Make Over Old Clothes.


Thrift is the watchword of the ma
ton this year, and one Of the most
practical ways in which this campaign
is being forwarded is work for the con-
servation of clothes being done by
home demonstration agents of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. Economical persons always have
made over material which had wear
left in 1t, but many who could hardly
afford 1t have bought new garments in
the past because Of their lack Of
knowledge of how to remodel old ones.
Home demonstration agents Of the
department of agriculture and the
state agricultural colleges do not in
tend that this shall be the excuse with
any in their districts who have old
material which is worth remodeling.
At Lincoln, Neb., the mayor donated
space In the city hall for the work In
remodeling clothes. This room is un-
der the supervision of the home dem
onstration agent and her assistants.
When their work takes them else
where, 1t is in charge of trained vOiun-
teers. Posters advertising this work
are being used extensively.
Long tables made from boards and
sawhorses are used to spread the gar
ments on. Good patterns and some at
tractive made-over garments to serve
as models are at hand, and ad-
vice is given on how to put to new
uses any garments that are brought In.
The work is proving both useful and
popular.

VICTORY BOND DRIVE

The Victory Loan drive in Minot
and Ward county is coming along in
a very satisfactory manner, although
both the city and county are short in
their allotments. 1t is very crafty
ing the way in which our people are
coming to the rescue and it is safe
to say that the entire quota for the
county, amounting to 100000 will he
raised. At present, the city Of Minct
is about Sz5,c0O short while .he ."ln-
tvs quota outside Of the city, is about
$4,000 short. The fairness have
been very busy in the fields ard this
has delayed the work in the country
some. Fargo il 100000 short and
Grand Forks is S1SO,00O short, so it
will be seen that Minot has made
much better record in comparison.
If you have not bought bonds, don't
wait for your committee to call.
Leave your subscription with your
bank.

TAKE CARE Or YOUR DOG

Police Commissioner Dan Bowkel
loves dogs, but he likes to see them
where they will be most appreciated
at home. Dan has been reading
up on some of the Minot ordinances
and he has learned that there are or
dinances which the people of Minot
never dreamed had been enacted,
What is more, he is going to use his
best efforts in seeing that those ordin-
ances, so far as his office is concern
ed, are enforced.
There is one ordinance which pro-
vides that all dogs must be licensed.
Then there is another that forbids
dogs running at large on the streets.
Just because dog happens to carry a
license tag is no reason why the afore-
said canine may appear unleashed on
the streets. So hereafter, we ex-
pect to see owners of our full blood
ed mongrels who think they must be
protected by their noble CANNES,
walking down Main street with rope
in one hand and Fido on the other
end of it.

THE LOYAL "SHINE"

The Independent last week took a
rap at the proprietor Of the Minot
Shoe Shining parlor, because he did
not invest in Fifth Victory Bond.
Friends of the young man have called
our attention to a large number of
things which he has done in patri-
otto way since he came to Minot,
and in justice to him, we want to tell
our readers that regardless of the
fact that he didn't see his way clear
to invest in the Fifth loan, he has
done exceedingly well in all of the
previous war drives, far more in fact
accordingly, than great many people
with ten times as much money as he
has.
He has bought $50 worth of bonds
from previous loans.
He has invested in 5000 worth of
war savings stamps.
He gave a dollar month to the
Red Cross all the time that organiza-
ton operated in Minot.
He gave the proceeds of his open
ing days business to the Red Cross.
He advanced returned soldiers $50

H. X. Vance, smut expert from the
state agricultural college, was in Mi
not Monday. He is making a trip
about the state, urging the farmers
to treat their grain to guard against
smut. It is advisable to treat wheat.
oats and barley with formaldehyde
every year. Occasionally one may
sow without so treating the seed, and
no bad results will come of the neg
lect, but the safe plan is to treat
it every year. Mr.. Vance says that
last year North Dakota farmers lost
81 100000 worth of oats and 500, 900
worth of barley, thru their ne glect in
treating it. This has been a late
spring and many farmers in their
hurry to get the seed in the ground,
are neglecting this important PROPOSE
zion. The government estimates that
every time farmer spends dollar
in treating his seed, he gets return

Private dances are always carefully
regulated and some public dances
have been conducted in manner that
calls for no criticism. There is one
dance hall that has been conducted
turnout the winter, without a license,
until few days ago, when atten-
ton to this was called to one of the
city commissioners. He Immediately
got busy and arranged that the police
matron should be on hand at every
dance. Girls of very tender ages had
been permitted to attend these dances
unattended and while no particular
harm may have come of It, yet if
there are parents who permit their
youngsters to 60 to dances unaccom-
panied, it is we'll that someone should
be on hand to see that no temptations
confront them.

There are a hundred families look
ing for homes in the city of Minot.
The population Of our city has been
growing very rapidly during the past
six months and we would have 500
more people here within a month if
homes could be prepared for them so
soon. Cost Of building is higher than
it was some years ago, but one may
not expect to see it reduced much
within the next two years. People
are willing to pay a very fair rate on
ones investment so why not build
and watch Minot grow?

The former Kaiser is to be tried by
an Allied council representing Amer
lea, England, France, Italy and Japan.
He is charged with thirty crimes and
it appears as though he ought to be
stuck for at least one of them. He
is charged with everything imagin-
able from rape to murder. The ac-
cused German officer will be tried
before military court. If Germany
accepts the peace terms, all German
records will be turned over to the
Allies, and perhaps we. will be able
to get much larger list of those who
were friendly to Germany during the
war, than we now have.
