REBUKED FROM THE PULPIT
Pastoral Admonition, Gently Conveyed,
Should Have Been Enough sse
Even Choir eoya.

The pastor Of a small parish In a
New Jersey town was known far and
wide about the countryside for his
quaint ways and eccentric habits. He
had a small choir which he augmented
on special occasions with boys from
the neighborhood These recruits were
sometimes unruly and he did net n.
ways find It easy to hold thsm vtthiQ
the proper bounds.
In the course Of a Christmas morn
ang sermon several choir boys began %
eat peanuts surreptitiously and the
cracking Of the shells was plainly
audible to the congregation. At first
the rector paid no attention to them,
but family they got on his nerves.

The county commissioners have not
yet come to a decision as to a site
for the Ward county fair association.
Several good sites have been offered,
some undoubtedly better than others,
and the commissioners are considering
the price at which they are offered as
well as location. The Independent has
no particular interest in any site offer
ed, but the taxpayers would undoubt-
edly appreciate it if site can be
secured at the right price which is
easily reached and which has few
acres of beautiful trees. Several
sites with several acres of beDtiful
trees are offered. You know how
you used to like to go to the old coun-
ty fairs back east, and take your pic
mic dinners and spread out the fried
chicken and cake and buns on the
grass under the trees, exchanging
goodies" with the family next to
you? About half the pleasure of at
tending fair is the picnic dinner and
visiting with your friends in the shade
of the leafy trees. We hope the
county fathers can soon select site
so that arrangements can be made to
hold a fair.

The Independent joins all of Minot
and the northwest in offering congrat-
liations to our officers who so ably
landed in their net the three men who
participated in the robbery of the
bank and store at Martin. Men of
this ilk will soon learn that they are
not welcome here. Minot must not
be made rendezvous for the lawless
element and they must be made to feel
that their presence is not wanted here.
1t has been known for long time
that bands of yeggmen, whiskey run
ners and automobile thieves have been
making their headquarters here. Many
Of the men are we'll known but until
recently, moratorium appears to
have been declared as far as this ele-
ment was concerned, so long as they
kept their hands off Minot. This city
needs to have no fear for these men
and if we are to allow the lawless ele-
rnent to dictate to US. those who be-
iieve in law enforcement might just
as well move out.
