"DOUBTS YOUR SINCERITY"

T am not joking about this. It sounds like piece of irony. It is not. It is req son; it is founded on the soundest mor- ality. You can nag men into condition where they will oppose the best thing you can think of. Take this very case No man of common sense in the world regards 1t as of the slightest importance to his moral character or intellectual de- velopment that he should be able to buy drink. He may want it. He may resent
 your interference as some one interfer- ing with his opinion, but if he has any
 sense at all he knows that it never did
 him a bit of good to buy 1t or drink it and that doing without it cannot do him bit of harm. Come right out and tell him so right at the jump and be done with it and argue it out with him;
 sooner or later you might convince him.
 But if you approach him in Jesuistic way, little bit this year and a little bit more next year, and little bit more the next, nibbing as you go, after awhile he not only cannot be convinced that he is not being deprived of a very valuable personal liberty, but he cannot be con vinced that you are honest and sincere. He gets in frame of mind where he thinks you are doing it for political pur-

BEAUTIFUL YOUNG
i LIFE HAS ENDED

Miss Mabel Hulberg, the fifteen
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M.
O. Hulberg, prominent residents of the
south prairie, died at the home of her
parents ten miles south of Minot Sun
day afternoon at o'clock, following
an operation for appendicitis. Miss
Hulberg had submitted to what was
considered a very successful opera
ton several days before, and the doc
tor had arrived to dress the wound.
She was given chloroform, the trained
nurse assisting the doctor in giving it,
but she failed to rally from the effects
of the anaesthetic.
The funeral was held from the home
Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock,
Rev. ]. Tonne, pastor of the United
Lutheran church of Minot preaching
a comforting sermon. A large number
of friends gathered and the floral trib-
utes were many and exceedingly beau
tiful. The remains were laid tenderly
to rest in the cemetery near the home
farm.
Mabel would have been fifteen years
old the 10th of April. She was born
in Todd county, Mimi, and accompan-
led her parents to Ward county in
1901. She received her education in
the school near her home, where she
was generally beloved by teachers,
schoolmates and neighbors. She is
survived by her parents, two brothers
and little sister, who have the sincere
sympathy of many friends. She was
a young woman of exceedingly lovable
disposition and her untimely death

Hundreds of electric lights converted
the place into scene of rare bril-
lance. Many Of the best known cars
were represented in the exhibit but it
was impossible for all to secure space,
so attractive displays were shown at a
number of the salesrooms about the
city.
The Chalmers car, which is handled
by the Moore Motor Co., is being
shown in the lobby of the Leland,
where one Of the beautiful cars was
placed with considerable difficulty
The New Era car is being shown at
the lobby of the Waverly hotel The
car is attracting a great deal of at
tention. The main exhibit of the
Western Sales Co., is shown at the
quarters in the Lexington block,
where a complete line Of Madison and
New Era cars may be seen.
It appears as tho everybody, their
uncles, their cousins, and their aunts
are attending the show. The city is
crowded with visitors from all sections
of the state. Every train coming into
the city from any direction is crowded.
The hotels can hardly take care of the
big crowds and many are finding lodg-
ing places in Minot homes.
The auto dealers are doing a great
business. Agencies are being placed
and hundreds of cars of the various
makes have been sold outright during
the week.
Music is being furnished each even
ing by the high school orchestra.
Will E. Holbein, secretary of the
Association of Commerce, who has
managed the auto show frim it's incep-
ton, is having his hands full this
week, but he is equal to any occasion.
The Minot Auto Co. opened it's beau
iful new sales room this week, where
a classy display Of Overland cars is to
be seen. Hundreds have visited this

THOUSANDS attend
BIG AUTO SHOW

The Northwestern North Dakota
Automobile Show opened Wednesday
afternoon at the Armory with every
exhibit in position.
Every day of the show so far, and
late each evening, the Armory,. which
has been transformed into a beautiful
Oriental palace, has been crowded
with visitors On every hand express
sions of amazement from visitors as
they entered and beheld the splendor
of the interior decorations, were heard.
Were Architect Robert B. Stacy-Judd
not so level-headed fellow, the
ecomiums of praise heard upon every
side would have completely spoiled
him. The decorating scheme was or
iginal in conception and formed most
magnificent setting for the many
beautiful cars that are on exhibition.
Mr.. Stacy-Judd donated his services,
which could not have been excelled at
any price, and we doubt if they could
we'll be equalled.
The work of decorating the interior
was done by the Minot Display AID. Co.
under the supervision of the old relia-
BILE A. F. Bacon. Mr.. Bacon worked
thirty-seven hours without stopping
in order that the show might begin on
schedule time. The building of the in
terror was in the hands Of Wood &
Mcdonald.
The Independent is not going to try
to describe the beauty of the interior
of the Armory, for one would have to
visit the place in order to appreciate
it. We doubt if any auto show in
the state ever had so pretty setting.

INTERVENTION IN
MEXICO IMMINENT,

One thousand Mexican bandits un-
der the leadership Of Villa, the motor
ious Mexican chief, crossed the border
early this morning, killing a number
of citizens, including women and chill
dren, and seven U. S soldiers, besides
wounding a score or more. It is esti-
mated that at least so of the raiders
were killed and hundreds wounded.
The attack was made at Columbus, a
small frontier post, where a small
body of soldiers were stationed to pa
troll the border This last outbreak
will undoubtedly result in interven-
ton on the part of our government, as
Carranza seems unable to cope with
the unsettled conditions of the Mexi-
can republic.

evening when a straw stack on his
farm caved in, burying him under tons
OF the straw. Mr.. DIN was digging
out straw from the hollow Of the

caved in. Verne Hunt, who was near
at hand assisting him, summoned help

lifeless form was dug out. George
Helm and J. H. Copeland, assisted in
recovering the body. Mr.. DIN was

A. N. THOMPSON
FOR STATE'SA7T0RNEY

A. M Thompson who has served sew
eral terms in the legislature, will
probably not be a candidate for re-
election, but instead it is possible that
he will be candidate for states at
torney of Ward county on the repub-
lican ticket.
The Independent was unable to in
terview Mr.. Thompson to learn
whether or not he has any intention
of becoming candidate, but if he
does, he will certainly be a candidate
to be reckoned with. Mr.. Thompson
has never yet been defeated for any
office to which he has aspired and he
has lost none of his popularity with
the people.

On Wednesday Germany declared
