PAGE TWO BUTTE ASTRONOMER BELIEVES PORTIA HAD BEEN EATING PRUNES When He Predicted End of the World; Farm Purchaser Is Moving In (Special to Pioneer.) Clearbrook, Dec. 19.—What has become of the prune feasters here, who had the brass to predict the end of the world in a maze of frost from 90 to 300 degrees below zero from the 17th to the 19th of December. Prof. James Spencer, an astronomer from Butte, Mont., while in Minne- apolis the other day, said this about the prediction given out by one Por- tia of California. ‘‘While not at- tempting to argue the matter, Mr. Spencer indicated that his personal opinion is that the professor has been feasting on prunes. It is true that the planets will be grouped on one side of the earth in December, but so they were in May, and the worst that happened was a shortage of sugar. Our observations in Butte, confirmed by the government obser- vatories, led us to suspect that this good old world of ours will continue to do business at the same old stand for a long time to come.” Hans, Charley and Hartvig Ness departed for a holiday visit with rela- tives and friends over in Polk coun- ty, Wis., Tuesday evening. Albert Olson of Litchfield, this state, who last year purchased the Burt B. Bardwell homestead in the township of Leon, about six miles northeast of Clearbrook, has been busy moving on his fine farm the last few days. He arrived here with a car of machinery and stock. He was accompanied by his two brother-in- laws. Our public school adjourned Fri- day for a two weeks holiday vacation and needed rest and refreshment for teachers and scholars. A. C. Townley is still the ‘active head of the Nonpartisan league, while the league headquarters at St. Paul have just announced that it will cost $18 per head to belong to the boys after this in order to keep up with the high cost of living. This will apply to both old and new mem- bers alike. Miss Caroline Larson returned to her home at Climax, thi sstate, Wed- nesday, after an extended visit with her home at Climax, this state, Wed- place. Her sister, Elma, arrived last week and will now visit here for some time with her sister, Mrs. Olof Engen. First Motion Pictures. The motion picture was experiment. ed with and test exhibitions were pri- vately given in both this country and Burope in the early ninetles, though it was not until 1895 that the inven- tion had so far advanced as to make a public exhibition practicable. The latter part of that year they were ex- bibited fn Europe and America. i Kitty’s Airplane. Caroline. my four-year-old sister, having seen a few airplunes lately and knowing how they sound from a dis- tance, said one evening: *“Daddy, do you know our little kittie has an alr- plane inside of him?" “Why?" asked daddy. “Because,” answered Caroline, “every time I hold him on my lap, I can hear it going.”—Exchange. o LODGE IS DEAN OF THE U. S. SENATE Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, portrait herewith, oc- cupies a large share of public atten- tion because of his prominence in the treaty fight in congress. Also the new congressional directory of the Sixty- sixth congress shows that he has the ator of the United States. He entered the senate March 4, 1893, and has served ever since. Three senators, Francis E. War- ren of Wyoming, "l‘homns S. Martin of Virginia and Knute Nelson of Minne- sota, entered the senate together on March 4, 1895, .and have served con- tinuously since then. Senator Warren, however, served as United States sen- ator from:i Wyoming from December 1, 1890, to March 4, 1833. He has served a longer time, therefore, as a senator than any other man in the upper chamber, but, as will be seen, his I service has not been continuous. Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania entered the senate March 4, 1897. Charles A. Culberson of Texas and Porter J. McCumber of North Dakota entered to- gether March 4, 1899, and have served since that time. William P. Dillingham of Vermont entered the senate October 18, 1900, and F. M. Simmons of North Carolina entered March 4, 1901, and they still are serving. Lee S. Overman of North Carolina and Reed Smoot of Utah came March 4, 1903, and still are in thelr seats. longest continuous service of any sen- || IF YOU SHOULD FIRE INSURANCE REAL ESTATE REYNOLDS & WINTER 212 Beltrami Avenue Phone 144 BECOME TOTALLY INCAPACITATED Account of an accident or disease, the disability feature in the latest NEW YORK LIFE POLICY would guarantee you an amount equal to 10 per cent of the face of the policy EVERY YEAR AS LONG AS YOU LIVE 10% on a $3,000 policy would equal $25.00 per month. 10% on a $6,000 policy would equal $50.00 per month. 10% on a $9,000 policy would equal $75.00 per month. 10% on a $12,000 policy would equal $100.00 per month.

MITCHELL The New York Life Man Northern Nat’l Bank Bldg., Room 8 Phone 575W e | Keep Accounts. ;! Farming is a business the same ag banking or running a mercantile estab+ lishment. There are products to be sold and articles to be bought. The keeping of a record of these and de- termining the relation of the outgo to the income are important considera- tions on every farm. The farmer should know what his income is and Just how he is disposing of it. He can know this only by keeping books and the first of the new year is the proper time to begin.—Exchange, —_— 3 & Sound of Cannonading.
