First Presbyterian church OF Minot,
was the principal speaker at union
services held at the high school audi
toriunn Sunday night to commemorate
the passage Of the federal prohibition
amendment. Kate Wilder, Fargo po-
lice matron, was to have been the prin-
cipal speaker, but could not come.
Mr.. Erickson was notified shortly be-
fore the services and he had but little
time to prepare for his address. He
urged the, members of the churches
to unite in bringing about better NOR
al conditions in the city of Minot. He
classed whiskev runners as anarchists
and enemies of the U. S. constitution.
He said, in part:
.'We have peculiar situation in
Minot. There seems to be an organic
ed band of law breakers who are al
lowed to remain in the city. If the
members of the churches Of this city
and the friends of law enforcement
should unite in asserting their rights
the political affairs of this city would
not be managed by little handful of
men who are doing little or nothing
to protect the moral welfare of Minot.
"And warn all the friends of law
enforcement to be on their guard at
the coming city election and to vote
for men about whose position on law
enforcement there is no question, and
| urge every person to exercise as
great care in marking the ballot as if
the Man of Galilee were-atanding by
his shoulder, and | warn the women
Of the city not to be trapped by the
efforts Of the whiskey sympathizers as
they will soon be surveying the women
nm the various churches of the City
and endeavoring to pick leaders here
and there in the churches and in this
way to carry the women's vote Of the
city for candidates who are not in
favor of law enforcement. \
What we need in ,Minot most, is
spiritual atmosphere of respect for
law and those finer qualities of love
and righteousness where we can rear
our boys and girls in safety. /, firm
ly believe that the mind of the public
is being awakened and that the time
will soon come when the law breaker
will not be tolerated." i

The church was filled with friends
Of Mrs. Ellison and of the Ellison
family. The Rev. Mr.. Gullixson spoke
appropriately while Miss Martha
Reishus sang II Know That My Re-
deemer Lives" from "Messiah" The
choir sang, "Asleep in Jesus" Emusic
by Ole Bully and at the close Of the
services sang "Abide with Me" which
was Mrs. Ellison's favorite hymn.
I Mrs. Ellison, whose maiden name
was Olivia Hofos, was born in Nor

of age, she came from the old country
to DEBORAH, Iowa, with her parents.
She married Engle B. Ellison June
4, 1879, and the same year they NOV

numbered among the early pioneers
of, that section. Mr.. Ellison enter
ed business in Fargo and was one of
the first merchants in the Red river
valley country. In 1908, the Ellison
family moved to Minot, Mr.. Ellison
and sons becoming interested in the
Fair Store. In1he II years spent in
Minot, Mrs. Ellison developed a large
circle of warm friends to whom the
news of her death comes, as dis

her absence will be keenly felt in the
various women's activities in connec-

While in Rochester, Mimi, where
Mr.. Ellison underwent an operation
few weeks ago, Mrs. Ellison contract
ed cold but apparently recovered
from it before returning to Minot
with Mr.. Ellison two weeks ago to-
day. A week ago Sunday she was
taken i'll again and pneumonia de-

night when she gradually grew, worse

two officials were accompanied by
Hon. w. o. Lawrence and E. p. Ter

Calhoun county seems determined
to place itself more intimately in
touch with the outside world and
looking to that end, the people Of
that county only recently voted a
half million dollar bond issue fer the
purpose of road building, and the
gentlemen who visited Grenada as
sert that they have assurance that
the amount voted by their county will
be supplemented by federal funds,
thus giving them S1,OOO,OOO. for
road building. They state that it is
their purpose to build two hard-sur-
faced highways through the county,
one running north and south and the
other running east AM west, and that
plans are to make roads 9 feet wide
of concrete which will be buttressed
on both sides with Gravel 4 feet

- NOTICE OF BONE iSSLE..
City Council Gives Notice of 9ond
Election.

a publication by order Of the City
Council Of Grenada appears else
where in this issue which eives notice
of the intention of the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen TO issue S25. 900.
in bonds at the May meeting of the
Council for the purpose of buying an
other lot for the location of the pro-
posed high school building. Of course
if One-fifth of the voters of the City
enter protest. then an election will
have to be ordered and the bonds
cannot be issued then unless a ma
jority Of the electorate favor them.
In view of the promise made by the
school trustees to place the new
building on the present school prop
erty, which promise was made Just
before the election wherein 1925. 900.
in bonds were voted for the new
building and for the purpose of equip
ping it and repairing other school
property. the proposition put before
the city by the Council this week
will clear the atmosphere and alb
solve the trustees from their pre-
election pledge. The Grenada public
now has a chance to say for them
selves about buying additional
grounds.
This paper believes that the order
for the issue of the $125,00O in
bonds already voted was broad
enough to cover the equipment, in
fact some debts have been contracted
for equipment to be paid out Of that (!
issue.
1t should perhaps be stated. as The |
Sentinel understands, that in the |
event the bond issue for $25, 100000
carries, it is not the purpose of the
trustees of the schools to issue the
full $125,O00 already voted, but that
It is their plans, as tbs paper under
stands, not to exceed $125,000 for

The stumbling block about the
is the inability to sell the

Says Groceries are
Too High Here
Editor Grenada Sentinel:

| CultOr Grenada Sentinel:
! \ You have had quite a deal to say
| about high prices and we see it said
! that the newspaper had more to do
IN starting prices down than any
other agency, but you have over
looked those at your own door You
published an article sometime ago
signed by number of the mechanics
of Grenada proposing to cut wages
20 per cent; we suppose you endorsed
that by giving it space. Now most
of us are for cutting. But from
what we know and what we hear of
prices at other nearby towns, those
who sell groceries, what we eat, in
Grenada appear not to be keeping
track of the drop in prices. These
same people went up in prices when
the market went up, now would it
not be fair to us who trade with
them for them to go down with the
market? We hear very reliable
people say that Coffeeville and Duck
Hill and Winona, for instance are
selling groceries cheaper than Gre
NADIA. We suppose that many know
that there are numbers here who
buy their groceries in Memphis and
1toC"H IOI lUe reason jDaL CnoE
S$n buy them away and get them
@xere for less than it will cost here.
This should not be. We believe in
trading at home, yet at the same
time we believe in the home merch-
ant making it so man cen trade at
home. We think our merchants. for
example, are selling -four too high.
and many other articles in the gro
Gerry line are too high. But they tell
us that our merchants bought these
goods when they were up; we don't
think it is the business of the public
to be taxed with the merchants bad
luck or bad Judgment. For Grenada
to grow and have the trade she ought.
the merchants here should be able
= sell as cheap as the merchants at
other towns. Groceries are too high
in Grenada. Watch ads in Memphis
papers which will furnish proof of
this. Mr.. Editor, we hope you can
give this space.

BEFORE VARDAMAN GOT
MAD AT WILLIAMS

He is the ablest man on the dem
ocratic side of that body (congress)
the peer of any man in fact in
public life. Profoundly learned,
prudent and circumspect; of judg-
ment, reliable and deliberate, cour-
ageous and patriotic; a speaker Of
great force and readiness, he is mag
nificently endowed with all the
qualities necessary for the trying
situation. 1t has been somewhat
surprising to me that his worth has
been overlooked up to this time
But in these days Of push, gall and
cheek, it is the immodest, assertive
hustler who usually gets there. Like
all men of real greatness, Mr.. Will
liams feels that honor and respon-
sibilities Of the character above de-
scribed should come unsought; and
while he would not shun any duty
that might be put upon him, he is
right in not entering a scramble
for it. Comparisons are somewhat
odious, but shall venture the
assertion that he is as far above
ments Of leadership, learning and
ability as the sun is above earth. L
understand that Mr.. Williams will
not be a candidate for this place

sincerely that the democrats may do
the wise thing and choose him"
