. The civic improvement COM
mittee of the Woman'S club,
composed of Mrs. c.. R. Foley,
chairman, Mrs. Matt Jordan and
Mrs. Dick Glenn, has been busy
the past week interviewing the
powers that be" to see what
can be done for this community
in regard to identification and
telephone service. We under
stand that the Montana Pow
er company is building into
Busby and it is not so far up
here to Kirby from there.
Twin calves seem to be the
style on the Rosebud this spring,
as Matt Jordan, Amos Helvey
and Victor johnson report the

Amos Helvey helped brand
calves for Frank Mckinney the
past week. Mr.. Mckinney is very
i'll and neighbors are lending a
hand.
The Woman's club met at the
home of Mrs. Charles PenSon
last Thursday afternoon. The
report of the civic committee

pressed interest in the efforts
to have the well at the Big
Bend school bored deeper, for
a good supply of water. It was
also hoped that the school board
will see fit to have a well bored
at the Log school house. Rural
identification and a telephone
appealed to all, although the
price may be prohibitive to
many of US, still we'd all like
to see these improvements on
the Rosebud. Mrs. Penson served
ice cream and cake to Mrs. D..
Ferguson, Linda Ferguson, Mrs.
Holmes, Grace Holmes, Mrs.
Wilson, Mrs. Gibbons, Betty
Gibbons, Mrs. Roebling, Elmira

By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Daniel Boone'S famous bar tree
grew in Washington County, Tenn,
in the extreme northeastern part
OF the State, and was for a long
time a living record of an episode
in the life of Boone. It is believed
that he was the first white man to
enter the heavy forests of the mid
die Appalachians. He was wise
man and truthful, so he took no
chances In telling his story but in
scribed it upon the great smooth
trunk.
In 1760 Daniel Boone found a
bear on one of the wide limbs of
the tree and killed 1t. To COM
memorate the experience he carved
upon the trunk these words: ID.

year 1850" Daniel would not have
scored high in a spelling match of

Place in History.
Beech trees have played most
important part in the history Of
our country. They are valuable for
their lumber and fruit as we'll as
their shade and ornamental ap-
pearance in beautifying the land
scape. They belong to the great
family of cup bearers, which also
includes the chestnuts and oaks.
They are trees that have been a
friend to man always. Their lum-
Der has provided. and continues to
do 50, material for homes and many
aother vital needs. The fruit Is edi-
BILE and furnishes nourishing food
Sor man and his animals. And the
wild creatures in the forests know
where the beech is to be found.
There are only five species Of
beech, three OF which are Asiatic.
America has one species and Europe
has another.
Beeches are clannish, we are told.
For where you find one you will be
sure to find many close by. There
will be handsome little beech trees
coming along at all ages, the very
young ones slender and pale, SEEM
ing to recllne against any opJect
close by.
Soon the baby beech has a firm
footing in the ground, as its slen-
der little roots take firm and de-
termined grip upon the soil. From
now on it is independent and grows
fast. 1t really is launched in life
when 1t can boast of bright green
leaves. A shoot bearing true beech
leaves will be seen rising from the

which soon dry and disappear BY
