The. Monde ! ! 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.

nic lasfc Friday night in the
apartments of Mr. and Mrs.
James K Hcrrnon.
The members appeared in
picnic apparel ; brought an up-
to-date piccic supper , which
hey ate in picnic style. The
guests quite accidently and cer
tainly unintentionally developed
a taste for coal oil. Query , was
John D" again tampering with
the stuff or was the store clerk
responsible for the mixup ?
The members agree that an
ndoor picnic is quite as much
port as an outdoor one. Earl
NJolyneaux aud Homer Rupert
were guests of the club.

' R. H , THOMPSON , Pastor.
The W. F. M. S , of the M. E.
church held their first social
meeting and supper for this year
at the home of Mr. aud Mrs.
Staplctou , Thursday afternoon ,
November 18. 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. How
ever our treasury was increased
several dollars. Our next social
meeting without the supper will
be Thurseay. December 16. The
meeting for the study of the les
son will be December 2nd.

Rev. J. L. Hedbloom will be
gin a scries of evangelistic meet
ings in the Baptist church next
Sunday morning , November 28th ,
All arc cordially invited to these
services. 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

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 ,
