Two Montana veterans illustrate the

road to wealth and happiness. The
other is a disabled man who has

McKenzie is pointed out by the
Legion as an example of what disabled
veterans can accomplish with a little
help. He was assisted through a
«ourse at the Montana State College
and aided in establishing himself on
640 acre homestead by the U. S.
Veterans' Bureau. He has accumulat

10 head of horses, 100 chickens and 7
hogs- Last season he threshed 600
bushels of wheat, oata and barley and
raised 400 bushels of corn.
McKenzie's income for this year is
estimated at $1100. He intends to
purchase an additional 100 head of
ewes, with the same proportion of cat

increasing his animal income to from
$1800 to $2000.
He expects to make final proof on

Monday morning, after a brief illness.
Senator Ladd has been suffering from
neuritis and rheumatism and kidney

in the hospital about ten days ago.
His condition had become quite serious
but was not considered critical until
two days before his death. The af

in his left shoulder which went later
to his wrists and hands. At that time
he was advised against over-exertion
by his physicians. Owing to tremen

EMILY E. SLOAN IS
AWARDED PRIZE FOR
BEST SHORT STORY
Mrs. Emily E. Sloan, county attorn
ey, received notice Saturday that she
had won first prize, $Bü.OOO, offered by
the American School of Correspon
dence for the best short story submit
ted in a contest which was conducted
by them during May. The contest was
participated in by writers from every
part of the United States and the
twenty prizes ranged from fifty dol
lars down to five dollars. In award
ing the prizu to Mrs. Sloan she was
informed that she has not only written
the best story but that she also de
served the prize in point of achieve
ment as to what she had accomplished
in taking the course.
This is the second first prize in lit
erary attainments won by Mrs. Sloan
in recent years, as she took first prize
for the best poem submitted in a con
test conducted by the Billings
Woman's Club two years ago.
Before coming to Montana she had
a recognized standing as a writer of
poems and short stories and has had
several contributions accepted by lead
ing magazines and newspapers. She
is the author of a book of poems called
"Ballads of the Plains", which at
tracted much favorable attention a
few years ago while Mrs. Sloan was
a member of the South Dakota Writ
er's Club, and her picture and some
of her poems appear in a volume en
titled, "South Dakota Literature",
which waa compiled by D. C. Couraey
of Mitchell, South Dakota a few years
ago, Mrs. Sloan took a correspondence
course in law just prior to the two
years she spent in the law department
of the State University at Missoula.
Mrs. Sloan took a correspondence
course in Jounialiism, thus supple
menting a natural talent for litera
ture, and the success st]£ has attained
in both professions may be attributed
not only to natural talent but the hard
work and untiring effort as well.

Mrs. La Follette, the Senator's con
lldante and advisor for 43 years of
married life withstood the shock of
his death bravely. In addition to her
he is survived by two daughters, Mrs.
Fola Middleton of New York and Mrs,
Ralph Sucher of Washington, and two
sons, Philiph of Madison and Robert,
who has served ns his father's secre
tary.
The body was taken Friday to the
senator's home at Madison. No fu
neral services were held here, but on
insistance of those who stood shoulder
to shoulder with him In his battles in
Wisconsin, his body lay in state in
the capitol Sunday, Funeral services
were held Monday in that building,
where he once presided as governor,
and he was laid to rest in Forest Hill
cemetery, beside his parents.
President's Sympathy Among First.
Leaders of all political creeds were
quick, Thursday, to pay tribute to Sen
ator La Follette and acknowledge his
influence on contemporary American
politics. One of the first to offer con
dolences to Mrs. Lu Follette was Presi
dent Coolidge, who wrote:
"The news having ju*t reached me
of the death of Senator La Follette, I
wish to extend to you and your family
the sympathy of myself and Mrs. Cool
idge. As you know, I presided over
the senate for a considerable period
while he was a member of that body,
and so came to know of his great abil
ity and untiring energy.
He has left behind him a great con
course of friends who will ,1 know, do
everything in their power to comfort
you in this hour, but my own experi
ence tells me thsit nothing that mor
tals can do will be of very much help
to you. I trust that you may, as the
years go by, find on Increasing satis
faction in the long list of honors that
were conferred upon Senator La Fol
lette by his countrymen."
Wheeler Sees Influence Continuing.
As soon as he heard of his col
league's death, Senator Lenroot of
Wisconsin, one time follower of Mr.
La Follette, but of late opposed to
him politically, called at the home to
extend his sympthy to members of the
family.
Another who offered condolences
was Sen. Wheeler, of Montana, who, as
vice presidential candidate, shared the
independent ticket with Senator, La
Follette last November. In a state
ment, Senator Wheeler declared "La
Follette dead will be even more power
ful that La Follette living," and pre
dicted "the fight for the principles
which he has advocatecf th-ae many
years will be carried on by the people
with the same indominable courage
which he has always manifested."
From Secrteary Kellog came the
tribute that Mr. La Follette had a
"long and distinguished career of pub
lic service and was a man of great
ability and extraordinary energy and
force."
Borah Lauds Him as Champion
Senator Borah, of Idaho, whos pro
clivity for independent voting fre
quently put him in the same fold with
Mr. La Follette, declared the latter
had been devoted to the public good,
and in all his plans and ambitions a
patriot."
Declaring that "he boldly led," Sen
ator Borah added that "human suffer

tice, could at all times and under all
circumstances, enlist the uncompro
