Prof. Wise says, There's nothing
like a crouch to put things on the
bum. Whenever your friends see you
prowling down the street with face
like a Chinese idol having cramp,
they long to lovingly 'wham' you one
where the Undertaken will get the
most good out of it. There's nothing
like Optimism and the CHEEKY smile to
make people pass you the glad mitt
all the time"
You have often noticed the cheer
full smile on our countenance, haven't
you? If you want to see a brand of
real smile, come to our Office and let
US show you those Red Cedar fence
posts, that you need right now. They
are cut from the famous Idaho Red
Cedar and some from Michigan White
Cedar. Both these woods are noted
for their toughness of fibre and re-
sistance to decay. They are easily
sharpened. Sharpen number of
them, place them in a circle and build
fire that will just char the points up
about two feet and there you have a
post that will last as long as you do.
Pace off the ground you want fenc-
ed, allowing ten PAGES between posts
and haul them out now, while the
roads are good.
Come and see the smile at the. Place
Of Quality Goods.

MINOT BANKER STARTS
STATEWIDE MOVEMENT

M. R. Porter, cashier Of the Scandi-
navian-American Bank, started a
movement that is bound to spread, not
only over the entire state, but in some
other states as we'll. Mr.. Porter has
made the farmers boys very liberal
offer, to furnish them with a register
ed sow each, the boys to keep the off
spring, and return-the sow to him by
Dec. 1. A Velva bank has taken up
this proposition and a Grand Forks
bank will follow suit.

ENCOURAGEMENT.

The Independent can say with some
degree Of authority that John J. Lee,
prominent farmer, and former sher-
if of Ward county, is most likely to
become a candidate for this office. Mr..
Lee has had no intention of coming
out for any Office, but of late he has
received considerable encouragement
from many who want him to toss his
sombrero into the political ring.
John Lees record as sheriff some
years ago was we'll night perfect. His
record as a man has been just as good.
He has friends by the hundreds who
will stand back of him in the event
that he becomes candidate.

The German order applies alike to

its purpose is to: prevent tile flight
from Germany of men eligible for
military service under pretext of cit;
izensllip, the inclusion of..women and

by the apprehension that valuable

We have the sorry spectacle of
