rumor that has been current In politi
cal circles for some time. Farrell and
holster have been together In police
court for 10 years, having been ap
pointed by Justice Whelen, and Wal
ter's friends regard il as quite fitting
that he should step up along with
Tom.
Both as police court clerk and as
chairmanaof the Republican city com
mittee, Mr.. holster has rendered
splendid service and has made many
friends. In all the public Offices OF
the city there is no one more popular

Henry Mertsch will succeed Farrell

has always done, and it is reason
able supposition that that is what he
will always continue to do

will always continue to do.
Minot is to have her first market
day on June 6. This ought to be good
news to our country friends, for
wherever market day has been es-
tablished it has proven a great sue
cess. It is an old-fashioned event, but
changed in these later days in accord
with the progressive times. Minot's
market day will be held once each
month if the plan is a success, and
we believe it will be. Farmers hav-
ing anything to sell may bring it to
this city on that day, and it will be
sold to the highest bidder for cash.
A competent auctioneer will be secured
who will do all in his power to get a
good price for that which is sold
Bidding will be brisk. People will
have to learn to act quickly. Much
stuff will needs be sold. A farmer
may have fat COW which he wishes
to dispose of and in turn he may wish
to buy fresh milch cow The market
will be the price which he will want
ITO visit. After the first market day
a small commission may be charged.
thongh we cannot say this for certain.
None will be charged on the first day.

with Minot, but is going to be
success. One citizen OF Minot wha
