Harvest Neurinq
End in SUnrift
by Mrs. Daisy Sparks

SUNRIFT-It'S not nice to taxi
someone's own medicine. In look.
ing for others columns last weel
was quite disappointed with the
Hungry Horse. Being guilty Of two
weeks commission we really didn't
feel like asking for our money
back. In trying to run down news
we find everyone in the same boat
they are not going much of any
where, except in circles these busy
days.
Nevertheless, the harvest is
slowly coming to a close. Several
in the vicinity are happy to be
finished Oats ran up to 80 bu-
shells per acre; wheat to SO and
barley into the 70's. The grain was
there, but the weather just wasn't
for awhile. We will all be looking
forward to a nice Indian summer
now as frost is on the pumpkins
this morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Gibson, Kalis-
pell, spent Sunday with Mr.. and
Mrs. Louie Bergman, Sam is Re-
ba's brother.
Mr. and Mrs. William Kristine
and brother, Carr, Yakima, ar
rived Saturday evening to spend
a short vacation in the Flathead
visiting with Mrs. Kristine's bro
ther, Frank Fisher and family.
They planned to leave Thursday
for Yellowstone and other points of
interest. The families visited Hun
cry Horse Dam, Sunday, getting a
big thrill out of its construction
and beauty.
SEE T.V.
A call on the Bergans, Sunday
evening found them trying their
new "hook-up" on Spokane chan
mel 4 from Spokane. Bergans have
had TV for quite some time and
have been enjoying Missoula with
very little trouble or Interruptions.
The reception was somewhat
snowy" from Spokane, but with
a little experiment, say a booster,
the trouble will all be over. It's
that TV can be en-
joyed in this area. The bug may |
oite others in the community this
winter. We think it would be nice
20 watch a movie at home in a
chair when the wind
S blowing and snow piling up in
,ront of the garage doors.
WORKING HORSES
Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Sparks had
dinner with Mr.. and Mrs.
lin Burns. The afternoon was
pent listening to Jim tell about
he by-gone days. Jim is a horse
over, and why not? He has made
lis stake with that good old Dob
lin. Unlike others, he hasn't trad
d them for a gasoline burning
Machine, either. Not Jim, he is
rue to his horses and we think
nore than kind. Why, just last
week he was plowing, every fifth
ound he stopped his team to let
hem "blow." While they were
esting and getting their second
Wind, what was Jim doing? He had
is pitchfork standing by so that !
e could run over into the next !
eld and dig a few hills of pota-
pes. At the end of the days plow-
lg he with the help of good
'ife, Teressa) picked 500 pounds
spuds. So Jim is quite a horse
long with his good pals.
