Devils Lake Police MatrOn Guest of
MinOt Official

WlnOC OHlClal
Mrs. A. G. Geno of Devils Lake,
was a guest of Mrs. John Campbell,
Minot's police matron, several days
this week. Mrs. Geno is the police
matron as we'll as the inspector of
food and sanitation at the Lake, be-
ing admirably adapted for the work,
having had II years experience as
a teacher in the public schools of the
state prior to her acceptance of her
present work. Mrs. Geno expressed
her qualification at finding conditions
in Minot so encouraging. She re-
marked that many ideas picked up
from her Minot trip would be incor
porated in her work at the Lake and
put into practice at once. Mrs. Geno
is bright, lovable, capable woman
and we can readily see that her new
work at Devils Lake will be as sue
cessful as has been her work as a
teacher, for her sympathies are broad
and her intuitive mind readily grasps
the heart problems, joys and SORROWS
of those who come within the sphere
of her official duties. Her motherly
heart and wise counsel may be de-
pended upon to lead the hayward
back into the paths Of righteousness
and right living for which the offend
err will be truly grateful in the years
to come.

the result of sickness contracted while
with the army. The Red Cross is
going to do what it can for these dis
abled soldiers.
Every man who has been honorably
discharged is to receive $50. Those
who have not received their money
yet, should consult Mrs. Nelson. She
will also take up the matter of con-
verting their insurance policies into
smaller policies if the soldiers so de-
sire. The government has six con-
vertable policy proposition to offer.
Many of the soldiers are not able tc
carry the entire $4,000 policies. This
insurance is 1871 cheaper than the
regular old line insurance and no one
should let his policy drop.

Newspaper Man Buys Mysterious
Package. Containing Skeleton

dCh0kcs CONTAINING EoNcICVUt
A representative of the Independ-
ent went to J. B. Reed Transfer Co.'s
auction sale Saturday and when
mysterious looking box was offered
for sale, bid on the package, and
Auctioneer George State knocked the
article down to the deserving news
paper man. Upon removing the
burlap covering of the box he found
that the box was fastened with him
ges and paddock. The curiosity
of bystanders being aroused, Jim was
induced to break into the box where
he found to his horror and chagrin
that he had purchased skeleton
evidently the remains of prehistoric
man which the curator of some muse
UNI had shipped, via Minot, and for
got to prepay. the freight charges.
At first the authorities had suspicious
that some foul deed had been COM
mitted and the remains deposited in
the box but closer investigation dis
PEELED this idea.
Just at present the newspaper man
is at a loss to know what to do with
his property but it is said that he
is considering the idea of presenting
it to some museum. More fortunate,
perhaps was another who purchased a
closed box. This party discovered
that his purchase of a suit case was
likely to get him into trouble with
the authorities as it contained gal
lon jug of prime bourbon whiskey.
J. B. will hold another auction sale
soon and it's safe bet that all trunks
and suit cases will bring good prices
when the results Of this sale become
known.
