One hunter who was pass shooting
close to Maple Bay told of seeing two
farmer boys build a blind of brush on
the ice near a small sheet Of open wa

creeping out on the thin ice they
shot over a hundred ducks in about
20 minutes. The ducks, tired from a
long fight, kept coming into the open
water only to meet a b~ombardment
from the hunters when they had
settled down..
Another hunter say he saw a farm
err so out on the ice n morning aft

ty or thirty ducks that had been
frozen in during the night.
While the flight was at its height
the ducks kept coming into the lakes
all night long. 1t was too dark to
shoot and a couple of hunters con-
ceived the idea of building two large
bonfires near the shore of N of the
lakes, and standing between the fires
shot ducks continuously until day
light. They shot so many that they
had to hire the farmers team to trans
port them to their homes.
These are all violations of the game

say that if there is any field opened in
the United States that has been open
ed by the seepages and showings of
oil, there must. be one here at Minot

why the country adjacent to Minot
should have oil and it should be devel-
oped at this time as the interest of the
public is drifting in this direction. To
the best of my judgment and in &C.

every reason to believe that Minot has

ton Of the people of Minot and the
public in general to develop this great

Statesmen ELIMINATE
. LONG WAIT FOR trains
Light Business Car Now Enables
Them to Make Quick Trips From
City to City at Reduced Cost.

To eliminate expensive selling meth
DDS, many wholesale houses have
equipped their sales forces with light
delivery cars, with the result that
their representatives have been able
to triple the number of towns visited
carrying their samples with them.
This growing practice bids fair to
alleviate to great extent the trou-
bles of the travelling salesman. Isoiat-
ed towns and once-a-day railway
trains have made many a salesman
throw up his hands in disgust and le-
sert his profession for fields less wear
isome and nerve-racking. Not only
did such railway facilities tend to re-
duce the ranks of the travelling sales
men, but they were responsible for an
increased selling cost of dry goods
shoes, groceries, hardware. hats and
similar staples. Using the railroads
the salesman was able to make but
one town day, where several hours
were sufficient to call on the trade,
The remaining hours were spent in en-
forced idleness, with the result that
weekly hotel bills and expense ac-
counties scared.
But the development of the motor
car, and particularly the light COM
mercial car, is rapidly doing away
with these old-fashioned methods Of
wholesale selling. An interesting
sample of the successful use of such a
car is that of B. A. Rives, a shoe
salesman in southeastern Alabama.
In August, 1918, Mr.. Rives bought
a Dodge Brothers business car and
abandoned the southern railroads as a
means Of covering his territory. Since
that day the car has been in continual
use, carrying the salesman. driver and
a bulky 700 lbs. of sampGs. To the
Dodge Brothers dealer from whom
the car was purchased, Mr.. Rives
wrote: II find that can make nearly
three times as many towns in week
as I formerly could by railroad and
the weekly expense is no greater. The
pulling qualities of your busiAess car
cannot be sexceled, and the upkeep
for the time that l have had it has
been too little to count. The pleasure
of not having to wait for trains would
overbalance the entire expense of the
car. Refer any of the boys on the
road to me if they have a heavy load
and want to go along without any
trouble"

Skinner Adjusted 10 Hail Losses al
Crosby.

Hail Adiuster Ed Skinner Of Saw
yer was in the city today on his return
from Crosby. where he spent two
weeks adjusting hail losses in that
vicinity. During the two weeks spent
at Crosby Mr.. Skinner adjusted 10
claims. The losses run all the way
from 10 per cent up to total loss in
some instances. A 10 per cent loss
gives the farmer Zoe per acre compen-
sation, 40 per cent loss $3.50. The
losses are computed upon the basis of
$500 per acre for total loss. The
bulk of the adjustments run under 40
per cent, according to Mr.. SINNERS
estimate of his work. The insurance
cannot cost in excess of So cents per
acre, while this years losses are esti-
mated at around IS per cent. Mr..
SINNERS work is all done under the
supervision of Hail Inspector G. E.
Van Horne, whose headquarters are in
this city. The department has adjust
ed some $500 claims since August 1
