think they are trying to dig up
something on me now so that they
can annul the wedding"
The marriage had been such a
small incident in Julia's life. No
blushing bride here. The only diff
ference the marriage meant as far
as I was concerned was that Mrs.
Palmer put us on our guard.
Little by little I learned the de-
tails of the marriage. Julia had
been out with party of friends on
the evening of January %. 1t was
the usual party, drinking, dancing,
and generally making merry.
Q Julia and Buster" Allen, then
twenty-five, who lived IN New
Rochelle, and was the son OF George
C. Allen, a contractor, evidently
were attracted to each other from
the moment they were introduced.
A few hours later they were the
subject of many jests as they sat
together in a corner. their arms

one girl cried.
Every one wanted little I'M
usual excitement. They were bored
with dancing and drinking. But
they did not have to egg the couple
very much. They were willing
enough.
Julia was a bit over 16 then. But
she was matured for her age.
The party set out to get the two
married. They got a license in New.
Rochelle, but after running about
some time they could find none to
marry them. Finally, however, they
routed out Justice OF the Peace
George s. Bailie, of Port Chester,
who tied the knot at about 3
o'clock.
The party then continued until
midnight, when Julia and her hus-
band presented themselves at Mrs.
Palmer's home.
Mrs. Palmer did not evince any
great surprise.
"It was all the question of being
in the SWIM she commented later.
There had been an epidemic OF
Opponents in Mt. Vernon recently.
It was considered the fashionable
thing to do.
"Julia's marriage is JUST the re-
suit OF the influence of the times.
Mothers ought to do something
about it. They ought to stop this
letting girls run their own affairs"
Mrs. Palmer was like that; hardly
ever ruffled.
But so far as girls running their
own affairs" was concerned, there
was never a girl who ran her at
fairs more than did Julia. She had
absolute freedom. She even ran
the Palmer home where she lived.
Anyway, my little romance with
Julia was not to be interrupted by
this marriage. And it made a very
little ripple in her life.

OF the marketing association for the past
two years.
Last years crop wa marketed in two
shipments, one for the Christmas holi-
days n the other in January, one going
to Swift g. Co. and the other to the
Northern Creamery company at Great
Falls. these firms being the highest bid
ders for the association pool. No effort
was made to make up a pool for Thanks
giving market since conditions were I'M
favorable for the early maturity OF tur-
keys last year.
The pre-Christmas shipment consist
ed of SO 1888 pounds Of turkeys and
brought a grass return of $24. 1911. The
bid on which the birds were sold brought
43l4 cents for No. ! toms and hens, 33A

by individual growers brought from IL
to Is cents less per pound than the
birds sold through the association.
One Of the greatest difficulties encoun
tered in connection with last years ship
ments was that of getting birds to the
assembly point for shipment. Low tenn
perature prevailed while the birds were
being assembled and many birds WERE
frozen stiff on the haul from the farm
On the other hand, some farmers dem.
onstrated that birds may be hauled great
distances without being frozen even II
the coolest weather. One farmer brought
his birds in from his farm, a distance Of
SO miles. without damage. Heated stones
lanterns. oil stoves, hot water jugs ane
other devices were used to prevent the
birds from freezing.

Victor is becoming one OF the COM
mercial points of the Bitter Root val
ley for the production of Strawberries,
and hundreds of crates are being
shipped by express daily.
The berries are going as far east as the
Twin Cities and Omaha from that point.
Victor, according to old residents of the
valley, is one Of the districts where ber-
ries were first grown in the Bitter Root,
but it has been only during the past two
or three years that they have been pro-
duced on a large commercial scale. The
strawberry fields are expanding and much
is expected for berry production in the
future in that district.
