The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1914-11-19
An excellent program is

promised.
Mr.. Smith is emphasizing his faith
in the future of our town by establish
ing feed mill in connection with his
elevator enterprise. This should prove
convenience to many, for the long
haul hitherto necessary has prompted
many a farmer to feed the grain
whole. Appreciation of enterprise is
best shown by local support.
The Pool Hall was opened for bus
mess during the week and has been
the center Of attraction for many.
Prof. Downing, principal of the
high school, takes an active interest in
all that appertains to the growth of
community interest. The Literary So
ciety claims his time and attention.
Each and every happening which will
advance the fair fame of our town
claims his energy and the class rooms
reflected a nature which desires that
all things be both pleasing to the eye
and. above all, orderly.
Curtice Cross was a Sawyer visitor
last week end. Jack McKinnon, who
AYERS that ye local Scribe "stretched
the long bow" shamelessly, was among
the many old friends called upon by
the cheerful Curt. Jack was lonesome
but interested in the story of the four
store clerks at Logan, which, though
true, pleased not entirely. Curt, we
understand, had to engage substi-
tute in the person of L. Bates while at
Sawyer, business being brisk.
Frank Teets threshing rig has been
completing operations at Timber Edge
Farm.
The long, lean, lank Englishman has
decided to study the 500 time table
and incidentally indulge in the extrav-
agance Of a new alarm clock. Con-
templating a trip to Anamoose last
Sabbath Day he succeeded in missing
LOG, so oarded 105 to journey by the
night train from Minot After enjoy
ing the t"sclation of the Heavenly
Sphere till + a. m. on Monday morn
ing, 108 wondered aimlessly in, and
then grew he wise to the fact that the
500, in their wisdom, no longer ordain-
ed that the night train should stop at
Anamoose. Friend Bean suggests that
his worthy spouse should arrange ia
have him shipped next time by parcel
post.
On Sunday evening as the storm
sang strangely, the Soul of sweet
sister scared Heavenwards and Logan
shares the sorrow which has befallen
those near and dear to one who, by a
bright and charming disposition had
to the entire community so endeared
herself. Bernadine Ross, to whom
Life unfolded but the happy pages of
childhood, a victim to typhoid's
scourges. Sympathy sincere, of each
and all we would proffer those whose
hearts are indeed SAD.
Miss Merne Hecker and Miss Bur-
ma Ross, Normal school students, en-
joyed week end with the folks.
Joe Murphy had a field Of yellow
flint corn, which for quality and guam
tity of yield 'twould be hard to beat,
Joe does not aim to farm more than
can be handled scientifically, thereby
exhibiting wisdom.
Burlington boasts pretender to the
title of Cabbage King, who is, we are
informed, awaiting the double track
ing of the 500 before marketing his
crop. We understand that the pres
ence of German warships in American
waters is accounted for by the expect
ed shipment of several cargoes Of
choice cabbage from ]. J. Brand. The
question of neutrality has been set
tied satisfactorily, and the 500 have
seen to it that Logan's crop will be
transported enroute for Antwerp
Maybe Burlington will then get a
chance.
Miss Blanche Lane, who submitted
recently to serious operation at An
amoose Hospital, returned to her home
at Sawyer on Friday last.
The Good Samaritan club will meet
next with Mrs. ]. C. Gard of St. Marie
avenue.
Mage Ross will be found in future
at ye old Fintleman farm, having de-
cided to grow less wheat and devote
his energy to the production Of beef
and pork.
The Most Grasping Man.
"The graspin'est man I ever know
ed," said Uncle Jerry PEBBLES, "was an
old chap named Snoopins. Somebody
told him once that when he breathed
he took in oxygen and gave out car
bon. He spent whole day tryin' to
find out which Of them two gases cost
the most if you had to buy 'em. He
wanted to know whether he was max
in or losin' money when he breathed.' y
