Additional Editorial
A USEFUL CITIZEN

The death Of E. Ellison, pioneer
merchant, who passed away at his
home Wednesday, removes from sour
midst one of Minot's most lovable and
useful citizens. The writer remem-
bers we'll when Mr.. Ellison arrived
from Fargo, where he had long been
a merchant, and opened his little
store in this city. He started in
with limited capital and at the time
there was question whether an ex-
elusive store of that kind would pay
in city of little more than a
thousand population. Mr.. Ellison
proceeded carefully, feeling his way,
so to speak, improving and enlarging
his store as our city and territory de-
veloped, being able eventually to re-
view his life's work with complete sat
isfaction. Here is an example of a
man who might be said to. have at
tanned success after he had passed
the half century mark. In his earlier
life, however, he must have laid the
foundation for it, which served him
so well in his later years. The entire
northwest mourns the demise of this
quiet. unassuming capable man who
has gone to his reward.

LET SOMETHING GOOD n SAID

Don't save the floral tributes
Till the aching heart is still,
And the tired hands are folded
Submissive to His will.
But scatter seeds of kindness
Upon life's thorny bed,
And while your friend is living,
Let something good be said.
Don't magnify his failures
Or rejoice at his downfall;
Remember we are human
And temptation comes to all.
Don't waste the precious moments
To eulogize the dead,
But while your friend is living,
Let something good be said.
Don't crowd another closer,
That is pressed against the wall,
But lend Il hand to help him
Who knows when you may fall?
Let Charity's soft mantle
Ger faults and vices spread,
And while your friend is living. A
Let something good be said.

During 1920, the Ward County In
dependent paid out in wages $780,
475.63. This money was distributed
among thirteen families and the
money was either all spent here as
living expenses or invested in Minot
homes. The money which the people
Of Minot spend with the Independent
for advertising, job printing and sub
scriptions, remains in Minot We
merely help to give it circulation and
it is returned to you, together with
large sums that come from outside Of
the city. This might afford little
lesson in buying your printing at
home. Not so many merchants send
out of town for their printing as they
formerly did, but still far away pas
lures always look green, and we are
sorry to say that there are few
otherwise good folks who imagine that
they do little better by sending out
Of the city for their printing. It's a
mistake, fellows. Be better citizens
than you now are and leave your
printing in Minot. You don't need to
get it all done at this office We have
several other very good shops in Minot
that will appreciate some Of the work
you have been ordering from out-of-
town as much as we would.

The city campaign this year is to
be along business lines largely The
moral element will not enter much
into the campaign. A type Of candi-
date will no doubt be selected who is
expected to use his best efforts in law
enforcement, anyway. The church
element will be satisfied to rally
round a candidate with these quaIiti-
cations. Practically every property
owner is anxious to have his taxes re-
duced. He'll be pretty certain to sup
port the candidate who can give the
most reasonable assurance that he'll
work for some relief. The people will
support some hard headed business
man for president if he will step for
ward and show that he is willing to
go. 1t isn't every businessman who
can afford to take position of this
kind. The salary is only SIS month
and to do the work right will require
much of his time. He should be in a
position to run the business in the
same manner he would conduct his
own and should be in a position to
tell everybody who don't like his style
to jump into the lake. He should talk
the affairs of the city over with the
people, in open meetings occasionally
and get their views and suggestions.
A financial statement should be pub
lished at least every three months. We
have right to know how our money
is being expended. He should be con-
sentative and economical, but not ret
roactive; should see that we get dol
lars worth for every 100 cents ex-
pended. If man with these qualifi-
cations can be brot forth, the people
will rise up and call him blessed.

BLACKSMITH ALSO IN LINE
Farmer Discovered He Was Not the
Only One Who Was Taking
Down Good Profits.

While Tom Blggers, the village
blacksmith toiled over the plowshare
brought in by old Peter Mullins. the
farmer, the owner told at length of
the remarkable success he had had
with three filters of pigs he had sold
In market that day.
Now" said old Peter, them pigs
was less than eight months old and
they brought me ten cents pound
or n little above 500. Why. Tom,
only few years ago them same pigs
would have fetched me only about
half as much. ! tell you, Tom. the
farmer is gittin' his harvest now"
by this time Biggers had completed
the sharpening OF the share. and he
handed IL TO Peter. From a well-worn
purse old Peter took forth two dimes.
the usual price for such Job, and
dropped them into the blacksmith's
hand.
Say. Peter" observed Biggers.
you'll have to come again. charge
thirty cents since the first of the year
for sharpening that plow."
That's an outraged" sputtered old
Peter. why have you raised the price
on me?'

pork you were just telling me about"

FUNGI THAT DAMAGE CANVAS
Frequently Within the Space Of Three
Months the Material viii Be
Made Useless.

Major w. Broughton-Alcock OF the
British army made some studies on
the fungi that cause black and brown
spots on canvas tents, awnings, etc,
and that bring about n more or less
rapid destruction of such articles. A
note on the subject by J. Ramsbottom
appears In Nature. The Investigations
were carried out partly In Malta,
where, It Is said. awnings last only
about year. The principal destruc-
tive agents In the case of cotton and
fiax-made canvas were found TO be
Macrosporium and Stemphyllum. The
variation I'm the color OF the spots is
found TO be due to the presence of
various other fungi In association with
the genera above mentioned The
first signs of fungoid growth appear
on the inner side Of the roof portions
of tents and marques. Often within
three months pressure on the spots
made by the fungi leads TO perfora-
ton, or a strong wind causes tearing.
Experiments showed that the Wllles-
den tcuprammonlum) method and
Clutch treatment prevented the growth
Of the fungi.-Scientific American.
