Another Good Mother Called to the
Better Home Mrs. Maria A. Mayne.

Maria Antoineth, daughter of
Joseph and Elizabeth Hayden, was
born in Pike County, Missouri,
October 10, 1916. She was married
at Beetown, Grant County,. Wiscon-
sin, August 80, 1864 to William H.
Mayne and, resided there continuously
until her departure for the Better
Land, November g., 1914, aged SO
years and 20 days. Her husband
preceded her; December ID, 1908,
meeting his. death. at the hands of
one of the patients in the Grant
County Asylum =. He was much
1amented, having had many friends in
lBeetown where he had always re-
sided. And he had been for eleven
years we'll beloved and most
efficient attendant at the asylum.
The worthy couple. Were the parents
of seven .children-four sons and
three daughters-Joseph H! and
Willis e. of Dubuque, Iowa; Thomas
j. Waterloo township, Grant County,
CLARENCE A., residence Unknown;
Nellie, Mrs. Edward Perrin, }
Ethel, (Mrs. Writ Kilby) and Birdie,
MRS. VIM. Noblel all-zsofs-zBeetown.
All survive with twenty four grand
children and two great grand-chil
dren and many friends to mourn the
loss of the good mother. viDemise

daughter, Mrs. Noble, after most
painful illness of five weeks. All
that loyal love of the sons and daugh-
tiers could suggest combined with
trained nursing and, skilled attention
was done ..tol alleviate !. the great
suffering and prolong the dear life.
But all human effort was unava ling

Uncomplaining she had always been,
sweetly accepting each days burdens
with its joys, solicitous for the
happiness and we'll being of all about
her, she accepted the inevitable with
calmness and with the trust of a.
child, growing dearer to the children.
with each fast fading day.
Like a ray of beautiful sunshines

and the music of tinkling stream,
and a rosy contented mother with.

those are by gone years. That old

has passed into, decay, and now only
memory remains. And may the
memory of so kind and gentle a
mother lead the children one by one

divers Old Home
Town Gives Boost

The following from the Montrose,
/ Missouri, Recorder, followed the
Pioneers article commenting on the
election of Honest Chas. Oliver, and
shows conclusively that the Pioneer
4 was right in supporting Chas. Oliver
for county commissioner at the re-
cent election. We always did know
that Charlie was the right man and
now we know that he was the best
man, too. Once again we cannot re-
train from exclaiming, Hurrah for
Honest Chas. Oliver
The Chas. Oliver referred to in the
above article is none other than the
Chas. the son of our highly respect
ed citizen Henry Oliver, who was
born on a farm near Montrose, Mo-,
April l3, 1879. and who until some
llVe years ago was highly respect
ed citizen of this vicinity. He was
married here Jan. 2S, 1909 to Miss
Edna Doud, and lived on his fathers
farm one year after his marriase,
going from here to Montana where
he now has fine farm. and the
above article explains his success
in part in that country.
Honest Chas. Oliver Had the
editor OF the Pioneer searched the
best edition of Webster he could not
have found more fitting word. BY
living an upright life, and by square
dealing with his fellow men he has
succeeded in fulfilling the duties OF
County Commissioner in his county
for one term so we'll, that the people
said yes we want Oliver, and have
reelected him for another term of
six years
The Recorder editor has never
had the pleasure Of meeting Mr.. OF
lver, but is glad, with his many
friends here, to hear that he has
made good and that he has gained
the confidence of his people, which
he SO richly deserves
In conclusion let us say to the Pi-
oneer man and the people Of Wibaux
county. Montana have made no mis-
take in electing a man like Chas.
Oliver and as time moves on when
you will wonder at there being a
single vote against him. We know
not to what political party Mr.. Oil
yer belongs, and care Iess--its the
man that counts and Mr.. Oliver is
man all over.
Let, us say with the Pioneer
Hurrah for Oliverl

When you stop to consider the a.
mount Of mineral elements removed
each year by various crops, and that
these same mineral elements are alb
solutely essential in the production
OF big crops you can readily see that
1t is necessary to returnsome form
of fertilizers to the land.
The above table shows that a
heavy drain upon the fertility of the
soil is caused by each crop, and yet
we seldom stop to think about this
fact until the annual yields to COM
mence to show a decline. Yet it is
qniet common occurrence to see a
man hauling his manure out and
and dumping it over a creek bank
or into some hole, while if he ap-
piled it to his land each year he
would tend to balance this drain
of fertilizing elements, and at the
same time put his soil in better ply
sicial condition.
It may look like a Dig expenditure
Iof money to buy manure spreader
but any man who has used one would
not get along with out it, and it will
not require many seasons to more
than pay for one in added returns
from the land The old system of
hauling out and scattering manure
by hand is not only slow but less eff
'fective because it ishard to secure an
equal distribution, and usually
where this method is used the fer
tlllzer goes over some creek bank
or some other equally useles place
With spreader man can regu-
late the amount per acre and Sc
cure equal distribution over all
parts of the field
1t would be hard to estimate how
much manure goes to waste every
year on the farms of Montana. and
yet this constant drain OF essen
tial plant food elements continues.
Eventually this will mean small
= iSiuS pei acre ana an INFERIOR
grade OF crops. Why not begin now
to lessen this danger by maintain
ing the present fertilityof your land
and gradually building it up? The
results OF experiments conducted at
the Rothamsted fields in England
for aperiod of fifty years show con
clusiyely that barn yard manure
gave as good results as any CONNER
cial fertilizer used SO why not prof
ut from these data and maintain the
present fertility of your land with
fertilizers at hand instead of allow
ing the soil to become deplected
until it is necessary to build it IN
again with expensive commercial
fertilizers? You cannot expect the
wonderful producing powers of yolr
land to remain forever without some
replenishment to balance the heavy
drain caused by the continuous croD-
ping every year.--J C.Taylor. Agri-
cuiturist for Dawson County.

Tor other towns to follow. We

one going the rounds Of the

them to the Ford factory,
along with a request that they
be made into an auto. A week

Bar Association
Cave Banquet

At the Jordan Hotel at Glen
dive, Montana, on Saturday
evening, November %, 1914,
the Glendive Bar Association
gave banquet to the members
OF the Bar and Of the Four.
teenth Legislative Assembly
OF the Seventh judicial Dis
ltrict, State Of Montana. There
were thirty-three present;
twenty six lawyers, five Legis-
lators and two representatives
of the press, with E. 2. Leiper
presiding. A delightful ban
Ipuet was served.
The meeting was called for
the purpose of organizing a
permanent Bar Association
for the Seventh judicial Dis
trlct and for the purpose Of
discussing matters of interest
to the lawyers of the said Dis
trict, or obtaining another
Judge to help the present over
crowded condition Of affairs.
Owing to the creation of the
new counties the work of
Judge Hurley has increased
greatly, until Judge Hurley
finds himself unable to attend
to all the judicial matters Of
this District and is in need Of
some relief. It seemed to Be
the consensus Of opinion that
something ought to be done
Immediately to relieve the
over crowded condition.
a committee Of five was
chosen to take a straw ballot
Of all the lawyers in the Seven
tn judicial District for the
purpose Of ascertaining their
opinion and choice in the mat
ter. Two propositions were
suggested; the one being the
obtaining Of another Judge in
this District, and the other.
the dividing Of the present
District into two.
A committee of three was
appointed to draft Bylaws
and the Constitution for the
Bar Association. The follow
lng officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, Fl. J.
Haskell, Glendive; Vice-Presi-
dent, c. II. Loud, Miles City,
Recording Secretary, George C
Hanson, Glendive; Financial
Secretary, Desmond O'Neil,
Glendive.
The next meeting of this
Bar Association will undoubt-
edly be held at Miles City.
Every county in the Judi
clal District was represented,
Wibaux County being repre-
sented by Hon. J. W. Hawks
and Attorney Stephen J.
l4eahy. Both Of these gentle
men report that the Glendivc
Bar are certainly royal enter
tainers.
