Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Pennewell OF

year he sold $1,000 worth of horses and
has eight of the best ones left. Be-
sides, he has nice bunch of cattle.
A Minot young woman, who voted
on the north side at Tuesdays cleo
ton, was handed besides the ballot for
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton and county superintendent OF
schools, the one pertaining to woman
suffrage, by the obliging judge. She
handed the latter back, but regretted
later that she didn't take advantage
of her opportunity and slip in a vote
for her cause.
E. A. Aspinwall and wife returned
Saturday from Barr, Mont, where
they have been living on their valuable
homestead for the past two years.
They were accompanied home by OF
Elliott, who has homestead near the
Aspinwall farm. Mr.. Aspinwall con-
siders his 800 acre farm worth every

finer farming land in the west than
around Barr.
G.. D. Colcord spent Saturday and
Sunday in Grand Forks comforting
with Edgar Richter of Larimore and
Norman Black, manager of the Times
Herald Company, relative to matters
pertaining to the North Dakota Press
Association and the annual winter
meeting, which will be held at Fargo
early in January. Arrangements were
made to call meeting of the officers
of the press association at Minot in
the near future. Will E. Holbein, for
mer secretary of the association, at

The Minot stores are doing re-
markably large business. Every day,
hundreds of shoppers, many of them
from a hundred or more miles away,
visit the city in order to make their Sc
lections from the large and excellent
stocks of merchandise carried by the
Minot merchants. In this issue, you
will note a number of very interest
ing advertisements. Read them and
then visit the stores. 1t will pay you.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Buettner of Nor
witch were Minot shoppers Tuesday.
Mr.. Buettner is the "village smithy''
at Norwich and there isn't a more
capable workman in the state. He was
born in Germany, residing there until
he grew to manhood. He knows what
war means as he was sixteen years
old at the time of the Franco-Prus-
sian war. He is of the opinion that
Germany will be defeated in the end
but realizes that this will be long,
bloody war. "The Germans are no
cowards," Mr.. Buettner remarked.
County Commissioner Peter Van
denoever returned from a visit at his
old home at Dexter, MINI. "Pete"
lived for a good many years in the vi
cinity of that place, where he has a
host of old time friends On his re-
turn, he hunted geese near Cando and
brot back couple Of fine specimens.
Mr.. Vandenoever never realized until
this visit what difference there is
between the quality of grain raised
around Dexter and in North Dakota.
He says our horses would hardly eat
the oats grown on the 1925 Minnesota
land,
