Every day we read of trains knock

the tracks, but have never read of an
auto knocking a train off the tracks.
This outght to be conclusive evidence
that it can't be done. Better wait and
let the trains go by.

unusual crop.

by heavy weight dropping from the
hay carrier last Friday evening.

Daisy Dean" Daisy took a notion to
roll the other evening and rolled over
five times. The saying is that a horse
that can roll over is worth 500. Ac-
cording to this Daisy Dean must be a
very valuable animal
Hay-making is very popular in this
vicinity. The neighbors change with
each other and the women folks 60

away in the barn, or stick the fork.
Sometimes they send up part of the
hayrack, but that all goes with it and
we will get through haying just the
same.
James Hampton, Orlo Wood and A.
Laufenberg have been grading up the
Garden Prairie road. Now we are
ready for the oil, and as this road is
a mail route there is no reason why
we should not have the oil. We pay
for the oil, so why not have it? The
town board will please see to this
matter right off.

was very dark and raining gently.
Every once in a while they would halt
to find out where they were, and in

just on the brink of a culvert, or up
on high bank, and wait until flash
OF lightning would reveal their where

patience and reached home safely.

his pocketbook open. He popped into
the Index office and bought a receipt
for two dollars, good for one years
payment in advance for, as he said,
"the best paper in Grant county"
Sounds fine, every word of it, but
when one thinks of the Grant County
Herald and the Fennimore Times it
seems as though the Index with its

Schneider's cherry compliment into
three parts and pass the ''pi"-a hand

MAN FASTS 81 DAYS;
BECOMES SPECIFIES

STANTON, Ky.-William Rice, Ma
da, Tuesday, was speeches., and in an
extremely weakened condition on the
sixty-fourth day of his voluntary fast
Physicians who have examined Rice
do not expect him to live much longer
unless he receives food soon.
Rice said he intended to fast only
40 days to purify his body as Christ
did," but when the 40 days was up he
still continued, saying if he ate he
would go to hell and asserting that he
was living on spiritual food.
Until a few days ago Rice was able
to talk, but now his speech has left
him. BY his bedside are Bible, a
cross, a fan, trumpet and likeness
Of Christ. He has a wife and two
married daughters, who are at his
bedside.

 RE WRANGEL ISLAND

Lomen Bros. during past few days have received communications from Vihialmer Stefansson in which the explorer will charter the Nokatak to takt ten tons of supplies to Wrangle Island for the advance party sent there by him.
 In Sept. 1921 Stefansson sent six men from Nome on the Silver Wave to take possession of Wrangle Island and plant the British flag. At the time the Silver Wave returned to Nome Capt Jack Hammer stated that the Americans raised the Am erican flag and would see that it re- mained flying.
 Captain Swansen stated that un- legs he received definite information from the Maud as to ice conditions in the Wrangle Island waters he would refuse to consider the charter.
 Apropos of the above we print an excerpt from the Congressional Re-

MRS. McCLAY DIES:
REST AT MONARCH
Career of Well Known Artist
and Writer Ended Here
Thursday.

Mrs. Mary Martha McClay, well
known Great Falls artist, died Thurs
day morning at her home following
an illness of many months. She was
born in Germany in 1859 and came
to America in 1868. In 1896 she be-
came a resident Of this city and re-
sided here until 1907 when she re-
moved to Chicago, where she lived
until 1915 with her W. sons, George
and Albert McClay. She returned to
Great Falls and resided here until her
death.
An artist of ability, Mrs. McClay
was well known in the city. A number
of years ago she acquired some note
as a writer of short stories and poems.
which were published in various east
ern periodicals. She had been in poor
health for some time and her death
was not unexpected.
At her request she will be buried
at Monarch, a place where she once
visited and became so impressed with
it's beauty that she desired to have
her final resting place there. The two
sons are the only surviving relatives.
Albert McClay is employed in the
Great Northern freight office and
George McClay is a member Of The
Tribune business office staff.
Funeral services will be held Sun
day afternoon at 3 o'clock at the w.
H. George chapel. The body will be
forwarded to Monarch on Monday.
