This morning saw the departure OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w. =. Hassler, who have
decided to cast their fortunes with
the good people of Livingston and
make that place their future home.
Mr.. Hassler has been appointed to
the responsible position OF business
manager of the Post and expects TO
enter upon the discharge OF his new
duties in a day or two. During the
wears Of their residence in Billings
Mr.. and Mrs. Hassler have made many
Marm friends and admirers and they
. will be missed, particularly in church
circles. in which both have been act
i've workers and have contributed
much to the success OF the society
with which they have been identltled.
After giving the matter further
thought. it has been decided not to
have an "Alfalfa Palace at the state
fair as a part of Yellowstone county's
exhibit, Instead requisitiOn ha been
made by Commissioner George for
3 a in agricultural hall for the DIS
; iplay the county will make. Alfalfa,
> however, will be largely used in the
way of decorative effect, as present in
tentions are to construct an enclosure
of the forage, utilizing the plant fol
forming the walls and roof OF a pagods
e like structure. Mr.. Gardner, n gen
tleman whose artistic work attracted
q so much attention at the local 1alr
will probably be employed to supefln
v tend construction of the proposed
o booth. Y
