suddenly at her home in Kamiah on
Wednesday evening of last week. She
had not been strong since suffering

force of the blow upon the family and
the community. She was one Of the
best loved and most respected matrons
of the Kamiah valley. She was 20
years of age.
Her husband was with her when the
end came, and the six children, Mrs.
Y. Pomeroy, of Spokane; Mrs.
Geo. w. Stephens, of Nezperce;
Mrs. Morris McHugh, of Fem; Mrs.
G. G. Gagcr of Spokane; Chas Horn
ing, of Spokane, arrived later and at
5ended the funeral, which was held in
Kamiah last Friday afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Horning were pioneers
# the Grangeville section, whence
hey moved to Kamiah some l2 years
go. Eg@w

"0CT WHERE THE WEST
BEGINS"

Some very interesting facts were
contained in the statement in the
Saturday Forum by MIA. Fl. Pet
erson Of Mandan, president OF the
Missouri Slope Group of the N7r.hd
Dakota Bankers ASS ociation. in
which he called attention to fl
nancial conditions in the Slope
country and the trend toward di-
versified farming.
He points out that the crop Of
year ago permitted the farmers Of
the Slope to. place themselves in
far shape. 1t brought money into
the country which was used to pay
up eastern creditors. not only OF
real estate loans but accounts pay
able to mercantile houses. In
creased deposits in the banks
eased up the tension on the insti-
twtions generally and allowed
banks to liquidate bills payable to
considerable extent"
AS an example. he points to the
fact that the Mandan banks had
bills payable Of more than 100000
a year ago. Today tha. has been
reduced TO less than $4,000 and
the banks show an increase OF 90
per cent in deposits.
The farmers are going more and
more into diversified farming, ac-
cording to Mr.. Peterson.
Morton County, for instance las
the famous New Salem Holstein
Breeders Circuit and the Flasher
Circuit. Dairying is being extend
ed throughout the Slope country.
The figures Of the amount of but
terfat marketed from some OF the
Slope couEties through cream So
tons fer the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1923. as made public by
Mr.. w. F. Reynolds, s''ate dairY
commissioner. or Saturday, indi-
cate that the Slope is keeping well
to the front in this branch of fcrm-
ing. Morton County ranks as the
banner county of the State in this
respect but the other Slope coun-
ties are either we'll to the front Or
making marked progress.
The farmers "out where the
West begins" are going forward
with the work Of meeting changed
conditions, just as are the farmers
elsewhere in the State. In some
respects the Slope farmers prob
ably are in the lead of the farmers
/ in other sections.
But the proof continues to com
in that the North Dakota farmer i
firmly convinced that to place ag-
riculture on a sound basis he must
get away from the one crop :dea. -

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
Nv Olive Roberts Barton

Nancy and Nick had climbed up IN
to a buttonwood tree in Dixie Lana
when they noticed big bird n.y.
ing slowly round in circles over their
heads.
E.ch circle was little lower than
the others and pretty soon, with
couple Of flaps of his great wings,
the bird settled on the ground at
their feet.
Good day." he said Hospitality.
"What you all doin'!"
"Why,' answered Nick, Were
Just sitting here. The Fairy Queen
sent US to see if everybody in Dixie
Land was all right. What's your
name, please?"
"Im Mistah Turkey Buzzard!"
said the big bird with twinkle in
his eye. But down south heah we
consider it polite for strangers to
tell their names first"
Were Nancy and Nick, the
Twins" answered Nancy, who felt
that Nick had done enough talking.
"And now, Mister Turkey Buzzard,
have you any troubles?" y
mot so many" answered Mister
Buzzard. "But still have few. !

please to send few more mice and

do you want all those things for?"A
"To eat, of course" said Mister
Turkey Buzzard. "What did you

me?'
"Well, I'm not going to tell the
Fairy Queen that" declared the lit
tie boy.
|, SWELL them" said Mister Buzzard
"pll have to take what food l can
get. But there! After all, down
south here, We don't usually ask ia
vors of our guests. We try to please
them. And if you don't mind, young
friends, l am going to try to dc
something for you. l am going tc
save your lives. That's what l flew
down here for. When l was away uI
in the sky, ! looked down and saw
! you, but my sharp eyes saw some
thing else, too. SEE to myself right
then, SEE l, 'Mistah Buzzard, sir, il
you don't hurry down there thos,

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO LESLIE PRESCOTT,
CnNTINIYEn

expect, little Marquise, that most
women would have been consumed
with curiosity about what that ad-
vice was sgd had given Jack which
would have saved him lot of trou-
BILE before and after we were mar
ried. l never referred to it.
/ have always felt l had no right
to inquire into Johns life and affairs
before our marriage even if those at
fairs precipitated some consequences
that might in some way change the
complex on of our married life. l
wonder if am wrong. 1nj
Were you curious, little Marquise,
we're you jealous? Is it sign of
love or vanity that makes one person
jealous of another? 1t had always
seemed to me that it was a sign of
an inferiority, a confession that, one
believed the person Of whom one was
jealous cleverer or more beautiful
than ones self. OF course curiosity
about Johns actions before he knew
me would not argue superiority or
inferiority on my part and l was
quite sure that since our marriage,
whatever faults John may have
shown, he had never had the slight
est interest in any other woman.
~ went you to look your pref
test" he continued quickly, afte:
making that break about taking
Syd's advice. "You are looking a
, little pale lately, honey. Why don't
you use some of that new rogue the
girl sare all wearing nowadays?
laughed outright, little Marquisc,
at the idea that, while l was saying
to myself he never had the slightest
interest in any other woman, he had
been interested in all women enough
to see that most of them were using
| rouge on their cheeks nowadays.
what are you laughing at, dear
be said in hurt voice.
