MERELY A SUGGESTION

St. Paul Dispatch: At recent MUIR
der trial at Valley City, N. D. the
court room was not large enough to
accommodate the spectators and so
great was the tanning that persons
secretly bought and sold chances on
seats. Which gives us a suggestion
as how to reduce the expenses Of our
courts.
When some sensational or salacious
trial is being held, one of the kind
which crowds the corridors of the
court house with curious throngs
which come early and stay all day,
why, not charge admission with dou-
pie price for ring-side seats? Any
good murder trial with good look
ing male or female defendant, a tri-
angular plot and plenty of lubricious
testimony should draw packed houses
at good prices.
1t is only fair to make those who
enjoy the morbid pay for the priv
lege and the gate-money thus derived
would go far toward relieving the tax
payer of the cost of conducting the
courts.

living on his sisters homestead north
west of town, was awakened about
midnight by the smell of smoke and
discovered that the stove had become:
overheated and the walls of the room
about to catch fire. He had no water
in the house and rushed to the door to
get some. Immediately on opening the
door the entire room famed up and he:
was unable to get back to get his
clothes. The nearest house was his,
brothers, about a quarter of a mile dis

ROGERS MAN SELLS HIS
BOWMAN QUARTER SECTION

Bowman Citizen: Chas. Pesek, of
Rogers, arrived in Rhame Friday and
closed deal the following day in
which he sold an unimproved quarter
section of land, seven miles south of
Rhame, to Ed Heide, whose other land
joins the piece which he purchased.
Mr.. Heide paid $4,000 for the quarter
and as it is good piece of land and
joins his other farm, he is we'll salts
fed. Mr.. Pesek, whose land Mr.. Heide
purchased bought the quarter two
years ago, paying $4,000 for it. Land
has been steadily advancing in value
since that time, and although he con-
sidered the piece worth more money,
he decided to sell rather than try to
farm it from a distance. Mr.. Pesek
is now farming $50 acres adjoining the
town of Rogers, Barnes county.

LOWER YOUR LIVING COST

II you are one Of those who are
worrying about the high cost of living
and most of us are-try this plan
for awhile. It has helped other fam.
lilies and it will help you If you give it
the trial it deserves.
Don't wait for that new coat, or
suit, or clothing, Or furniture and other
household necessities until you must
have them Immediately. Try the plan
of anticipating your wants. Next
October, perhaps, you will need new
overcoat. You can save half the cost
of that coat by buying it now. Apply
the plan to all other household neces-
sites which can be anticipated and
you will be surprised at the saving you
can effect in the course of a year.
Follow the advertisements in this
paper. Every week special bargains
are offered. These advertisements
can be the means of putting your liv>
ing cost down to the point where you
no longer need to worry"

BIG RECEPTION FOR
GUARDS Is ASSURED

BIG RECEPTION FOR
GUARDS Is ASSURED
When Valley City members of the
North Dakota national guards, at the
border, return about Feb. Is, they will
be greeted at the train by bands; hosts
of friends and delegations from the
Commercial club, all fraternal orders
and women's organizations. And their
former jobs, except in few regret
table instances, will be restored to
them.
Civic organizations have been plan
ming the welcome for the troops, but
plans have been tentative because of
Indebtedness in the date of their re-
turn. It was estimated they would be
home Jan. IS. Then the return of the
Minnesota regiment was announced.
This will occupy the barracks of Fort
Smelling and compel the North Dakota
boys to remain until all Minnesota
militiamen are sent home.
Mayor Moe, who learned at Bis
marck that the local men probably
would not be home until the middle of
February, said he had taken steps to
welcome the boys and to get their
jobs back for them.
There are only about 20 local boys
who were working here" he said, land
of these practically all their employers
have assured me their jobs will be
given back to them. am sorry to
say several of them will not get their
work back, but doubtless some provi-
sion will be made for them"
