poration no stock will be issued, the
corporation will be nonproft-making

through the distributors has one vote

bid for the tonnage of the Okanogan.

ALL IN THE FAMILY.
jonathan Said So, and His Wife Final
ly Agreed With Him.


One day in spring, when Jonathan
Higgs was ready to drive into town,
his wife gave him $35 that she had
been saving for months from her
butter and egg money.
Go to the furniture store" she
said, "and get the new parlor car
pet. They know the one, for | had
them lay it away for me a month
ago."
All day Mrs. Higgs went about
her work singing. But when Jona-
than came there was no roll Of car
pet. Instead, hitched to the back
of the wagon, was new cultivator.
81 found just the cultivator |
needed" he explained glibly. 81
didn't think | could afford to get it
until you gave me that $35."
"But my carpet?" His wife's
eyes were wet, and her lip trem-
bling.
ooh, the old one'll do" he said.
"What's the use of spending money
for a carpet? 1t amt good to eat,
and it don't make you any money.
Now that cultivator will make me a
hundred bushels more corn"
"But it was my money" Tears at
her disappointment and her hus-
bands injustice could not be kept
back any longer.
ooh, pshaw," said Jonathan light
ly, cts all in the family"
The old carpet was full of holes,
SO Mrs. Higgs tore it up and left the
floor bare all summer. But Jona-
than did not mind. The crops were
good, and one day in the fall Mrs.
Higgs and one of the girls went to
town to buy supplies.
The farmer wrote check for
$3.50 and gave it to his wife
MARIA" he said, 'get this cashed
at the bank; then go to the hard
ware store, pay them 800 and tell
them to send out that gasoline en-
CINE they were showing me. 1t is
too hard work for me and the boys
to pump water for all the stock
this winter. And stop at the cloth
ing store and tell Mr.. Jones to send
me that suit l tried on. And you
can pay that account at the grocery
store too"
1t was dark when Mrs. Higgs and
Mary drove up that evening, and
when Jonathan went out he was
astonished to see new buggy trail
ing behind the wagon. And there
were other things that gave him a
further shock.
'Maria," he asked sharply, "did
you order that engineer
mo"
"Did you get my suit? ?"
"No." She handed the lines to
one of the boys. "Nor I didn't pay
the grocery account" she said cool
ly. "You can't eat suit nor a
gasoline engine nor receipted bill,
and they don't make you any money.
| got a new buggy to save wear ON
the wagon, a new parlor carpet that
will save coal by keeping the floor
warmer, and a new range that'll
cook food right. And I got a new
churn and lot of kitchen things
to help me and the girls do the
work-they will keep us from wear
ing out and save funeral expenses"
'But it was my money" gasped
the amazed Jonathan.
ooh, yes" said Maria lightly, "but
it's all in the family. Take hold
here, and you and the boys get these
things unloaded."
There was something SO resolute
in her tone that he took hold and
held his tongue. = Youths Com
panion.

TO APPRECIATE CLIMATE ONE

STRICKEN WEST

R. X. Smith, vice-president and gen
eral manager of the Mississippi Cen
tral Railroad, has returned from an
extended trip through the North and
West.
| speaking of drouth conditions in
the West Mr.. Smith said that for
eleven days while he was in Kansas
the thermometer during the day ran
about one hundred. One day while
he was in Kansas City it was reported
that the excess cattle receipts for the
day, were over 10000 head The in
crease being due to the rushing of cat
tie from the drouth section, in order
to prevent their entire loss by death
on the plains. These cattle not being
in demand were sold at low figures and
because of their poor condition were
rushed off and slaughtered as can
ners."
Mr Smith is enthusiastic over the
superiority Of the climatic conditions
prevailing in South Miss. when com
pared with those Of the drouth stricken
West, and thinks that only by suffer
ing the inconvenience and discomfort
of a personal visit can one from this
section fully appreciate the great ad-
vantages possessed by this section

INTERESTING SUIT
BEFORE JUSTICES
COL. lEVERETT WINS SUIT FOR
PEACE OF PROPERTY BOUGHT
AT TAX SALE.

A suit for unlawful detainer in which
]. NJ. Leverett was plaintiff and Ander-
son Aylesbury defendant, heard by
Justices Farley, Powe and Greer, sit
ting en-banc Tuesday afternoon, re-
suited in a judgment in favor of the
plaintiff for the lot sued for with an
assessment of six dollars month rent
in his favor from April 3, 1913, to date.
This suit grows out of tax title
acquired April 8, 1913, by Mr.. Leveritt
for property bought by him two years
before at tax sale.
Testimony was introduced to show
that the old negro man, Aylesbury
bought the lot in September previous
to the tax sale mentioned and had no
knowledge of his liability for taxes for
the year of his purchase and also that
he never received notice that his lot
had been sold for taxes for that year.
Prior to April 3, 1913, Aylesbury built
a dwelling on the lot and subsequent
thereto he was notified by Col. Lever
EFT that he had acquired title to the
property and was directed to vacate !;
failing to do so, suit was brought with
result stated.
Just prior to the rendering of a
judgment by the justices, the defend
ant moved the dwelling he had built
with the idea if he had to lose his lot
he did not at the same time want to
lose the house he had built thereon.

plaintiff, r. ]. Bishop and Hearst q
