NEWCOMER ENTERS
THE BUSINESS arena
Principal of Minot High School Forms
Partnership With c. H. Withers
in Auto and Tractor Business
Mrs. Newman Fills
Vacancy

Il. V. Newcomer, who has been
principal of the Minot High School
since the fall of 1918, has resigned
his position to go into business with
the C. H. Withers & Co. Mr.. New
conner has been a positive force for
student welfare while connected with
our schools and has spent his time
lavishly for the interests Of the stu
dents and the school. In an inter-
view this morning Mr.. Newcomer
stated that he meant to put forth as
much energy in pushing the Samson
line Of Trucks, Tractors and Automo-
biles as he ever did in pushing school
interests. C. H. Withers & Co. are
local dealers for the Samson line of
tractors, trucks, automobiles and COM
plete line of farm machinery, also dis
tributors and dealers for the Rock
Island farm machinery.
Mr.. Newcomer enters into the busi-
ness as partner and considering his
general ability and his very pleasing
personality, together with his hust-
ling qualities, there is no question
but what he will prove to be a valu-
able acquisition to the concern. Mr..
Withers is one of the best known men
in his line in the northwest and has al
ready built up large business but
on account of it's growth he was com
PEELED to secure assistance. The COM
pany have some Of the very best lines
manufactured and look forward to a
very prosperous year.
Mr.. Newcomers place in the school
has been taken by Mrs. Ward New
man, we'll known Minot educator,
who held this position previously with
marked success for number of years.

NERVES SNAP UNDER STRAIN
Lad,es' Tailor Wants to Be Sent Back
to Austria Where Machines
Are Idle.

Greenwich Conn Felix Boehimer,
an Austrian. resident of Greenwich,
Conn. formed himself into a parade
of one and marching into Greenwich's
police headquarters informed Chief
Talbot that unless he were placed in.
q cell forthwith he would go out and
smash windows.
Considerations Of public tranquility
as well as of the mounting price Of
glass moved the chief to comply, and
then after Boehimer had sunk into
slumber and come out of it again he
questioned him.
"That. said Boehimer, referring to
the sleep from which he had just
awakened, ''is the first | have had in
FIVE years. l am employed by
ladies' tailor here and my condition
bespeaks the present craze of woman
kind for clothes and then more

THIS NEST MAKES HENS LAY
Ego Drops, Then Bell Rings Up the
Owner-There Are Few
False Alarms.

ST. Lonis a bell rang in the
Kitchen Of the home of Robert w.
Maxton of this city, and was followed
by the cackling of a proud hen.
There's someone at the door," a
visitor suggested.
"Oh. no. replied Mr.. Maxton "One
Of my hens has just laid an egg"
Mr.. Maxton was tired of supporting
hens that would not lay, he explained,
so he installed trick nests" in his
hennery.
When hen enters a nest, a door
closes and imprisons the fowl until
released by the owner. In this way
Mr.. Maxton asccrtains what hens are
laying the eggs.
An electric alarm is connected to
the doors of the nests, and when a
hen seeks exit by pressing against
one of the doors, the bell in the
kitchen rings.
The plan has worked successfully
for several months, Mr.. Maxton said,
and there have been no false alarms.

A special delegation of Filipinos, Of
ficially representing the Filipino peo
pie, attended the Republican and Dem.
ocratic National conventions, seeking
an Endorsement of the Filipino desire
for independence in the two platforms.
Their arguments, briefly stated, were
as follows:
First.-That the American Declara.
tion of Independence declares that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent Of the governed;
Second.-That the American Con-
gress, in the Jones law, solemnly prom
ised the Filipinos independence upon
the establishment of a stable govern
ment, and that their claim that the
said stable government is now in ex-
istence in the islands has been Official
ly confirmed by Americas own repre-
sentatives there; and
Third-That America went before
the world in the recent war as the
avowed champion of "self determina-
tion," American soldiers having been
told it was one of the things they
were fighting and dying for.
