were "looking for work He hired
them atS2.5O day to work with his
threshing machine, and told them he
would not charge them for board when
it rained. The men went with him. In
the morning man called the attention
of the farmer to the fact that the fel.
lows were "hiking out" The farmer
hitched up his horse and taking an
other man with him started after the
fellows. Overtaking them on the road
the farmer said 81 thought hired you
men to work" So YOU did," said one of
the men, 'but we thought your work
didn't look good to U.S. "Well,''i re-

zach of you for your breakfast, and %
cents from each Of you for coming after

the buggy will assist if necessary" The
fellows handed over the money. glad te

The Ward County Reporter will
about October l, begin the publ

position to the Daily Optic. Mi.

The starting Of the new paper
may have some political signi.
ficence. Roach now practically
owns the Minot Optic and as a
division in tile ranks OF the re-
organizers is imminent, thestart.
ing of the new daily is but the
fore runner OF that which will
come later. There is scarcely
room for more than Ole good
daily paper in Mlnot and itlooks
to a man up a tree that it will
result in the survival of the fit
test. The Independent will be
only too pleased to welcome the
new daily, as it gives us the
weekly field practically to our
selves, and we intend working it
for what there is in it. The In
depenkent will keep it's weekly
right up to the front row, ever
striving to give the people
something better in the way Of a
newspaper.
