Geo. s. LOTUS Died
Sunday Evening

Fargo, July 17.-George s. Lotus,
sales manager of the Equity Coop
erative Exchange, died last night at
$3.50 o'clock at the home of his sister
in St. Paul after an illness Of almost
year.
The death of Mr.. LOTUS, while not
unexpected, comes as great shock
to large number of people over the
state of North Dakota, especially so
to the members of the Equity, whose
battles Mr.. LOTUS had been fighting
since he became connected with the
organization.
A telegram received at Equity
headquarters here this morning from
J. G.. Critics stated that Mr.. Lotus
suffered terribly toward the last, his
ailment being one that caused great
suffering all during his illness. His
death was due to cancer of the bowels.
Mr.. LOTUS was 43 or AZ years Of
age. He leaves a wife, three daugh-
ters and one son, in the immediate
family, all Of whom were with him at
the time of his death. The deceased
was born in Wisconsin. For a number
of years he was connected with one
of the leading western railroads and
was considered one of the greatest
rate experts Of the northwest. After
leaving the railroad business Mr..
Lotus entered the commission busi-
ness, being an active member of the
firm of the LOTUS Hubbard Co. In
July, 1912, he became sales manager
of the Equity, and after his connec-
ton with that organization, Travelled
considerably throughout the state of
North Dakota. where he became
known to practically every farmer of
the commonwealth.
Mr.. Lotus was taken i'll at Minot,
N. D., in August, 1915, and since
that time had steadily declined. He
went to Florida for his health, spend
ing all of last winter there. There
were several times during his illness
that he was not expected to live, but
his remarkable constitution pulled
him through on each occasion.
The death of Mr.. Lotus takes from
the Equity one Of its most active
workers.
A telegram received this morning
at Equity headquarters from Mrs.
Lotus states that the funeral will be
held Wednesday afternoon at two
o'clock. No other information was
given, but it is presumed that it will
be held from the residence Of the sis
ter. The telegram from J. G. Critics
stated that the funeral will be in
charge of the Equity.

Birth OF A Nation
At WillistOn ArmOry

In the list of accurate battle scenes
and maneuvers in Griffith's birth VI
A Nation," noted pictorial drama of
the Civil War, which visualizes the
problem Of slavery and state soveren-
ity, now attracting large audiences IN
several of the large cities, and which
Manager McGuiness is bringing here
for presentation, is an accurate re-
production of Sherman's march to the
sea. 1t depicts realistic views Of the
Union Troops passing through Geor-
gia, the burning of Atlanta, ETC., etc.
Sherman's move was one of the
decisive acts of the long, hardfought
war as it divided the south and took
awav food supplies which were needed
for the support of the Confederate
Army.
The siege of Atlanta and the flight
of the population to the country is
also a realistic reproduction OF a his.
torical event. In this and in all OF
the battle scenes, D. w. Griffith, the
producer, obeyed the directions of
military experts who mapped out the
movements of the Union and Con-
federate armier as described in the
accurate reports in the possession OF
the United States government. In
fact, many weeks were spent IN the
requirement of data for the staging
of the battle scenes.
Many old soldiers have witnessed
and approved of these reproductions,
saying that they recalled with vivid
impressiveness the hazardous exper-
fences which they endured in army
service.
Portions impress one with lasting
sense of the suffering due to hunger,
showing Confederate soldiers on the
firing line eating sparingly Of short
rations Of parched corn-in another,
the capture of supply train is an
impressive lesson Of the hardships OF
war.
The splendid bringing Of this
mighty attraction to this city, by
Manager McGuiness is not alone con-
spicuous for the enormity of the ac-
complishment (Which is the very
greatest any manager could 40 tor
his patrons) but the event of Griffith's
Birth of A Nation for 4 days, July
24-25-26-27, here will long be remem-
bered as one of the greatest occa-
sions in the history of the city, ac-
companied by their celebrated SYM
phony orchestra of 25 musicians.

10 $500 more value for his money in
the Series II Studebakers, than in
any other line now on the market, and
that they only asked the buyer to
make his own thorough investigation
to prove this statement.
The Studebakers are made in both
four and six cylinder models, OF
3, 5 or Z passenger capacity; are up
holstered in fine, genuine straight,
grained leather, bodies are large and
roomy, and beautifully and durably
finished. All Studebakers are equip.

genuine Timken Adjustable Roller
Bearings, have the most perfect type
of positively full-foating rear axle,
and for still greater safety in this
respect, Mr.. Stevenson stated, that
every Studebaker car was designed
and constructed with two radius rods,
from the rear axle to chassis frame
on both sides, pressed steel torque
arm, and full three-quarter elliptic
springs, containing nine leaves in the
main spring, and underslung in self
lubricating rocker spring seat. They
stated that in addition to it's great
safety, this construction assured ex-
tremely comfortable riding qualities
in every car. All studebaker cars
are also equipped with double acting,

60 inches Of braking surface, to as

biles in Montana, Northern Wyoming
and Western Montana, with General
Offices at Billings, Montana, and
branches at most convenient points
in Montana for serving dealers and
owners of the very popular Stude-
baker cars, spent Friday, Saturday
and Sunday in Williston comforting
with Messrs Monroe Brothers over
plans for establishing a similar
branch at this point. Messrs Monroe
Brothers are interested in the bust
ness and in addition to being local
managers for the Company's territory
in Western North Dakota and North
eastern Montana, will handle this
popular line exclusively for the re-
tail territory in and around Williston,
and will Of course continue their high
grade and popular service to owners
and nearby dealers. Several trained
statesmen will also be in the field to
cooperate with Studebaker dealers in
this territory.
Mr.. Stevenson and Mrs. Monroe, in
talking with The Graphic also stated
that an extensive advertising cam
paign would soon be inaugurated
throughout the territory to further
acquaint prospective car buyers with
their many superior points and value

Both Mr.. Monroe and Mr.. Stevenson

Festival For
Ray In August

Ray, N. D., July 2O.-The Grain
Palace Festival Committee composed
of w. A. NORM, C. F. Peterson and
Atty. A. G. J. Anderson who have in
charge the work of raising the funds
and making the arrangements for the
Festival to be held here August 4th
and 5th, are busy all the time with
the prelimnaries and have been very
successful in getting the citizens to
subscribe liberal amounts for this
purpose. 1t is expected that about
81 10000 will be raised this season
and that the entire amount will be
paid out as premiums and prizes for
exhibits of grains, vegetables, fruits
and exhibits of stock and also will
include the prizes for the races and
other funds.
The premium lists are now being
made out and will be lengthy as
we'll as a very liberal one. The prizes
will be larger than previous years
which will be an incentive for the
farmers and other exhibitors to take
pains to bring in the best of their
products for the exhibition. The COM
mittee in charge are now lining up
outside attractions to be here during
the entire two days and these features
will be of the best in the northwest.
Foreign talent will also be in the city
as the present European war has
brought hundreds of acrobats and
athletic experts to the United States
and several of these artists are now
in the western states so that it will
be possible to secure them for these
days to help entertain the people.

Crop Conditions Are
Good In Williams

At some time during the past ten
days every part of Williams county
has received rain, and the greater
part of the northwestern corner of
the state has had period of cool
weather following a heavy rainfall.
This has put the crops in an excep-
tionally fine condition, and one big
crop-hay-is already assured and
will be heavier than for several years
past.
There were reports of slight dam
age by hail, but nothing Of any conse-
quence so far as is known here. Mon
day night there was a heavy rain in
the northern part of the county, and
in fact all around Williston but no
rain fell here. However this vicinity
had just been visited by 24-hour rain
fall and was not in need Of more mois-
ture. The storm of Monday night did
considerable damage in northern Will
liams county and also in Divide coun-
ty where it was the most severe, the
wind blowing down a number Of barns
and damaging houses and other prop
erty. The lightning also killed some
livestock both in pastures and in
buildings. At Fortuna on the 500 a
lumberyard was scattered about by
the wind.
At Grenora the wind blew several
tents down and left their occupants
exposed to the torrental rain which
fell during the night. No serious
damage was done, however.

St. PAUL BUSINESS
men HERE JULY 28
SPECIAL TRAIN WILL BRING 100
BUSINESS MEN FROM THE
SANITY CITY

A party of rs to 100 of the leading
wholesale merchants and manufac-
turers of the city of St. Paul will
will visit Williston July %, arriving
8 a. m. and remaining for SO minutes.
The trip is arranged under the aus
pices of the St. Paul Association of
Commerce-the leading civic and
commercial organization of the city,
to which all of the merchants and
manufacturers belong.
Trade Excursions or booster
Trips as they are popularity spoken
of, have become regular summer
feature of the work of the Associa-
ton of Commerce. For several years,
two trips of a week each, have been
taken, and practically every portion
of St. Pauls great trade territory
has been visited. Since the members
of the party have not visited Montana
for some time, however, and as that
State has made rapid strides in popu-
lation and development since their
last visit, the party has decided 70
spend two full weeks visiting points
in Montana and North Dakota, on
the lines of the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern a G. M. 4 st. T. Rys.
The purpose of these excursions is to
give the wholesalers and manufac-
turers an opportunity to call upon
their friends and customers at their
own places of business, and get a
frst-hand acquaintance with their
territory and trade conditions. In
reality they are not trade excursions,
because no effort is made to sell goods
or establish trade relations. They
could be more properly styled $50
cialibility trips" Their object is first
and last, better acquaintance and good
fellowship.
The party travels in a special
train, leaving St. Paul at noon, Sun
day, July 16. The train consists of
baggage car, two dining cars, one
tourists sleeper for employees, five
standard Pullman .sleepers, and one
observation car. The party live upon
their train during the entire two
weeks.
The Minnesota State Band of
twenty-three pieces, the crack band
of the Northwest, led by A. L. Snyder,
accompanies the party and a concert
will be given on Main street between
and 9 o'clock Friday morning, the
train remaining here so minutes
On Wednesday, July 26 the special
will arrive at Sidnew at 11:30 a. m.
and will leave at 1890 for tour
across Mckenzie county, stopping for
Is minutes at each Watford, Alex
ander, Charbonneau, Cartwright and
returning to Fairview, Montana will
remain overnight and on July %
will visit at all stations from Fair
view to Scobey, spending about an
hour at the latter place and hours
and rs minutes at Plentywood.

0PP0RTUNES TAKE
MANY GAMES IN WEEK
WILL MEET FAMOUS ALL MA.
TIONS TEAM HERE JULY 1880;
AT MINOT NOW

Williston's baseball aggregation,
"The Opportunes," having been har-
vestng games right along recently
and in this way living up to their ex-
cellent reputation established earlier
in the season.
Here is list of the games played
since July -:
Minot V. Williston, at Williston:
July 12-Minot /, Williston II.
July l3-Minot 0, Williston 8.
July 14-Minot 2, Williston 8.
Glasgow v. Williston at Glasgow:
July 15-Glasgow 8, Williston 2.
July 16-Double header, Glasgow
gov 6, Williston IA.
In the second game with Minot an
alteration arose when Marshall was
put into the game for the home team
without being announced by the um-
pire. Minot was in the lead at the
time but Williston was gaining when
the dispute arose. The manager of
the local team offered to return the
men to the bases where they were at
the beginning of the play and bat
again or to let the men remain as
they were and be called out. How
ever Minot's manager was not in
concilatory mood and refused to con-
tinue the game and thus it was for
feited to Williston. A baseball au-
'thority later upheld Williston, al
though the umpire was acknowledged
to be at fault by his failure to an
nounce the new man put in.
The Opportunes 60 to Minot Fri
day to open three-game series with
the Magicians on their field which will
be played July 21, %, %.
On July 25, 26 and q the Oppor-
tunes will take on the Plentywood
team at Bruegger Park, and for
big attraction the home boys will meet
the famous All Nations at Williston
on Saturday and Sunday, July 29-3O.
This will be an unusually interesting
game, and especially so if the home
boys win at Minot and with Plenty
wood.
