little children to mourn the death of
loving father and worthy gentleman.
The remains were brot to Minot for

A. A. ROBINSON SELLS HIS
MINOT GRAIN BUSINESS
Veteran Grain Dealer Sells Grain and
Seed Business to Simmons Co. of
MOOrhead-Almy Manager.

The A. A. Robinson Elevator Co.
have sold their elevator in this city
to the D. D. Simmons Seed Co., Of
Moorhead, MINI. =.
The Simmons peoble are large seed
dealers and are making plans on en-
larging their seed warehouse in this
city, preparing to 60 after the whole
sale seed business on an important
scale. This concern expects to do its
share in making Minot the largest
seed distributing point in the North
west.
The company will take charge of
the Minot house on August 1 and
they have retained Guy E. Almy as
their local manager. Mr.. Almy has
had a number of years experience in
the grain and seed business. He
has been carefully trained in the grain
and seed end of the game, under the
watchful eye of Mr.. Robinson, one
Of the most capable grain men in the
west. Mr.. Almy will make the Sim
mons people a mighty valuable man.
A. A. Robinson has been in the
grain business in Minoot for the past
eighteen years and in all he has been
engaged in the grain business for the
past forty years. His many friends
will be pleased to learn that he has
no intention of leaving this city, for
he has many other interests here to
which he will devote his time. Bert
says he would rather live in Minot
than in any other point he has ever
seen. He has been very successful.
His business has grown steadily, in
fact the business during the past year
has been the largest in the history
of the concern. He feels like let
ting up a trifle however, and will
devote his time to his other interests.
Mr.. Robinson still retains'his interests
in the Surrey Farmers Grain Asso-
citation, and the Logan Farmers Ele-
vator Co. He is also farming seven
quarters of land in this vicinity and
this will keep him out of mischief.
The Simmons people are interested
in the seed business at Moorhead, Car
rington and Bismarck.

BERTHOLD LAD DROWNs.

Berthold, N. D., June 17.-Raymond
Drules, the son of Frank Drules,
farmer living three miles from Ber-
thold, was drowned in a creek near
that, place late yesterday. The body
was discovered by brakeman on the
Great orthern railroad and the offic-
ials were notified. 1t is thought that
when found, ,>the body had been in the
water about an hour. The drowning
probably was due to an accident when
the boy slipped into the water. 1t
was known that he had planned on go
ing swimming and had gone down to
the creek for that purpose about noon
yesterday. The remains will be in
tered at the Berthold cemetery.

Illinois Association will hold big
joint picnic in Riverside Park in, this
city Wednesday, June %.
All former Hoosiers and Suckers are
cordially invited to gather at the park
on that day, with we'll filled lunch
baskets for an old fashioned picnic.
A crowd of several hundred are GER
tain to be in attendance.
In former years, these Associations
have always held separate picnics,
but in some way or another, two re-
ports were circulated-one that the
HO0sier ladies are the better cooks and
the other that the Illinois women have
it all over their Indiana friends when
it comes to getting up . picnic lunch,
so it was decided to hold q joint pic.
mic, where fried chicken, etc., will
be compared and this much mooted
question will be- settled once 'and for
all. Minot newspaper men are to
be the judges.
G. w. Lingofet is president of the
Indiana Association and Mrs. Fred
Brey, secretary.
Mr.. Smith Of Surrey, the president
Of the Illinois Association has moved
to Devils Lake and the Vice Presi-
dent, VIM. Hecker, passed away. The
affairs of the Illinois Association are
left in the hands of the executive COM
mittee headed by Elder D. T. Dier-
dor6 of Surrey.
A joint committee will meet in Mi
not this week, to arrange good pro-
gram.
Riverside Park appears at its best
just now, with the flowers in bloom
and the shrubbery loaded with. bios
SONS. The members of the associa-
tions will undoubtedly be interested
in the Park Zoo, the very finest in
the west. Now, don't wait for q
special invitation, you Hoosiers and
Suckers. You know, you were never
very particular who you associated
with 80 it won't hurt you to attend
this joint celebration and pay tri-
butte to the memory of Abe Lincoln,
James Whitcomb Riley, and other
great men those two states produced.

ticn of Minot Shriners gathered at

Shrine band from Atlanta gave de-
lightful concert and many of the visit
crs got off the train and danced on
the station platform. They sang theft
Georgia song, to band accompaniment,
the words being:
Georgia, Georgia, Everybody knows,
Georgia, Georgia, where the water
melon grows;
Red and juicy, on the vine,
Georgia, you >are mine."
The visitors were presented with
Minot picture souvenirs by the Minot
Shrine Club. Many Of them were

milk truck and were hauled about
town, and spying sack Of choice
radishes that Bill had pulled that

BRYAN WILL SPEAK IN
MINOT MONDAY. JUNE Fl

Hon. William Jennings Bryan will
deliver an address, "Worth of Man"
at the High School Auditorium in Mi
not Monday June 81, at 1890 a. m.
under the auspices of the Glass Of
1920. MiRot State Normal School. An
admission of Is and so cents will be
CHARGED.
The great Commoner will undoubt-
edly, be. greeted by n large audience.
The auditorium ought to be filed.
Bryan is on his way west to the
San Francisco democratic national
convention as delegate. He<attend-
ed the republican national convention
at Chicago last week, as reporter for
newspaper syndicate and he will
undoubtedly. have something of inter-
est to say about the Chicago conven-
ton in his address Monday for he will
devote several minutes to discussing
national politics in addition to his
regular lecture.
Bryan has been a national figure
for many years and he was democratic
candidate for president three times. It
is possible that his name will be pre-
sented at the San Francisco conven.
tion. Whether one has always agreed
with his politics has made little differ
ence in his popularity with the peo-;
pie, for there is no better loved Amer
lean today than Mr.. Bryan.
He will be the guest of the Minot
Rotary Club while in the city and
will take luncheon with them at the
Association of Commerce rooms at IL
O'Clock that day, making few re-
marks before that Organization. Mr..
Bryan was made an honorary member
of the Minot Rotary Club on pre-
vious visit to our city, being one of
the three honorary members Of the
club.

Noted Boy Orator Spoke Before Minot
y Rotary

John Alexander, the noted young
peoples worker, who came here to at
tend the North Dakota State Sunday
school convention, was the guest of
the Minot Rotary Club Monday. Each
Rotarian had as his guest some Minot
young man and fine address was
given by Mr.. Alexander. He pointed
out that if every boy had the proper
environments while growing up, there
would be very few men in the peni-
tentiaries. He has made a,study of
these institutions and says that there
are so many young men in prison who
should not. be there, but for the fact
that they had been surrounded by the
wrong environments in their youthful
days. Every youth should be given
the opportunity to grow up to be 9
worth while man. The tender age is
between IL and 20. One can expect
little change in man after he is 20.
Men who become q power for good in
their community when between 80 and
40, can look back to their early train
ing for their success. Business men
are responsible for our communities,
he said. Rotarians are taking q
leading part in the movement to make
It hard for boys to do things wrong
and easy for them to do right. What
a boy needs most is male companion,
and his father makes the best kind
Of a companion.
You take the churches out of Minot
and the population Of your city would
decrease 80 percent, he said. He
gave credit to the Protestant, Catho-
lie and Jewish churches, and said they
all had an important work to do. It
is the business Of the Rotary to back
up the churches he said.
Mr.. Alexander is member of the
first Rotary club organized, the Chi
cago club and he was the first secre-
tary Of the Boy Scout organization
in America. Mr.. Alexander was. giv-
en- Silver Wolf medal for disting-
uished services. He made fine i'm
preston On his audience.
