few MOTOR CARS
STORED FOR WINTER
Dodge Brothers Enclosed Conveyances
Good in Any Weather-Pleasure
of Winter Motoring.

The "stored for winter" tag on mo-
tor cars will be less in evidence thru
cut the country this year than ever be-
fore, according to the Mr.. Fuller, of
the McKinney-Fuller Motor Co., deal
ers in Dodge Brothers cars in this city.
There are several reasons, he says.
One is the unparalleled business activ-
ity now in prospect, which will require
incessant use Of the automobile for
business men. Another is the growing
impression that "the motor car made
these days is good enough in any wea-
ther." Still another, and perhaps more
important, is the development of win
ter cars to the point where cost no
longer conflicts with comfort.
In other words, the time has arrived
when the average motor car owner
will not hesitate between shivering
through the winter in an open convey
ance, or investing in year-around-com-
fort by buying winter car. The mo-
troist has come to regard it as an ac-
tual economy. Tucked away in the
warmth of an enclosed car on his way
to the office, he no longer finds it nee
essarv to devote the first half hour of
his working time to warming up"
AS one has put it: 81 find wholesome
pleasure even in defying the blustery
winds; it puts me in good mood for
the morning"
Due to conditions such as these as
we'll as the criterion afforded by the
heavy sales Of last year, Dodge Broth
ers' dealers are preparing for an ex-
ceptional demand. They are now in a
position to supply snug winter cars
both of the touring and roadster type:
Slight alterations in the style used
last year make it even more desirable,
both from the standpoint Of taste and
comfort. The interior is handsomely
upholstered in grey and both the road
ster and touring car are fitted with a
dome light of pleasant glow. Doors
fit tightly but open easily and rattling
is minimized by exactness of construc-
ton. One of the most attractive fea-
lures of the Dodge Brothers winter
car is the fact that the winter top may
be removed without difficulty, thereby
affording an ideal conveyance for use
the year around. Also, by purchasing
a winter top, with which the local
dealer is now supplied, any owner OF a
Dodge Brothers touring car or road
ster may easily convert his last sum-
mer's automobile into dignified, COM
Portable closed car ready to cope with
the worst of weather.

SAY wilson CAN
Thank ward CO.
FOR ELECTION

The democracy of North Dakota, and
particularly of Ward county, take a
great deal Of pleasure in President
Wilson's election. The state went for
him through the splendid work Of the
party and progressive republicans, 80
per cent of whom went to Wilson. Had
the vote in Ward county been along
party lines Wilson would have lost the
state and as it looks now probably the
election. Halvor L. Halvorson, secre-
tary of the State Committee, and
chairman of the Ward County Commit
tee, extends the thanks of both COM
mittees to the republicans, progress
ives, socialists and Independents who
helped to make victory possible. Part
isanship was wiped out to endorse
Wilson's splendid administration, both
domestic and foreign.

STATE PAROLE
BOARD FINISHES ITS
MONTHLY SESSION
Extend Freedom to Number of Prison.
ers-Several Will be Released at
Expiration of Minimum Sentence

Bismarck, Nov. 1.-THE state board
of experts, by which name the North
Dakota parole commission is known,
has completed it's monthly session at
the North Dakota penitentiary, after
extending complete freedom to a num-
Der OF paroled prisoners and paroles to
others. The board voted to discharge
several men at the expiration of their
minimum sentence.
The most important action of the
board was it's resolution accepting
three or four suspended sentence men
as coming under the jurisdiction of
the board. The suspended sentence
always has presented a problem for
the board of experts.
Ordinarily, convict is released on
suspended sentence before the board
has any knowledge of the case. The
boards only recourse in the event a
suspended sentence man escapes is to
hold the county liable for his appre-
hension and return.
At the recent meeting a suspended
man from Minot was up before the
board. In this case, it appeared that
it was case Of ignorance rather than
wilful violation of the law The con.
vict, hearing of a better position al
Fargo, skipped out of his home county
without notifying his employer. "
Under the circumstances, it is not
probable that he will be harshly dealt
with. Under the terms of suspended
sentence, the convict is expected to
report monthly to his employer or
next friend and to deposit 25 per cent
of his pay each month with the war
den at the penitentiary.

Lunch in Minot with cream for the
past five years.
Mr.. Lee has just installed IS. volt
electric light plant on his farm, fur
nishing light for every room IN the
house, and all of his barns, granaries,
etc. The plant was installed by John
Anderson, who has had considerable
success in this work.
Mr.. Lee is married and has four
children. Mrs. Lee is regarded as
equally as good manager as her hus-
band and deserves good share of the
credit for their success.
Mr.. Lee believes in diversified farm
ing. He not only raises considerable
stock but he farms 400 acres of land.
A year ago he marketed 5000 bushels
of grain but this year he raised but
1000 bushels. Still, his cows pay all
expenses and he can get along nicely
even tho he does not sell bushel of
grain.

John J. Lee, one of Ward county's
progressive farmers, owns valuable
farm home five miles north of Minot.
It is we'll improved and Mr.. Lee says
that he would not take $65 an acre
for the land. Mr.. Lee says that he
values his land at around $100 an acre
and should he care to sell, it would be
but a few years before he could get
this price. He is living on his faith

up about 80 years ago. He has $50

Returns
WERE RECEIVED BY
THE INDEPENDENT
Tuesday Nights Service Gave This
Office Most Complete Election
Returns in the City

The Independent office was the mec-
ca for hundreds Of weary political So
journers Tuesday evening, interested
in learning the results of election.
Manager Mcclure of the Northern
States Power Co. very kindly installed
a wire at our office in the afternoon,
connecting with the long distance tel
ephone service with the east, enabling
us to get frequent returns from all
sections of North Dakota as we'll as
from every state in the Union. County,
state and national returns were tabu-
lated and in that way around the mid
night hour, or before, we we're enabled
to give fairly reliable results, except
in the case Of the presidency. During
the early part of the evening, when it
was learned that New York, the New
England states, New Jersey, Wilson's
home state, Illinois and other states
had gone for Hughes, it appeared GER
tain that our next president would be
a republican. At O'clock in the morn
ing, after the rural returns had begun
coming in, it was learned that the two
candidates were running neck and
neck and so close were the results that
it was realized at once that it would
be day or two before the result of
the great fight would be fully deter
mined.
The Independent furnished election
news from ten of the counties of the
state to the Grand Forks Herald and
in return secured results from every
other section of the state, and the
United States, giving this paper the
most complete election returns ever
received in Minot. We were also in
touch with the direct wire to Minneap-
oils, installed by the Western Union in
the Temple Court Cigar Store, where
large crowds gathered, remaining un-
til early morning. Lewis & Co., grain
merchants, also received returns over
their direct wire.
Thousands of people from outside
of the city visited Minot and remained
during the night, showing unusual in
terest in the returns.
During the night our friends in the
country and in the surrounding towns
received the returns by wire from the
Independent Office, several hundred
phone calls being answered during the
night.

PETER VANDfNOfVFR
REELECTED COUNTY
COMMISSIONER
Present Incumbent From the First De-
feats John Ehr, Democratic
Candidate in Election

Peter Vandenoever, commissioner
from the First district, was reelected
by defeating John Ehr, the democratic
nominee. Vandenoever at this writ
ing is 80 votes in the lead with the sec
ond ward to hear from. He is ahead
in every ward heard from except the
"bloody eighth" where Ehr leads him
by 80 votes. This was an unusually
interesting fight, inasmuch as the can
didates are among Minot's very best
business men and both men deservedly
popular.

FOR THE SHY YOUNG PERSON
The Ability to Forget Ones Self ID
to Add Much to the Joy
Of Life.

One of the best ways to conquer q
weakness is to forget it. And the
very surest way to strengthen and
confirm it is to brood over it, and to
bemoan the fact that you are ham,
pered by such faults.
Some young people never attend
a social gathering without a prelim-
mary paralyzing Of their faculties by
recalling the fact that they are shy.
One, as she takes of her hat and
smooths her hair, before going down
stairs where the guests are assem-
bled, is saying to herself: "Now, II
I were a different sort of person, I
should have a real good time tonight.
But just as SOC as I go into COM
pany l grow shy and tongue-tied, and
I can't think of anything to say, and
If I do, I'm afraid to say it. I shall be
glad when the evening is over" And,
of course, she is, since that is what
she expects.
How different it would be If she
could only forget she is shy, X she
should say to herself: II feel it in
my bones that I'm going to have q
good time tonight. Everybody will be
agreeable, and I'm going to be as
agreeable as anybody else. l shall like
people and they will like me-" Then
the story of the evening would prob
ably be very different.
Those who train children emphasize
the Importance of overlooking a great
many things. Emphasizing a fault
overmuch tends to confirm it rather
than to eradicate it. And what is
true of the children, is true of us old
or ones. Keeping the thought of
your weakness continually before you
Is the very thing that will make its
conquest impossible.-Irish World.
