STOCK MARKET 

New York, May 27--Opening.-Ove night developments, more especially Washington's vigorous not to Great Britain and France regarding mail de- tentions. doubtless accounted in large measure for the irregular heaviness of today's early market operations. Standard rails, including Beading and Canadian Pacific, U. s. Steel, copperS and shipping shares as well as pronai- nent specia1ties, were lower by mate rial fractions to a full point with few offsetting gains. Trading was in mod Crate volume and limited as to the number of issues.
 Close: Today's short session re- fected the impeding holiday and other developments of a deterrent character. Trading was light to a, negligible degree but price movements were almost wholly downward. Some leading rails recorded losses of 1 to 2 points, Reading being again the weakest feature War shares, metals and specialtiees in general were lower by l to 2 points at their ex- treme declines with as much or more for the motors. Of all leaders, U. S.. Steel was the only one to yield less than a point. Moderate rallies oc- cured later, but the tone at the close was heavy. Bonsd were irregular.

 New York's Grain Supremacy.
 Since January 1 the New York grain trade has held up remarkably well. Out of total receipts in the past four months, amounting to 69, 67O,OoO bushels, the Produce Elk change figures show that S4 per cent. or 58,927,OO0 bushels, have gone into the export trade, averaging 3,466, 900 bushels a week. Among the seven seaports, for which the Chamber of Commerce makes annual compilation. New York took 39.4 per cent of the grain receipts at these seven outlets. This represented a total of 1S,612, 900 bushels for New York alone, or more than twice the quantity received in 1911. Last year seven leading ports received 54,9SO,000 bushels against 261, 1920, 900 in 1911.
 That the grain exporting movement still keeps up is evident from recent purchases of a million bushels of wheat in Nhe west in a single day for export. During the week of the cur rent month ending May II exports from New York to Europe exceeded 3,00O,O00 bushels of grain, not includ- ing four, At the current freight rate of 20 pense or 4Oc a bushe1 the vessels during that, weeks business earned a gross income from that sim gle source of S1.2oO,ooo from New York alone.

GETTING IN.
SHAPE.::T0 Do BIG
THINGS FOR NINOT
ASSOCIATION OF COMMERCE is
MAKING STRONG EFFORT TO
COLLECT UP BACK DUES AND
DO ACTUAL WORK.

A strong effort is being made by
the Secretary of the Minot Associa-
tion of Commerce to collect up all
back dues, so that something really
tangible and good can be done for the
city. So many people do not realize
just what expense an Association Of
Commerce has. There are number
of expenses that cannot be curtailed if
good work is to be done. Then there
are extraordinary expenses that come
up without warning that must be
taken care of in order to not have Mi
not lose caste among the progressive
cities Of the state.
The first of April was the begin
ming of the second quarter of the year
1916, and on that date it was found
that large sum of money was owing
the Association from men who are
amply able to pay their obligations. If
this money was all collected in the
Association of Commerce could under
take almost any tas k for the good of
Minot, but if it cannot be collected in
the work Of the association will have
to linger along about as usual. Every
possible economy is being practiced in
order to keep the funds above the low
water mark. New members are being
secured almost every day by the Min
ute Men, but the money that is owing
the association furnishes the stumbl-
ing block, and were this removed,
things would be great deal different
for all concerned, which is every bus
mess man in the city.
1t is urged that all members Of the
Association make special effort dur
ing the next two or three weeks to
pay up their obligations to the organ
iZation.

knowledge of the insurance laws and
at least reasonable degree of admin
istrative ability These qualifications
can be acquired, if at all, only by ex-
perience. In this connection attention
is called to the fact that in addition
to the steadily increasing amount of
work devolving upon this Office as a
result of the rapid growth of the in
surance business, the responsibility
and labors of the commissioner of in
surance have been immeasurably en-
larged from the fact that he has been
charged with supervision of the state
hail insurance fund, the fire marshal
law and the state bonding fund. 1t is
true, that the law creating the state
bonding fund is not operative at pres
ent but it is likely to become effective
within short time.
The state of North Dakota owes me
nothing. On the contrary I am deeply

been possible for me to give in the
past-my candidacy is submitted.

arrived in the city today, bringing
with him Steve Barnak, the Van Hook
farmer, who was arrested for beat
ing his wife. Barnak was declared in
sane by the Mountrail county auth
critics. The sheriff turned the man
over to the state officer, McGillis, who
will take Barnak to Jamestown.
Barnak has been arrested four times
for beating his wife. He would be-
come angry at the least provocation
and give the poor woman a terrible
beating. He spent one whole winter
in the Mountrail county jail for this
and Mrs. Barnak declared that it was
the most enjoyable time she had had
since her married life began. Barnak
lived in a hovel in Mountrail county
and would seldom work. His wife
made the living by taking in washing.
Eight children were born to the cou-
pie, five of whom are living.

that it only had one end, so thinking
it would be unwise to leave it hang

the other end and then placed it under

she replied, "but do you know, in some

new SYSTEM OF
PARKING CARS
MINOT WILL TRY OUT SYSTEM
USED IN LARGER CITIES OF
THE EAST.

In few days the police department
will inaugurate plan of parking au-
tomobiles on Main street that is in
force in many eastern, and for that
matter, western cities.
that something should be done to do
away with the cluttering up Of the
curb with cars that are brought down
town in the morning and remain there
all day. 1t has been common cause
for adverse comment upon the part of
those who drive in from the country
and other towns, that it is almost i'm
possible for them to drive up to any
business place in this city on account
of the parking of the Minot cars along
the curb. The new plan provides for
a marked off space in the exact center
Of the street, and all cars will then
be run into the center of the street and
stand diagonally across the street.
This will give about seventeen feet
passing space on both sides Of the
parked cars, ample room for a car
to pull up to the curb for moment
to discharge passengers or load pas
sengers while another car going the
same way can pass easily and safely.
This plan is in force in Chicago,
Omaha, Minneapolis and other met
ropolitan cities. It is expected that
there will be objections to the plan at
first until the car owners realize that
it has features that beat the old sys-
EN- all hollow. A traffic policeman will
be stationed along Main street and
will assist all car owners in getting
used to the idea.

PLANS BEING PERFECTED FOR

Monday night at the regular meet
ing of the City Commission a COM
mittee consisting of Mayor Shaw, O.
M. Pierce and Will E. Holbein was ap-
pointed to plan the details of clean
up and paint-up week for Minot in the
near future.
1t is expected that plan similar to
the one used in Cincinnati, Ohio, last
year will be used here. and this plan
calls for special effort for a whole
week upon the part of all property
owners. not only to slick up the city,
but assist in making fire prevention a
reality.
The committee has already started
work, and in short time the bill
boards about the city will be en-
blazoned with startling posters, and
the shop windows properly placarded
so that che who runs may read"
This committee will also furnish
some of the publicity for the City
Beautiful forces, headed by the wo-
mems clubs Of the city, in fact, will
cooperate with the city, in addition to
some of the fine plans already made
by the city commission.
The funds for the use Of this COM
mittee are being provided by the
wholesale and jobbing houses of the
city, all the managers of these houses
being enthusiastic over the project
of the cleanup week.
The railroads will be asked to beau
tify their right Of ways, and it is ex-
pected that both roads passing thru

Overland Cars Sold on National Par
tial PAYMENT Plan.

The latest periodicals and maga-
zines are all carrying heavy adver
tisements of the Guaranty Securities
Company, a New York corporation,
who have concluded arrangements SO
that Overland or WHY'S Knight auto
mobiles may be sold on the partial
payment plan.
The Minot Auto Company have al
ready completed arrangements with
the Guaranty Securities Company so
that they are enabled to sell Overland
and Willys-Knight cars to anyone for
a small payment down and the balance
in small monthly payments. On ac-
count of the low rate of interest
charged, this is plan that will appeal
to many prospective purchasers who
possibly might otherwise feel it neces-
sary to wait awhile before they felt
they could afford to place their order
for an automobile.
When one takes into considerable
the remarkable value offered in Over
land cars, together with the wonder
full and unlimited Overland service
which has been established for the
benefit of Overland owners, and also
the fact that these can now be pur
chased on the partial payment plan
we are beginning to wonder if there
will be any Of US, within the next six
months, who will not have an Over
land.
