A young St. Paul lady, visiting
friends at Glenburn, donned mems
clothing, sheared her hair, and start
ed out to see the world. Her dis
guise was rather poor and she got no
farther than Lansford when she was
apprehended and again put in the
hands Of her friends. !
C. E. Danielson, formerly the we'll
known traveller in this section of the
state, has taken over The Lexington
Hotel at Minot and after spending
over $4,000 for improvements will open
this hostelry under the name of The
Grand Hotel on Saturday September
1. The travelling public will find The
Grand a real "home on the road"
Omemee people deny emphatically
the truth of the statement made by
Smith Stimmel in this city that he
was denied the privilege of speaking
in that town in the interests Of a
Home Guard. It appears that two
or three citizens of Omemee ap-
preached on the subject and express
ed themselves as not interested.
This was taken as an official turn
down by the visitors and no efforts
were made to hold a meeting.
Automobiles conveying Bottineau
boosters, visited every town in the
county yesterday, advertising the big
Loyalty Day Celebration to be held
at the Bottineau county fair grounds
next Tuesday. Literature advertising
the event was distributed and speak
ers accompanied each party and gave
short talks in the different towns vi
sited. The plan is meeting with
hearty response from every section of
the county and there is every proba-
bility that Tuesday will see the larg-
est gathering in the history Of .Botti-
neau county. .
As a war conservation measure,
New York women who assume the
leadership in styles have sent out
feelers to ascertain how the public
would take it if women's skirts were
made even scantier than they are at
present time. AS a "war saving"
proposition they suggest that only
four and a half yards Of material be
used in a women's skirt. But when
the suggestion isn't coupled with any
information as to how material is to
be distributed-as to longitude and
latitude-it makes it difficult to
either favor or disapprove.-Omemee
Herald.
The editor and family enjoyed a
fine three days outing up in the beau
tiful country around Lake Metigoshe,
the latter part Of the week, camping
at Pelican Lake, where there is
some bass fishing, although it is moi
so good this year a. it has been fol
the past two or three years. This
was the second visit of the writer to
this beautiful region, and the more We
see of it the better we like it. The
Bottineau county people have just
completed an excellent highway ur
into the mountains, which is a big
Improvement over the old trail, anc
we are sure that every driver ove1
this road cannot help but entertain
the most kindly feelings for those wht
are responsible for the wonderful i'm.
