every owner of a horse to exercise

of Greenacres, Wash, were guests at

of last week. 1t is two wears since
the Schoenweathers left their old
home north of Lake Preston for their
new location in Washington. They
have only spent n winter there, how
ever, as they came back last November
for a visit with their son and daughter
and will not return to Washington for
a couple weeks Meantime they will
make a visit to their daughter, Mrs.

After concluding that visit they will
proceed to their home in Washington.

which is just enough to keep him out
of mischief and in good health. They
like the west county quite well, but it
is evident they think this county is
all right or they would not come back
to spend the winter. Old friends in
De Smet and vicinity were glad to-
see them.
