Simple Life in India.

For the most part, houses are sim

One Of the youngest Of American
writer's to achieve instantaneous sue
cess. His first novel, "The Voice of
the Pack" was published in 1920,
and was one Of the most noteworthy
books Of that year.
Then success came to him from a
different kind Of literary effort, for
he won the o. Henry prize for the
best American short story Of 1921.
The award is an annual offering
made by the Society Of Arts and
Sciences of New York as a memorial
to O. Henry. In addition to the rec
ignition it carried cash bonus Of
$500, which was ample for Mr.. Mar
shall. to journey from his home in
Medford, Oregon, to receive the dis
tinction and be guest Of honor at the
dinner which accompanied it.
Just a country newspaper boy who
started in to write big stories of ro-
nance, adventure and nature lore in
his native mountains. His second
book, "The Strength OF the Pines"
has duplicated the success Of the first
one. We have been fortunate enough
to secure it as a serial for this paper.

Records Show 900
Increase in Production

largely attended by those interested
in the success of this institution.
The following officers and directors
were elected:
President-C. L. R. Dunberg
Vice-Pres.-Chris. Iverson
Secy.-Treas.-O. M. Axness
Axel Nelson, and Martin johnson
Business for the past year as well
as prospects for future business was
discussed.
The meeting declared a six per
cent dividend on all outstanding
stock.
The meeting also discussed the
prospects of handling eggs in con-
nection with butter and this was left
to the Board of Directors to look in
to the matter and determine if the
plan is feasible.
The records Of the institution for
the past year were read and show an
increase in business of about 209o
over that of the previous year. This
was considered a very good gain
when the fact is taken into considera-
ton that two other creameries have
located in the Mason territory during
the past year, one at Benoit and the
other at Grandview and that the
cream from this territory formerly
came to the Mason creamery.

caribs, Flashing Thunder Bird.

The Australian thick-headed shrike
is about six inches long, rich-yellow
below, with jet-black collar and a
white throat, black head and partly
black tail. 1t is sometimes called the
black-breasted f1y-catcher and 1t has
also a variety Of French and New
Latin names.
In the mythology Of some low
tribes, such as the Caribs, Brazilians,
Harvey islanders, Karens, Bechunas
and Basutos, there are legends of a
Tapping or flashing thunder bird,
which seems to translate into myth
the thought Of thunder and lightning
descending from the upper regions
Of the air, the home of the eagle and
the vulture.

FIRES
ARE RAGING
BRUSH FIRES BURNING IN
ALL DIRECTIONS
Territory Between Ashland
Junction and BenOit Has Been
Swept Over During the Past
Two Days.

For the past two days the village
of Mason and the territory adjacent
has been covered by a pail of smoke
caused by the brush fires which have
been raging in all directions from
Mason. The biggest fires are north
of the village of Benoit, along State
Trunk Highway No. 112, where the
brush country on both sides of the
road have been swept by the flames.
There is also another big fire in the
Bibon Swamp, with smaller fires west
and east of Mason.
The woods are as dry as finder
and unless there comes rain to
put out the fires damage is likely to
result especially to the farms where
the brush line is near buildings.
Many of these fires have been
started as the result of land clear
ing operations, while railroad trains
are also responsible for fires which
have started along the right-of-way.
Farmers are urged not to start
burning their brush at this time of
the year, but to await better weather
conditions. There is always danger
of these fires spreading at this time
of the year and small fire started
to burn a few brush piles, may re-
suit in untold damage.

DEATH SEWERS ROMANCE
OF 81 YEARS
James Bell, los, Dies at
Abrams, Leaving Widow,
Age 1913.

| ABRAMS, Wis.-The sun has set
forever on Wisconsin's most remark
able romance.
James Bell, 105, died last Friday
at his home near here and the thread
Of love that for eighty-two years
had bound him to his wife, Louise
was severed.
The gray widow, 103 but still ac-
tive, especially mentally, now awaits
alone for the relentless hand of time
that she knows must soon claim her
and in her waiting she soothed by
the philosophy she uttered at his
death:
"He has gone. We have done our
work. am ready"
Until few weeks prior to his
death, Mr.. Bell had been as active
as his wife. Alone they titled their
little garden farm. Alone they cared
for their few head of stock and
alone they provided for their needs.
Last January their farm home
burned, the home in which they had
lived for forty years, and with it
went their life savings, boarded in
hooks and crannies of the old place,
safe, they had childishly believed
from harm.
But even with their money gone
they were ready to begin over again.
A corn crib as old as the destroyed
house soon was transformed by the
magic of their willing hands into
warm and comfortable home for
them an dthere they had lived, hop
ping to soon be able to rebuild their
house.
There in the old corn crib occurred
the reunion of their children, grand
children, great grandchildren and
great-great grandchild, BUD HUI
gill, 5, son of Burt Hugill, a great
grandson living at Livingston, Wis.
One hundred years separated the
first and fifth male generations on
that memorable occasion.
"We lived well, minded our own
business; / smoked all / wished and
drank some, although not to excess"
Mr.. Bell said short time before his.
death. 81 never depended on any
one and never went hungry. It's
easy to live one hundred years if
you try hard enough"
