Mr. and Mrs. Marion O'Harra
were recent guests of Will Shannon
at his farm five miles west of He
lix, having accompanied their host
home in his motor car. Incidental
ly, Mr. O'Harra saw the old ranch
which he owned in pioneer days
and would be glad, he frankly con
fesses, to be owning yet. Wheat
in the region visited is yielding
about 35 bushels to the acre.
The August meeting of the La
dies' Guild was held at the home of

In addition to the members Mrs
J. J. Beelcr and Mrs. E. C. Rogers

has not yet threshed his barley,
from which he expects an average
of about 20 bushels. He had 20
bushels to the acre of Early Bart
wheat, spring-sown on
plowing.
