Thought FIoppy Had Turned Republican,

Rugby Optimist: The Op-
timist offers it's sincere apology
to Bro. Falkenstein of the
Bottineau News, for giving
credence to the report as to the
alleged statement of the News
concerning Gov. Burke. We
hardly thought it possible
though so many have changed
their views somewhat lately,
that it would not surprise us to
find that our Bottineau brother
had turned republican at last.

They will make good on the

Gov. John Burke, chairman
of the tuberculosis sanitariun
commission, has written the
secretary of the commercial
club that the missioners
expect to visit the several sites
in the Turtle mountains offered
for the location of the sani-
tariun. They will probably

tineau, but do not expect to
come until later in the season
when the trees are in full leaf
and the mountains can be seen
at their best.
The local com mittee on loca-
tion of the sanitarium is COM
posed of VIM. Collins, G.. L.
Newhouse, A. Berthiaume, DIR.
J. A. Johnson, F. A. H. Smith
and +. w. Cathro.
The directors of the club will
probably invite the members of
the state legislature to spend a
day at Lake Metigoshe some
time in the summer. The
com mittee having the matter
in charge is composed of Sena-
tor u. H. Macarthur, Mayor
John J. Murphy, V. b. Noble,
J. Allen Kemp of the School of
Forestry and F. G.. Falkenstein.
The matter of utilizing the
water power of the mountain
lakes and streams by construct

Isn't This Worth Going After?

Mr.. Merchant you can reach more than
1000 families through the columns of The
Courant each week. There is an average of
three members to each family and their indi-
vldual purchases amount to several hundred
dollars yearly The total business of these
5000 readers will run into the thousands of
dollars within the course of a year and you are
certainly desirous of getting your full share and
more too if possible. They are willing to spend
their money where they can get the best bar
gains, and the merchant offering the best in
ducements will get the biggest share. You
get just as much of this business as you
want it all depends on you, If you don't
want it, or rather if you don't try to get it,
some other merchant will and you must be con-
tent with what happens to come your way. By
using the columns of The Courant each week
you can become intimately acquainted with
them and they will soon learn to look for your
regular ''talks'' on goods, or articles which you
have to offer. It should be something new
each week, otherwise they will lose interest.
Don't think The Courant readers know what
you have on your shelves. They don't buy
from the travelling salesman, therefore they
pect you to keep them informed on what you
have for sale, and especially the new and sea-
sonab1e goods. Mr.. Merchant, let us intro
duce you to class of people who are just as
anxious to buy right, you to SELL Put
your advertisement in The Courant and 20 af-
ter the business in modern way. The city
merchants have made success by following
the twentieth century method-the hustle and
rustic plan-and the country merchants must
adopt the same.

st. Adams, Aug. 31.-A second mys'
FERROUS disappearance within week
is that of Carrie Tuscan, the l5-year-
old daughter of Jerry Tuscan OF smell
don. who has been missing for more
taan a week. The girl. who is large
for her age, and pretty. had been
working for some time for a family
in North Sheldon.A week ago Thurs
dav she obtained permission to visit
her parents and left after supper to
walk there, a distance OF three or
four miles. This was the last time
that anyone, so far as known. saw
the girl.
Her absence was not discovered
sooner owing to the supposition OF
both her parents and employer that
she was at the others house. Search
ing parties have been organized and
every effort is being made to locate
the girl.
The mystery surrounding the as
of Kenneth Boynton, the
12-year-old son of Gates Boynton'
who left home last Monday afternoon

ever. The police at Montpelier
thought they had the boy, but Mr.
