HARVEST IN
FULL BLAST
Crops Are in Fine Condition and
Yield Will Be Large Beach
To Be Large Grain Point

Harvest is now in full blast
throughout the Golden Valley
and the weather conditions have
been excellent the past week for
reaping our bumper crop. Wheat
and oats are ripening fast and the
yields will be enormous this year.
The wind of a week ago did some
damage to the ripe oats and wheat
but the grain was not far enough
along to be the cause of any great
alarm. Fax this year is excep-
tionally good and the yields will be
away above the average of the
past few years. No flax has been
cut as yet but next week the harvest
of flax will commence.
j. A little oats has been threshed
out here and there for feed and all
report big yields, but not enough
has been threshed to give any idea
as. to what the general yield will
be. Many look for as high as 100
bushels to the acre of oats, and
any amount Of flax fields are esti-
mated to run from Is to 20 bushels
to the acre. The wheat will be
above the average and will prob.
ably run on an average between 25
and 80 bushels while there are
fields that will no doubt run as
hiuh as dO h,,cholc
Grain men have estimated that
over a million bushels of grain
will be marketed in Beach alone.

YOUNG COUPLE
HAPPILY WE'D
Freeman Whitaker and Miss Isabel
Patrick Surprise Friends By
Becoming Cupid's Victims

Last Wednesday evening at five
O'Clock happy event took place
in Beach at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. w. Patrick. On this glad
occasion their elder daughter,
Isabel, was married to Freeman E.
Whitaker. The young couple had
gone about the affair so quietly
and stealthily that their most in
innate friends were taken by sur
prise, coming like a thunder bolt
from a clear sky. But the preach
er was there, so was the license
and they were speedily united in
the holy bonds Of matrimony by
Rev. Alex Douglas.
At the close of the ceremony q
sumptious supper was served to
which all did ample justice and en-
joyed themselves amid wit and
merriment. The happy couple
left the same evening for South
Dakota where they will spend a
couple of weeks with friends and
relatives. On their return they
will take up their abode in Beach
and Mr.. Whitaker will assist
Mr.. Patrick in the Farmers Ele-
vator.
The happy pair are we'll known
in this community and are highly
respected. Friends have they who
are many and true. These all join
with the Chronicle in exending to
them hearty congratulations and
best wishes for a long, happy and
prosperous voyage on the matri-
