Have you noted Ben Olson's

Teddy smile that you can easily
note from rear view of the Sheriff
from the corrogations that ripples
up and down the back of his neck
every time he thinks about it..
Borden has declared a dividend

BAND CONCERT
HAS DEFICIT
RESULTS IN FINANCIAL Loss TO OR.
CANlZA1l0N..-WERE ONLY ABOUT
SEVENTY-FIVE PRESENT

The concert given by the Willis
ton Concert Band at the Gates
opera house last Thursday evening
for a fiat financial failure. The
receipts at the door did not pay
the expenses and the band went in
the hole a few dollars.
Much of the services of the
Williston band have been gratuitu-
Gus and for much they have been
ill paid. They have given freely
of their time and talent to the
benefit of this town and whenever
the town desired to do signal honor
to some visitor or gathering, a
grand cry flew upwards to the
stars for the band and the band
esponded to their own honor and
to that of the city.
The Williston band is a good
band. Visitors tell US it is far
above the average band of a city
of this size and are not handing
the town anything when they say
it. Not over handful of months
ago the city vas electrified by a
band that, take the best eighteen
members of our home band, put
them in uniform under their pres
ent director, and eighteen from the
foreign band, the home band would
back them off the map on any
stage before musical audience in
the country.
No, The fellow you hear knock
ing the band on the side lines, if
they do knock, would know a tuba
from cabbage rose and his musi-
cal education was acquired among
the soft and gentle lowing of the
kline. The boys are the goods and
wake up to the fact And further
when Lincoln's birthday comes
around and the masquerade dance
of the band is advertised, don't
stay at home. If you have any
lingering sense of pride in the City
of Opportunity, and faith in the
future of the city, any good will
towards this organization, any de-
sire to see the band grow with the
town, don't stay at home.
There is a lot in moral support.
Dollars and cents don't altogether
count by any means with the men
of this organization. Appreciation
goes a long ways and the home
mu sicians should not be treated
like some Inherent company of
strolling mountebanks and half
trained musicians that come and
are greeted with open arms. Sup
port the band--in it you are sup
porting your home.

M0NTPLAISIR TO FARGO
This is Not a ''Pi" on the Main Head but
True Bill

Joe L. Montplaisir left town for
Fargo this week. Notwithstanding
that every time we see Joe's name
in type we think the line is pip.
Joe is not a bad sort of a fellow
and a lot of friends that he has
accumulated since his advent into
Williston, regret to see him leave
town.
MontpIaisir goes in to the gener-
al offices of the Mutual Life with
the credit of being the youngest
agent on the list and reputation
of spreading the salve as evenly as
many of the old heads that are in
the company.

KEYS OF THE CITY
HANDED GOVERNORS
EXECUTIVES VISIT WlLllSTON EXHIBIT
PRONOUNCED one OF BEST AT
The ST. PAUL SHOW

All indigenous and foreign grains
and grasses grown on the soil sur
rounding Williston is shown at the
St. Paul land show and the pro-
duct of her land, bound about with
Uncle Sans true red, white and
blue, lights up the section in which
the Williston exhibit is shown
much better than many exhibits
where the expenditure on decora-
tions and products runs far up in
the thousands.
The Williston exhibit is put III
as from one farm and is the only
one farm exhibit at the land show.
A. NJ. Hawley arranged the ex-
hibit and Mayor Jackson was in
attendance last week and Ex-Mayor
Bruegger and President Anderson
of the Commercial Club are doing
the honors this week. The exhibit
takes up some IA feet of floor
space and is in an excellent loca-
tion.
Among the distinguished visitors
that have been entertained at the
booth were the governors from the
special that have just returned
from their eastern trip and we're
visitors at the show. All registered
at the booth and all promised to
try and visit this city at some fu-
ture time and as token that the
gates were always open to the City
of Opportunity each carried away
with them a key to the city.
Governor Harmon, who ac-
companied the Governors Special
west was an interested visitor,
spending half an hour looking over
the various exhibits and was re-
minded that if he wished and ex.
pected to be president he must get
we'll acquainted with irrigation.
The Ohio governor said of the
wheat shown from Williston irri-
gated land was the finest he had
ever seen.
The bushel of spring wheat ex.
hibited has been entered in COM
petition with all other wheat in
the United States. This wheat
went 81 lbs. to the bushel and went
36 bushels to the acre and in the
opinion of great many, who COM
pared it with the wheat that took
the premium at the New York
show as the best wheat in the
United States, the Williston show
ing was far superior. Also the
bushel of Turkey Red winter
wheat was entered in competition
with all other winter wheat in the
United States.
The Great Northern railway has
offered six silver cups for the best
exhibit offered by any company,
commercial club or community
and the Williston commercial club
will mike try for one of these
cups.
Some of the best advertising
comes from the Twin City jobbers
and bankers who freq uently spend
q half hour looking over the
samples shown. The big potato
pen wiper and a miniature Christmas
tree are features that attract much
attention. Also the new Williston
booklet is attracting much favor
able comment and is pronounced
one of the most attractive booklets
given out at the land show.
Eight varieties of fruits are
shown in the exhibit, grains,
grasses, special display of al
falfa, timothy and red clover,
potatoes and Ignite briquettes all

JUDGE GARNETT.
The Widely Known Eleventh Dis.
tricf Democrat MimsIing With
Boyle County Demo.
OcTats To-day

Judge James Garrett, one of
the best known Democrats in the
State, was in Danville this morn
ing mingling with the politicians
and voters.
Judge Garnett is a candidate
for the office of Attorney Gener-
al and is one of.the best equipped
men in the State for the place he
seeks. If all men were as well
equipped as he and had as good
standing among his people as he
has, the party would be much
stronger. His nomination would
mean much to the Democratic
party; it would mean many, many
votes in the Eleventh Congress
lonal District that no other man
in the State can get. He has a
record among his own people that
is a credit to himself and an
honor to the party he is allied
with.
Judge Garnett is Past Grand
Master of Kentucky Masonry
and this alone is a high tribute
to the worth of the man. The
Democrats of the State can do
no better than vote for him for
the nomination. -Danville Advo-
cate.
