FAREWELL PARTY
FOR MRS. MINIS
Ellisport Friends Gather To
Pay Tribute to This Most
Estimable Lady

Tuesday noon a group Of
Ellisport folk met at the home
Of Mrs. Evans for the purpose
of holding IA farewell party for
Mrs. Minis who leaves this week
to spend the winter with her
daughter at Lakeside. The af-
fair was complete surprls" to
the guest of honor. Sixteen sat
down to the splendid dinner pre-
pared by the ladies of the party
and those Of us who are FORUM
ate enough to have partaken OF
the feasts that the Ellisport
ladies can provide are filled with
regret that we were unable to
be among those present who were
besides the guest of honor, Mr..
and Mrs. Cliff and the guest Miss
Chaplin, Mr.. and Mrs. BcckcS,
Mrs. Clauscn, Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
ter Cliff and Mr.. Gifts neice
from Tacoma, Mrs. Aldrich and
her guest Mrs. Huntington, Mrs.
f. E. Newman, Miss Bingham
Mrs. Starr and Mrs. Evans.
After dinner Mrs. Cliff eX-
pressed the sentiments of all of
Mrs. Minis many friends by the
tribute which she paid.
Miss Chaplin who is the teach
er under whom Mrs. Cliff took
her first training as a kinder
garten teacher and who has also
been friend of Mrs. Minis for
many years told several appro-
pirate, clever stories after which
the party adjourned to the Cliff
home and spent the afternoon in
a good old-faShioned visit.
We would like to express our
love and appreciation of Mrs.
Minis but it isn't necessary for
every one who knows her feels
about her just as we do. She
is one Of the dear little story
book ladies of a type that is
passing away with this genera
ton and it is too bad that we
do not take more opportunities
of showing them how we love
them. Fortunately the people of
Ellisport are not too engrossed
in the business of living to stop
and "say it by deeds"

THE SEVENTEEN MILE
STONE OF S. P. BROKAW

When S. P. Brokaw attended
the fair at Puyallup on Wednes-
day his son S. E. Brokaw of Ia
coma said: "Well be over next
Sunday so don't be away from
home" Mr.. Brokaw thought
his son meant himself and wife
and as they had been promising
to come over for some time, he
thought no more about it.
But Sunday morning two auto
loads of folks arrived at the
Brokaw ranch, B. H. Hamm and
wife and two sons, W. T. Law
Ter and wife and daughter and
two sons, and S. E. Brokaw and
wife.
The lucky number of thirteen
sat down to a birthday dinner
for S. P. Brokaw was seventy on
Saturday. The sons and daugh-
tcrs had brought their dinner
with them. Then when the peo-
were we'll filled with the sub
Stantials the birthday cake was
brought in with 70 candles burn
ing. Mr.. Brokaw had to cut the
cake and it soon disappeared,
after which his children present
ed him with a box containing
10 silver quarters.
It was a surprise and a very
joyful one, and it seemed good
to see the young faces and enjoy
their presence for a time. And
as the autbS went away there
were many wishes for more just
such days.

BEE SCHOOL TO BE HELD
OCTOBER 9TH AND 2STH
Everyone Interested in Bee-Keep-
ing is Urged TO be Present
at These Meetings

The splendid results obtained
from the Bee School held in Sc
attic last winter, at which tIm(
some 500 bee keepers and would
be bee keepers learned the rudl
ments of the bee keeping bust
ness, has prompted the holding
of another school this fall tc
discuss matters pertaining par
ticularly to fab and winter man
agement and also other subjects
such as diseases and marketing
County Agent a. B. Nystron
in cooperation with B. a. Slo
cum, bee specialist of the State
College of Warrington has ar
ranged a tentative program to
include these subjects. There
are thousands of pounds Of honey
going to waste every year in this
county, and there are many
persons, both farmers and city
folks, who would gladly take up
the business Of bee keeping II
they knew how to take care OF
bees and get the best results,
Bee keeping is business which
can be made highly remunerat,
ing if up-to-date methods are
followed. 1t is foolish to think
that bee keeping merely consists
of putting a swarm of bees in
hive, setting the hive out in the
open, and then gathering the
honey occasionally as you need
it. Bees take considerable care
and attention especially to see
that they do not become diseased
The management in the fall is
different from the spring, and
the matter as such points as
queen rearing, bee diseases ano
marketing of the honey all have
direct bearing OIL the profit OF
loss in the business.
These are some of the subjects
that will be discussed at the bee
school and all persons interested
are invited to attend all lectures
which are free.
The instructors for this Schoo
will include G. w. York Of
Spokane, formerly editor of the
American Bee Journal; j. 0.
Wallace, Bee Inspector of Che
halls; w. l.. Cox, Bee Inspector
of Elma, and B. A, Slocum, Be-
Specialist of the State COLLEGE
Of Washington.

furnished by the Seattle Cham

BUS LINE FROM PIERRE
TO THE BLACK HILLS
BY THE WAY OF PHILIP

Our good friend, the edeitor O
| the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, il
the latest person to come forward
smilingly in the role of Sants
Claus with something nice for the
Christmas stocking of Haakor
county folks. Here it is just as il
came from his editorial columns
Its a long cry from the old OK
team transportation across the
western South Dakota in the days
of the bull-whacker to the modern
railroad train that crosses from
Pierre to Rapid City, a distance OF
100 miles. in about seven hours.
yet according to the Pierre Capt.
tol Journal the last word has not
been said. 1t predicts the appear
ance before long of the modern
bus line and the prophecy does
not seem far fetched with the
trend of things today.
1t was only dozen years ago
that the fitst train across that
stretch of rolling country west Of
the Missouri river was heralded in
the Black Hills as the one thing
needed to unite eastern and west
ern South Dakota. But times
have changed. The Pierre line has
never paid the Northwestern rail-
road and the difficulties of the
trip are numerous. The roadbed
leaves the passenger with an i'm
preston of having been on any
thing but bed of feathers and
railroads are not accustomed to
improving much where traffic is
slack.
But the highway across the
state paralelling the railroad, is
fast being made into something of
comemrcial service. Many humid
reds Of cars navigate it easily each
year and the existing high rail-
road rates have only stimulated
the public urge for better road.
Bus systems are springing into
existence all over the country and
proving their serviceableness for
both freight and passenger traffic
to such degree that the railroads
have been forced to take cogniz-
ance 1t is far from unlikely that
some enterprising firm will see it's
opportunity and open up line be-
tween the capital and the Black
Hills next year, and further cement
the interests of the two great
sections of the state.

FARMERS SHOULD LEARN,
HOW MUCH MONEY
TEHY HAVE MADE

The other day the Pioneer-Re,
view found this pleasant little BIZ
of advice:
with another season of farm
work fast drawing to close. the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture is urging that an annual
property listSor inventory be made
by every farmer. 1t is the only
means, department specialists say
whereby farmers may know accur-
ately their net financial worth,
what progress they are making
from year to year, and how their
investment in farm property is
being distributed. Property lists,
or inventories, made in accordance
with plan outlined in the office
|of Farm Management. United
States Department Of Agriculture,
are not difficult to make out and
are Of great value to any farmer
who is striving to better his CON
dition, overcome obstacles to sue
cess, and place his business affairs
on secure foundation. To drift
along year after year, not know
ing whether toward success or fail
ure is not the practice of business
men. Specialists Of the department
are prepared to give complete dir
ections for making a farm invent
ory that will put the farm on a
business basis. .
Evidently. that is intended for
some of our farmer friends, so we
pass it on to them. 1t any Haakon
county farmer needs help from
specialist to find out how much
money he has made in the past
tow years, and will let us know,
we will telegraph right in and
have one come out.

CONTESTS OF HOMESTEAD
ENTRIES MORE DIFFICULT

There are not as many contests
of homestead entries in the terri
tory surrounding Philip as were
on the calendar a dozen years ago.
But there is still enough interest
in the matter to justify our call
ing attention to recent changes in
the law.
In contest just decided up in
! Butte county wherein the charge
was abandonment, the commission
er of the general fapd Office dis
missed the contest, holding the
entry intact on the grounds that
the Improvement made did not
warrant the charge or abandon
ment and because the entryman.
while not fulfilling the law as to
regularity of residence, had time
enough left Of the life Of his en-
try to make up his twenty-one
months of residence.
I In this decision the honorable
commissioner quoted the decision
of Sletta VS.. Hill. GLASGOW, Mon
|tana District, found in land decis-
ions No, Al page 108, as follows:
"A charge of abandonment is
not sustained by evidence to the
effect that the residence maintain
| ed was not of the character con-
templated by section 2291, revised
statutes, as amended by the act of
June s.. 1912, (three-year law) pro-
vide sufficient period of the
life of the entry remains within
which to meet the requirements
of the law as to residence, unless
lit be made to appeaer the entry
man has not acted in good faith"
1t would seem from the above
that, where an entryman had made
any considerable showing Of good
faith, that even though his resi-
ldence be scattered and irregular,
unless one could actually show bad
faith. if there is still time in
which the residence lacking may
Ibe made up, contest woul dnot be
sustained for abandonment at
Washington. OF course if no at
tempt at residence has been made
|no house built when the contest
lis started, abandonment charges
would appear to be good
