It is nice out here on the high
way—bright sun, twittering birds,
swooping eagles, waddling porcu
pines, ptarmigan, no wind, clean
snow, sparkling waters, all the '
glory of the wide open spaces.
And we get along and work to
gether out here—we are just
country people and don't know
anything about politics.
t' j
For instance the women have
recently gotten together and have
formed a semi-monthly sewing i
club, as we feel we have much
in common and want to get bot
i
ter acquainted. The first meeting
was held at Mrs. Lyle Douglas' !
pretty home, and the coming one,
will be at the home of Mrs. Ives.

The two roadhouses are open

declares he has been pouting for
live days!
The two little Stevens boys,
Robert and Lee have recently un
