THOMSON GUARD QUITS
AFTER ONLY TWO ISSUES

Atlanta, Sept z1-The Thomson
Guard, successor to the suppressed
Jeffersonian, announces its suspension
after the issue which reached Atlanta
today. A day or two ago an order
was issued by the Postoffice Depart
ment similar to that in the early
stages of the .Jeffersonian case, to ap-
ply to the Guard.
In the current issue of the new Wat
son paper appears an announcement
to the stockholders and subscribers Of
the Jeffersonian Publishing company,
signed by ]. D. Watson, in which he
says:
IF a single word, sentence or para
graph written by Mr.. Watson for the
Thomson Guard and published by it
violated any law whatever, he is not
aware of it,
On the contrary, he was, in good
faith, endeavoring to comply with the
law, and to conform to the rulings OF
the court, as he understood them
Views Don't Coincide.
R>seems, however, that his views
cannot be made to coincide with those
OF the Administration, and he has
been notified, in effect, that the Thorn
soa Gpard will be ruled out OF the
mails on September "a, just as The
JetHersOnian was ruled out.
He, therefore, submits TO the in
evttAAle.
This must necessarily be the last
issNe OF the Guard, unless the govern
meat decides otherwise"

pears the following letter addressed

PRICES ON COPPER

Washington, Sept. s0.-Copper
prices were fixed today at e IL cents

vailing market, Observation-Disclosures
the Government and leading coapef
producers effective for four months.
Sales to the Government, the public
and the Allies will be at this price {.
o. b. New York, and producers agreed
not to reduce wages now paid in the
industry They also pledged them
selves to maintain maximum product
ion and to prevent copper from fall
ing into the hands of tn SPECTATORS
Agreement is Voluntary
Although the price is fixed under
voluntary agreement between produ-
GERS and the Governments war indus
tries board, with the Presidents ap-
prevail, it was announced officially that
under the executives war power 'fhe
proper departments Of the govern
nent will be asked to take over the
mines and plants of any producers
who fail to conform to the agree
ment.
Recent government purchases of
copper have been made under agree
ment to pay the price to be determine
ed by the war industries board
Investigation Extensive
The price agreed upon today was
set after extensive investigation Of
production costs by the Federal Trade
Commission. The commissions re-
port indicated that copper could be
sold probably at much lower price
than % IL cents, but in reaching its
decision the war industries board
headed BY Frank A. Scott. took into
consideration that the price should
not be pared down to the point where
production would be discouraged or
wages reduced

CIDER SOLD IN ATLANTA
HAS A STRONG KICK

Atlanta. Ga, September 21.-Cer-
tain soft drink stands in Atlanta are
selling certain brand of apple cider
and blackberry wine that would make
rabbit spit in bull dogs face if he
drank enough of it, according to the
testimony Of members of the blind
tiger squad Of the Atlanta police de-
partment, which has recently con-
Quoted a roundup Of the drink
stands in question, arresting the pro-
prictors and conducting their bever-
ages TO the police station via abe
black maria route.
Atlanta has a city ordinance prohib-
iting the sale of any drink for bev-
eTagc purposes containing more than
one-half Of one per cent alcohol 1t
IS under this ordinance that the soft
drink dealers will be prosecuted, but
the blind tiger squad expect to prose
cute them also in the state court under
the provisions Of the state prohibition
law
1t is claimed that perfectly harmless
looking cider and blackberry wine has
gotten abroad in the community
which is not as harmless as it looks,
but which contains a very consider
able per centage of alcohol.

Tidings from the West

John L. Ryan, one of the old time
attaches of the Minot Commercial
club, returned from Lewistown, Mont,
where he has been nursing in hos
pital for the past year. He will spend
the summer on his farm in Mckenzie
county. Mr.. Ryan brought back
some interesting news concerning
former Minot citizens now located in
the west. Alfred Blaisdell, former
Minot attorney, and four years Secre-
tary of State of North Dakota, has
given up his lucrative law practice
at Lewistown and has enlisted in the
Officers Training Camp at San Fran
cisco. Geo. Burke, former Minot al
derman, is in the real estate business
at Lewistown, making money. George
had "wad" of money when he left
Minot, but some Seattle real estate
men were too shrewd for him and he
arrived in LeWistown almost penniless.
George could make fortune on a
desert island and he has regained
what he lost and then some and is
now building mansion in Lewistown.
DR.. Dunn, formerly of Stanley has
built up fine practice in Lewistown.
S. J. Rognlie, former Minot piano
dealer, has the best music house in
that city. John visited in Great Falls,
Mont, enroute here and met Roscoe
Herman and wife. Roscoe is man
aging big moving picture house.

M|N0T'S SPLENDID
RESIDENTIAL SECTION
Western Bankers Investment Co. Of
fer For Sale Choice Wooded Lots
In Elbow Park Manor

Minot is one Of the most picturesque
cities in the west and some Of the
very finest building sites in the entire
state are to be found in the beautiful
wooded tracts along the Mouse river
which winds it's way lazily through
the valley.
The Western Bankers Investment
Company recently acquired 43-acrs
tract in this city which is beau
tifully wooded with natural elm, ash
and oak timber, trees that could not
be grown in life time. This tract
has been plated and is known as
Elbow Park Manor. A few of the
lots have been sold but the Western
Bankers Investment Co. which owns
the tract, has not pushed the sale of
lots, waiting until after the driveways
were completed, the brush cleared
away and everything put into ship
shape.
A representative of the Independent
took drive through the beautiful ad-
dition the other evening and was sur
prised at the remarkable beauty of the
place. 1t is simply one immense park
and there is no finer residential Sec
ton of the entire city. Elbow Park
Manor is located just east Of the beau
tiful Riverside Park and a driveway,
known as Forest Drive joins the two
places. This driveway has been
graded and graveled by the City of
Minot under the provision of a law
enacted by the Fifteenth Legislative
Assembly. The Ninot Park Board
will maintain the beautiful drive,
which is more than a mile long, and
will park the land between the pretty
drive and the river.
The Western Bankers Investment
Co. has spent thousands OF dollars in
getting the addition into shape.
Streets have been graded and graveled
throughout the addition. A play
ground and tennis courts have been
provided by the Minot Park Board.
The company has planned to make
this an ideal residential section Of
the city. According to the restric-
tions made in the sale of lots, no
residence can cost less than $4,000 and
neither can it be built closer than 25
feet to the front line of the lot. Sew,
eral have already invested in lot or
two, realizing that within short time
the average value OF these lots will be
in the neighborhood of $1,000. Mr..
Coughlin has erected a beautiful $4,000
modern residence near one of the en-
frances to the Manor These lots will
not go a-begging and the Independent
predicts that practically all of them
will be sold during the sale which is
advertised to take place during the
week beginning June % and ending
June 30. To those who desire to ac-
quire an ideal place for beautiful
home at a moderate price, within IL
blocks Of the center of the city, it will
pay them to investigate this PROPOSE
tion.
Details of the sale, together with a
map Of the tract are to be found in
this issue. Autos are available at the
offices of the Western Bankers In
vestment Co. which is connected with
the First international Bank.

I was shipped to Fort Riley from
Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, last Tuesday.
There were 125 of us on the train.

way so far fine and am not bit
sorry | enlisted when / did. The first
thing when got to Jefferson Barracks
was to turn in my papers, then we
took a bath, got any barber work done
that was necessary, free of charge.
But the BARRIERS are not very particu-
lar unless you slip them little tip,
then they will give you pretty good
job.
The next day we were taken to the
examination barracks where he had to
take off everything we had on and got
examined. They are very particular
about ones eyes, ears, heart and feet,
otherwise the examination is not hard.
From there, we were taken to another
barracks and measured for clothes and
shoes. It takes from two to three
days before clothes are issued. Every
thing here is done by clock work. AS
soon as you get your clothes, the first
thing you have to do in the line Of
work is to work in the mess hall "a
hours. Everyone has dread Of that
but it isn't hard. The mess hall is
one Of the largest buildings at the
fort. They were able to. feed over
5000 men at one time when l was
there and they were building an adj
dition half as large again, which is
probably ready now. In about one

in the hospital several days with mine.
We were also inoculated in the right
arm for typhoid and we got three
shots of that. Some are so scared
that they faint away before they get
it, just watching others and waiting
for their turn and it does not hurt any
more than if some one stuck you in
the arm with an ordinary needle.
But the arm swells up and gets a
little stiff for short time.
Jefferson Barracks is a very beauti-
full place. The government cemetery
consists Of several acres of land which
is left just as nature left it, except
for cutting the grass. There are
nearly $4,000 graves there. Sergeant
Morrison took me around and showed
me the graves Of noted men who died
over 100 years ago. The Mississippi
river flows right past the fort and

Farmers

Minot business men, mem bers Of the
Association of Commerce, have taken
the initial steps towards the organiza-
tion of company to operate large
potato warehouse in this city. To
this end, an effort is now being made
to ascertain the number of acres
