Offering at Cosy To-day

For your approval the Cosy Theater
is presenting today the popular ia
vorite, Dorothy Phillips, in a big
sensational photoplay called The
Girl in the Checkered Coat" Your
attention is especially called to the
fact Miss Phillips plays both roles
in this extraordinary drama Mise
Phillips does not merely pose but
actually acts both leading parts. So
com plete is her change of expression
that critics who have seen this drama
have been inclined to disbelieve that
Miss Phillips is playing both parts.

The real thing that caused the
grand event was from the influence

LIBERTY BOND NOTES.

M. K. Porter, chairman of the
Northwestern district, demonstrated
that he has the right kind of a
punch" He has organized his dis
trict perfectly and not man will es-
cape the opportunity of investing in
a Liberty bond.
Ira Wight says: "There amt no
such thing as yellow peril.'" Ira
had charge of the committee that dis
posed of bonds among the Minot Japs
and every one approached invested
their earnings.
Secretary Holbein of the Associa-
tion of Commerce is buster this week
than the one-armed paper hanger we
read about. When the Secretary
came to the Association of Commerce
two years ago, he intimated that he
had capacity for work, but the d.
rectors didn't expect that they were
getting man capable Of handling six
or dozen jobs. The Secretary is up
on his toes all of the time and this
has had good deal to do with the
amount Of "jazz" that the members
of the various committees are dis
playing.
U. S. Treasurer Burke speaks to
the members of the committee at 9:30
o'clock sharp Friday morning. "Hon-
est John" Burke, who was three times
governor of North Dakota, is now
treasurer of the richest country in the
world, and guards the millions in
Uncle Sans Golfers we'll. There is no
more loyal American than our former
governor and we're all proud of him.
There's war between the Japs and
the Greeks of Minot, but it's friendly
contest. They are trying to out-do
one another in buying Liberty bonds
and at present the Greeks are ahead.
George Kruger Of Ryder worked
two hours selling Liberty bonds Tues.
day, visited % farmers and sold each
one hundred dollars worth Of bonds

be canvassed.
Three Minot men, who prefer that
their names be not published, sub
scribed for $4,000 worth of bonds
each. One Minot woman subscribed
for $4,000 worth of bonds and another
Minot woman for 81 900. Eight or ten
Minot men have subscribed for a
thousand dollars worth of bonds each,
and two subscribed for $4,000 each.
There we're more subscribers in Mi

GOLDEN WEDDING.

Van Hook, N. D., Oct. 17-One Of
the rare social events of the year 1917
was the golden wedding anniversary
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry D. Hodges, at
the residence of tAeir son, VIM.
Hodges, on October 18th, 1917.
The wedding ceremony was per-
formed at high twelve, Rev. C. D.
Norris officiating. The ring service
was used in which the "timid groom"
placed beautiful ID karat gold ring
on the third finger of the blushing
bride, encouraged bv the cheers and
applause of the audience. After con-
gratulations, the bridal party and
guests to the number of fifty repair
ed to the dining room where boun-
tiful course dinner was served which
was very heartily enjoyed by all.
The guests were largely the friends
of early acquaintance in life. AS one
OF the very necessities of a wedding
fifty years ago was chivari, the early
style was adopted and duly executed.
Mr.. Henry D. Hodges is we'll pre-
served and carries his seventy-fve
years in rare good style. He is one of
the few of the Civil War veterans. He
has been resident of Sawyer since
1900.
He and his estimabe lady are
among the best citizens - to know
them is their best recommendation. A
golden wedding is rare event in the
social world, yet in this family we
see an event that excels by far the
rarity Of the common or ordinary
golden wedding Mr. and Mrs. James
Hodges (son of this couple) celebrat-
ed her parents golden wedding July
2, 1917, and his parents golden we'd
ding Oct. 18th, 1917. (Mr. and Mrs.
James Hodges have been married
nearly twenty years.) Mr.. and Mrs.
Hodges received many presents and
mementos consisting of gold
bronze clock; gold-headed cane, gold
headed parasol, gold-lined shaving
outfit, two SIS gold coins, gold knl1e,
gold thimble, gold pickle fork and var
ious other mementos that are highly
cherished. At late hour all bid Mr.
and Mrs. Hodges good night, with the
wish that they may enjoy many re-
! turns of Oct. 18th.

.LUTHERANS Celebrate
400TH ANNIVERSARY
st. Pauls Lutheran Church the Scene
of Three Interesting Sessions on
Sunday-Red Cross Collection

The special exercises held at the St.
Paups Lutheran church in this city
Sunday commemorating the 40Oth an
niversary of the Reformation, were
attended by large numbers, some com
ing from as far as 90 miles away.
Three sessions were held and inter-
esting and instructive sermons were
given by Rev. R. D. Messerli of Flax
ton, Rev. L. G. Nachtsheim of Mime
.apolis, Prof. P. E. Kretzman, Phi. D.,
IConcordia college, St. Paul. and Rev.
VIM. Hartman, the local pastor.
Special violin music was rendered

ability.
At the Sunday nights services col
lection of $44 was taken for the Ward

Minot Will Reach the 100000 Mark
Friday Evening-Ward County
and Northwestern District Will
Oversubscribe.

The campaign for the big Liberty
Loan drive in the Northwestern dis
trict of North Dakota opened Monday
morning and by Friday night it is ex-
pected that the quota for the district,
consisting of $600,00U, will have been
oversubscribed by the conclusion of
the campaign which ends Oct. 27.
Minot's purchase of liberty bonds up
until this (Thursday) evening
amounts to exactly $177,35O, and R.
NJ Graham, chairman of the Minot
committees, informs the Independent
that his boys will ego over the top"
Friday evening, when the entire quota
for Minot, 100000, will have been
oversubscribed.
One never saw such an enthusiastic
bunch Of workers as the members of
the Minot committees. They have
been out working in the stormiest
weather, dropping their business at
the busiest season of the year, and
they have been getting results.
Ward county is expected to raise
$320,000 by the sale of bonds and the
County Chairman, Robert E. Barron,
states that there is no question but
what the bonds will be oversubscribed
before Oct. 27. The campaign has
been conducted during the stormiest
week Of the entire year and this has
disarranged the plans in the country
districts. Plans had been made where
by every resident Of the county was to
have been canvassed during the week.
The roads are now almost impossible
and it will require most Of next week
for the task to be accomplished.
The campaign in the district opened
bright and early Monday morning.
Minot subscribed $4,000 in 20 min
utes Monday morning and at one
o'clock the subscriptions had passed
the $4,000 mark. Whenever an ad-
ditional ten thousand dollars worth of
bonds are sold, the whistles of the city
are blown indicating the high water
mark.
One of the committeeman remarked
to the Independent that it was easy
to sell liberty bonds, much easier than
during the former sale. Men who hes
itated at buying a $50 bond of the
first issue, have come to full real
ization that this war must be won
with money as well as soldiers, and
they are subscribing for a thousand
dollars worth Of bonds"
There isn't Stacker in any Of the
committees. The organization is work
ing perfectly. The task is so large
that not more than half of the people
Of Minot have been canvassed, but the
work will be carried on until every
body has been given a chance to in
vest. Eight townships tributary to
this city, have been included in the
Minot territory and they are good for

SEE THE BIG WAR
FROM A BALLOON
United States Army Inaugurates New
Service-BallOOn Observers in the
Theatre of War to be Given
Front Seat.

Word has just been received today
of perhaps the newest and most inter-
esting branch of the Army. This new
branch of the service is for the pur-
pose Of making observation from cap
tive balloons. The most exciting mo-
ments are when these captive bal
looms are picked as targets by the
enemy aeroplane, at which time the
.chutes firmly attached to their per-
sons, jump out of the balloon basket,
even though they are three or four
thousand feet from the ground, and
float down to safety while the friend
ly airships Immediately arrive and at
tempt to drive off the attackers from
the unoccupied balloon.
To those who were unable to gain
admission in the Officers Training
Camps, for one reason or another,
this is your opportunity. The govern
men wants men of the calibre of offic-
ers for the United States army and
they must be between the ages of 25
and 35 years. The lowest rank is
First Lieutenant, with pay of $4,000
per year, and SO per cent extra when
in active service.
This is an opportunity for we'll edu-
Gated men, perfecably graduates of
technical colleges with athletic train
ing who have had broad experience
and who have demonstrated their reli-
ability and accuracy of observation.
Those who are successful in passing the
examination for commission will be
sent Immediately to France and put
into action at once.
It is suggested that those interest
ed get in touch with Mr. Orrin M
Pierce, Minot, N. D., Local Branch
Chairman of the Military Training
Camps Association, who has applica-
tion blanks for distribution and de-
tails concerning this new branch of
the service which is bound to become
very popular. Only limited number
of applications can be received for this
branch-therefore, if you are going to
investigate this proposition, do so at
once.
Yours very truly,
WHARTON CLAY,
Executive Secretary.

said that five or six days ago the
crosshead pin, which is about five
inches in diameter, broke, but the dam
age had been repaired.
The Great Northern Lumber Co., To-
Gated just across the street from the
power plant, suffered slight damages.
Five or six windows on The west Side
Of the building were broken by flying
bricks from the power building, one
of the bricks going clear through the
office, breaking out window on the
opposite side.
David McClusky had been employed
by the Northern States Power Co. for
little over year He was regarded
very highly by his employers. He was
a capable engineer and was ambitious
to better his condition. For several
years he had been studying electrical
engineering through correspondence
course. His former home was in Gran
vile, Putnam county, ILL.,, where his
parents and two sisters reside. He had
been drawn in the selective draft for
the army, but was exempted for in
dustrial reasons.
Manager J. F. Mcclure was inter-
viewed by representative of the In
dependent. Mr.. Mcclure has been one
of the leaders this week in disposing
Of liberty loan bonds in the city, but
was compelled to give his entire time
Wednesday to looking after matters
arising from the terrible accident. He
stated that the engines had all been
inspected very recently and that they
had been working almost perfectly
Although he regrets the death of a
faithful employe more than words can
express, the accident was one of such
nature that it could not possibly
have been helped. The tons of steel
revolving at the rate of 200 times a
minute flew to pieces through CEN
trifugal force as is the case frequent
ly in power plants. Mr.. Mcclure is
very thankful that the accident occur
red when it did as the streets were
free from pedestrians, otherwise there
might have been other fatalities
Gen. Supt. L. D. Smith of Minneap-
oils was notified of the accident at
once and he arrived this morning.

banker, was in the city Wednesday.
Speaking of the Liberty Bonds, he
stated: 'Do you know that Burling

ed of the towns outside of Minot?
Our share is $10,85O, while that of
Foxholm is about $4,000 and Des
