While Ranchman Will Creighton and
family we're absent at church last Sun
day morning some sneakthief entered
his home three miles northeast of town
and stole six dollars. The moral of
this experience is, not to stay home and
watch the casual six dollars, but to
take it along to church, drop as much
as the traffic will bear into the collec-
tion basket for safe keeping and so pre-
serve the rest.
Mrs. s. D. Lount returned on Sunday

in full possession of all his faculties and
| is so pleased with what he has seen of
the valley that he says he has nearly
decided to remain here and grow up
with the country.

Ranchman Alvin FulwiIer believes in
alfalfa. He says it will some day dis.
place eastern timothy hay, red top and

falfa certainly wipes out the need of
grain, keeping the horse in better con
dition and more satisfied with life thar
his eastern brother of lighter draugh
and more costly board. In hens, how
ever, Mr.. Fulwiler, who keeps 300 al
. wa9s on hand, finds that wheat ant
barley, in addition to alfalfa, more thai
. pay the extra expense thereof. This l
