Assumed Duties as Auditor Of Bottineau
County on Monday.

John p. Simon on Monday
took up his duties as auditor of
Bottineau county, to which
office he was elected at the
general election last fall. Mr..
Simon is a good business man
and with the clerical experience
he has gained as deputy clerk
of court he is capable of main
tanning the office at high
standard of efficiency.
Iver NJ. Brandjord, the retir-
ing auditor, leaves the office
after six years of faithful SER
vice. He is at present in Okla
homa on business and pleasure
trip and expects to leave about

Leckmann died Tuesday morn
ing at his residence west of
town, after a long illness from
dropsy. Mr.. Leckmann first
came to Bottineau county in
1905 and bought the Caldwell

ago he arrived with his family
from Illinois, being i'll at the
time of his arrival. He con-
tinued to grow worse until
relieved by death Tuesday

Shorty M'Cabe.

Have you made the acquaint-
ance of the latest hit in Ameri
can humor-Sewell Ford S
"Shorty McCabe' stories? If
not you are missing heap of
fun. Shorty is a character"
in every sense of the word. AS
an artist in humorous slang he
can match George AIDES fables,
and as creator of original and
witty phrases he can match
Mr.. Dooley, but Shorty can
beat all his predecessors in the
art of telling a good story. 1t
is genuine good story every
time, too, with a hilariously
funny plot and with characters
that are alive and kicking, full
of the quirks and absurdities of
universal human nature.
Shorty McCabe, his better
half, Sadie, and their laughable
adventures in New York society
can be found and enjoyed only
in the Sunday magazine of The
Chicago Record-Herald, whose
editor has the honor of having
discovered Sewell Ford 8
powers as a humorist. This
unique magazine is filled with
good fiction and timely articles
every week, written by many
of the most noted authors of
our day, but nothing seems
able to overshadow the peren-
nial interest in the Shorty Nc
Cabe stories, which appear
every second week throughout
the year. Wherever you go
you will hear pesple talking
and laughing over them.
Thousands of people take the
Sunday Record-Herald simply
for it's Sunday magazine and
the inimitable Shorty McCabe.
It begins to be a question
whether Shorty is not a more
popular parsonage than Mr..
DOOleY.
