LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Tells of Auto Trip From Remington to Montana. Chester, Mont., Sept. 30, 1919. Editor Democrat: In complying with your request that we drop a line occasionally, I thought perhaps I had better get busy. We arrived here in Chester a week ago today, having been just 12 days on the road and covering 1,722 miles this far. We found most of the roads in good shape, especially those in Wisconsin and Minnesota, where we followed the Yellowstone Trail, it being largely a state road and well graded and kept -op. . . Through North Dakota we had a good road also, inasmuch as we did not follow the main trail part of the time. The Glacier Trail through this state and Minnesota is good and much better than the Red Trail from Minot to Chester, Mont. This road being mostly a real trail —plain, Ungraded country road—with no fences alongside, so If a person wishes to make a short eut there is nothing to stop him from laying out a trail of his own. At this season of the year, however, the roads are dry and in good shape. In fact, we did not drive over 25 miles with chains, and that was after a heavy rain near Jamestown, N. D. Everywhere we saw evidence of a lack of rain this last summer. Through ..North Dakota they have had only approximately a half crop, while here in Montana it has been practically a total failure. We met several families ln.,covered wagons who were leaving the dry farming district and going back to "the States/' However, the majority of them have kept their farms out here and intend to con?e back in the spring and put out a crop, trusting to luck and good fhirtune that there will be plenty of *s®v and rain this winter. Enroute here we passed through the Ph Pock Indian reservation, home of the Sioux Indians, grod saw a great many interesting tfcfmgw Most of the Indians live Up veyaW made of logs and Smbm-wMI with bine elay,or gumbo, a»"tWy call it. However, we saw amoral, teepee* erected |nM outside Se deor of some -of these shacks, f de not know whether these were iteMter kMehen* or whether some if tee old bucks were having a Hvd ten* getting accustomed to E** tedder* ways of living. and

had to sleep in a tent occaHlonally to ease their conscience. We also paHßcd by one of their dance poles, 1 suppose they call it. It i« simply a pole about the size and height of la telephone pole with a pile of brush tied to the top of It, ."nrl some carved figures of animal heads on the sides. We were told that this was where they had their sun dance, of three consecutive days and nights duration. Needless to say they enjoy a dance more than I do, even if Horton and Beam were furnishing the music. We expect to lepve hero in a tew days or as soon as the snow which fell Friday and Saturday has melted and the roads get dry again, going by way of Spokane ®nd Seattle and then south on the coast route. We have been getting The Democrat regularly and are always glad to read the news from Jasper county. . Very respectfully yours, R. A. TAYLOR.

Apples Are Also a Short Crop in Western New York. Ira Brown, formerly of Jasper county, writes The Democrat editor in reply to an inquiry regarding some winter apples, as follows: Sugar Grove, Pa., Oct. 4, 1919. Mr F. E. Babcock, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Editor—Your letter of 25th ult. in regard to apples. Am sorry to say that I am unable to And any apples for sale that have any Quality. The crop is very short and very poor quality, as they are wormy and knotty. If it had been "spuds” I surely could have filled your order. I have five acres that will make 100 bushels to the acre and they are fine ones. Lots of therm- weigh 1% pounds each Mr Keister has a field that is making around 200 bushels per acre. They are selling around $3 per bushel here on the market. We are having a fine fall and all farm work is progressing nicely, most, every one filling their silos, cutting corn and digging potatoes. There has been but very little threshing done In this vicinity, as most of the farmers thresh their buckwheat and oats nt the same time. What oats has been threshed made between 30 and 25 bushels per acre; wheat 25 to 20 bushels, Buckwheat is a bumper crop this Tear. ' If you like chestnuts you will have to come out, The crop is a hegvy one and of fine quality. They are ripe and some are falling. We have had no frost yet to crack the bums, A If any of the Jasper county boys like hunting they bad better shoulder their musket.* and come out here this fan m several ®tee

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

I bunches of deer and black bear have been sighted about 30 lullea southeast of me this summer. The drouth in tJhe mountains drove them to the rlvera. I Well, ns It will be some burden to read thia I will close, hoping you will Ret apples. । Yours respectfully, IRA BROWN. I p s.—if you do not got applM, let me know as I will be going to Jamestown, N. Y., before long and 1 will try to get them from the fruit house there.

Will Chappell, Formerly of Remington, Writes from Aberdeen.

Aberdeen, Wash., Sept. 30, 1919. F. E. Babcock, Rensselaer, Ind. Friend Babcock —Well, I have nrade one more move. 1 sold out in Portland and moved up here. The climate or something did not agree with me In Portland. I ran down to 158 pounds, which 1s the lightest I have been since I was a boy. I spent a week down on the beach and gained 12 pounds. I weigh 174 pounds now and am feeling better. Will go to work for the government in n few days If everything turns out ®ll right. Will have "nothing to do" except to be on the job 8 hours and draw any >3B a week. Aberdeen has the reputation of being the beat business town on the const, having 28 large sawmills on the harbor (Gray’s), nnd building more. 1 was offered four Jobs before I camo over here, all paying more money thmn the government Job. but 1 will take the snap till I get built up. The rainy season has set In, started last night but cleared off fine for the launching of a ship. I went to see It. It was a One sight to see It leaves the "ways’’ If nothing happens I win write and tell you. of my voyage to some foreign port, as I will ship as ship’s carpenter. We are nil fairly well but pretty much scattered.

Please send my paper to 601 West Third street, Aberdeen. Wash. With best regards to you and friends, I am, yours truly, WILL M. CHAPPELL.

AUTOMOBILES

Oct, 8, 1919. Dear Sir: 'Hlave you seen the new Essex Sedan? in beauty of line, completeness of detail and luxury It is unsurpassed. At the same time it is notable for the stume durability, performance and economy of operation which have made the touring model the automobile sensation of the year. The body is finished in satiny, dark green with black fenders and striping which serve to enhance the artistry and distinction of Its straight, sweeping lines. The deep, luxurious upholstery Is covered with grey fabric The front seat bus a solid back, adding to the rigidity of the body. A great surplus of room Is provided for five passengers. In performance, case of riding and the completeness of its appointments, this model equals the most costly cars on the market, while, in addition, its light weight assures low upkeep expense. The number of these Hedans- that we will be able to obtain this year is strictly limited and will fall far short of meeting the demand. Orders are now being filled In the same sequence In which they arc received but the only way to assure early delivery is to order at once, Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK. Scotch experts have found that the African baobab tree yields a fiber that is one of the finest paper making materials.

The cemetery 1a almoat in the center of the quaint French town and aeema to He in the very ahadow of the beautiful cathedral. The grave ia entirely covered by a fine, wellmade cement monument. Het in thia monument la a plate on which hia name and navy rating are marked with the date, October 4, HHB. . . A . . Aa I looked at the grava, 1 tried to think of those who love him In dear America, but the thought uppermoat In my mind was of the care with which hie comrade* at the air station had done everything in their power for him before the station was moved and they returned home. Tho monument which they erected for him ia evidence of their devotion to him. It seemed to mo to bo the best In the entire cemetery. I wish that you, rather than I, might have visited tho grave. 1 am reporting to you about it as beet I can. As you probably know, the care of it will bo continued by tho Graves Registration Service of tho A. E. F. May 1 send you my heartfelt sympathy for your share of tho sorrow which war has brought to the world during tho past four years. Faithfully yours, MAUDE CLEVELAND, Homo Communication Service, American Red Cross.
