paying crops a man can raise.
Ed D. Kelly, the popular ice.
man, spent a few days visiting
with his brother Thomas at Lar.
imore last week. Mr.. Kelly on
his return informed us that the
report to the effect that ice
would only be distributed to the
business houses was without
foundation; tho it was a scarce
article he would have enough to
last the season out.
A bath cleanses the skin and rids the
pores of refuse. A bath makes for bet
ter fellowship and citizenship. Not
only should the outside of the body be
cleansed, but occasional use of laxa-
tive or cathartic opens the bowels and
clears the system of effete matter. Best
for this are DeWitt's Little Early Ris-
ers Pleasant little pills that do not
grippe or sicken. Sold by Mccoy Il Co.,
Druggists.
J. w. Aiken, one OF our careful
farmers, was in from the Olive
country Tuesday, kicking be-
cause his Independent did not
arrive in time. The Olive mail
goes via Sawyer, and we have
reasons to believe that the mail
clerks do not throw the Olive
bundle off until Sawyer is passed.
Mr.. Aiken raised from 25 to %
bushels of wheat to the acre and
16 bushels OF flax.
Edgar Weatherbee, who always
has a good word to say for his
home country, Douglas, visited
Minot last week. He reports
Lonnoe Brannon's oats averag-
ing 60 bushels per acre, but says
the Douglas farmers will have to
get in the habit of treating their
seed wheat for smut. The wheat
in that vicinity is very smutty
this year.
Miss Constance DISCARD and
Eugene DISCARD left Thursday
night for Minneapolis, where they
will attend the State University.
They we're accompanied by their
mother who will remain with
them for a time. Miss DISCARD
and brother each made an ex-
cellent record in the Minot
schools and we expect to have a
good report from them at the
University.

John Botz, ST., returned from
the Minnesota State Fair and
from Sank Center Mimi, where
he visited old time friends. John
used to live at Sank Center some
twenty years ago, but came out
to North Dakota and became
too poor to move away. 1t was
the best thing that ever happen
ed, for he managed to get along
by gathering buffalo bones and
selling them until he made money
at farming, and he has been
making money hands over fist
ever since. Botz has just one
fault, he's a democrat, but he
can't help it. Like Topsy in In
Gle Toms Cabin, he just 'growed'
that way.
"Uncle Billy" Winter, from
Bancroft, Ia, is the guest Of his |
sons Frank and Alden of near
Glenburn. He is "a years OF |
age, as spry as cricket, and has
had more varied experiences
than most men. He was a sailor
until he was A. years OF age, Wis
iting many points on the globe.
In the year 1S49 he dug gold in
California and he was a soldier
in the civil war, fighting in the
same regiment with r. w. Dav-
idson Of this city. He called on
Mr.. Davidson at his home in this
city Monday and the two old
