Detroit, Mich, Aug. "A sum-
mer thunder shower Al years ago
resulted in the invention Of the ice
cream soda, according to Fred
Sanders, Jr., of Detroit, whose grand
father Fred Sanders, claimed the
distinction of having discovered this
American institution.
Speaking of his grandfather's dis
covery Mr.. Sanders said:
Forty years ago the American
people regarded ice cream much as
the lily that could not be painted
at that time they took it straight
Syrups were in general use in drink
connections but the ice cream SUM-
dae and its many near relatives
were unknown, Carbonated water
was used by the soda dispensers in
a popular drink known as sweet
cream soda. It's chief ingredient
was sweet cream, direct from the
farm.
"The thundershower that brought
about my grandfather's discovery
came in the summer of 1860. He
was conducting a soft drink parlor
and the storm caused the sweet
cream he had intended for sodas to
sour Just after the storm passed
a wedding party dropped in and
my grandfather volunteered to a.

tute drink. He tried several drinks
and finally concocted one almost,

this we need the cooperation of every
resident Of the city. The great trou-
BILE with municipal affairs is tenden-

"Often the public is aroused during
the short period of the campaign, but
there is too much activity, and ac-
quiescence during the intervals. Every
taxpayer, every home-owner, every
resident, whether property owner or
not and in no matter what circum-
stance shuold feel that he is a part Of
the city government; that it is not
only his privilege but his duty to as
sist in promoting the highest welfare
of Minot.

of the city should be run efficiently
and honestly; that every resident,
whether rich or poor; is entitled to a
square deal; that the laws should be
enforced without fear or favor, and
that all Of US, irrespective Of political
affiliation or personal likes or dislikes,
should pull together unselfishly for a
Bigger and Better Minot.
sI wish to thank those who worked
so hard and Loyalty for the success of
the Citizens Ticket, and especially the
women, to whom believe We owe our
success largely. I believe that we
have absolutely no malice or i'll feel
ing against any Of our opponents and
that the new commissioners are in a
position to do justice to all
"The excellent treatment that and
my associates received from The Daily

Winfield NJ. Smart was elected pres

Tuesday, defeating w. S. Shaw, pres
ident Of the commission for the past
six years and city commissioner for
four years previous, by II votes. The
election was one of the most spirited
in the history Of Minot.. Smart re-
ceived total of 1868 votes to 1346
for Shaw. E. c. Malm, the third can
didate for president received 498
votes.
