An unusual sight an evening last
week. With a full moon hung to
the south a rainbow curved across
I a clear space in the otherwise

a picture in the original of the
beauty spread by the brush of na

An airplane droned across the

notrth by northeast. A search for
the beys’ field glasses to get a
clpser view disclosed that they had
probably taken ? them tp the lake

kany in this community were
grieved to learn of the sudden
death at Atkinspn of Mr. McMin
des. He was the ring manager at
the Weller sale pavillion and had
no equal as a judge of horses.
Quick and alert he made an ideal
ring manager for a sale and his
sudden takjng off is greatly, to be
regretted.

Whether the joke is on the writ

across the corner may be tossing
his! sombrero and big boot(S to the
discard and assume the role of an
M. ; D. since being referred to in
thi^ column as doctor. We thought
we jhad written his name De Lance,
but] somehow it appeared Dr. Lance
andj'now maybe the neighbors will
feel justified in addressing our ex

Lester Thompson got enough of
Canadian agricultural opportuni

wealth of our grass-covered prair

was enclosed with the letter, John

price compared to its value as a
producer even in dry seasons. A
valley on both sides of the creek,
slightly rolling towards the stream,
where there is one of the nicest
artificial lukes in the county. The
lake is privately owned and. is
known as Cotton lake, and is filled
with trout. The lake adjoins Pete’s
land. It is fed by immense springs
and comprises about four acres of
deep fresh water.
Trespassing notices appear from
all angles but the temptation to
examine the construction was too
great to resist. The construction
appeared simple. The water is ob
structed to a certain height with a
cement dam reinforced with a dike
on the outside ond, course gravel on
the inside, tapering back pretty
well into the lake. The spillway
and the chute are made of cement,
and protected by a wire mesh to
avoid the loss of trout over the
dam. They say freshets have no
effect on the lake as it is several
feet above the stream.
It is as nice a resort as theie is
in the county, but could be dupli
cated several pluces along our own
streams that once abounded with
trout and with no notices visable
for those who happened along.
Next we went over and viewed
the crops that looked very nice,
compared to what we have had for
several years, but owing to the
general crop prospect being good,
the attraction was not so strong.
When we passed thru a huge grove
where the dense foliage and vines
almost obliterating the sunlight,
where raspberries and choke cher
ries and other wild fruit grew in
among the native trees, it was a
treat for anyone who enjoys na
ture’s handiwork.
The man that used to own this
place, 1 understand, was a fellow
by the name of Sehaff, an old
timer, I suppose. As it looks to
me he spent a small fortune on im
provements and owing to a condi
tion caused by a general depres
sion, lost out like a good many
others, thru no fault of their own,
and had to surrender it after a
good deal of worry and discomfort.
It looks to me as if this man made
a wonderful attempt to provide
and establish a comfortable and
commodious home for himself and
family, and deserves a good deal of
credit.
The buildings are all well plan
ned and substantially built. The
house almost new, 28 by 28, with a
basement. The horse barn is 24 by
36 by 14. There are two large
cattle barns, combination crib and
granary, two hog houses with pens
and alleys, a double garage, two
windmills and two large hen
houses. With a half section of
land and this equipment, I’ll ven
ture to say that Pete doesn’t in
tend to live in a trailer for some
time to come. ***

NO MATTER how you classify your
expenditures for car up-keep —
it’s your total expenditure that counts.
How much “dollar mileage” is your car
giving you?
Dollars do go farther in the Ford V-8.
Modern improved carliuretion gives you
unusual gasoline mileage with brilliant
V-8 performance. Most owners of today's
Ford change oil only every 2000 miles
and add none between changes.
And after the first few thousand miles
you begin to understand what Ford V-8
“dollar mileage” really means.
It gives you more miles per dollar be
cause it gives you all-round economy —
low first cost, low up-keep cost, low de
preciation and long life — as well as low
gasoline and oil consumption. All these
are big items if you aim to buy the most
economical car.
