Homestead Lands , We are receiving thousands of inquiries about the 320 acre free homestead lands available for settlers under the Mondell Act. These lands are located in Eastern Colorado and in Wyoming along the Burlington. The great advant age of this new homestead law is that the sttler is permittee to take up free , 320 acres instead of 100 acres , the largei tract being required under the new dry farming methods Northeastern Wyoming has from 1C to 21 inches of moisture and has produced some of the linest crops of small grains ever seen in the west. I personally conduct excursions o'n the first and thin Tuesday of each month to these lands , Write me foi special descriptive folders , literature , etc. Irrigated Lands in the Big Horn Basin These government irrigated lands are being fast taken up by settlers who realize the coming value of the Big lion Basin lands in view of the railroad development in Centra Wyoming. The LT. S. Land and Irrigation Exposition at Chicago Nov. 20 to Dec. 4th , will be of vital interest to the farmer. D.

The first hour was spent in social chat , fancy work and ministers must wear out socks as well as common people ple , the way Mrs. Thompson's fingers flew that hour. A mysterious missionary quix was conducted , Mrs. McCandlcss and Mrs. Stapleton received head- marks for the most questions answered. Then come the sup per in the kitchen. Mrs. A , Snydcr won the priae for meat and potatoe slicing , while Mcs- dames Penn and Barrett were a tie eating scalloped potatoes. Mesdamcs Pinckney aud Thorpe drank coffee for the cream and wonder why social suppers don't agree wish their sleeping hours , Mra. Prcttyman could wash more dishes in three minutes than the rest of could in ten. One of our brother-in-laws came out in the kitchen and thought it perfectly safe to talk to elderly homely ladies when his wife was looking but when talking to young good Inokiug ones he would rather she was in the din ing room eating potatoes.

Services will continue every evening until further notice. A very enjoyable social was given last Friday evening at the home of Mr. Chas. Wright by the young people of the Baptist church. The thought of the evening was ' "childhood. " The motto of the social was : "Back ward , turn backward O time in your flight , make me a child again just for tonight. " The formalities of the ordinary social gathering were thrown to the wind and many innocent child hood games were entered into by all and enjoyed by both old and young. Some of the- bachelors and maidens think that this kind of a gathering would not be out place again soon as it causes them to forget their wrinkles and and loneliness of their condition in the ebb tide of life , Each young lady wan dressed as near ly as possible to represent a girl in her teens , It is the opinion of the writer that some -of them looked better then than now. There were no "rats" in days ot yore. The young men represen ted , as best they could , their boyhood days , but looked more like men of colohial times. One young man represented a country spinster from Arkansas , whose crude ways aroused much mcrri- mctltl , The latter part of the evening some very excellent music was rendered , both instrumental and vocal. The enjoyment of the evening was well seasoned by a dainty luncheon served by the hostess. Presbyterian Church. On December 10th the women of the Presbyterian church will serve a chicken pic dinner at the Temple. In the afternoon will have on sale aprons and fancy articles of various kinds.

Shot at the Policeman. Night Policeman Draper had an expcricncclwith a stranger last Friday night about midnight which might have proven serious for him or the stranger. Early in the evening he received a tele phone from Ravenna describing a man and requesting him to ar rest such a person. A short time after receipt of the message he went into Wait's pool room and saw a man who answered the description. The man noticed the shield on Elmer's coat when he entered the room and inquir ed of bystander if he was the "bull ? " Upon being informed that it waa he moved toward the door and stepped out into the night. Elmer followed and called for him to halt but the ellow fired a shot and started to run. Elmer unlimbercd his trusty gun in short meter and threw a couple of shots in the direction which he thought the fellow was going and followed him , firing another shot when down near the 13. & M. yards bu- could not overtake him. Later he went to a hotel where he learned the fellqw had stopped he evening before and took possess ion of a fur coat and saddle which the stranger had left there and which is being held for the owner. Monday it was learned that a stranger answering the description of the man stopped at Kooger's northeast of town and said he had ran away from home and was keeping away from railroad and telephone lines that he might not be found and taken back. As the matter now stands Elmer is ahead a fur coat and the stranger is ahead of the of ficers , whatever his crime might be , B. W.
