Valet Cleaners Inaugurate Novel Plan
to Clean the Clothing of MinOt
School Children to Ward OFF
Disease.

The Valet Cleaners, member of the
National Association of Cleaners and
Dyers, is making a big hit with the
school children of Minot this week and
next, by cleaning and pressing their
suits at a reduced price of IS cents
The Valet is going a step farther and
is cleaning and pressing the clothing
of Minot poor children, as we'll as
those whose fathers are in the service
of their country. The Valet has Sc
cured the names of the poor children of
the city from the teachers of the Mi
not schools, and the clothing of these
children will be taken care of free.
The Board of Directors of the Nat
ional Association of Cleaners and Dy-
ers has called on it's members to de-
vote the week between Christmas and
New Years to the cleaning of chill
dren's clothing. There is no question
but what many diseases are spread by
unclean clothing worn week after
week.

too complicated for solution outside
a decision by the supreme court Of the
United States and we have our doubts
if the same is worth the expense ne
cessary to carry this case to the
supreme tribunal of the land.
The bond issue carried and that
without the help of any swivel chaired
patriot who goes to Washington with
Haunting banners proclaiming the fact
that Imperial Ward county is impover-
ished and begging the aid of govern
ment that already has troubles of it's
own. We are glad that Minot had
a man in the person of A. A. Robin
son who went quietly to work and
outlined means whereby Ward coun-
ty may help itself. Ward county is
not bankrupt by any manner of means
and consequently is not asking favors
of the outside world. We are abun-
dainty able and ready to take care of
ourselves. Patriot Carol, however,
took different slant at the matter
and awaited himself Of another oppor-
tunity to exploit Carol. The coun-
try is chock full Of patriotic citizens
who are lying awake nights thinking
up some scheme whereby they may
get a little publicity for themselves
provided Uncle Sam pays the expense.

1t seems that some lawyer is always
willing to undertake some case that
will provoke enmity and entail ex-

believe as we stated months ago when
this matter first came up that time
will right whatever wrong may have
been done and that Hogy will in time
pay hundred cents on the dollar to
every creditor. We still think the
same way. The points involved are
