Plan Turkey Sales Day.

Thirty Red Lodge business men
have united under the Neosho plan
for big market day, Monday, Dec.
8. At this time the merchants will
buy, for cash, at the highest market
price all the turkeys that farmers
will sell and will themselves, offer
a dollar day sale.
Each merchant member of the Ne
oshO club will advertise two articles
or specials priced at a dollar each.
A committee of inspection visits the
several stores to ascertain that the
sale offerings are of genuine value;
in no case will any merchant be al
lowed to duplicate the feature offer
ing of any other.
Arrangements have been made for
a special wire to ascertain the high
est market price of the turkeys. Mer-
chants here urge farmers to make
the number sufficient for a freight
shipment in order to make possible
the greatest realization for the grow
ers.

Fatten Lambs in Corn Fields.

Much corn in the vicinity of Cas-
cade is being harvested through the
turning into the fields of bands of
lambs which are being fattened for
the market.
This is found to be an inexpensive
method of realizing on the corn crop.
The lambs gather the corn, getting
sufficient roughage from the corn
stalks to balance the grain without
waste and the harvested crop walks
to market instead of being hauled in
a truck wagon.
Sheepmen say that this is an ideal
method of fattening lambs if the corn
is fully matured so that it will shell
readily as the sheep nibble it but that
it is not so practical in soft corn. If
this method of feeding sheep becomes
general in the state there is no doubt
that it will result in improvement in
both mutton and wool.

There he dropped to the steps in a
sleep of exhaustion.
Meanwhile Taylor had reported in
from his own days work which had
been fraught with almost as many
dangers and hardships as that which
had expended the strength of his COM
panion. "Slim," as he is known to
his fellows, realized that Daggett
could hardly hope to find shelter on
Sherman hill and set out on his horse
to rescue his comrade. 1t was l
O'Clock in the morning when he found
the spot where Daggett's horse had
floundered in the drifts and, knowing
that the only shelter was at line
mans cabin, he fought his way thru
the storm over the intervening wastes
1t took two hours of time and almost
all his strength to reach the shelter
house and there he found the half
frozen body of Daggett.
Rescued Companion
He, too. had dragged his horse
through the snow and, after looking
to its comfort, he forced the door,
dragged Daggett inside and, under a
cowhide robe and sopping blankets,
he lay beside his suffering compan-
ion until morning.
Repairing breaks as they went, the
two men made their way home the
next day, arriving at the office at
nightfall
The Vail medal, cast in gold, is
annually presented to such employees
of the Bell System as perform out
standing exploits marked by loyalty
to their duty and devotion to the
public service. Together with the
cash gift this medal will be presented
shortly to Taylor and Daggett by a
representative of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company.

Reads Like Fiction
The story of the performance of
| Taylor and Daggett just made public
reads like a chapter from an imagin-
alive fiction writer. 1t emphasizes
not only the indomitable courage and
lself-sacrifice of the telephone men but
the fact that except for their daring
and devotion the country would have
waited many days last year for re-
turns from western states in the gen
eral elections. They kept the line
open but almost at the cost of their
own lives.
In the face of a storm which is I'M
pjrecedented in the history of sec
ton known nationally as blizzard
center Daggart, who now lives in
Denver, volunteered to go west from
Cheyenne on foot to clear trouble on
the transcontinental line. He was
unfamiliar with the country but of
fered to make the attempt in the face
of dangers which were too great for
men more experienced with the storm
stricken plains.
After climbing pole after pole in an
11-mile journey during which he re-
paired all breaks, Daggett obtained
horse. The storm increased in
violence and the temperature steadi-
ly dropped but he kept on, often find
ing the next pole with difficulty
through the mounting drifts. The
day passed and after nightfall he
kept on. He had had no food for
Ii hours. and was at the verge of |
exhaustion but there was more work |
to do and he knew that all trouble |
had to be cleared if the line of COM
munication between the east and the |
west coasts was to be kept open. He
had to abandon his horse and trudge
through three miles of deepening /
snow to reach the last case of trouble
but he had volunteered to do the
whole job and he did not stop.
Daggett Is Exhausted
DdS5elt was ready 10 drop IN MS
tracks when he returned to his horse
but he dug the animal out and start
ed out to find an isolated cabin of
which he had been told. However,
when he left the telephone line, the
only landmark upon which he could
depend, he wandered aimlessly in the
drifts. When ready to surrender to
the elements he came upon the cabin
First stabling his horse he made his
way to the door only to find it locked.
