An Odd Fellow
For IS Years
]. N. DeVore, Residing Mile West Of
Hardin, Beats Oldest IOwan
BY Fourteen Years.

Every once in a while a claim
Is made by some town to having
among its residents the oldest
Odd Fellow in the country, in
point of membership. The most
recent claim is made by the Adams
County Free Press of Corning,
Iowa, which in its issue of 71ugust
q publishes a likeness Of Silas
Jarman, Civil war veteran, who
had just celebrated his 96th
birthday, surrounded by 100 rela-
tives and friends. The newspaper
member of the I.O.O.F. in the
United States, having been a
member continuously since 1885.
He has two brothers living in
Shenandoah, Iowa, one of whom
is IS, the other, 80.
Hardin boasts an Odd Fellow
who has been a member of the
order IA years loneer than Mr..
Jarman. He is J. N. DeVore, re-
siding on an irrj"ated farm one
mile west of Hardin, who became
an Odd Fellow at Cabletown, Ohio,
in 1871. His wife joined the Re-
bekahs at Milford Center, Ohio,
in June, 1877, a little more than
SO years ago. She believes that
she is probably the oldest Re-
bekah, in point of membership, in
the United States.
While Mr.. DeVore is some years
Younger than Mr.. Jarman, having
observed his 87th birthday on
March 2. last. he has been an
Odd Fellow IS years as against
Mr.. Jarman's 81 years member
ship. While he does not claim to
be the oldest Odd Fellow in the
country, there are few who have
been a three tinker 50 long. Like
wise, there are few RebekahS
whose membership dates back as
far as Mrs. De Vore's.

Edward w. Vorwald, Aged ~, Ends
Life Because of His Unrequited
Love For Girl.

The body of Edward w. Vor-
Wald, aged ~, the young man who
ended his life in Hardin, Sunday
morning, a few minutes before one
O'Clock, by drinking an ounce of
carbolic acid, was shipped to the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
F. S. Vorwald, at New Hampton,
Iowa, Tuesday morning, by the
Bullis-Crilly mortuarv Of Hardin.
The young man came to Hardin
a short time ago from New Hamp-
ton, Iowa, where he had followed
the occupation of truck driver and
tractor and caterpiller operator,
in an endeavor to get employment
here. So far as is known he had
been unable to obtain work. It
seems that he had fallen in love
with young woman residing a
few miles in the country from
Hardin while she was on an ex-
tended visit in Iowa, and had fol-
lowed her here when she returned
to Hardin a few months ago. HIS
love for her was unreuuited and
he became desperate and decided
to end his life
Less than an hour before he
died he entered the Mission Bill
lard parlor at the corner of Third
street and Center avenue, and
asked permission to use the tele-
phone. He called some one, but
Tony Buzzetti who was on shift
did not notice whether or not the
party responded. The young man
left the billiard parlor and Went
over to the Hotel Becker. where
he wrote three notes. He then
stepped up to the desk and asked
the night clerk, VIM. A. Finch, for
a drink Of water. Mr.. Finch told
him to helm himself from the
pitcher of water on the counter,
which he did. pouring a drink in
to one of two glasses that were
on the counter Vorwald then took
an ounce vial of carbolic acid
from his pocket, noured it into
the other glass and drank it, then
drank the water and left the hotel
lobby and went out onto the street.
It was then shortly after mid
NIGHT and Tony Buzzettt was just
closing no for the night. Vorwald
onened the screen door and ex-
tended his hand and shook hands

10 INSURE TREES. AND
SHRUBS THRU WINTER

To insure trees and shrubs en-
tering the winter in good condi-
ton, watering should be dis
pensed with during the early fall
until they have reached maturity,
advises F. M. Harrington, horti-
culturist at the Montana agricul-
tural experimental station. Then,
after the trees and shrubs have
matured, they should be watered
literally to prevent dry freezing
during the winter.
The cold, drying winds of winter
extract moisture from twigs and
branches and unless trees contain
plenty of moisture, dry freezing
will result, Harrington explained.
Another precaution for garden
ers to take, the horticulturist sug-
gested, is the covering of peren-
NAL plants to protect them from
alternate freezing and thawing
during the winter. Instead Of
raking leaves and litter from
around the plants in the fall, he
suggests leaving this material on
the ground and covering the plants
with the litter.

START CONSTRUCTION
Beet SUGAR FACTORY

acreage of beets lined up to JUS
tify a factory and who has been
generally a very important factor
in bringing about the present de-
velopment.
During the past two years beet
production in the upper Big Horn
valley has increased rapidly, due
principally to the Tschirgi hold
ings above st. Xavier being brot
into production and the co-opera-
ton of the Indian. land owners
and Superintendent Robert Vel
loWtail in leasing land to beet
producers. It is hoped that with
a factory at Hardin to grind the
1887 beets and the assurance by
the company of receiving stations
being placed where needed up the
valley, that very material progress
will be made during the next year
in the development of the upper
Big Horn valley and that a very
substantial increase in beet pro-
duction will be experienced.
Probably one of the most bene-
ficial results to be realized from
the processing of the sugar beets
at Hardin will be the opportunity
offered the people of the beet
producing area to enter into ex-
tensive and profitable livestock
feeding operations. Not only
should the feeding operations be
a profitable line Of endeavor, but
the results that will be obtained
through the building up of the
soil will be reflected in added rev.
enue from the ranches.
The representatives of the Holly
company called upon the Big Horn
county commissioners, Mo n d y,
and were assured of the con-
struction of a road suitable for
year around heavy traffic from
the intersection of the valley road
east to the factory location, a
distance of approximately one
half mile. The commissioners an
ticipate doing this work at once
in order that the construction of
the factory will not be inter-
ferred with during bad weather.
The commissioners also informed
the Holly officials that the high
way east from the factory site
one-half mile and south to the
Custer Battlefield highway would
be placed in condition for all
vear-round heavy traffic IN time
to use for beet deliveries during
the harvest of 1887.

Swimming Pool
Money Put Up
Hardin American Legion Post
UNDERWRITERS Shortage
$4,000 Paid City.

Through the activity of Hardin
Post No. 8, American Legion, the
community donation of $4,000,
Hardin's share of the ten thous-
and dollars required to construct
a modern swimming pool for this
city through a WPA project, has
been deposited with the Hardin
city council, the post underwrit-
ing the amount necessary to make
up the $4,000, which while sub
scribed, had not all been collected
when the deadline set by the
WPA was reached last Tuesday ev-
ening This action by the Legion
post deserves the commentator
of the people of this community,
as it now appears that the swim
ming pool will ere long be a real
ity. Those who have not yet paid
their subscriptions to this fund
should at once get in commune
cation with John Redmon, Ed G.
Kuehn or Earl Cammock, menl-
bers of the Legion committee, and
pay their subscription.
Likewise, if there are some who
have not been solicited, it will
be appreciated if they will see
any member of this committee
and contribute their mite towards
this worthy project, as while
when all is collected in there will
be money enough to match the
5000 allocated bv the PWA for
the swimming pool, money will be
needed to prepare the surround
ing grounds and provide play
ground equipment for the use of
the kiddies. The earlier the
money is paid in. the sooner will
the work of construction begin.
