A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

This is the first Spring Announce
ment of a splendid fine line of cloth
ing and furnishing goods which are
about arriving. AS most of the peo-
pie around this part of the country
know, this has been my 18th purr
chasing trip to New York and, with
out going into detail, l wish to in
form my friends and customers that
have had splendid good luck in pur-
chasing our big Spring line and
am not eXaggerating it one bit when
say that we will be able to show the
incest lot of mems and young mems
as well as children's clothing of ev-
cry kind which has been our good
fortune to offer to the. public since
our early business career.
The truth of the matter is, have
made the clothing business q study
and know it as thoroughly as any
man of long experience can possibly
know it and, as my connections with
some of the largest manufacturers in
the United States are very close, it
stands to reason that I am able to
purchase many lines of goods at a
less price than others who are not
so familiar with the clothing world.
AS to my purchases, l can make
the truthful statement that / have
not bought 800 worth of goods of
any inferior grade. ! do not invest
my money in that way. l am just as
careful when select suit of clothes
which we must retail at cheap price
as / am when the suits are selected
| of the best grades. / want 1t dis
tinctly understood that every dollars
worth of goods people buy from this
firm is guaranteed and when l say
guaranteed" l mean that If any
thing is purchased that is not perfect
ly satisfactory, goods can be exchang-
ed or money will be returned for the
purchase. We only do business one
way and that is strictly on the square
in the future as it has been in the
past to sell only such merchandise
as we know will give absolute salts
faction to our customers.
Please remember further that we
carry the largest stock of clothing
and furnishings this side of the big
cities and / can make the statement
without fear of contradiction that
for square treatment there Is mo firm
In the United States who will work
for the interest Of it's patrons with
any more sincerity than we do.
Please remember that we are glad
to see you and we will continue to
be thankful to our customers If they
see fit to trade with us and we give
them our assurance that their conf
dence in us will never be misused.
Again thanking you for past pat
ronage and hoping to see you very
soon, believe me
Sincerely yours,
| BEN BEAR.

LOCALS WIN TWO GAMES.
DEBORAH High School Victor In DOu.
BILE Header Basket Ball Games.

On Friday evening the Waukon
boys and girls played their return
games with the local high school and
carried off the small end of the score
in both encounters. The DEBORAH
boys won their game by the score Of
Al to IS, while the girls were victors
to the count of "a to 2.
The boys game, despite the score,
was interesting and we'll played
Throughout. Weiser and Riste, both
playing forward, were easily the stars
of the game Weiser made seven field
goals and Gagged the ball eight times
out of twelve chances from free
throws, while Riste contributed eight
| field goals to the total score. The
DEBORAH boys showed tendency 10
foul-Bailey being an especially
marked offender in that respect, but
their opponents seemed to be unable
to take advantage of the opportuni-
ty thus given them. Schlatter who
substituted Engbretson at the begin
ming of the second half played an ex-
cellent game at his position.
The girls's game was entirely too
one-sided to he very interesting from
a spectators viewpoint. The visitors
were able to secure only two points
during the entire contest and were
presented those through free throws.
Ethel Osman played an excellent
game and contributed "a of the "a
points. Myra Sayles was response
bic for the other 10 points. The girls
Irlayed much letter game than that
of a week ago. Haakenson for the
boys and Miss Miller for the girls
refereed to the satisfaction of all.
Summary:-Field goals, Weiser Z;
Riste 8; Hall 2; Foley 2. Free
throws: Weiser s out of IL; Swee-
ney out of s; Grover out of 10.

of t h e ReServation at large.
Why can't there be harmony?
Without it there can be no adj
vancement.
c. L. Ellis was away for a
few days locating the Chippe-
was on a part of Old Fort AS
sinniboine. We hope they will
succeed in their work, as they
have been one of the unsolved
Indian problems.
The schools are out and the
boys and girls will be freed from
t h e discipline of tn school
room. Are we giving them the
proper training in the home and
are we taking more interest in
them than in our cattle, our
horses and our business?
For the past week we have
had a Wild West show as far as
breaking horses is concerned
and, judging from the crowd of
spectators, there must h a v e
been an element of danger mix
ed wit the bucking horses
which made it so fascinating.

the season.
The last Car of seed potatoes

that sufficient potatoes will be

Crisp Notesfrom the Agency Town

Mr.. Emery from Glacier Park
was in Browning for a short
time.
1t has been decided to erect
the hospital at Blackfoot and
work has already begun.
The widening of Pata street is
to be attended to soon. This
will give a good thoroughfare
between the two parts of the
town.
Horse buyers for the French
government will hold an in
section of all horses offered for
sale at Browning on Monday,
May 81.
A horse whose brand w a S
tempered with, on tn south
side of the Reservation, is likely
to make it very serious for
someone.
It's a long time since we had
the pleasure of a chat with Bill
Davis H is an interesting
talker md he is always a well
come visitor.
The Root house on X i p ?
street ill soon be moved to a
new Jycation, as it interferes
with autos driving to and from
the Kipp hotel.
Mango will have to be stamp
ed out and DR.. Cohener visited
the Reservation to p | an his
fight against the disease. He
expects to begin work in a few
days.
A call was made by the In
dian office here for one hundred
Indian freighters to haul steel
as the white men are not per.
mitted to take any of the work
which can be given to the
Indians.
The May day festival at Gu
