 "oh, just a bill," responded MT. Jarr carelessly.
 Mrs. Jarr's face this morning had been set at fair" it imm mediately turned to "cold with indications of storm" But she poured out the cof- fee and said nothing.
 DO you want me to come home this evening or will you come down town, take dinner with me, and then go to the theatre?" asked MT Jarr, reverting to a previous discussion.
 "Oh, I've a headache. You can go alone" said Mrs. Jarr icily. "You always enjoy yourself peter when I'm not in your way

 Winifred Scott did mention the matter of the loan to Donald Muir But 1t was not for almost month after Richard had suggested 1t.
 For Donald did not come to see her during all that time. She wondered at his absence and missed him more than she had thought possible since Dick belonged to her. Once Richard asked her when she had seen Muir and she replied that he had not come to the apartment since the afternoon of the tea at the Plaza, Her lover expressed surprise.
 Muir has always seemed so eager to be with you," he commented. But of course, now that you are engaged and the management of your affairs is definitely off his hands, he does not feel that he is needed as he once was"

has employed the system in all sub.
sequent crops which have paid wei.
every year since that time.
During the last four years he has
acquired 70 head of cattle, not in
Guiding five head of mich cows. He
has five hogs and sufficient horses to
properly care for the farm work with
the exception of the blowing which
he does with a tractor.
He has erected a modern seven
room house with maple floors
throughout, two %granaries, a machine
shed. and is now contemplating the
erection of a modern barn. THE
house is wired for electricity and will
be equipped soon with a furnace and
electric lighting plant. A well was
dug and a windmill erected. The
farm is fenced and cross fenced and
the value of the Improvements he
estimates at $1,000. all of which has
been paid out of his farming opera
tons during the last four years.
"This man is without question one
of the outstanding farmers of this
section of the state" says Mr.. Run
KEEL. "He has practiced the best
farming principles and has diversi-
fed from the beginning. He be-
iieves the first consideration OF sue
cessful farming to be the growing of
the living on the farm. His hogs,
chickens, garden and mich cows
have cared for all of his current ex-
penses and his other crops and stock
increases have been money earned
and saved. He is a firm believer in
Montana and is satisfied that he has
the best n~on-irrigated farm in the
state. He believes that Montana is
the place for the man who wants to
make a home.
Ellis wheat and oat crops are far
above the average this year and he
promises to rate high among the
yields which are recorded in the Mon
tana Development association con-
test. He has prepared 140 acres of
summer titled land for the season of
1924.
"He is not in debt. but had some
finances to begin with, at least sufi-
cient to. purchase the farm and a
limited amount of equipment. When
asked about the value of summer
titled land he declared he knew that
the benefits were cumulative and
that he likewise knew that crop o
tation was necessary in order that
the necessary fertility might be re-
turned to the land each year. 1t is
belief that if new people will
come to Montana with the will to
work, practice Investigation and be-
gin with some finance. success will be
theirs"

Reports from members of Sum-

His first crop was on sod in 1910
and resulted in a yield of II bushels
