A Park River business man who has
little more push than some business
men, got up special sale and had kid
ring a bell outside of his store to attract
the crowd, and the mayor of the town,
who hammers all day on blacksmith's
anvil, said the noise of the bell made his
head ache and he fined the merchant
s27.4O. which included the costs. Park
River citizens are naturally indignant
over the treatment afforded the business
man, and intimate that the progressive
ness of this age is too much for the
mayor.-Fargo Call.

Father Lacombe. one of the oldest. if
not the oldest missionary in the north
west, passed through Tuesday en- route
to ST. Paul, to confer with Bishop Ire
land and Jim Hill regarding certain
railroad and church interests in the
Calgary, n. w. I. district, where he is
now stationed. Father Lacombe was
very much interested in news from the
pioneers around Pcmbina and Walhalla,
and referred to many humorous Incl
dents of pioneer life in the Red River
Valley. His first visit to Pembina was
in 1917, when in company with Father
Belcourt, they occupied the missionary
field around here for many years. Father
Lacombe is SO years old and quite ac-
tive.-Pembina Express.

consetrated by Bishop Mann and at
tending clergy, the Afford Memorial
Church of Our Savior, built by Mrs. Ed.
J. Brown of New York City in memory

gift. The edifce is of stone and design
