FTHB Runaway Camel moved along at

TNHE Runaway Camel moved along at
L good pace with his heavy load
although not so fast as the horses of
the Bedouins. Fortunately the Bedouins
were far away and apparently they did
not see Peggy Billy and Smiling
Teacher for they did not come In pur-
suit
AS the Runaway Camel drew nearer
to the oasis. It looked more than ever
like green, island set down in the sea
OF sand. And 1t grew more and more
inviting, its shady palm trees seeming
to offer haven of refuge to travellers
blistered by the sun and dazzled by the
glare Of tho sand. To Peggy and Billy
the promise Of cool drink from the
springs It contained was most alluring.
MY, but I'm thirsty" exclaimed
Billy. II haven't had a drink in three
hours"
Three hours, huhr' grunted the
Runaway Camel. II haven't had a drink
In three days"
II should think you'd perish from
thirst" cried Peggy.
When drink, drink enough to last
me. That's the only sensible thing to
do grunted the camel.
Riding on camel back wasn't near SO
much fun as Peggy thought it would be.
The camel had an odd, lurching move
ment that was like boat jumping
around In a heavy sea. She was glad
when the oasis was reached.
There the Runaway Camel knelt to
let them of and they got off much
faster than they intended, for. they
pitched over the cameIs head down upon
the soft sand. Smiling Teacher, Peggy

grunted the camel. Billy didn't wait to
answer, as he was in a hurry to get a
drink at the well in the oasis Smiling
Teacher, before following him, turned
to take look at the distant Bedouins.

murmured. wouldn't it be romantic
IL the handsomest young sheik among
them should fall in love with me-"
Only too soon Smiling Teacher was
to be sorry for that remark.

ing where he had dumped them.

Several times while travelling thru
France and Germany ! was inspired to
exclaim: i really must write to the
Dodge company when l get home and
tell them what | think of their car
Now that / am home that intention
has not weakened. / have spent the
whole of this winter in France and
Germany amid the mud and rain and
shell-torn roads of the battlefront,
and later over the steep mountains
and thru the narrow gorges between
Luxembourg and the Rhine.
Gen. Pershing gave me for my use
while I served the A. E. F., Dodge
car. With my little company of en-
tertainers ! was enabled to go to
many Of the boys in isolated spots
who had no transportation to send for
me and would have gone without en-
tertainments had not had my car.
We travelled hundreds of miles, some
times over almost impossible. roads.
We scaled mountains, where at every
minute we had reason to fear that our
little car might balk at further pres
sure. But we never had a minutes
trouble. | can say most emphatically
that the Dodge gave splendid service
and held out where we found other
cars disabled by the roadside.
when my service with the army
was through and l had to return the
car to them felt as if I was parting
with personal friend and wished that
it could run me down to Brest and be
taken aboard the transport and sail
for home with me-
"From what I have heard from
many sources, l believe that others
have had Just as successful expert
ence with the Dodge at the front as
we have had"
The cars that served in the army
were of standard specifications, pre-
cisely like the Dodge Brothers motor
cars that are being built day after
day for domestic and foreign markets.

Former MinOt Young Man is With
Mercantile State Bank of the AM

The Independent received the fol-
lowing interesting letter from Chas.
Olson, son Of Olaf A. Olson, concern
ing his new work in South America:
New York, June IL, 1919.
accordance with my promise to
write to you when l knew something
about where was going to be located

letter before leaving the U. S. A.
When l came to New York rather
expected to eventually 60 to South
America but didn't know until few
days ago to which country would be
asked to go, but it has been decided
that should go to Lima, Peru, and
from what l can learn about the land
of the 1ncas l am very pleased that
! will have an opportunity to go there.
] leave via the Kingston-Jamaica and
the Panama Canal June II.
AS you see by the above letter head
the Mercantile Bank of the Americas
has variety of places to which to
send it's men and as consequence it
has been more or less of a gamble to
plan on where you were going until
you are on the way. The Bank is
only getting it's stride and plans on
opening a great number of new
branches. It's function is to assist in
foreign trade and it has associated
with it two large trading corporations,
the Mercantile Overseas Corporation
and the China and Japan Trading
Company as well as the Asia Banking
Company, doing "our" business in the
Orient.
The principal limitations for expan-
sion now is the lack Of men qualified
to do the work and there are always a
number of men here at the main bank
familiarizing themselves with the
work in preparation to going out.
I haven't forgotten the enjoyable
visit I had in Minot and particularly
J the courtesies extended to me by the
Rotary Club and want you to kindly
express my thanks to them.
Please see that the independent
reaches me at Lima, Peru. Bill me
for the additional amount due to for
eign postage.
Hoping to hear from you, I remain,
