One of the pleasures of spring is to
watch W. A. Barnes ploughing in a
large field, long, straight furrows of
brown earth. The sober horses plod
steadily back and forth with nodding
heads as though affirming their be
lief in the work undertaken and their
willingness to aid in its accomplish'
merit. In just such fields ia the
wealth of the world, and the health of
it, too.
In a letter to S. A. Barnes, William
MacKenzie, former Westonite, vrites
from Coffee Creek, " Montana, that
two commercial oil wells have been
struck within a few miles of his farm.
Another well is being drilled two
miles away, with good indications.
Mr. MacKenwe says that crop pros
pects in his section of Montana are
good this year.
While K.E. YorK was in nana vai- t i SJ p r"ll SS
la last Friday night his Hudson car J phOtlC Main 253 4- DtiVIS & ClIIS
was stolen, it was iuuuu iuu iu, tun
ing Sunday on Russell creek, five
miles from Walla Walla, and eight
horses were required to pull it out of gjsg-ags
a ditch in which it had Dcen aoanuon
ed. An overcoat, a maekinaw, one"
tire and three Inner tubes were miss
ing. ,
Having completed a sojourn of sev
eral weeks in town, Mrs. R. Morrison,
accompanied by her father, G. S. Tay
lor, returned Sunday to the Mi.rrit.on
ranch. Advent of spring hurried
them to the open to view the rich
black earth, green hilltops, and inhnle
the perfume of wild flowers along
the fence.
Mrs. W. S. Payne had charge of the
library Wedensday in the absence of

Save and Pay Up
Treasury Department advises that it is just as
necessary to save at this time as during the war.
Production is low and distribution hampered by lack
of cars.
In your program of saving it might be well to
visit the Weston Mercantile Co. during their sale
and purchase such supplies as you may need while
theiprice is reduced. Do not forget that Jones &
Jones carry a complete, up-to-date stock of farm
and home supplies. Other Weston stores have com
plete stocks n their lines and
The Farmers Bank
is always glad to extend assistance.
One-half of your taxes should be paid before
April 6th. We shall be glad to attend to this matter
for you if you wish.
