The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1916-08-24

The gathering of the Minot Luth-
eran Ladies' Aid at the residence OF
Mrs. Ole Saugstad as a social func-
ton, was pronounced success. About
two hundred, members and friends,
journeyed from Minot and adjacent
territory, to enjoy the charm of a
pleasing hospitality proffered midst
an environment which for scenic beau
ty and restfulness is beyond compar-
ison.
F. J. Whitman, who has just re-
turned from an extended trip which
embraced the principal eastern points,
with Miss Anna Whitman, is the guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. c. Kuchenbecker.
Mr.. Harding from the sad village
east was a welcome visitor during the
week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Floyde Hubbard, who
spent several days as the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn Myers, in that
sweet little bungalow SO oft referred
to, returned reluctantly to the soil
tude Sawyer suffers.
Mr.. O'Brien, in charge of a crew of
best interests of the Northern Tele-
phone company in this neighborhood.
There is ample scope for a consider
able extension Of the system here
abouts.
The town council have under consd-
Grafton the problem of handling an
ever-increasing automobile congestion
on Main street and it is probable that
they will deem it advisable to forbid
the parking of cars on this busy thor
oughfare. Logan will enforce the or
dinance if adopted, and Minot can
then see how it should be done.
Myers & Brady, successors to j. G.
Gard, are gifted with business facul-
ty, courtesy and enterprise. The re-
cent addition of an immense stock of
shoes is to be supplemented by the ar
rival of complete stock Of the latest
in dry goods, and the line of groceries
handled permits of their confident as
sertion that mail order competition no
longer offers any attraction to patrons
Do you trade in your home town?
Peter provided the placid last Sun
day evening by rambling discourse
remarkable alone for a shallowness of
reasoning and sham piety. To one
who has stumbled and suffered thru
the valley and shadow of an intoler-
ant spiritual ignorance, persistently
emphasized, it should be in a spirit
of contrite humility that he claims
to voice truth and the arrogant as
sumption of superior insight denotes
an irrepressible conceit, and illustrates
forcibly the truth of the adage that a
little knowledge is dangerous thing
The socialists are forever pointing
to the illustration the post office sys,
tenn affords of the practicability OF
their theory. We wonder if this be.
lief is what prompts the patronage OF
a capitalist express company money
order Office by a sanity disciple. Or
is he renegade? -tFD.
+ The need of a stockyards at Logan
is real. The 500, should investigate
this point, which is fast becoming a
shipping point for high class stock.
We know of few years which have
offered as attractive a proposition tc
the man who can handle a feed mil
as the present. There will be a large
percentage of poor grain which car
be fed to a greater advantage wher
ground-and Logan is a location hare
to equal. Who has the enterprise?
J. c. Gard, who recently retired
from the general merchandise bust
ness, so long and successfully conduct
ed, is contemplating the erection 0:
business block on Main street, por
ton Of which will be given over to j.;
hardware stock.
