Vernon aud he wouldn’t be gone forever." ‘Ta It awfully important that you should get there at once?’’ “Well, I am very anxious to do so. Of course, It’s not a life and death affair, but I am going to visit my mother, and I haven’t seen her In yearn It is to be a complete surprise. She has no idea I’m coming, and it’s such a bore waiting here. I think the doctor might make an exception In my case, even If it is his rule never to leave except on a case. By the way, are you going In my direction?” “Yes, to Winston, the next station beyond Vernon.” “Oh, I have an Idea. Why don’t you tell the doctor you are going to visit l&ick relative? Em sure he would go for anything important, and then I can go along, too. Will you?” She paused expectantly. Mrs. Carlton blushed in embarrass ment and perplexity. It was plainly to be seen that she Ad not want to do It, and yet she hated to refuse. “Oh. well, if you have a New Eng land conscience, you are excused.’’ "Well, I am from New England, hut I’m afraid my conscience Isn’t that variety, for It was not inborn, as the good old New England conscience should be.” “That sounds Interesting. Won’t you tell hie about It?” “Why, It’s my whole life story, but perhaps I can tell it brleily. I always went through life in a careless, happy go-lucky way. I never thought 1 was exactly selfish, and I don’t think my friends did, either. But I always wanted to do as I pleased without re strictions. “Naturally, when the war came, and Jim and I were married, I thought 1 had to be permitted to go to France, where I would be able to see him whenever he could get a leave of ab sence, although I knew that there was an Iron-bound rule ugalnst soldiers’ wives going overseas. So I got across, and soon after, Jim came. But us fate had it, t never saw him once. He was wounded in his very first bat tle und invalided home. “1 learned I W’as only one individual cog In the universal machine, and important as my affairs might seem to me to be, they were really Insignificant. “I made a vow then and there that I would play the game strictly accord ing to rules after that, and never claim exemptions from inconveniences, re sponsibilities or actual hardships." Just as her story ended, they were startled by cries from the roml, where there hud been a slight automobile ac cident. The dottor rushed from his side of the road and Mrs. Carlton rushed from hers. The others fear lng they would be In the way, stayed w’here they were and wotehed anxious ly as a woman was being carried into the doctor’s house. The others were uninjured. soon Mrs. unnton came name. ‘‘Nothing serious. One woman was bruised a little and we bandaged her up. But she has a very weak heurt, and the shock might have proved fatal hud there been no doctor pres ent to give the proper stimulant. But as It Is, she Is all right." Mrs. Bluck turned pale as she real ized there would have been no doctor present If she had had her way. ‘‘Mr. and Mrs. Gregory and their friend, who was hurt, are from Ver uon, so you will have a chance to go by machine, after all, and you will still save three hours.” “Mr. and Mrs. Gregory? Why, they ure friends of—J' Then, In a fright ened voice, "Who was the woman with them?" "A Mrs. Walker, I think." “Mother!"

For three years she had been unable to pass the examination in arithmetic, hut her paper got the highest mark in the class. Domenico's teacher had spent many a long hour trying to drill some of the elements of mathematics Into Domenlca’s consciousness, and when she had corrected the arithmetic pa lters and had discovered that Doroen icu stood highest in grade she called for Domenica. "Domenica,” she said, with a flush of pleasure that was as much her owp as It was for Domenica, "you have won the highest mark in the class in arithmetic this year.” "Well, Miss Jones,” Domenica con fessed, and there was a look of warp regard in her eyes for the teacher, “the last three years I prayed before my examination. This year I studied.” The Frontier, only $2.00 per year. - ——-— The Frontier, only $2.00 per year. The Frontier for Sale Billa. TOURING CAR New Price F. O. B.
