for considerable discussion and A
machine is now being perfected
which will pick the corn, elevate
it to a wagon and at the same
time cut and bale the corn slower.
The development of this indus-
try means a great deal to our
farmers and the territory. It is
like striking oil or discovering
valuable minerals. There are
comparatively few states in the
producing corn belt, namely:
Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Mis-
souri,, Eastern Kansas, Eastern
Nebraska, Eastern South Dakota
and Southern Minnesota.
These states produce enough

Last Sunday was a banner Sun
day in our Sunday school. Out of
an enrolment of ITO only II pu-
pills we're absent. Our Sunday
school has never looked so good
to us as it does in these days.
The one weakness in it is that we
are loath to confess is the absence
of an adult Bible class. If we had
an adult Bible class we would feel
that we had one of the best Sun
day schools in the State of Mont
ana, considering our constituency.
1t is a source of great inspir-
alton to watch Jul congregations
grow. Were you in your place
Sunday morning or evening? Both
services we're we'll attended. The
morning service seems to be the
service that attracts the large
congregation, but the evening ser
vice is no less in its inspiration
and Importance.
Last Thursday the Presbyterian
Women's club was entertained by
Mrs. j. Deck and Mrs. T. Kuroka-
wa and the ladies report the larg-
est club meeting of the year. Be-
tween forty-fve and fifty women
were present.
In the absence of the pastor and
Bruce Randall, Mr.. NJ. E. Ander-
son took charge of the boys club
on Wednesday night. The boys
elected new officers and after
wards played games.
There is very decided evidence
of a swing back to the old stand

evidences is the growing church
interest all over the land. Wolf
Point is feeling the influence of
it also. Help your town by at
