sonaIy. The car is named Russell"

on the road as he is TESTED by many
of the younger generation. He takes
great pride in the long life of his car
and whenever he thinks he can i'm
prove the engine by an addition he
does so. In spite Of the fact that the
car is ageing rapidly it can still go
up TO about so miles per hour but that
speed is attempted by none except
the son. Russell.

Mr.. and Mrs L. S. Van Orden have
returned from Camp Sonia, Bear
cd
Lodge, Montana, where they spent a
months vacation in the forest coun-
try. They made the trip by rail to
Red Lodge from which place it was
necessary to go by means Of pack
horses to Camp Sonia. Their camp
was in a national forest covering
6S1 900 acres about half of which is
covered with timber and there are
an abundance of lakes, mountain
streams and fishing is excellent
Fresh, pure water was obtained from
a glacial stream near the camp site.
Mr.. Van Orden stated that they were
not Inconvenience or delayed in
their journey on account of the rail
strike and if possible hope to return
to the camp next year. This year the
camp would accommodate only about
twenty but next year it is expected
room will be lAade for double the
number.
During the past week employees of
the Herfort Canning factory have

On account of the immature condition
of the early corn crop Thursday,
Friday and the first three days of
his week were the days on which no
aiming was done. Corn was expect
ed to mature earlier and the factory
commenced last Wednesday but on
account Of the shortage Of rain dur
ing the critical period of growth the
early crop is not maturing properly,
and if rain is not forthcoming soon
the early crop of corn will be more
or less of a failure. In the years
previous to this there has been an
Over-production of corn which caus-
ed the planting of smaller acreage
this year and although there may be
a partial failure of the crop the
shortage will not be felt until next
year as the surplus supply of pre-
vious years will be put on the market
A slight shortage, therefore, benefits
the market conditions. Picking of
corn will be renewed tomorrow and
