THE VICTORY
OF PEACE
FINE ATTRACTION TO BE STAG
ED AT THE NORMAL SCHOOL
GYMNASIUM, FRIDAY EVEN
ING, AUGUST 6.

1t has been the custom for good
many years for the pupils of the
Northwestern summer school to pre-
a public entertainment. Thu year
it has been decided that Peace Pag-
cant will be presented, something
more extensive and spectacular than
has ever before been attempted by
the school. "The Victory of Peace"
will be staged in the normal gym
nasium, Friday evening, August g. 1t
will consist of three acts, the first
containing a number of scenes rep
resenting the countries at war. While
Germany is shown in her spirit of mil
itarism, England with her paralyzed
industries, France with her battle field
hospitals, Belgium with her grief and
desolation, and Austria Hungary with
sad home life, back Of it all will be
shown thru allegorical figures,
Death, Pestilence, Disease, Famine
and d final group representing Bar
barism.
Act two Of the pageant will pre-
sent decided contrast to the first
act. In this will be shown the coun-
tries that are the Followers of Peace"
and the features of their life. Half
Of the time Of this act will be given
to various scenes of United States
life-sports, industries, home life and
other features. France, Holland and
the Orient will be represented thru
drills and folk dances. Just as the
first act was a background of terrible
allegorical figures, so this act will
emphasize, in similar way, Industry,
Education, Prosperity and Plenty with
a final group representing Civiliza-
ton.
The third and final act is a sort
Of postlude and will include a group
of representative Minot citizens seat
ed around a table. In this act "Ar-
bitration' will be obtained thru a
peace League" and the motto or
sentiment will be: "Of one blood all
nations" The normal pupils will
unite in a song Of peace and presi-
dent Crane will read the Recessional.
The management would be pleased
to invite the public to enjoy this pag-
cant without money and without
price," but in view of the fact that
costumes, a special stage and other
equipment will make considerable ex-
pense, small admission fee will be
charged. The students and faculty
committees are working hard to make
this first pageant worthy of the sub
ject and the general reputation of the
summer school and we believe that the
Independent readers will greatly su-
joy "The Victory of Peace

Will SELL HERD
Of DAIRY CATTLE
J. E. ELSBERRY OF RIVERSIDE
DAIRY FARM ADVERTISES AN
AUCTION SALE OF 70 HIGH
GRADE HOLSTEIN AND GUERN-
SEY COWS.

J. E. Elsberry, proprietor of the
Riverside Dairy farm, announces the
sale of 10 head of very high grade
Holstein and Guernsey cows, heifers
and calves and several registered
bulls of both breeds, which will take
place at his home, two miles west of
the city Thursday, August IL. Full
particulars are given elsewhere in
this issue.
Mr.. Elsberry has very large herd
of the best dairy cows in the state.
He has not room to house them and as
he will retain only his registered cows,
he will sell without reserve all of his
herd of grades. They comprise some
of the very best milch cows in the
state. They are the result of his
breeding and the culling Of about 1000
head of cattle during the past six
years. This is an unusual opportun-
ity.
This sale is certain to attract wide
attention. Mr. Elsberry is known far
and wide as one of the most promi
nent breeders in the west There will
be buyers from several other states,
but it will be a shame if many of
these cattle leave this section Of the
state. If you are in need of choice
dairy cattle, plan by all means, to at
tend this sale. His is an opportunity
that is not offered very often.

F0XHQLN MARKET
DAY BIG SUCCESS
LARGE CROWD FROM ALL SUR
ROUNDING POINTS - BALL
GAMES, ATHLETIC CONTESTS
AND PROGRAM - ADDRESSES
BY NESTOS AND WILSON.

Under the fairest of skies and with
conditions in every way ausplclous,
Foxholm on Tuesday held their Mar
ket Day festivities. T. L. Simmons,
as chairman of the day, opened the ex-
ercises with a happy and felicitous ad-
dress in which he welcomed the Wis
itors to Foxholm's Market Day and
introduced Hon. r. A. Nestos of Mi
not, States Attorney for Ward county,
the orator of the day. Mr.. Nestos' ad-
dress was replete with ideas pertain
ing to diversified farming, good roads
and other facts which shows the
States Attorney has advanced ideas
regarding the current and leading
movements of the day.
This address was followed by w. d.
Wilson, manager of the Minot Dairy
Co., who gave an interesting address
on dairying and allied industries.
In the afternoon the immense crowd,
numbering at a conservative estimate
1900 people, proceeded to the ball park
where the sports and contests took
place.
A contest between the Carpio and
Foxholm ball teams opened the tour
nament with game which, although
somewhat one-sided, was nevertheless
interesting to watch. The Carpio
team was laid low by a score standing
10 to /.
A series of races was then pulled
off including the sack-race, won by
Milton King of Donnybrook and the
boys sack race. The latter event was
hotly contested and was an amusing
feature. Allys Goebel secured first
prize, Walter Johnson second, and
Miles Scribner of Tasker third.
The tug of war between the North
Prairie and South Prairie residents at
tracted the most attention OF any
event on the program.
The way the heavy-weights strug-
gled and wheezed and dug their heels
into the turf and heaved, was a sight
fit for the gods, but despite the utmost
efforts Of the South Prairie contest
ants they were obliged to give way to
the North side team, made up largely
of Germans of ample girth and genial
temperament.
This was followed by lively little
contest between the juvenile Burllng-
ton and Foxholm mines. Although
obliged to close their game in the
sixth inning, these little fellows put
up classy game and held the close
interest of the spectators pending the
arrival of the Burlington team for the
closing event.
The Des Lacs team had been en-
gagged for this event, but unforeseen
difficulties prevented their coming
and at the last moment the Burlington
manager was wired to bring his team
up at once. Manager April rounded
up his players and in record breaking
time had his cohorts massed in battle
array upon the arena. The game was
of that variety known as humdinger
and closed with Burlington one score
in the lead.

CHASE OF GRAIN IN ABOUT
SIX WEEKS-WILL BE 100000
Blu. CAPACITY APITAL L
STOCK $4,000; SHARES $40 AT
PAR

During the past two weeks several
meetings of farmers have been held
in this city for the purpose of starting
a Farmers Cooperative elevator, one
that will pay patronage dividends to
the farmers. AS result of these
meetings application will be made to
the secretary of state Immediately
for a charter for farmers co-opera-
tive elevator, to be known as the
Farmers Cooperative Elevator COM
pany of Minot. The company will
have an authorized capital stock of
$4,000 with the shares at $40 each.
Eight per cent dividends will be paid
to the stockholders first; then after
caring for the expenses, the balance
of the earnings will be distributed to
the farmers who haul grain to the ele-
vator on the patronage basis. Every
farmer will receive dividends in pro-
portion to the amount of grain sold
to the elevator. Among the men in
terested in the new cooperative ele-
vator are prominent grain growing
farmers like Anton j. johnson, Frank
Linha, A. C. Erb, John E. Christensen,
Reinhold Reinke and many others OF
similar standing in the community:
These men are Equity advocates and
argue patronage dividend elevators,
strictly cooperative, should be estab-
lished all over the state and country,
so that the actual producer can receive
as much as conditions will permit OF
the products and earning power OF
their toll on the farm.
The elevator will be of 10000 bushel
capacity, possibly larger, and will be
located either on the 500 or Great
Northern track. The papers for the
charter and all other preliminary work
in connection with the elevator; the
supervision of construction and the
financing Of the elevator and the book
keeping and auditing of the books will
be handled by the officers Of the
Farmers Rural Credit association.
1t is contemplated to have the site
selected and elevator completed, and
the buying of grain commenced IN
about six weeks time or less.
Plans and specifications are being
prepared upon which bids will be re-
ceived for the construction of this ele-
vator. Builders of elevators will be
asked to submit bids and any such
who are in the market to build this
elevator should wire or communicate
at once with the Farmers Rura! Cred

MOTOR TRIP TO
YELLOWSTONE PARK
mr.. AND MRS. NORMAN J. ELLl-
SON BACK FROM LONG JOUR-
NEY THROUGH MONTANA-EN-
JOYED SPLENDID OUTING.

Mr.. and Mrs. Norman J. Ellison re-
turned Saturday night from au auto
trip of several thousand miles through
Montana. They visited Yellowstone
Park. The distance from Minot to the
park is 682 miles and this journey can
be made by auto easily in three or four
days. The roads were not always IN
the best of condition owing to rains
throughout the state of Montana.
They spent four days at Lewiston,
Mont, at the home of Mrs. Ellison's
aunt, Mrs. Gull, making several side
trips where they enjoyed some fine
mountain trout fishing. On their re-
turn they visited Great Falls and 9TH
er cities along the Great Northern;
From Williston to Minot they found
the worst roads on the trip, owing in
large degree to heavy rains. They
found excellent roads along the Yel-
lowstone trail. The highways in Mon
tana are generally speaking better
built roads than in our own state;
Much of the work is done by road
graders, a nice smooth grade being
finished.
"North Dakota looks better to me
than ever" Mr.. Ellison said to an In
dependent representative. "Montana
is away behind US in the way of devel-
opment. You find no such cities as
Minot with the hundreds of fine towns
throughout the surrounding country.
The farm houses are scattered and the
agricultural development is away be-
hind that of North Dakota"
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellison spent six days
in Yellowstone park, travelling by
stage. In August, it is understood,
that autos will be allowed in the park.
They enjoyed camp life at night,
bungalow tents with all conveniences
being provided and the very best OF
meals served. They would be routed
out BRIGHT and early in the morning to
begin their journey of from thirty to
fifty miles.

NINETEEN YEAR OLD ARCHIE
TOOLE AND FIFTEEN YEAR
OLD RUBY HARDNESS BROT TO
MINOT WHERE THEY WERE
MARRIED.

The course of tAue love never did
run smoothly, but after very stormy
pre-nuptial voyage, Archie Toole,
aged le and Miss Ruby Hardness,
aged Is, both from Kenmarc were
joined in the holy bonds of matrimony
by Judge VIM. Murray in this city
Monday afternoon.
Archie is not Of age, but he is a
hard working youth who has been
making his own way alone in the
world. He met the beautiful daughter
of VIM: Hardness, prosperous farm
er of Kenmare, not long ago and lit
tie Dan Cupid was not long in getting
in his work. Owing to the girls ex-
treme youth, she was afraid to ask
her parents if she could marry, so
the couple eloped. They made their
way across to the Berthold branch
and travelled on the main line Of the
Great Northern as far as Williston.
Minot officials were notified and thru
the efforts of Chief of Police Dough-
erty, they were located and returned
to Minot. Here they were met by the
heartbroken parents, who gave their
consent to the marriage. AS the young
man is not yet of age, Judge Palda
was named as his guardian. The
couple visited Walkers green house,
invested in a gorgeous bouquet of
flowers, saw the sights of the city
and accompanied Mr.. and Mrs. Hark-
ness to their Kenmare home where
the Independent hopes they will live
long and be happy.

CHESTER PHIFER'S EXHIBIT OF
DUROC-JERSEYS AT STATE
FAIR IN THE MONEY SIX TIMES
"A FINE SHOWING.

Chester Phifer, the Burlington Du-
roc man, returned Monday from the
state fair at Grand Forks, where he
exhibited a dozen of his registered
porkers. Mr.. Phifer won six prem
iums and made a remarkably fine
showing. He has without a doubt, one
of the best lots of Duroc Jersey hogs
in the state. He won the following
premiums:
First-Boar pig, under six months.
Second-Senior yearling SOW.
Third-Junior yearling boar.
Third-young herd.
Fourth-Aged SOW
Third-Duroc National Duroc- -Jers-
ey Society-young herd.
Mr.. Phifer was in some mighty fast
company. His boar pig, under six
months of age, which took first prem
ium, was pitted against pig from the
herd of Mr.. Vanderhide, from West
Concord, Minn., who has won the sill
yer trophy in this class at the Mime
sofa state fair for number of years.
Mr.. Phifer is we'll pleased with the
the way the breeders were treated.
Don V. Moore, the secretary, Mr.. COL
ter, manager of the live stock depart
ment and assistant, Mr.. Goodman,
did all that they could for the conven-
ience of the exhibitors.
There were around 500 hogs of var
ious breeds on exhibition. There were
more Durocs than all other breeds
combined.
The cattle and horse exhibit in the
parade, which was two miles long,
were valued at million dollars.
In the exhibit there were two Po-
land China boars weighing 1000
pounds EACH One of them, the grand
champion, is owned by E. J. Cowles
from West Concord, MINI.
