HARD TO PLEASE.

CAS- class, motorcycle owners are
probably the most particular the most
exacting, and the hardest to please, of
any class of people participating in
motor sports today. They want unin-
terrupted performance; they want
durability; they want maximum power,
comfortable riding qualities, big mile
age per gallon of oil and gas, small
upkeep expenses. They want to be
able to travel anywhere and every
where. And what does this mean?
1t means that a motorcycle must be the
very highest type of mechanical con :
struction; it means that use of the best
and highest priced materials, the EN- :
ployment of the most skilled labor in
the manufa cture of motorcycles. and
the application OF the closest standards.
motorcycle must be built like the
best watches aeroplanes and the very
best automobiles. This is the aim of
every motorcycle manufacturer today,
because that and that only will satisfy
the motorcycle public, or the prospec-
tive sportsman that concentrates

CONTRACT LET FOR NEW
TELEPHONE LINE AT WESLEY

Westby News: By, the time the
News is on the press this week the
contract will have been let for the
construction of the new telephone
line south and east of Westby.
One of the provisions of the con-
tract reads that the line must be com
pleted by July 4th. This means that
every farmer on the line, through to
Grenora, will be able to talk with
the Equity Exchange at st. Paul, or
with the Chamber of Commerce at
Minneapolis; that before the har-
vesting of the 1919 crop is on, a
farmer can telephone to Westby for
repairs and have same brought out
by the mail carrier, thus saving them
a trip to town and the loss of valu-
able time in the field or to the
threshing crew. 1t means an IN
crease to the valuation of their pros
perty that will pay them MANY times
over for their telephone investment.

late Mrs. Gustav Ole. The stone is
of Barre granite. It stands seven
feet from the base and weighs five
tons. A concrete foundation three
feet in the ground forms it's resting
place and on top of this is a sand
stone base about three feet square
and on top of this base is the beau
tiful stone. The stone measures
about 2x3 feet at the base and tapers
to slightly smaller dimension at
the top. The only inscription is the
name "Oie" which stands out in bold
relief on the west side of the stone.

BURGLARS SECURE VALU-
ABLE BOOTY AT WOLF POINT

Wolf Point Herald: The first jot
of store robbery in the history OF
the town was pulled off Sunday
night after the hour of midnight
when the Huxsol drug and jewelry
store was entered and diamonds,
watches and jewelry of an estimated
value of between $1,500 and $4,000
were stolen.
Entrance was gained by forcing a
window at the rear of the store.
Some of the tools used by the yeggs
were left scattred about. The back
door, through which the person or
persons doing the job made their es-
cape, was left wide open.
The job was comparatively easy
and did not require the skill of a
professional as the goods taken were
displayed in the cases and show win
dow, there not being room in the
store safe for the large stock. The
greater part of the value of the
"Swag" was in diamond rings and
high grade watches. But in their
haste the thieves grabbed number
OF low priced watches along with the
good ones.
The store safe contained upward
of $500 in cash and was not locked
but was undisturbed by the robbers.
Mr.. Ouxsol was in the store until
midnight Sunday night which makes
it certain that the theft was an early
morning affair.
So far there are no tangible clues
to the guilyt parties but a sharp
lookout is being kept by the officers
