honestly and fearlessly / regard as my

that man is worthy to receive the support

81 also wish to reiterate what I said
in my pulpit a few weeks ago relative TO
this matter. I declared that church and
state union has no place In our common
wealth or among us. We are what we
choose to be--Amoricans first, last and
always-and it would be a woeful day
for this great country or any country
when mans religious views either pre-
vented his gaining a public office or

TO the flag is a cardinal virtue which we
beittle when We defeat for or elect to

Here's the easiest way that's ever been
discovered to wash clothes-either in SUM
mer or winter.
For the white things: Wet the clothes,
soap well with Fels-Naptha, roll and let
soak for thirty minutes in cool or lukewarm
water. Unroll, rub lightly, rinse and hang
out to dry.
That's all; no boiling, no hard rub
bing, no hot water. ~
This simple Fels-Naptha way OF wash
ing makes your clothes sweeter, whittier,
cleaner than you can. get them any other
way.
And the clothes last longer because
they are not weakened by boiling, nor
worn by hard rubbing.
Worth trying'
1t is for the woman who values her

things, see plain directions on the red and

The present business of The Hatch
er Brothers corporation commenced
In the spring Of 1903 as a co-partner-
ship of the four brothers known as
Hatcher Brothers, with small Of

to the basement of the Clifford build

moved to the Northwestern building,
where few months later their Of
fees were enlarged and they are to-
day the largest and best equipped Of

of business.
In November, 1905, the business
was incorporated under a state char

maintained at both Grand Forks and

DAVID 4. BEECHER SELLS MS LOAN AND
INVESTMENT BUSINESS TO HATCHERs
Something About the Firm Which by This Purchase Becomes
One of the Largest Loan and Investment Concerns in
the Northwest

A deal which involves the largest
financial operations probably in the
history OF the city, was completed last
night when David H. Beecher trans
ferred to the Hatcher Brothers cor
poration his entire loan and invest
ment business. The actual money
consideration has not been given out
by the parties, but the ract that the
business is among the largest of its
kind in the northwest would indicate
that It was far into the thousands.
The transfer on the part of Mr..
Beecher includes all his eastern
clients and connections in the loan
and Investment business. He retains
all his banking interestes in the city
and throughout the state. The trans
fer becomes effective today and all the
vast interests which have heretofore
been in the care of Mr.. Beecher will
be from this time on under the con-
troll OF the Hatcher Brothers corpora
ton.

known business men in the city and
throughout the state. He was born in
New York fifty-six years ago and
came to Crookston, Mimi, in 1888,
removing to Park River, N. D., in the
following year, and with Sydney
Clarke of this city engaged in the
banking business and began building
up the enormous loan and investment
business which he had just closed
out to other hands. He has been
identified with the banking and in
iustrial life of Grand Forks for TWEEN
ty years, he and Mr.. Clarke, his
Park River partner, organizing the
Union National bank in this city. He
has always been careful and con-
sentative banker and investor and for
these reasons the business which he
has built up Is among the best in the
country.

o. M. Hatcher came to North Da-
kota in the spring of 1891. He was
