Members of the commercial club
who were unable to make the auto
Trade Tour through the slope are
making preparations to welcome the
auto train upon its arrival in the
city here tonight. The plan was
suggested yesterday and the members
Immediately began to make prepar-
atoms to welcome the boys back
home.
The auto train Is scheduled to ar
rive in the city at about eight o'clock
tonight from Mot. The Bismarck
band has been secured for the
occasion and they will render a con-
cert at the corner Of Fourth and
Main streets until the arrival of the
cars. Efforts are being made to Sc.
cure a few autos to transport the
members of the CLUB to the outskirts
OF the city where they will join the
auto train and escort them to the
city. Other plans are being suggest
ed and will in all probability be
adopted, The success Of the first
tour is more than was really expected
and those who did not 60 will at.
tempt to give the boys a noisy re-
ception on their return.

MILITIA MAKES
GOOD RECORD
At Recent Target Practice
Several Members Made
High Scores

On Sunday a squad of Co. A boys
went out for target practice at the
range east Of town. With the eXcep-
ton Of Maj. Tharalson, Lieut.. How.
an Hines and Sgt. Wing, the boys
are all, novices on the range, this be-
ing their first shoot. Ranges were
200 and 800 yards, and the scores
proved very good considering it was
their first try-out. There was also
quite a wind which was rather hard
for the boys to calculate on, and
which in all probability held down
the scores. It was also found that
the rifles of Maj. Tharalson and Sgt.
Wing were out of order, which prob.
ably accounts for their not making
higher scores. Following is the
score:
Maj. T%haralson, 200 yards "a; 300

settlement REACHED
IN Big drug CASE

MINOT, August 2S.-One of the
biggest damage actions ever tried in
the northwest was settled when Ben
Doe and his wife, Freda Doe, of Bel
va, agreed to accept $4,000 in settlement
of a $4,000 verdict awarded Mrs. Boo
in district court at Towner last fall,
against the North Dakota Drug COM
pany at Velva.
Mrs. Doe sued to recover damages
in the sum of $4,000 alleged to have
been sustained as the result Of all er-
ror on the part of the company's clerk
at Velva when he gave her a quantity
Of violent poison instead OF the medi-
cine she asked for. Mrs. Doe took
the poison and very nearly died from
the effects and claimed that her health
had been permanently injured.
The case was tried in district court
at Towner last fall and the Jury award
ed her the entire amount asked for,
$4,000. The drug company served
notice Of an appeal, but today offered
to settle for $4,000. This settlement al
so includes and disposes of an, action
brought by Mr.. Doe for $4,000. f.
R. Sinkler represented Mr.. and Mrs,
Boo and the case was bitterly fought
at ToWner. &

ing was so intense I could not sleep

CIGAR BOXES OF CARDBOARD
Such an Excellent imitation Of Spanish
Cedar That They Readily Pass
for the Real Thing.

There are now made cigar boxes of
cardboard in such exact imitation of
spanish cedar boxes that they might
anywhere be taken for the real thing
Three layers of a cardboard special
ly made for the purpose are pressed
together to produce a board of precise
ly the right thickness, and then upon
the outer side there is printed, from
an engraved plate and with correct
coloring, a Photographic reproduction
Of sheet Of actual Spanish cedar;
this reproduction showing the grain
of the wood with all its variations and
even the tiny little knots, if there are
any.
The bottom and the sides for card
board box are cut out all in one piece.
so that they require neither mailing
nor sewing. The end pieces, cut out
separately, are wire stitched in by ma
chine, and then the cover is put on,
being hinged with the usual piece Of
muslin.
These cardboard boxes made in i'm
itation of cedar are finished in reg
ulation manner, paper lined and with
the usual paper flap to cover the Gig
ars. The outer edges are paper bound
in the usual fashion. / In its finished
state the box contains one nail, the
nail always found at the center of the
front edge of the cigar box to hold the
cover down. These boxes sell for
about 30 per cent. less than boxes
made of wood
