 What mistake was that?" inquired Matthieu, with sympathy.
 "Why, she married an American, who was-the less we say about him the better. The point is, Alice is half American, and she is crazy about American men. That's why I had to send her to Paris five years ago.
 You don't say!'
 And now it's man in prison. As soon as Mother Bonneton wrote me about it I saw I'd have to take the girl away again. 1 told her this morn ing she must pack up her things and go back to Brussels with me, and that made the trouble. She knew I had my eye on her. so she got this priest to help her.

In this conquest of the air France has earned a glory of which nothing can deprive her. After all the foolish talk about French decadence it is re- freshing to see the aspiring germs of France soaring triumphant into un- travelled heights.

France may be proud of what is happening at Betheny The spectacle is one full of reproach to ourselves, but we do not grudge France her glory.

terest to be found over there
1t would appear from this statement
that the western farmers are at last
getting on the top rung and are really
the kings of the situation. If they sell
hogs, a couple or three will bring them
in over 500 and if they sell chickens
or eggs they get a price for them that
would have taken their breath a few
years ago, but now they will pocket
the man who has delivered the goods
and got his money fer them. With
wheat at 81 a bushel and corn at so
cents, it is no wonder they are able to
take a trip to Europe. Heretofore
they have been contented to go back
east and visit with the folks they left
a number of years ago to make a for
tune in the west, and while for a few
years it was mighty hard shedding to
get along, they are now enjoying what
has been due them for some time.

Wigington came to Cove county in 1885.
He is president of the Farmers State
bank, a member of the city council
and manager of the Quinter Lumber
& Supply company; r. H. Samson
came here in 1888. He is member
of the city council, postmaster and
cashier of the State bank. e. d. Sam

& Implement company The town has
two elevators, two drug stores, news
paper, three general stores, two hard
ware and three implement firms. 1t
has a splendid school, hotel and res
taurants, and other smaller business
enterprises.
Some real estate transactions indi-
cate that farm lands in the vicinity OF
Quinter are increasing in value. w. H.
Wigington sold quarter section Of
unimproved land mile from town
for $4,000.
A quarter section six miles from
Ouinter was recently sold for $4,000.
Fifteen years ago it was an undesirable
tract, and literally covered with prairie
dogs In that time it had been sold
for taxes on two different occasions.
Many sales are being made of Cove
county lands, and land buyers are here
almost daily. The prospects for wheat
are good, and the corn acreage will be
large.
