The Broad Arrow Is Said
to Be of Celtic Origin
One of the great nations of the world uses it as
A Government Mark

The same figure occurs on coins, and has
appeared upon some gems as symbol Of the ancient
Persian god, Mithra.
Ages ago, the broad arrow denoted rank,
authority and superiority of intellect and learning
Sometimes it was adopted by Princes as an
insignia of honor.
Napoleon 1, desiring some more regal emblem
than the feur-de-lis, adopted the BEE, which he
caused to be embroidered all over his imperial robes
as embematic of activity and enterprise
The busy bee might well be fitting emblem for
the activities and enterprises of this busy place.

MUNICH AND VICINITY HAD
A PROSPEROUS YEAR 1919

In resume of the real estate
transfers of Southwestern Cavalier
county during 1919, the Munich
Herald of last week showed that
within the year there were ffty-four
transfers of farm poperty and nine
teen sales of Munich town property
recorded. 1t is also worthy of note
that land in that section of the
county has advanced in value $50
per acre within the past twelve
months. The farm lands that have
changed hands represent IL. 76O
acres and four of the transfers
were either quarter or half section
tr acts of improved land that had
netted the seller an advance of at
the least 100 per cent on the origi-
nal investment after a yearly return
of good average crop. Incidentally
several good business properties and
public improvements have been made
in Munich during 1919 representing
a permanent investment varying
from $500 to $4,000 and aggre.
eating in round figures TO almost
$50, 600. Munich and southwestern
Cavalier county have high stand
ing and the Herald is there with al
effective boost whenever the oppor
