WRITES EDITOR FRO£ MONTANA Jesse F. Cory Tells of Country And It Many Changes i Chester, Montana. December 11, 1914- ; Editor Journal, Syracuse, Ind. I Nearly five years have elapsed since I left Syracuse and I presume many changes have taken place since then (not because I left however) . Many of the younger class who were you might say in their kinckerbockers or kindergarden are now married and have family ties of their own. And many deaths have occured among those of my intimate acquaintance reminding us all too vividly how time is fleeting then again we are reminded of what will the harvest be, what are we sowing for the reaper that all devouring Scythe of time. There have been many changes in this country since I came here; from a country that was solej adapted to and used for stock raising and it was surely was an ideal Country for that, it has been converted into or I should say is being fast converted into a grain raising country each year, every home- ■ steader is adding to his acreage of I cultivated land and some have i nearly their entire 320 acres under cultivation, that being the amount !in a homestead here. Dry land i farming being the system employed ' and we find by following the land there can be a very good crop raised even in a very dry season. This has been the dryest season for several years in fact Milk River ceased to flow for three months, something that has not occured for twenty-two years they tell me. Yet some raised from twenty to twenty-nine bushels of wheat per acre. Where lam located now is twelve miles south of what is known

as the Sweet Grass Hills and about eighty miles from the main range/ of the Rockies, I can look out of my window on any clear dav and see them very distinctly. I am eight miles from the railroad and tweha miles from Chester the nearest town just now. We are circulating a petition to have the county devided and if successful Chester will undoubtely be the county seat, the county now is fifty-four miles wide by ninty-six miles long and Haute the county seat is sixty-five miles from Chester; then the new county will be thirty-six by seventytwo miles, large enough to be devided again sometime in the future. You see what we did this election, granted women suffrage so I presume there will be some radical changes in our state laws especially in the temperance laws, something badly needed in this country. We have had a beautiful fall and winter thus far, just now it is a little cold. Hold the wire till F step and see how cold it is; hello, yes just six below but that is considered very mild winter weather here. It is very dull here during the winter months, nothing to hunt but jack rabbits and coyotes, there are antelope but they are protected the year round. If we go to the mountains there are plenty of game such as deer, bear and elk. There is little fishing here except in the Missouri and Marias rivers. I see in the Journal mv old and substantial friend George W. Miles State Game and Fish Commissioner is confined to his home through serious illness, this I am very sorry to hear. There are none who wish him a speedy and permanent recovery more than I. Now if this is not relegated to the waste basket you may hear from me again. I close wishing you one and all A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and success to the Journal. Jesse F. Cory. Mistake In Date A mistake was made in last , week’s issue of the Journal in regard to the date of the sale of Allen S. Fields. It will be held December 29th.

IRE REASONS GIVEN BELOiII A Rural’ Subscriber Explai.s The Altitude Os The Farmer A lady—the wife of a farmer - wrote the letter printed below at d we belive from many remarks emanating from farmers, it is the a titude taken by the rural community. It is a wise merchant v ho will study the article in last week’s issue and the one printed below—not only study it but learn from it—not only learn from it but act from the knowledge that you will have gained. Why don’t I do my shopping in Syracuse? Because—l’m one of a large army of bargain hunters, and try to buy where I can find as large an assortmemt as possible, of the best goods for the least money, and in this I firmly believe I’m voicing the honest sentiment of ever shopper in or near Syracuse. 'Because so many of us still have the beli el that by going to Chicago, Sou l) Bend, Fort Wayne or even to Elkhart, Goshen or Warsaw, wegrati y this longing. Maybe we don’t, in fact I know we don’t, but until the Syracuse business men, by the right kind of advertising convince Prof the fact that we gain nothing by buying else where; that they hive just as good and just is c heap as can be bought in any other place, then and only thm will they attract us from the beaten path. And by the wav why not let ref rm begin at home? Here’s a true story to illustrate The wife oi a merchant in one of our small tow; s, rot in Syrascue, tho I fear some >f the Syracuse merchants wives at d i aughters, to say nothing of l e merchants themselves can’t ph d “not guilty” vho is always ripj ig to the mail order houses and o nose who buy out of towi>, v s 1 iving a dress made, the mate- 11 rin short and the inerchaui’s "tow held up her hand in hurror, un i e- - aimed to the dress maker.

’ (h! what will I do? I bought ,tl it I v hole dress, triiihning an 1 all n Fort Wayne a month ago.” Yes, we patronize mail or n ' Louses too. We country people 1 <o, and most of us town folks h e , Shears and Sawbuck or W; it i ore of your money Ward ca:alo le t scked away out of sight of : it 1 ying neighbors. If you don’t be- . I eve me ask your Syracuse postmaster and express agent. Jones • he grocery man thinks as we all de that the mail order houses are driving the dear old town to the dogs and that every one should patroni zt their home merchants, yet when he needs a new delivery wagon or a.iy 4hing large in the hardware line he gets out his “Michigan bible” (mail order catalogues) and orders it from Chicago or direct from soi u factory because its cheaper than o order through Smith his hardware merchant across the street. Am Smith when sugar soars high in the air sends his order for $lO worth ol groceries to Shears and Sawbuc ts where he can get 40 lbs for SI.OO. And so it goes on. Our country friends are told th it they ought to buy of the ho:e merchants, poor long suffering who tell to them on long credit while they send their cash through the mail. Our farmer friend goes into town with a load of fine big home grovn potatoes for which he asks the reasonable low price of 50c per bushel and is met with the reb; fl of “0 ‘tut tut man’ I bought a cir bad from Michigan for 30c.” Another farmer who had home grov n and manufactured brooms to st 11 a year or ’ two ago when offeri; g them to our Syracuse merchants was confronted with the stateme it | that they were buying of an age it f »m some Ohio penitentiary wh* e | brooms were manufactured cheap -*r t an our Koscusko county farme: i c uld possible offord to raise, ma .- u.acture and sell them. ■ Patronize home industry and i- - I terests did you say, Yes, but wl o I pf us does it? Personally there s s« mething mightv “comfy” abo .t ti e mail order plan. No matt r h w stormy the daj, nor how bad y my corns ache I can lounge in an e. sy chair before a blazing tire a; d c talogue shop in ease and comj (Continued on page 5) j
