BoWbe||s Must Be Kept
Clean To Be Beautiful

You often hear the remark that
beautiful homes make a beautiful
city. A person can spend almost
an unlimited amount of money in
beautifying his home and there
will still be room for improvement.
It isn't everyone that can afford to
spend a great deal of money In
beautifying his home this spring,
but there isn't person in Bowbells
who cannot devote at least one
hour out of each day in cleaning up
his place. During tie winter a lot
of trash has accumulated, and this
shows up like house aflre after
the snow is gone. You find a lot
of junk in almost every yard in
town that ought to be either piled
up and burned or hauled out to the
dump ground. There are broken
bottles, tin cans, manure, paper
and everything imaginable scatter
ed around that are OF absolutely no
use to anyone and still they retard
from the appearance of the home

business manager. respectively, of
Jim Jam Jems, published at Bis

Van Warner. who claims he hales
from Minneapolis, was arraigned in
justice court here yesterday after
noon charged with insulting the
American flag. Van Warner is an

$ll.02 Case Up to
Supreme Court

Bismarck, N. D., May 3.-Eleven
dollars and two cents Is the amount
involved In case which found it's
way to the supreme court this
morning from Wells county and
which probably will take up just as
much time as any other litigation
short of the board of regents case
that has come before that tribunal.
The Winston. Harper, Fisher Co.. in
Wells county procured a judgment
for about $22 against a defendant
residing in Kidder county. Sheriff
T. A. Price Of Kidder declined TO
serve the attachment issued because
a copy of the writ was not filed in
the Office of the district court in
Kidder. The Kidder county court
sustained the sheriff, and the plain
tiff company appealed. In the
meantime all but $11.02 of the orr
ginal judgment has been paid. ~

and the city. 1t wouldn't take
much work to clean all Of this up,
and If everyone in Bowbells would
do it the appearance OF the town
would be improved 100 per cent.
You need not go into any expense
in order to clean up the yard, but
you will have to do little work
and spend some time which you are
probably wasting in some other
way. The snow is all gone now,
and everything can be cleaned up.
Don't wait for the other fellow to
start-if he has no civic or home
pride, let him live in filth. We
know most Of you want Bowbells
to look just as pretty as any other
town in this section of the state,
and you know that it will have to
be cleaned up first before anything
else can be done. One man in town
can't do tit takes the co-opera-
tion of every person in the city:
Now let's go to it and show what
can be done by united effort.

$4,000 CARS ARE
TAGGED BY STATE

Bismarck. N. D., May 3.-At the
close Of business last evening the
automobile registration department
Of the secretary Of states office had
issued 10000 license tags, netting
the state $92,400, approximately
two-thirds Of which will go into
the state highway fund. It is esti-
mated that less than fifty per cent
of North Dakota's motor cars now
are equipped with 1917 tags, and a
thorough campaign is about to be
launched against the tagless auto.
Seventy-five dealers licenses, at SIS
per, have been issued to date, and
there are many more to be sent
out. Dealers apparently are in no
greater hurry than the individual
car-owner to comply with the new
statutes.

British Headquarters in

London, June 1O By the Asso-
ciated Press).-The manner in
which the British flying corps
dominated the air during the
battle of Messines ridge Oh
Thursday is one of the most
thrilling and remarkable stories
of the entire war.
Far back of the German lines
the British planes searched out
troops in every hamlet, town and
village. In several places they
saw them gathering or march
ing in the main streets, where
upon they flew down low at
times and opened fire which
scattered the gray clad soldiers in
all directions. All pilots report
that their accurate fire had a
most demoralizing effect Upon
the hostile troops. Conveys and
ammunition and supply columns
were attacked while on the
march and the disorganized men
left their teams and automobiles
on the roads while they sought
shelter in nearby bitches.
