The Dividend for each year for five years hack. This is the first dividend the ele has paid and it covers the time curing which it was not in operation.

Your next year's suit is going to cost you a good bit more than it cost this spring. Perhaps prices will be so high that you will have to make the old suit do another year. That s what the expert budget makers mean when they include only onethird of a suit a year in a vyage earner's budget.; You will probably cuss the increase,, but be sure you don't follow the lead of President Wood of the American Woolen Trust and blame it on. the 12 x / 2 per cent increase he gave his employes 1 to keep them on the job iaet sprir.pr. Wood has made good his threat. He| has announced the prices for serges 1 and other woolen goods for next | spring's wear. And the prices ar e ' about 8 per cent higher than those .of six months ago and lo per cent higher than those of a year ago. Do the wage increases warrant speh an in crease in price? . Take a standard serge, No. 3192 in the lingo of the trade. Last years price was $2.50 a, yard. Six months ago the price was $2.67%. The new price is $2.87% a yard. That's an m crease of 37% cents in a year and 20 cents since February. The increased pay envelope of the wage earner was responsible for less, than 5 cents of this increase in the cost of his product. The whole labor cost of making a yard of this goods is less than 39 cents and the increase m rates was only 12% per cent. &^ lvet ^ dealers™« raw ^°°} en and for th b R d W °° * _— \Y tar cinriFTY WILL ALT ÄmÄ DSD pp E K The ,adieS of ^ Altar TUA ^ ve a dinner and su PP er at the Bol ' ster Building,Saturday, August 4th, at 11:30 and 6:30 until all are served. of-PHILLIP FOSS BREAKS RIGHT ARM in PlentySao^Sat^rday^Sg with his son p HUHp who had the misfor tune to break his right- arm while in | , a scuffle with a larger boy, who fell ?» the arm in such a way as to break I it.

PLENTYWOOD CHAUTAUQUA AUGUST 4 TO 9 INCLUSIVE FIRE DAMAGES a KOIKE HOUSE Blaze Supposed to Have Started from Electric Fla-t Iron From Which the Current Had Not Been Shut Off— No One Home at Time of Fire. Last Thursday evening about nine o'clock the general populace of Plem tywood were stirred into action by the call of the fire siren. The chemical engine was on its way to the Koike home in the east part of the city almost immediately with the first call of the siren and upon arriv ing it was discovered that the whole back of the house was in flames and it seemed for a while that the flames extended through the entire interior of the structure, but upon investiga tion after the chemicals had been played on the flames it was found that only the back portion of the house was the victim of the flames. At the time of the fire no one was at home, but in the afternoon a large amount of ironing had been done in the enclosed porch on the back of the house and it is thought that upon fin ishing the work the electric flat iror was left with the electric current still passing through it, which eventually caused a flame with the above men tioned results. While the damage to the building was considerable, the loss through smoke and water will be even great er, as Mr. Koike's beautiful home ^as furnished in a most elaborate style. Mr. Koike is fortunate in the fact that the loss is practically covered by insurance. The fire laddies did good work and it was through their fast and efficient work that the whole building was sav ed from destruction by the hungry flames. _ REDSTONE CITIZEN PASSES AWAY Terrace McGowan, well known farmer of the Redstone vicinity, died last Tuesday, July 31st, of apoplexy, at his home in that precinct.

LIGHTNING HIT TWICE , . , . , ,, The fatal accident occured at the home of the boy s father, r rank rep per, about 2 1-2 miles from Glentana. The father and son were in the sum kitchen when it was struck. The boy was stunned and the father car ried him into the house and was try ing to bring him back to consciousness and the boy was just getting over it when a second bolt came down the chimney and struck the unfortunate boy in the head, passing through his body and killing him instantly. The father was badly burned on the with which he was holding his TAKES BIG * mcr son and was also more or.less stunned. The accident is a particularly dis tressing one as the boy was just grow ing into manhood, and was known to many Scobeyites, having lived in the vicinity of Scobey and just moved to the Glentana country a year ago. tnct report that the hail was just big lumps of ice, all shapes and sizes with jagged corners, and the most of it about the size of a man's fist When they hit the hard ground they bounced up 6 or 8 feet and where it was ac compamed by the wind it ruined gram crops and chopped corn dov, n as only 'hail can .... , rn ANIMALS KiLLEli . . e f f rmer comiI }S reports that he found a coyote with its oack broken g ^ d j |j v i n g > The wound showed |v, a j- a j iad s t one had struck it.

Some West Fork people state that young calves were killed in the open range, unable to get shelter. Many of the farmers crops are a total loss as only in a few instances did they have hail insurance. Others were making applications for state in surance or about to m !cs, 't, as soon as they could get waiveis on the crop mortgages. Senator Greenup, C nimissioner Es val and his brother, Harvey Haugen, Jim Mead and scores of others not yet heard from were hailed. The crop was a very good one this year and to see it laid waste is not the most encouraging spectacle to farm ers.—Scobey Sentinel.
