ms crops were doing splendidly when
the hail came along. J. II. says this
is the fifth year Of his hard luck, four
OF them being put in in Minnesota,
but he is not discouraged. He has
great faith in this country and is GO
ing to stick until he wins out. That
is the proper spirit to display.

The many friends Of Miss Agnes
Hays. who for several weeks has been
quite i'll with intiammatory rheama-
tism. will be pleased to learn that she
Is now considerably improved in
health.
Frank Murray recently purchased
the Model bakery from Lane Il Wing.
Mr.. Murray has secured the services
OF Charley Johnson. an experienced
parity and bread cook of Minnesota,
who will take charge next Monday.
The Model has been doing large
business with the local people and
outside towns, and as Mr.. Murray will
maintain the high standard of the
products heretofore produced, he will
have large trade to care for.
otto Thompson brought to the
journal office few days ago samples
OF flax. timothy and clover grown on
his place. a short distance from town.
which are indeed revelation. The
timothy is four feet long and the flax
is ~ inches in length. The red clover
stem is over two feet long with II
fully developed blossoms on it. There
has been some doubt as to the clover
and flax doing we'll in this soil, but
there is no doubt in otto Thompson's
mind now
Owing to the fact that not enough
members of the Sod Busters team put
in their appearance last Sunday to
constitute regular nine. two teams
were chosen by Ed Plepho and Red
Fnlsom. The outcome was some
thing ridiculous. G. NJ. Barrow act
ed as umpire for five innings, No
partiallity was shown in his work
the decisions being equally rotten on
both sides. Ii. NJ. Hanson then UNI
pired an inning-wlich broke up the
game. The feature Of the perform
ance was the consistent playing done
by l.. l.. Wood. Of course Sturgeon.
Bills, Chris Hanson, Folsom and
Duke did the best they could. The
score was II to ? in favor Of "Red's"
team.
The ways of these mysterious peace
officers are past finding out. They
slip ont OF your sight for few days
and return with long face and sill
ent tongue, and you will never know
it they were after horse thief or a
bride until it is too late to make IL
fresh news item. Now there is Deputy
Sheriff Ed. Taylor. No better fellow
ever lived. Ever since his appoint
ment to the important Office which he
so ably fills, the journal man has
been trying to teach him that his
most important duty is to divulge to
the newspaper man every move he
makes so that the news columns Of
the Journal may fairly reek with
startling adventures in which the
deputy would figure as the shining
hero. But all in vain. He will not
listen to reason, but goes about his
duties, whether police or social, in a
mysterious way, after the fashion of
all sleuths, and will not take the
editor. hungry for news, into his con-
tidence until the item is stale and I'M
profitable. But notwithstanding this
glaring fault, we love him still-very
still--which is his normal condition.
This leads us up to what we started
in to say-but almost forgot. About
two months ago the deputy sheriff
made one of his mysterious getaways
and was absent about three days.
Upon his return he was as mum as an
oyster. 1t has just now developed
that during that absence he went to
Spokane and was married to Il very
estimable lady Of that .city- Miss
Evelin Cole. Last Saturday he dis
appeared again, and on Sunday he
returned all dressed up with his
charming bride. She met him in
Great Falls. The Journal lays up
another score against Ed for allowing
it to get scooped on an important
news item, but extends it's hearty
congratulations to Mr.. and Mrs.
Taylor, and hopes they will enjoy ii
long life of nnalloyed bliss. They
have taken up house keeping in the
home on Eds ranch, which adjons
