Buy the Best Mower—Deering IN those years when your hay fields and meadows * are in the worst shape for cutting—very heavy stand perhaps, lodged and tangled every way—then you will have reason, for being glad your mower is a Deering.

You will find ball and roller bearings wherever fric­tion or draft could be reduced.* Then, the extremely flexible cutter bar means smooth cutting on rough ground, or on hillsides and knolls. It leaves a close stubble without clogging the inner shoe. The draft is parallel with the tongue. Your tilting lever quadrant gives you an unusual number of cutting angles. Width between wheels prevents side draft.

The Deering New Ideal Mower is the sturdiest and most durable made. It will last through many haying seasons. Come in and see how well it is built.

The first annual meeting of the Sentinel Butte Co-Operative Milling Company was held recently and the shareholders authorized the board of directors to run the mill nights if necessary to keep pace with the de­mand made upon it and to employ a manager and additional help.

Rev. and Mrs. Ralph Roe of Taylor will depart in about a month for Oskaloosa, Iowa, where Mr. Roe will take up a five year course in theo­logy. Mrs. Roe will take up the study of music. Mr. Roe has been pastor of the Methodist church at Taylor and Gladstone for two years.

A sweeping change took effect at the Milwaukee depot at Rhame the first of the month, the three oper­ators who have been working here, all being laid off, and Agent Scheune-mann is now supposed to do all the work himself. Of course, his hours are limited, so the office is closed at night, which effects the mail service also, as no mail can be sent out on the night train. Other towns along the line are hit the same way.

Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Cams of Man­ning and two boys left recently for an automobile trip to points west. They will travel over the Red Trail to Spokane, and then south and east ninety miles to Moscow, Idaho, where Mrs. Cams' relatives live. They will also visit Mr. Cams' relatives at Boise, Lewiston and Mountain Home, Idaho, and on the return trip will go through Yellowstone National Park. They have their own camping outfit and will no doubt enjoy their outing.

While enjoying an outing at the Killdeer mountains July 4th, Hiram Philips, who lives near Dunn Center,

had a very narrow escape from death. The party had climbed to the highest peak of thp mountain and in some manner Hiram lost his bal­ance and fell from the ledge of rock to a second ledge $bout 40 feet be­low. He was severely bruised about the body and was. unconscious for several hours after being removed to the hotel at Oakdale. He was given medical attention at Killdeer and aside from being pretty sore from his sudden descent from the mountain was all right again.

Orville DeLano of Mott met with an accident at the C. M. & St. P. pumping station last week, caused by an explosion of gasoline. DeLano was working at the station, getting ready for pumping and when his en­gine refused, used a lantern to go down into the pit to find out the trouble. The fumes from the leaking gasoline connected with the lantern, a heavy explosion following, and ere the man could get out of the pit he was badly burned about the face and hands. DeLano is recovering nicely but will be badly scarred for a long time.

The installation .of the nepr electric light plant at Marmarth is bringing many new and difficult questions to the city commissioners. After having given the matter thorough considera­tion the board has come to the con­clusion that the only possible way to secure the White Way is to assess half of the cost which will amount to about $10.00 per lot against the abutting property, while the remaind­er of the expense will be paid out of the general fund. There will be 48 lots effected by the direct taxation, and unless a majority of the lot owners enter a protest, the prelimi­naries for a White Way will present a modern appearance.
