FROM THE FAR WEST
Interesting Letter from Col. and
Mrs. Clyde Robbins.

Silesia, Mont, July 4th, 1916
Editor Times
Thought I would drop you &
few lines today. This is a beauti
full day here and people are 60
ing to different parts Of the coun.
try to celebrate.
We can look off to the south.
west and see the snow-covered
mountains and while the days are
very hot the nights get real cool.
We slept last night with two
heavy comforts and two blankets
over us and were not too warm.
We have seen lots of country,
some of-all kinds. We saw very
little untry in Wyoming that
looked to be of much value ex-
cept as a grazing country and we
would drive $50 miles and not see
a house except a few little sheep
herder's shacks, more often they
live in a covered wagon.
Here in Montana along the riv-
er valleys they have some very
good land and raise lots of wheat,
oats, alfalfa and timothy and
clover, but little corn growing
this year. Out of these valleys
the ground is high and rough.
We have had a nice trip, had
trouble getting over some of the
mountains and found lots of bad
roads but have enjoyed ourselves
anyway. They have some mosqui-
toes here now, believe me, and
they are very friendly. They
fairly swarm along the irriga-
ton bitches and make life miser-
able in the evenings unless you
are protected from them.
We saw Charley Robbins and
Remsy Stilwell, who lived at old
for manv years. They
live at Sheridan, Wyo., and like
t fine.
Sheridan is fine little city.
At Hardin, Mont, we saw Rob
)enning and wife and Dick Craig
md wife who are all getting along
licely.
We expect to start home about
he 9th. and will 60 down the
Yellow Stone River as far as Miles
Citv. then across into. the Dakotas
md in to Iowa, where we will
cave father and mother, and ex-
'ect to be at home about Aug. 1st.
Send The Times to Winterset,
owa, as it will not reach me here
'efore leave. We got it yester-
lay morning and it seemed like a
etter from home. We saw wolves
nd antelope along the road and
hey did not seem very wild but
TODD and stared at us. I guess
hey never saw a Ford hauling
i've passengers and pulling a
railer and 1000 pounds of stuff
yer those mountains before. It
7as tempting to see the antelope
landing out there in easy rifle
ange and not take a shot at them
ut as it is penitentiary offense
0 kill one in Wyoming at this
eason l did not risk shot, for
the Penitentiary was much
1orse than the bad roads we
assed over I would not like to
tay long.
Well, will close hoping g'you are
aving good weather there and
re all enjoying the 4th.

The Harrisofville Democrat is
out with a new fish story. Ac-
cording to that always reliable
paper farmer who lives near

taking a swim in small stream
in that locality, located a large
cat fish and called his son to
bring him a halter, which he
placed on the fish and led it to
dry land, all Of which sounds

this period that he wrote one of his

he will be better off in the country or

Cities are all overcrowded. Jobs in
all ordinary lines of industry are
scarce because there are generally
more job-hunters than jobs. With SO
much competition for work, labor is
cheap and wages are low.
1t costs much more to live in the
city than in the country. If man
receives low wages he must find shell

dirty. garretlike places in poor neigh
borhoods where fresh air is at pre-

food but must get along on what he
can afford to buy. Consequently his
health suffers. He cannot afford to
buy clothing of good quality, SO he
must wear shoddy. He can save moth
ing out of small earnings, SO sickness
or any other emergency need for funds
finds MIN in serious circumstances.
And to live as he must live is con
stant invitation to sickness.
