first cabin in 1927, but John T. Moore,

Isaac Chambers, and others, came
about the same time. The Parkinson
cabin was on Section Twenty, south of
Calamine, and was sixteen feet square,
with fire place, clay chimney and
clapboard roof.
The early settlers were earnest, frank
and kind. They made friends by being
friends to all men. The women were
loyal helpmates, agreeable home max
ers, and nobly performed their part,
enduring the privations of their sur
roundings without murmur.
The surface of the town is diversified,
fine rolling prairie, level woodlands,
with rough land along the river and
creeks, but. since the coming of the
blue grass, it is a question which is the
most valuable. The land in this town
is selling up to the average of the

Catherine Food for Bees.

A clever scheme, that appears to
have originated in Scotland, is to
gather pollen from flowers with a
vacuum cleaner for use as food for
bees. The heather on wide stretches
of moors provides ample supplies, and
it is said that in some places the
young bees were mostly reared on this
pollen.
