ing, Lansford.
Secretary-Martin vi inje,

Treasurer Selmer Sivertson,
Carbury.
The Boys Short course just
concluded is the first of it's
kind ever held in Bottineau
county and, in point of attend
ance, as we'll as interest. was
the biggest of its kind ever
held in the state. While those
in charge of the preparations
anticipated an attendance of
from fifty to sixty boys, no less
than 1870 enrolled for the course,
representing every section of
Bottineau county.
A. p. Henderson, Better
Farming Agent for Bottineau
county, was in charge Of the
course. He was assisted by ].

ty agent of Ward county, DR..

neau county, and John Brander

course was held under the au /.
spices of the board of county
commissioners and the Botti-
neau Commercial club.
The county commissioners,
the Bottineau Commercial
club, the press of the county
and the entire citizenry of the
city did all in their power to
encourage those in charge and
to help entertain the boys of
the county to have a happy
visit and instructive course.
The rope splicing course in
charge of Mr.. Haw was parti-
cularly popular, more than
900 feet of rope being used in
this work, and almost every
boy took home with him a rope
halter of his own construction,
Ten hours were devoted to this
work, the demand was so keen
! for it.
Milk testing was given a half
day and much interest was
shown. the boys operating the
tester themselves as much as
possible. Tuesday evening an
address of welcome by Presi-
dent Smith and a program by
members of the school faculty
was highly appreciated by the
boys.
Wednesday morning there
was more rope work and in the
afternoon perhaps the leading
| feature of the whole course was
DIR. McMahan's veterinary lee
ture which consumed three
hours and was followed with
closest attention and interest
by the boys and much valuable
information and practical use
on the farm was obtained. In
the evening of this day the
boys were given tickets to the
new modern Grand Theatre,
where roaring farce tickled
them. 1t was a real pleasure
to the audience to see them en-

WHAT A USED CAR
CAN Be VALUED AT
Studebaker Warns Owners
Against Fictitious Worth
of. Machines.
CBy r. T. HoDGKINs)

An experienced business man
knows that he cannot get something
for nothing He is shrewd enough to
know that he cannot get something
for nothing where the other party has
Just the one chance to make or lose
money. If the man he is dealing
with cannot make money there is no
object in his dealing at all. Yet many
owners of automobiles try to per-
suade themselves that they are not
losers when they allow III automo>
bile dealer TO put an inflated value
upon their cars i'm trade
A used automobile has almost a
definite fixed value, depending upon
the length Of time 1t has been i'm use
and the care 1t has received. y re-
liable dealer can name this amount
within fifty dollars. His appraisal
can be verified by the figure placed
upOn such a car by an organization
such as the Chicago Automobile
Trade association which publishes a
used car central market report This
association of reputable dealers
makes prices that protect the owner
and at the same time protect the
members of the clearing house.
The man who has an automobile
that he wishes TO trade in for a new
machine is anxious to have his own
interests protected; he isn't interested
in looking out for the dealer. Natur>
ally he wants to know how the dealer
with Il price recognized by an asso-
citation is protecting him in making
price on his used car that is not as
high as he is offered on a trade 10y a
man handling another car The eX,
phantom is simple, illustrated with a
concrete case, as used by several pubs
HcatiOns that have exposed the in>
flatcd price evil. Let us take a car
with a list price of $4,000. Now II
the owner of a machine is offered an
unusually big price for his old car by
tho dealer who handles the $1,000
automobile, one may be certain that
an inflated value has been put ON the
$1,000 car. If the $4,000 automobile
in reality is only worth $1,000, then
the dealer naturally can offer large
price for the used car and offset IL
out Of his abnormal secret profit
Good business? For the dealer yes.
But how about the man who gets n
$1,000 car when me thinks he is get
ting q $4,000 car?
So it should be evident to every
ono that the offer of an unusual sum
for a used car should be looked upon
with suspicion. II demands explains
tiOn. If a reputable dealer, either on
his own judgment or on that of an
organization specially fitted to judge
used car values, offers a certain sum
anything over that i'm a trade is based
upon a value as fictitious for the new
machine as for the used car If an
owner is not satisfied with the price

l6 Great Service Banches Maxwell District Oces-Moe than 1000
Maxwell Dealers always the Service Those Who Drive Maxwell Cars

When you buy an automobile you buy
two kinds of service. First The service
given and guaranteed by the car itself.
Second:-The service given by the maker
and the dealer while the car is in use.
The service the Maxwell car gives is
known. $4,000 satisfied Maxwell owners
have given the car the rough and tumble acid
test of fully eighteen months service. The
Maxwell has shown that 1t is able to stand
up under the severest use. In cities, over
country roads, through mud and sand and up
the steepest mountains, the 1915 Maxwell
has made good for $4,000 owners.
THE SERVICE THAT THE MAXWELL
MOTOR COMPANY GIVES

cannot be questioned. Any automobile
owner from time to time requires service

He likes the strong pull of the long-Stroke motor.
He has proved that the Hupmobile will stand
hard knocks and rough going. 1t is always
ready for service
He knows that it is as nearly trouble-proof as a
motor can be.
He knows that it will ask him next to nothing
for its board and keep. Repair expense is
almost zero.
He needs no technical knowledge to make such
simple adjustments as the Hupmobile may
require.
Hupmobile history can be summed up as one
good car after another-each season bigger
value.
He figures that mighty few motor cars can show
SO clean record.
His own experience is backed up by the expert
ence of farmer friends and neighbors. They
are all Hupmobile boosters
So he keeps on buying one Hupmobile after an
other-alwayS getting a high secondhand
price when he sellS-always getting better
Hupmobe when he buys.
He is one Of the best friends the Hupmobile has
in America.
The Hupmobile case is safe in his hands. Ask
him about Hupmobie; and see the cars at our

THE PROHIBITION ELECTION

The steering committee Of the pro-
hibition party in South Carolina, has
sent out the following statement re-
garding the ballots which will be used
in the election on the question of
statewide prohibition, September IA:
There will be two ballots. as pro-
vided by the statute: One, For the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic
liquors and beverages in South Caro-
lima; the other, Against the manu-
facture and sale of alcoholic liquors
and beverages in South Carolina
There will be but one ballot box.
If the result Of the election is against
the manufacture and sale, the county
dispensary will be closed after Decem-
Der 81, and the sale of alcoholic
liquors and beverages within the state
will be unlawful after that time.
This law has nothing to do with
the gallon a month law regulating
the importation Of liquors.

desire to vote in this election must

Of the following paragraph: "The city
Of Yorkville, South Carolina, not long
ago paid striking tribute to faith
full negro worker. His name was
Hannibal Beatty, he was born a slave,
and for forty years he had been a
sexton Of prominent church for
white people and had also been janitor
of the courthouse. He was buried

The rapidly increasing liquor re-
ceipts at Glover by reason Of that
place having been made the shipping
point Of so many people along the
North Carolina line and beyond, has
become source Of annoyance to a
great many Glover people, The North
Carolina laws limit the individuals
liquor supply to a quart month, and
many people Of Gastonia, Bessemer
City, Cherryville, Kings Mountain and
other points, are having their liquor
shipped to Glover, to which place they
go after it in automobiles. Not long
ago a man and his wife came to Glover
in an automobile and each carried
away a jug. Many Of the Glover peo-
pie are anxious to hit upon some means
by which the nuisance may be abated.
