received word from Washington, D.

active in club work in this state and

The 8O-mile stretch of wheat
country from the Highwood
mountains to Chester on the
north within the last five or six
years has seen a big influx of
women homesteaders, and inter-
mingled with the stories of their
successes are threads of ro-
nance.
There is the story of Maud
Miller, who, like the Maud
Muller OF poetic fame, was
reared on a farm. Until few
years ago her home was in Chi
cago and it was there, accord
ing to the story current in High
wood, that she met an electrician
who proposed to Join fortunes
with her. This seemed all right
until they compared notes and
realized that the union of their
capital-his earning capacity as
an electrician and his meager
savings and her modest bank ac-
count-would fall far short of
providing them with the home of
their dreams.
Miss Miller had heard of Mon
tana and the money to be made
from land to be had virtually
for the asking. She suggested
that he stay in Chicago and save
his wages while she went to the
Treasure state to file on 32O
acres of Uncle Sans domain.
He consented to this and Miss
Miller obtained a homestead
three miles from HighwOod.
Three years later Miss Miller
proved up her homestead and
sent to Chicago for her sweet
heart, who came west on the
first train to claim her as his
bride. For six months the cou-
pie lived together on the ranch.
Then, a few weeks ago, they
sold their holding for $4,000

Then there is the story of the

stead near Glasgow. When they
had proved up their homestead
they found they were possessed
of an estate that would make
them comfortable for life, but
they were not satisfied - they
longed to be really rich. And
they found the way. They were
