MCCORMICK RECEPTION.
Distinguished Visitors Entertained in
Daniel Boone Cabin.

In times past Billings society has
participated in events noted for origin
nality and elegance of appointment,
and sincere enjoyment of all in at
tendance; yet, perhaps, eve before
has one excelled in these respects
the reception and dance given last
night by Mr.. and Mrs. Paul McCor-
mick at the Daniel Boone cabin. The
object of the affair was to afford the
people Of the city an opportunity to
meet Mr.. Frederick Billings and Mr..
and Mrs. Kilner in a social way. The
guests, who numbered about $50, be-
gan arriving about 8 O'Clock, and be-
held a brilliant and inviting scene.
The cabin never looked more attrac-
tive. In addition to the usual decora-
tons of red, white and blue, the cell
ing and one entire end of the room
was gracefully draped with fishnet,
between the meshes of which shone
miriads of electric lights. An effec-
tive background was formed by an
immense pyramid Of potted plants.
Others were also arranged about the
walls of this picturesque room, many
queer shaped Indian barbets peeping
out of which were autumn vines and
leaves with their brilliant foliage.
No less attractive than the cabin
itself was the large wall tent which
stood under the trees a few feet away
from the cabin door, and which af-
forded an inviting retreat for those
weary of dancing, or not caring to
participate in any particular number.
The walls were hung with beautiful
Turkish rugs, and about it was a
rare collection of Indian curios. There
were divans, rocking chairs, cushions
and comfortable seats in number. A
Turkish table stood in the center,
above which was suspended an orien-
tai lamp. Hidden in it's center, how
ever, was an electric jet, the light Of
which, subdued by the oriental colors
of the lamp, cast a s%oftening glow
over the artistic surroundings.
The small room at the rear end Of
the cabin was set apart by Turkish
draperies, and within were tables and
comfortable chairs, where those who
did not care to dance might enjoy a
social game of whist. This room
was prettily, decorated with a pro-
fusion of sweet peas and many hued
asters.
Increasing the effectiveness of the
exquisite decorations were the beau
tiful gowns of the ladies and the
sturdy western men in dress suits.
When the music struck up for the
first number there were as many
dancers as could be comfortably &C
commodated, and this amusement
was kept up until midnight when re-
freshments of salads. sandwiches,
pickles, doughnuts and coffee were
served. The host and hostess were
assisted during the evening by
Mesdames H. M. Allen, JAS. McCor-
mick and Miss May Mccormick.

that in view of the necessary postpone

as the yellow papers would have the
world think
This has been an unusual year for the
sale of farm machinery. especially har-
vesting machines. In the past. many
farmers have depended on the assistance
that their ncighbors could give them But
the frequent occasions when there has
been a lack of help and the consequent
loss Of grain has made them seek TO be
Independent. hence, as fast as they be
came able. they have equipped themselves
for the work. and many little towns have
sold from Sibtt5 10 $4,000 worth Of har-
vest machinery. not counting the sale Of
threshcrs and separators. which go rather
TO the contractors than TO the farmers.
The baby threshers' are. however, com

During the spring a great deal Of land
in the western part Of the State was sold
on a wheat basis for Eastern parties. The
arrangement was that the land was sold
for E5o cash and half the wheat after the
first crop until 1.5e0 to ], 40 bushels was
paid per quarter Section, 160 acres This
made the buyer safe against any possible
failure He might not he able TO pay for
the land in eight or ten years, there be-
ing no limit TO the time But If there
came good crops the land might be paid
for in one or two years, and the seller
would mus come out very well on the
sale The present good crop tends to
make this sort Of land sales popular. as
there is "a prospect fer better crops than
heretofore, owing partly 20 the better un-
derstauding Of the conditions and 10 The
seeming Improvement in climatic cOudi-
tions following the more general cultiva-
ton.
Along with the good crop the State is
planning TO encourage immigration. IT Is
figured that many viii be- disappointed by
the failure TO get claims in the new reseT-
walton in Oklahoma when the latter IS
opened. and the immigration bureaus are
planning 70 intercept taese home-seekeTs
with literature concerning the Opportuui-
ties offered by this State to new settlers.
The general effect Of the wheat crop VIII
be TO increase the good feeling in the

a larger and more substantial basis. 1t Is
