BEAVER VALLEY GARAGE SOLD

A deal was completed this week
whereby the Beaver Valley garage
was sold complete to O.. M. Bau.
mann; of Fort Yates. The new own.
er of the place has been in the garage
business for years at Ft. Yates. He
has made success of the business
there by keeping such highly-ef-
ficient force of mechanics that he drew
trade from all surrounding towns.
He will handle car agencies, but his
first interest is repair work and the
keeping of a complete line of repair
parts.
The Beaver Valley garage has been
the property of group of Lintonites
who have done very we'll in the ven-
ture. They had on hand some $15,-
900 worth of repairs and supplies
alone when the sale was made.
Messrs. .Obermeier and Bechtle have
been the active managers of the busi-
ness.
Mr.. Baumann left yesterday for a
business trip to Ft. Yates. He ex-
poets to return the last of the week
to remain permanently, and he will
bring his family here as soon as he
secures a house. He will change the
name of the garage, but final plan
along that line are not ready to be
announced.

MERRY-GO-ROUND FOR THE
FOURTH

The entertainment committee in
charge Of plans for the Fourth of
July celebration at Seeman Park this
year have been fortunate enough to
secure the services of new and up
to-date merry-go-round outfit for that
day. The new rig belonging to Mr..
and Mrs. H. L. Bohlman, of Wishek,
will be here for the big day. 1t
is an 11-ton outfit, and said to be
right up to snuff. It has it's own
electric-light plant, and is beautifully
illuminated at night. Four persons
are in the crew that operate it. The.
merry -go-round will likely arrive
few days before the Fourth, and will
remain couple of days after that
date.
The program committee for the
Fourth feel highly elated over secur-
ing the merry-go-round, as it is gem
orally conceded that merry-go-round
itself is sufficient to entertain most
any healthy kid all one Fourth of July.
With the merry-go-round, the pie
eating contests and the swimming
races for boys and girls, the interests
of the youngsters are not being over
looked. In fact, the Fourth should
be entertainment for the kids first Of
all, anyway.

The notation concerning F. j. Nc

at least a faithful worker, we should

WHITE BREAKS RULE IN GIVING
N. D. BOND OK
Mellon Issues Note Saying Treasurer's
Statement About Securities
Was Out cf Order
(From the Courier-News)

\frOm the COurler-NeWS)
Washington, May 25.-While it is
known that the statement attributed
to Col. Frank White, treasurer of the
United States, in advertisements in
certain New York papers as to the
merits of the state of North Dakota
bond issue, reflects his views accurate
ly, the interview was not given with
the intention of conveying the i'm
preston that the United States treas
ury department was indorsing any Sc
curities other than the obligations of
the government of the United States.
it was stated here today at the North
Dakota bond sales headquarters, after
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon had
authorized statement saying Colonel
Whites Endorsement was without au-
thoftty from the treasury department.
Colonel Whites statement was in
tended simply to be used in canvass
ing individuals for the sale of the
bonds. Colonel White had no hesi-
fancy in saying that the North Da-
kota bonds are rated among the best
securities that are now being offered
to the public. He stated that the
highest court in the land has passed
on the legality of the. bond issue, and
that there was no question as to the
bond being in proper form, and furth-
er stated that the state Of North Da-
kota has always met its obligations
and that the debt ard per capita Of the
state is about the lowest of any in
the union, and that ample provision
has been made for the sinking fund
as the payment of the interest when
due.
The treasury departments repudia-
tion of the use of Mr.. Whites name
came after stormy session in which
it is said Secretary Mellon, Assistant
Secretaries Gilbert and Wadworth and
Mr.. White participated. It is under
stood that Mr.. White, convinced de-
partment officials he had no intention
wrongfully to use the influence of his
Office in behalf Of the Bank of North
Dakota or the Nonpartisan league. He
frankly admitted that he. knew moth
ing Of the federal law which forbids
what he had done. Mr.. White has
been in Office less than a month and
has many ithings about it yet to
learn.

The postmaster explains that all
government securities may be pur-
chased at the postoffice, with the ex-
ception of the $1,000 Treasury Savings
certificates, and even these can be or
dered by the postmaster. The post
master also calls attention to the fact
that SIS Savings stamps and the $25,
$100 and $1,000 Savings certificates
yield a per cent interest compounded
quarterly, if held until maturity, and
that they may be cashed at any time,
plus accrued interest. Unlike Liberty
Bonds, they are not subject to market
fiuctuation, but always are worth
more than you paid for them.

Exercises. Service Men in Uni-
form Lead Parade to Cemetery.

ton early Monday to attend ther Mem
orial Day exercises staged by the Dan

and marched to the cemetery west Of
town, where the graves of deceased
soldiers Of all wars were decorated
by detail Of service men in uniform.

graves, and the graves of Campfire
Girls, by the girls of that organiza-
tion, ceremony of placing a wreath
of poppies on a bier for the unknown

mander of the local post, and the ad-
dress of the day by Rev. Malpass.
Memorial Day services seem to have
an added significance and new in
terest since the world war. 1t can
be attributed to some extent to the
loss Of relatives and friends by SO
many, who desire to observe the day
as token to the life of their loved
ones. Soldiers of three wars were in
the parade, although the lone sur
vivor of the War, A. C. Wagher,.
of Linton, is very far along in years.
Several Spanish war veterans were in
ranks, The various legion posts may
be depended upon for years to come
to see 10 the proper observance of the

Every effort will be bent to develop
every boy as nearly possible into
thoroly normal chap. The boy will be
taught in a quiet and undramatic way
the real, vital questions of life; how to
live it clean, and how to avoid dis
appointment ana sorrow. 1t is of
course a known fact that in the past
boys have often taken the wrong path
because they received improper ideals
from men of bad standards. The Boy
Scout program offers a wonderful OPP
portunity to every boy in making his
life profitable, as well as a joy to his
parents and those about him. Too
much cannot be said for a program
which capably handles the real prob

In addition to the medical forces ar
ranged for. the Topeka Scouc Council
will very shortly begin a training
course for capable men as scout

course in boy psychology, psychology
of the adolescent, and many other
things, which will enable them to un-

his activities into the proper channels.
