Miss Una Tobin, one of the Dickin-
son nurses, was out recently to pay
visit to her friend, Miss Meta Hoist,
who teaches at Six Mile and boards
at the w. R. Calder place south of
town.
John Marucheck, from the country
northwest, was in Killdeer the past
week on business, stopping en- route
to chat with the people at the First
State Bank. Mr.. Marucheck is pio-
neer of the Grassy Butte country and
is classed among the really successful
cattle and horse growers. His
brother, Tom Marucheck, who built
the log house in which our postoffice
is located about three years ago, is
a resident Of Rugby now. Jim Mar
ucheck, who worked for Sam Rhoades
five years, is cook with Co. K of Dick
inson now located at Camp Greene.
n. c., and probably soon to go to
France.
Walter Faue and Herman Huer
pulled into Grassy Butte the past
week and threshed out the Donald Nc
! Kenzie grain, also the Fred Steffen,
IJr., crop which had been stacked
here. The machine pulls the coming
week into the Bicycle neighborhood,
where it will be housed for the winter.
These people have been quite success
full with their threshing operations,
notwithstanding the poor crop condi-
tions. The Faues came from Mime
apolis and are doing well. out mere.
Mrs. Faue, mother Of Walter, is post
mistress at Bicycle.
Mrs. John F. Rooney and son,
Johnnie, were visiting last week at
the Ed. Piatt home in Manning and
also looking after business matters
at the Rooney farm down below
Manning. Mr.. Piatt is her brother
and is moving back to Chicago, where
his goods were shipped several weeks
ago. Mr.. Piatt was formerly inter
ested in the Northwestern Abstracting
Co. and he was a homesteader III
Dunn county eight or nine years ago.
He was formerly in the postoffice in
Chicago and it would not be surprising
if he drifted back into the old place
after a little. Either that or return
to North Dakota.
Among those who purcha sed trees
for fall delivery here this year We're: !:
James Walker, W. R. Rammelkamp,
Claude Richardson, John O. Lee, Jim
Cain and B. o. Engelhart. Albert F.
Helms had about 500, mostly pop1ars,
IA part of which were for replacing.
He set this number last year. It
seems that our people are quite in
clined toward the poplars, but if they
will be observing as they ride about
the state they will surely come TO
the conclusion that the native trees,
such as the cottonwoods, boxelders,
ash and elm, are much the best for
this climate, taken for a period of
years. The evergreen trees, such as
the bull pine and Colorado Blue
spruce, are also we'll adapted to this
climate. Some of the willow varieties
do very well too.
The engagement of Miss Daisy P.
Waddell and Howard Saunders was
announced at the home of Mrs. VIM.
H. Burnett, sister of Miss Waddell,

Miss Waddell is a sister of Bert
Waddell, former cashier of the First
State Bank at Grassy Butte, now
holding an important position in the
quartermasters' department of the
164th Infantry at Camp Greene, and
she is well known to many people
through this section of the state,
where she has successfully taught
school. Mr.. Saunders has been look
ing after the big farming operations
Of Harry Smith at Grassy Butte the
past year. His father is a wealthy
farmer of Edgerton, Wis.,, not far
