Governor Cox, democratic candidate
for the presidency, spoke for eight
minutes to the Glasgow citizenship
from the rear of his private coach last
Wednesday morning.
He was accompanied by Gov. Sam
V. Stewart, and other state notables,
and his private suite and Sec
retaries, all of which reminds US that
it might take s15,OOO,OOO campaign
fund to carry it thru and pay the
freight
Governor Cox was in happy frame
of mind and he had a sauve, sooth-
ing reassuring voice, and he didn't
talk like brewer for he said "God
bless you" in a way that would do
credit to the cloth. He referred to
Governor Harding as "the other chap"
and gave the impression that the cleo
ton was over and gave us an invita-
tion to come to Washington after
March 4th 1921, and take dinner with
him. Some of US are thinking of 60
| ing-to Ohio after March 4th, 1921,
/ to dine with him.
Governor Cox said 81 do not in
vite you to come to my front porch
but I have come to yours" 81 am not
owned by any group of men,. He de-
clared with much warmth that his ad-
ministration would be free from dom
ination. All who heard the speech felt
that it was so full of glittering gener-
Titles that no votes were made for
the party of high prices and hard times
Cox and Cocktails
Cox said he did not wish to say all
the things but was willing to get the
peoples view by letting them ask ques-
tions that came to their minds. We
would like to have asked him "Gov-
ernor Cox, how do you stand on Cock
tails ?" "Cox and Cocktails" is
good slogan and he is lodging this

| citizens are waiting to see how long
he will continue to hedge on the mat
ter of federal prohibition.
Cox and Woman Suffrage
Governor Cox made a bid for the
Woman's vote in very coy, cunning,
elusive flattery to the ladies of the
gathering. He did not tell them that
80 Republican states had ratified the
amendment and Democratic states
had given their approval and demo-
cratic have rejected the amendment
and no Republican state has voted
against the measure.
Bid to Roosevelt Lovers
"Cox and Roosevelt" was well
played and subtle appeal to those
present who loved Theodore Roosevelt
and made the great "Teddy" to stand
forth in Franklin D. Roosevelt. Such
appeals fell flat to the wide awake Re-
publicans of Montana.

PARK SMITH KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Former Glasgow Boy Meets Untimely
Death in Automobile Accident
Near Helena

Park Smith, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry C. Smith, 812 Madison avenue,
was instantly killed in an automobile
accident at o'clock yesterday after
noon opposite the Jack Burke ranch
four miles north of Wolf Creek. His
companion, Mrs. Gertrude Pascal,
owner of the car, suffered a broken
collarbone and narrowly escaped death

Meant to Avert a Collision
In an effort to avert a collision with
another car on narrow bridge over
an irrigation ditch, young Smith
turned into the ditch which was deeper
than he anticipated and bound on
either side by concrete irrigation gates
Park Smith served his country in
the army durng the world war; served
this county as senator in the last ses.
sion of the state legislature, and was
recently nominated by the republicans
of Lewis and Clark county for county
attorney.
1t was to put up his campaign cards
along the road between Helena ane
Gilman that Park Smith left Helena
shortly after 2 o'clock Wednesday af
ternoon, driving a Studebaker light
six automobile recently purchased by
Mrs. Pascal, proprietor of the Pasca
Tea rooms.
Confusion at Narrow Bridge
Opposite the Burke ranch, Smith
came up over raise in the road at {
good rate of speed. He saw instantly
the narrow bridge, not wide enough
for two cars to pass safely. Coming
from the opposite direction was ligh

laying in their winters supply Of fuel
early, for we really have good reasons
to believe that there will be serious
shortage Of fuel of all kinds next
winter, including our native Ignite,
which lies in such plentiful quantities
atthe very gates of our city. We,can-
not depend much on eastern coal. Only
about half of the eastern mines are
being worked at all, and then only Is
or 30, per cent of the time. Car short
age and labor trouble have reduced the
supply of eastern coal fully one-half.
Hard coal will be high and scarce. It
is worth $18 ton at the car in Minot
today. If one can lay in his supply Of
hard coal during July or August, he is
fortunate indeed. This condition will
call for double the demand for Ignite
coal Ignite coal now costs $3.50 per
ton at the mine, or so cents a ton
higher than year ag0I The chances
are there will be another increase of
so cents ton at the mine soon and it
may go even higher. Freight rates
will be increased Sept. l. Everything
points to higher priced Ignite coal.
Those who have bins in easements,
should stock up with Ignite at once.
Ignite coal will keep very well in
basement, where the air is excluded.
1t burns even better when it has had
a chance to dry out thoroly.

Grasshoppers have developed over
Ward county in alarming numbers and
unless the ravages of these pests can
be checked a lot of the crop is going
to be destroyed.
The north half of the county seems
to be hit the hardest, but it is safe to
say that the hoppers will hatch out in
Just as large numbers in the East and
Southern sections as the weather gets
warmer. The hoppers have begun to
move into the fields and in a number
of cases along the roadside and pas
lures grain has been destroyed. In
some townships there is great
amount of land which is not under cul-
tivation this year owing to the short
age of seed, and the late spring. On
this land hoppers are Matching in
great numbers and destroying the ad-
Joining fields. This land should be
plowed as soon as possible, as blowing
will cover some of the hoppers and
destroy the eggs which are not hatch
ed.
The county is making every effort
to supply poison bait and it is the duty
of every farmer and every resident Of
Ward county to cooperate in the ex-
termination of these pests that now
threaten to destroy large percentage
Of the crop.

HARDING NOMINATED.

United States Senator Harding of
Ohio is the republican nominee for
President with Governor Coolridge of
Massachusetts as his running mate.
After Lowden, Wood and johnson
forces realized that the contest had
resulted in a deadlock, Lowden at
tempted to win the support of the
Wood candidates, but seeing there was
no hope of compromise, released his
delegates and threw his support to
Harding. The nominee is considered
a conservative on the Mckinley order
and a straight American all the way
through. He is, not considered a
master mind" and if elected is ex-
pected to select strong cabinet.
Harding advocates looking after
Americas interests first, but would be
friendly with the whole world and he
would reduce the high cost of living
by cutting out needless expenditures
and speeding up on production.
North Dakota's ten delegates which
at first stood eight for Johnson and
two for Wood, finally went over to the
Harding forces. There will be no split
in the republican party and from all
indications, Harding of Ohio will be
the next President of the United
States. The democrats are expected
to nominate VIM. G. McAdoo, the
presidents son-in-law.

Never has Minot felt the need of a
good band so much as this week, with
all of the conventions that are~in SEES
sion. The High School band has been
a great help during the past year, but
during the summer months cannot be
held together. This city can afford a
good band and the businessmen are
willing to contribute freely towards
the right kind Of an organization. We
have manyNcapable musicians here but
it takes money to secure capable
leader who is willing to devote his
time to the work. The Independent
suggests that the Rotary Club or the
Association of Commerce consider this
matter at once.

The rains this year remind us Of old
times. Last week, the total rainfall
as reported by the weather bureau in
Minot was 1.02, inches. Sunday start
ed out in the good old fashioned way
with q good shower in the evening,
bringing relief after the hottest day
Of the summer. The vegetation is max
ing remarkable growth, crops look
splendid and there is. no chance Of
cheating us out of a good fair crop,
which from present Indications bor-
ders on the bumper. We are certain
to get enough hay and other feed for
our stock, and after all this is the big
thing for this section of North Da-
kota. Wheat, barring damage from
grasshoppers, bids fair to make fine
crop. y

FIGHTING GRAssHOPPERs.

County Agent N. D. German and
the board of commissioners OF Ward
county are to be congratulated on
their farsightedness and good business
Judgment in laying in supply OF arse
mic. molasses and bran last winter
when the price was right, with which
TO fight the grasshoppers. We had
these pests with us last year and we
were told by experts that we might ex-
meet them to do as much damage or
more this year, than they did last.
Still we didn't pay much attention to
this warning. Some OF the farmers
sowed rye contrary to good ADVICE:
Others seeded wheat on disced Land
and no particular pains were taken to
burn the grass along the roadsldes,
the breeding ground for the pests. The
farmers were late with their work and
too busy to do much aside from their
ordinary work, and it was hoped that
nature by some process might AID IN
graduating the pests. But with the
warm days, the grasshoppers appear
\ ed in large numbers in localities. The
whole state is more or less affected
and a concerted campaign is to be
made everywhere. Renville county,
where county agent was considered
useless luxury, has gotten good and
busy and will employ an agent and
fight the hoppers right. Other coun-
ties are falling into line Ward coun-.
ty is we'll organized. The county has
been divided into six districts with a
paid supervisor in charge of each dis
trict. The arsenic and other >ingred
tents are being hauled to the various
mixing stations in the army trucks the
county received last week. The county
bought 10000 pounds of arsenic last
winter and will probably have enough
of the poison, but is apt to run short
on bran. County Agent German is
contemplating a trip to Minneapolis
and will not return without additional
bran.
Peter Vandenoever, commissioner
from the First district, has joined the
Overall Brigade and is out every day
with the trucks, hauling the ingredi-
ents to the twelve or fifteen mixing
stations, seeing that the poison is
properly mixed. One not used to this
work is apt to get the poison on his
hands, then in his eyes, where ser
ious trouble may be expected. Van
denoever, who is a candidate for re-
election, instead of remaining at home,
buttonholing the voters, is out doing
all he can to save the Ward county
crops, but his friends at home will
not forget him on election day. The
other county commissioners are work
ing in similar manner. Mixing sta
tions have been installed at the Mar
garet township hall, Donnybrook,
Kenmare, Carpio, Foxholm, Burling-
ton, Minot (Scofeld Barn), Des Laos,
Berthold, Douglas, Ryder, and some
other stations will be installed.
Just how much damage the grass
hoppers would do if let alone, cannot
be told. 1t is certain that with prompt
work and concerted action, a great
deal Of damage can be avoided. Get
ting the pests while they are small
helps great deal. Farmers are not
going to stand idly by and let the
grasshoppers take their crops without
putting up good fight. Wen bet
on the farmers.

rested" by mob after the alleged at
tack on the girl and after "trial''
three of them were turned loose. The
three negroes lynched were strung up
quietly, one after the other, and their
bodies were not mutilated. The north
ern lynchers thus showed q different
spirit from the frenzied southern mobs
who usually bring their artillery into
action and frequently make a funeral
pyre of the dead bodies. The action
was none the less cowardly and the
Duluth police are censured for failing
to shoot into the mob which refused
to dispense when orders were given.
The state of Minnesota has begun an
investigation and threatens to punish
those participating in the lynching.
