NIGHT ENGINEER
HIT WITH CLUB

Harvey, N. D., Aug. PAS Night
Engineer A. L. Briggs sat in the door
way of the engine room at the local
milling and lighting plant, he was ap-
preached from the darkness outside
by unknown parties and struck VIC
lent blow on the back Of the head by
some kind Of a club or sand bag,
knocked into the room on the floor,
and kicked several times by his assail-
ants. Upon regaining consciousness,
which, Judging by the pressure of the
steam guage on the boilers must have
been in about half an hour, he strug
gled to his feet, made his way across
the street for assistance. 1t was found
that he had escaped with but very
good sized lump on the back of his
head and few bruises on his body,
none of which proved serious. No
cause is known for the act, as moth
ing was disturbed at the mill, neither
was the engineer robbed while he lay
in helpless condition.

CLEAN GLASSES ARE REQUIRED
BY STATE AT SODA FOUNTAINS

Four distinct operations in the
of glasses at soda fountains
and in ice cream parlors in North Da-
kota are provided under new regula-
lions announced by the state pure food
operative under the state
sanitary law.
No longer will the patrons of these
industries in this state be compelled
to drink their potions from glasses
dipped into dirty dish water and then
allowed to stand upside down while
being drained.
Four separate and distinct cleans
ing operations must be carried out be-
fore the glass is in fit condition, in the
eyes of the law, to be used as drink
ing utensil, and these operations are
set forth in the new regulations issued
by the department. Here they are:
The glass must first be rinsed ir
cold water.
It must then be washed in hot water
with soap or cleansing powder.
It must then be rinsed in cold water
And, finally, it must be wiped thor.
oughly dry.
There are other regulations affect
ing the soda business, the most i'm
portant of which pertains to the
health of the caterers. These the reg
ulations say, "must be clearly in dress
and person, and free from contagious
or infectious diseases"
Other regulations include the fol
lowing:
There must at all times be an ade
quate supply of pure water and proper
means for the disposal Of waste ant

Straws are prohibited except wher,
properly protected. Z
Paper caps or Innings may be uset

Mrs. ]. S. Welty of Sawyer was a
visitor in the city Tuesday. Mrs.
Welty complained that several in her
neighborhood failed to receive last
weeks issue of the Independent, and
she kindly took a few copies with her
to deliver to her neighbors. We are
unable to explain the failure of the
papers to reach their destination, for
they left this office on schedule time.
However, with a subscription list as
large as the Independent. enjoys it is
not surprising that occasionally there
is a mishap of this kind. The indie
pendent will always be glad to furnish
extra copies to those who fail to re-
ceive the paper. We do everything in
our power to insure the accurate and
prompt delivery of the Independent
trust that cases of this kind may be
rare.

The country is waiting in vain for

The country is waiting in vain for
an answer to the Presidents last note
concerning the Lusitania incident.
Germany appears to be treating Uncle
Sam lightly. 1t may be that there is
a tacit understanding between the two
countries that no answer is expected,
but there is no question that this coun-
try has lost prestige in the eyes of
some of the European countries. Still,
it may be better than to go to war. 1t
reminds one of couple Of small boys,
tearing their hair and swearing at
each other, and at the same time back
ing away. We can all agree that this
is even better than for them to fight.

With the removal of Blaine Allen,
the popular band and orchestra leader
from this city, Minot has suffered a
distinct loss in her musical circles, and
indeed the entire city will miss Mr..
Allen. We could have kept Mr.. Allen
with us, but it would have meant the
expenditure of something like two
thousand dollars year. Good leaders
are scarce and it is not often that cit
les the size of Minot can secure such a
capable man as Mr.. Allen at any ordi-
nary figure.

This city is spreading out. Main
street is no longer capable of accom-
modating all of the business concerns.
Central avenue is proving a rival to
Main street. Some of the best blocks
in the city are being erected along
Central avenue. Then, too, old Reishus
street, now know as First street west,
is coming to the front. The business
district is spreading out in all direc-
tons. Very little business property
is for sale and what is sold brings a
handsome premium. Pin your faith to

DESTROY WHITE FLY
ON TOMATO PLANTS
Department of Agriculture Rec
ommends Fumigation With
Hydrocyanic Gas.

For white fly on tomatoes the ex-
perts of the department of agriculture
recommend fumigation with hydro
cyanic acid gas. Special care is ne
cessary for the use of this poisonous
gas, however, and in some cases it is
undesirable or impractical. In such
cases an all-night fumigation with a
tobacco extract is recommended. This
should be followed the next day by a
Swinging with whale oil soap or It's
equivalent. The best brands Of whale
oil soap, used in the proportion Of one
to one and one-half ounces per gallon
of water. have been found to destroy
all Of the white flies except the eggs,
small percentage Of the nearly ma
ture pupae, and from rs to 30 per
cent of the adults which escape the
spray by flying from the plants. 1t is
not advisable to syringe tomato plants
In greenhouses at any time, when
avoidable, as Swinging interferes with
pollination and produces a damp at
mosphere which promotes rot, but the
injury by Swinging may be as moth
ing compared with that which is
caused daily by the insects.

AS an example Of the resourceful-

er, always ready for all emergencies,
there stands a 115-foot tower located
in the Sitgraves National forest, IN
Arizona, which was entirely built by
these men with a very limited equip
ment of tools and material. A TRAN
gulation station was needed in one OF
the districts, but because the area
was covered with tall timber and
had very gentle slope, but one
good, natural lookout post could be
found, and here, unfortunately, the
timber was so tall that the tower
would have to be at least 100 feet
high. The tools and rigging at nand
were sufficient to build tower OF only
half that height, but, nevertheless, II
was decided to undertake the building
of the tall tower at once, without walt
ing for further equipment. for the rea-
son that the nearest base OF supplies
was rs miles away. and the dangerous
