 "This city needs a large auditorium for festival purposes. There is talk of holding a grand opera festival here next year. If such an enterprise $ projected it will be up to the citizens to provide a suitable building. Birmins- ham needs an auditorium, not only for festivals, out for large conventions.

C|7Ys NAME WAS PUzzLER
Rev. Mr.. Smith Couldn't Understand
That Devils Lake Really Didn't
Mean Anything Unusual

Fargo has a splendid collection of
public officials. says w. A. Smith, COL
ored, an elder Of the African Meth
odist church taken in charge by the
local authorities this afternoon. Rev.
Mr.. Smith had just arrived from Far
go this morning after a strenuous ex-
%perience with Fargo authorities.
But they treated him right, he says,
their final act being the collection OF
a purse and the purchase of a railroad
ticket to Grand Forks.
And when Chief Lowe suggested
that he continue ION his way" with
Devils Lake as a probably objective
point, there was an unexpected de-
velopment.
Devils Lake!" he cried. "You don't
mean to send me to Devils Lake. do
you?"
Don't you think that would be a
nice placer" the chief asked in reply.
And straightaway Mr.. Smith dis
covered that Devils Lake was a city
and not. as he supposed, satan's
swimming pool.
This Mr.. Smith is quite a character.
He claims to be a slave negro, a regu-
larly ordained Methodist minister,
and is looking for a place where there
are enough colored people to start a
church.

TO VIE FOR HONOR
Of BEING FIRST
OEPOS|T0R
Postal Savings Bank Opens
Saturday Morning at 9
O'clock

With Saturday morning at Q o'clock
as the time fixed for the opening Of
the United States postal savings bank
in Grand Forks: rivalry for the honor
of being the first depositor bids fair
to become quite heated. The postof-
fee money order department will
handle the postal savings, and ]. ].
Dunlop. assistant postmaster, has
been delegated by Postmaster Kent as
chief clerk in charge Of this new
branch.
Conditions which have prevailed in
other cities of the United States
where postal savings banks have
been opened very likely will exist in
Grand Forks. In many instances
pOstoffice authorities have arrived at
their offices on the morning of the
opening date to find a line of pros
pective depositors formed, with the
honor Of being the first depositor par
ticularly sought after.
Grand Forks will be the second
first class postoffice in North Dakota
to open the postal savings bank,
Fargo having opened its new depart
ment just a few days ago, although
both cities ere designated as postal
savings cities at the same time.
Postal savings banks no longer are
c%uriosities in the United States as a
result Of the campaign that has been
waged by the postmaster general in
the establishment of the offices. This
is the first month that any first class
postofices have been opened as post
al savings banks, but the movement
is spreading rapidly and it will be a
matter Of only a short time before
every Office in the United States of
any consequence will have this new
line of work.
In North Dakota, Wahpeton was
the first city to be selected as a
postal savings city, Bemidji holding
the honor in Minnesota.
Several North Dakota postal saw
ings banks report a condition with
reference to the new departure that
is anything but encouraging, the de-
posits being very small while the de-
p%ositors are few.
In the twin cities there has been
seen n of the heaviest deposit rec
ords, the amounts deposited there be-
ing quite large and very much more
than was anticipated.

the number is increasing constantly
at the present time and 1t will only
be a matter Of a few years before the
state federation to be organized here
will have q formidable membership.
Grand Forks committees are hard
at work at the present time laying
plans for the coming meeting. It is
held on Sunday In order that the dele
gates from out Of the city may come
here without interruption in their
work, but the organization work will,
as a matter Of fact, be started Satur-
day evening, September 80. so that
everything will be in readiness to
proceed without delay on the day fol-
lowing.
The sentiment that has been Great
ed for a state federation has not come
through any dissatisfaction at the
condition that existed when the Flick
ertail assemblies were merged with
the Minnesota assemblies. except in
sofar as It will allow for more in
dividual work on the part Of the
unions Of this state.
The committee on reception of Wis.

SUNDAYS AFTER
OCTOBER.
Postmaster Kent Announces
That New Order Becomes
Effective at That Time
MAIL
CAN BE SECURED
In Accordance With Plan of
Reducing Work to Mini
mum on Sabbath
NAL,
CAN BE SECURED

In accordance with orders that
have been received from Washington.
the Grand Forks postofice will close
sundays, notice of which is given in
the following statement made over
Frank v. Kent's signature today. Oc-
tober 1 is the time fixed for the new
order. Mr.. Kent's statement follows:
To the Public: Orders have been
received from the postoffice denart-
ment at Washington for the closing
OF tne money order and registry room
and the carriers windows on Sunday.
The general delivery window will re-
main open for one hour on that day,
from 10 until II o'clock. to accommo-
date transients only.
All mail will be distributed to the
boxes as usual and the lobby will re-
main open SO that those who have
boxes can get their mail at any time
day or night. Mails will be received
and dispatched as usual, and the
usual Sunday collections made from
the boxes.
This new rule will go into effect
Sunday, October 1, for the first time.
Those who have their mail delivered
by carrier ordinarily, can secure a
box to have their mail placed therein
on Sunday only, IL they SO desire-so
long as the supply of boxes lasts;
there are only a few which can be
rented. The government charges Just
as much for the box when it is used
once q week as for continuous service.
Persons expecting important mail
on Sunday. which is usually delivered
by carrier, can have the same deliv-
cred to them by filing a written re-
quest not later than Saturday after
noon at 8 o'clock and calling at the
stamp window Sunday morning dur
ing the open hour.
Letters can also be obtained by
leaving written instructions and a
%ten-cent special delivery stamp for
each letter expected on Sunday, at
the general delivery window any time
during the week, and the letter will
be sent to the home, office or hotel by
special messenger.
1t is the intention of the department
to have anything urgent cared for on
the Sabbath, but to do away with all
the unnecessary work possible. and
it is believed the public generally will
cooperate with the postmaster gen.
eral in reducing the necessary Sunday
work to a minimum.

DISASTROUS JOYR|OE
OCCURRED TUESDAY
NIGHT
J. D. Bacon's Automobile Ap,
propriated by Midnight
Riders

Some person or persons, the identi-
ty of whom ]. D. Bacon believes he
knows. took the latter's q. NJ. F. tour
ing car from beside the Hotel Daco-
tab late Tuesday night and proceed
ed to burn up gasoline and more
miles an hour than prescribed by law.
The result of the JOY ride was a
wrecked automobile. ~
The person driving the car is sup
posed to have come down the River
side park drive at a reckless speed
and to have tried to take the corner
at the intersection Of Hill avenue and
st. Michaels drive at too great q
speed as the a was run into the
curbing. The a axle and several
castings were broken, the front axle
was badly twisted and the amount of
damage will be determined at the gar.
age.
MI. Bacon stated this afternoon,
that his car had been taken before
and that he had never raised n par
ticular protest against his friends u.s.
ing his machine, but he did not like
to think that any one would be small
enough to take the car, smash It up.
and then lay low and not confess to
the poor driving. Mr.. Bacon does not
object to paying for a little gasoline
or event repairs but has contempt for
q sneak.
He thinks he knows the guilty r
ties n may go after them to the full
extent of the law unless they admit
their guilt in short order. The Of
tense comes under the class of mali
cious mischief and is punishable by a
term OF n year in the state peniten-
tiary.
