ed in practically every county in the

director for the state, that he had
been appointed chairman of the Dol
lar Democracy campaign IN: Abbe-
vile County and to please appoint
his committees in the various town
ships to accept the dollars contribut-
ed by the people of this county.
In order to facilitate the handling
Of the campaign it is necessary that
the county chairman receive hearty
cooperation from the committees In
the townships and the National DEM
ocratic chairman insists that all OF
the states make haste in putting on
the campaigns. Reports received
from national headquarters are very
encouraging and there is every hope
of party success. The Republicans,
it is pointed out, will spend large
amounts of money in an effort to
carry doubtful states. I
Thomas P. Cothran, state chairman
of the executive committee, is anx-
ious fof the canvass for funds to be
completed as soon as possible and IN

fact that a great amount Of money
will be needed for the national .can-
paign and that it is the duty of every
Democrat in South Carolina to con-
tribute as much as $1.00. Of course;
larger amounts will not be refused.
Announcement is mace by the
County Chairman this morning that
every bank cashier in Abbeville ;,
County is appointed to solicit and re-
ceive the contributions from all citi-
zens in their section and to forward
them to the county chairman. This
will make it very convenient for
these Democrats who wish to aid In
the great fight for democracy TO pay
their dollar or more by simply telling
the cashier of their bank to charge
their account with the amount they
wish to contribute.
The following gentlemen are APP
pointed in the various townships to

play

"The Courage of Marge O'Doone",
Vitagraph's screen version of the pop
ular novel by James Oliver Curwood,
which will be shown at the Orpheum
theater on Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday is clean, live story of love and
adventure in the frozen wilderness of
the great Canadian Northwest. Not
the least of its exciting episodes,
aside from great fight between two
grizzly bears, are the scenes which
were difficult to obtain, where David
Raine and Marge O'Doone, with the
aid Of Tara, the trained bear, and
Borree. the wolf dog, fight their way
out of the Nest, the stronghold of
smugglers and bad men.
The play opens on train stalled in
the snow Of an Arctic night and ends
with a night encampment and a
strange meeting far from civilizat ton.
Between the beginning and the end
are wonderful adventures and excit-
ing incidents in land where heroism
and danger are part CT the daily
routine.

F. A. LONG WILL LOCATE
SOON IN MINNEAPOLIS

\. A. Long, secretary and general
manager Of the Brush McWilliams
Co., is preparing to leave Minot and
will make his future home in Mime
apolis. Mr.. and Mrs. Long are pre-
pairing to leave two weeks from today
and expect to motor to Minneapolis.
Mr.. Long has not fully decided
definitely on his plans for the future,
but he will enter into business in
Minneapolis, slecting one of the pro
positions which he now has under con-
sideration. Before coming to Minot
nine years ago, Mr.. Long was a credit
man in that city and was Vice Presi-
dent cf the Milwaukee Creditmen's as
sccia tion before his removal to Minot.
1t is possible that he will take up his
former work, with which he has been
very successful.
Mr.. Long came to this city in Janu-
ary, 1912, and has been Secretary of
the Brush-McWillams Co. ever since.
He has handled the finances and ac-
counts of this well known real estate
loan concern, which is one of the very
largest of it's kind operating in the
Northwest. This company has oper-
ated in northwestern North Dakota
and eastern Montana, maintaining it's
general offices in Minot and it's sales
office in Milwaukee. The Brush-Mc-
Williams Co. holds the controlling in
terest in the First International Bank
and while Mr.. Long is leaving Minot,
it is understood that he still retains
important interests in the company
He is one of the directors of the First
international Bank.
No man very probably has given SO
much of his time to the public well
fare of Minot as has Mr.. Long. He
was director of the Association of
Commerce for five years, during which
time he was treasurer for two years
and president for two years. This
is the first time in the history of
the Association that man has been
elected president two successive years.
The very first check he drew after
coming to Minot was to pay his dues
as member of the Minot Association
Of Commerce.
AS chairman of the Industrial Com
mittee of the Association, he did very
effective work. His committee brot
in seventy new members for the As
sociation during one season. This
committee was responsible for bring
ing in the Firestone Tire Co, and
number of other important lines to
this city.
Mr.. Long was selected to organize
the Minot Rotary Club and was re
sponsible for selecting it's charter
members. Mr.. Long was the first
President of the Minot Rotary and SO
we'll did he handle the work that he
was selected for second term.
He has been treasurer of the Ward
County Chapter of tie Red Cross and
was charter member Of the Minot
Town Criers Club. He has received
various Masonic degrees while in the
city and for years was Chaplain and
member of the House Committee Of
the Minot Lodge No. 1889, B. P. O.
Elks.
Minot is losing one Of it's most en-
terprising citizens in the departure Of
Mr.. Long, man who has done a
wonderful service for our community.
Hundreds of warm friends regret that
Mr.. and Mrs. Long have decided to
locate elsewhere. They will take
with them the very best wishes Of ali

compelled to follow the lead of De-
troit's leading automobile manufact-
urer.
The announcement of the Moore
Motor Co. gives the public timely
warning as to the consequences which
will follow the reduction. With or
ders on hand already for 146,OOO cars
and the added stimulus Ct sales the
recent reduction will evoke it is alto
gether probable that the Ford COM
pany will be swamped with orders and
prospective purchasers should take
steps at once to see that their orders
are booked at once as it will be prac-
tically impossible for any manufact-
urer to fill the immense number of or
ders which will result from this re-
duction.
In the face of present conditions in
the market the effect of the reduction
in price of Ford cars will be stipend
Gus, and will have a far reaching ef-
feet on other lines of merchandising.

Arizona Blossoms Like A Rose

John Feiker, of Phoenix, Arizona,
is spending few days in the city,
the guest of his old friend, Marius
Erickson, of the Case Company. Mr..
Feiker is branch manager Of the Case
Threshing Machine Co. at Phoenix,
where he has made his home for sew
eral years. Speaking of conditions
in the Southwest Mr.. Feiker says that
the various irrigation projects in Ari-
zona have made that once desert land
to blossom as the rose. In the vi
cinity Of Phoenix they are now rails
ing thousands Of acres of the finest
cotton grown, the Egyptian long sta.
pie cotton, which commands the high
est market prices. Irrigation has
made possible the raising of an abun7
dance Of the finest fruits and vege-
tables, dates, figs, alfalfa, canteloupe
and corn are among the leading pro-
ducts of the region. In one day re-
Gently Phoenix alone shipped 85 car
loads of canteloupe. Mr.. Feiker is
interested in oil development work in
Texas and Louisiana. In Texas where
he has large holdings of oil lands,
principally in Ward and Reeves coun-
ties, they have several producing
wells. The wells in that section pro-
duce high percentage of lubricating
oil, and besides contains from four to
five pounds of icthyol, valuable me-
dicinal substance. worth about $500
per ID. In the Toy Basin they have
hundreds of producing wells running
from $50 to 900 feet in depth. The
gushers, however, are found at from
25(lO to 3OOO feet in depth. The Bell
we'll in that district produces 100
barrels per day.
Mr.. Feiker says that although the
temperature Of Arizona is extreme
there are seldom any protrations from
the heat. The reptiles and insects
are the worst to contend against. 1t
is not unusual to find rattler curled
up on ones door step or centipede
or tarantula has taken possession OF
your domicile during your absence.
