For the last 20 years my life has been ruled by dogs. From the moment I woke in the morning until I went to bed at night there was always something canine that needed doing. Whether it was letting them out or letting them in, filling food bowls or picking up poop, the dogs demanded my attention. From September until January we hunted more days than not, and I loved watching them work. Hunting also tired them out. Consequently they were best behaved in the fall. Wearing them out during the other...
I have a problem. Ok, maybe not the biggest problem. But it is massive! It’s my head. I do not know why the good Lord chose to give me such a massive noggin, but he did and it is a problem! Don’t tell me that it is to hold a massive brain, because if I had a massive brain, I believe that I could use it to become a billionaire. I also think I would be able to remember a lot more things than I forget. For years, I was convinced that I could not find a hat big enough for this dome. For those that h...
Anita Green of Gone to Pieces and Penny Lind plan to host a “Jean Rag Quilt” class using old jeans and leftover flannel (shirts, sheets, etc.). Participants in 4th and 5th grade, or older, will be organized in pairs to complete the project.

As participants get older and their skills improve, the type of quilt can be expanded. In July, the formal class will be once a week for three weeks, with help from adu...

In last week’s article, I wrote about the dairy cows in Phillips County. At the same time as the push to improve the dairy cows’ bloodlines, a new creamery association was being formed. Phillips County farmers met in late June 1924 and organized the Phillips County Creamery and Produce Company. Enough stock had been sold that it was felt the cooperative would be a success. Nine directors were elected to head up the cooperative. They were J.N. Mangis, R.A. Thompson, S.H. Brumbley, Adolph LaFond, Martin Mitchell, J.P. Larson, Frank O. Peterson, F...

The June 11th release of NFIB’s (National Federation of Independent Business) monthly Small Business Economic Trends report didn’t vary much from previous dismal ones, but it did reveal a more troubling finding that prompted the Montana state director for the association that publishes it to call on the state’s Congressional delegation to act faster on two issues that would help reverse small businesses’ slide. “The small business sector is responsible for the production of over 40% of GDP and employment, a crucial portion of the economy,...
