the fourteen skins that compose this

Good Way to Tear Down.

The city council Monday night
decided to raise the opera house
license from so cents for each en-
tertainment to IS. The Indepen
dent can hardly agree with our
city fathersin this. Minot, with
out her entertainments, would
be a very poor city indeed, and
it is no more than right that the
license should be wiped out en-
tirely. This is a good way Of tear
ing down instead OF building up
our city.

SMOKE PROOF

The feed door on this stove is guaranteed smoke
proof and does away with the escape OF smoke SCOT
and gas into the house. Side feed doors used on
other stoves discharge cloud of gas and soot-lad-
ened smoke into the house and scatter SCOT and
ashes over the carpet when opened.
Another point: In feeding coal into a side feed
door it has to be thrown into the stove. which
usually results III scattering much of it over the
floor. With our cleanly smoke proof feed door
the coal is poured into the stove even to the dust
in the bottom of the hod without particle being
spilled on the floor.
This clean and economical stove burns the gases
which often escape into the rooms with other
stoves. The annoyance and dirt from kindlng
new fires is dispensed with, as the rooms are heat
ed up for two or three hours each morning with
the fuel put in the night before and the Fire is
Never Out. COLES ORIGINAL HOT
BLAST is the cleanest stove made and will more
than save its cost in fuel each winter.

gone through the process many times of spreading
newspaper or cloth under your stove every time
the over-hlled pan is removed.
The ash pan is not only dirty, but is great evil
in stove construction. 1t adds door and joints
which can be made only temporarily air.tight by
the use of stove putty. These joints open after
few weeks use. rendering ash pan stoves worthless
as fire keepers. 1t makes them fuel-eaters rather
than fuel-savers. The ash pan and the shield for
guiding ashes into the pan also prevent base heat

pointing his pupils for the big Michigan game of
Oct. p, and while confessing that the chance
of annexing the honors is extremely remote. is
bent making the most Of the material that is
offered The spirited practice of the past few
days has encouraged Booth, but there are still
many weaknesses and Booth and his assistants
are striving as never before to correct them.
The first of the week witnessed some switch
ing in the cornhuskers varsity squad. One of
the tackle positions was not filed to Booths
satisfaction, and he finally resolved to trans
fer Weller from left half to left tackle. Weller
had all the earmarks of the ideal halfback. He
carried the ball IN superb style, helped other
runners better than most every other man on
the team and backed up the line effectively
that 1t was blow to Booth to make the shift.
Weller was a subtackle and halfback last sea-
son. but his Improvement this season is one OF
the most promising features Of the practice. At
tackle he began by charging the scrubs and
moving them down in all directions, convincing
Booth that he cannot find Wellers superior as

One of the guard positions is also causing
Booth some concern. Nelson left guard, is the
husky man Of the varsity squad, but his style
does not satisfy. few weeks Of instruction
may work wonders with him and prompt the Ne

guard, but in the interim Booth has called one
of his substitutes, Rice, into action, and is bent
on giving Rice thoro tryout Rice lacks Mel
