This last fall Mrs. W. H. Beebe who lives alone on her farm a mile west of Mears has been very worried for fear she would not have any neighbors to lighten her solitude . She thought some of having Mrs. Doty stay with her this winter but Mrs. Doty wanted one of the partitions taken out of the house so she would have a bigger room to spread herself in and Mrs. Beebe hesitated to change the sacred walls of her house to suit a passing notion . So then she wished she could get some high school girl to stay with her . She hoped some one would move into the empty neighboring houses . And now her prayers are answered . Her wish is granted . The neighbors are coming in num bers . Lowell Merrill moved into the Scott - Vanett place , and the numerous Walker family are go- ing to move into their new farm on the corner . Besides Peter An- derson has come home from Grand Rapids . And if Mrs. Bee- be wants any more neighbors maybe Hans Larson could move into the Swedish church for the winter . And perhaps she could get Mrs. Mathis to live in a tent in the apple orchard .

Some one gave Mrs. Beebe a lit- tle cat for a companion and the dear little thing kept running over to the Swedish church and dis- turbing the services so that Olga Nelson had to get up and lock the cat in the woodshed .
