The Shirley Grocery No. /, f. A.
Shirley, manager has moved from the
Sons Of Norway block, into the east
half of the Farmers Bank building
which was entirely remodeled. The
store opened for business in its new
location today.
This is without doubt one of the
most ideally appointed grocery stores
in the west. it is light an airy, is
provided with white enameled fixtures
and heavy linoleum.
The Shirley Grocery Co. has been
in operation for more than ten years
and it has shown substantial gain
each year. The store handles the
very best lines of goods, such as the
Richeleau line from the Sprague
Warner Co. Of Chicago; the Hiawatha
line from the Stone-O -Ordean Wells Co.
of Mnot; the No-Vary line from the
Minot Grocery Co., besides the Chase
& Sanborn Agency in this city.
The Western Grocery Co., the
wholesale concern in which Mr.. Shir-
ley is interested, will continue to op-
crate in the Sons of Norway block.
John X. Sveen is manager Of this
store,
Mr.. Shirley is interested in two
other Minot grocery stores, the East
wood Park Grocery, managed by AL
fred Shirley and the Oak Park Gro
Gerry, managed by w. c. Rustad.
Geo. Edell has been head clerk at
the Shirley Grocery No. store for the
past eight years. "Curley', Helm, who
has been in the east for three years,
has returned to Minot to accept his
old position at Shirley's.
The Shirley Grocery store occupied
it's present site when it first started
ten years ago. ''It's just getting back
home," Mr.. Shirley said to an 1nde-
pendent representative. The loca-
ton is one of the best in the city.

day, with Archie MCDANIEL presiding.
Herold Ross, assistant manager of the
International Harvester Co. was taken
in as member, Leslie A. White, de-
livering fine talk on the principles of
Rotary. Henry NJ. Wilson announced
that site for the Boy Scouts summer
camp on the southwest end of Rice
Lake had been leased for the season,
and that the various organizations
were raising $12O000 to finance the
summer encampment. The Rotary
voted 100000. The Elks have voted
$4,000 and other organizations will
come in. Geo. w. kemper had order
ed the tents. Henry A. Backemeyer,
tenor evangelist, sang two splendid
tenor solos. Lafe Eaten played sax
aphone solo. The program Of the
Good Roads Association was at first
endorsed and then on motion Of Sen
ator Bond was reconsidered, Mr.. Bond
stating that he thought it wise to
find out just what the program is that
the association wishes endorsed. He
states that he is not in favor of a big
bond issue.
Governor j. M. Devine, Mandan
Rotarian, who is visiting old friends,
gave very able talk on good fellow
ship. Mr.. Devine came to Minot 20
years ago, resided among US for IA
years and for six years has been sup
erintendent of the state training
school at Mandan, performing mans
job in an able manner. Mr.. Devine
still considers Minot his home and is
very apt to move back to this city
with his family in the near future.
U. L. Burdick of Williston, president
of the State Farm Bureau, who is in
Minot attending the pure bred stock
sale, gave an especially sensible talk.
He pointed to the fact that it is a fine
thing to build up substantial cities
like Minot, but it is even more i'm
portant to build up our rural COM
munities and he urged the citizens
of Minot to back the farmers at every
turn in the road in getting for them
all that they have coming. Fifty-two
per cent of the people of the United
States live in cities of more than 500
population and something must be
done to encourage the people to go
back to the farm. Other guests We're
A. Stonehouse, well-known stock
breeder at Larimore; DR.. Thomas, a

deau, farmer and stockman from Nc

Kiwanis Club Being Organized In
MinOt.

A Kiwanis club is being organized
in Minot. A temporary organization
was effected at the office of DIR. }. c.
Jaskman Tuesday and temporary Of
ficers elected as follows:
Presidents. S. Morgan.
Vice President-C. N. Cox.
Treasurer, Lee H. Piper.
Directors-S. S. Morgan, c. N. Cox,
Jacob o. Hofto, Lee Piper, X. E.
Leighton, DR.. Andy Carr, Jr., Hart
Swalstad, DR.. E. G.. De Mots, Fl. f.
Byorum and DR.. Jackman. The organ
ization of the club will take place at
the parlors- of the Episcopal church
at noon Friday. A minimum ~of 65
members will be secured, including no
more than two members from any
classification. Walter C. Hampton,
field representative, will attend the
Friday luncheon, and will outline the
aims of the club.
The Kiwanis club will hold weekly
luncheons, developing spirit of CO.
operation and good fellowship among
it's members. Business building and
community development are included
in the clubs aims.
Membership in a Kiwanis club
said Mr.. Humpton, who has been in
Minot for several days, ''is limited by
being restricted to definite business
and professional classifications. Its
purposes, aims, and ideals require
that it's membership be made up of
high grade men who stand for fair
dealing, for service, for human fel-
lowship, and for the vital principles
of the golden rule. Such men not only
benefit each other by getting togeth-
er once week at lunch time, but
they constitute a, body. in which XII
wants stands ready to Did every COM
munity movement that looks to bet
terment. In other words, to use a mo-
dernized alteration, it is an organ
ization of men with purpose, pep,
punch and personality, which is a
real asset to the CITY,"
"Allow me to make it clear that
the Kiwanis club is no way overlaps
or duplicates the activities Of the
Association Of Commerce, Rotary
clubs, etc, but onthe contrary, his
tory in more than 400 cities shows
that both organizations have proven
to be essential to the progress of the
community. Each body has it's dis
tinct sphere of operations, and these
organizations act in harmony with
each other.
