sT>HE best thing you can do for yourself right now is
l. to take an interest in the Mogul SIG kerosene
tractor, and find out from headquarters just what kind
Of a machine it is, and what it will do for you. This
is headquarters the place where you can get reliable,
accurate information. Come in and see the tractor, ard
get the facts about its record, the work it does, and the
money it saves. We still have a few copies Of the loo-paze
book entitled Farm Power" that answers every question
YOU can ask about farm power work and costs, and that con-
tains some eye openers for farmers who are doing all .!-:s
fSd work with horses. We would like to put one Of l.. :e
books in your hands, because we believe it will poi7t out
s~me new and interesting ways to increase your net z4>-l.a

The friends OF Mrs. Y. B. niehl
IN Scotland were shocked last
Thursday on receiving p message
from her stating thai her youngest
daughter, Catherine, aged about
eight years, bad died at Butte,
Mont Mrs. nishl and her daugh-
Ter have been spending the winter
III Arizona and California. On
their way home they came by way
Of Montana 10 visit the family OF
Mrs. Diehl's brother. While visit
lug a niece in Butte, little Gather
Inc was taken with diphtheria and
died, Ths remains were brought
TO Mitchell for burial, the funeral
being held Sunday. Mrs. Reeves
and Mrs. koobs, of this place, |
went 80 Mitchell to attend the fu.
neral. That affections never come
singly seems to be holding true In
the Diehl family. 1t was less than
s year ago that MIR. Diehl died very
suddenly and now the youngest of
the family is taken. The sympa-
thy of friends cannot drive away
the sorrow Of such an occasion, but
such consolation as it can furnish
Is freely given.
Last Sunday was the most dis
agreeable day that we have had
this spring. The temperature was
about ninety degrees and the wind
was fierce. The people ate dust,
drank dust, breathed dust and
wore dust and everything seemed
to indicate the speedy fulfillment
of the prophesy, "Dust thou art
and unto dust shalt thou return
The wind got under a corner of the
tin roof OF the New York Store and
but for prompt work would have
decapitated the building. busting
rags and rug beaters were at a pre-.
MUM on Monday morning. Every
body predicted a rain but in the
evening it cleared up with no relief
from that source.
1t will be good news to the small
boys and girls and not displeasing
to some of the older ones to know

31st. This is the best and clean

coming is always welcome.
