being published in Minot, under the

off the press. 1t is q sixteen page
publication filled with. news Of general
interest to members Of the K. G. coun-
Gil and it has liberal advertising
patronage. It has q subscription
list Of more than 5000 which makes
it an excellent advertising medium.
The publication of the Columbian in
Minot brings considerable additional
business to this city.
Mr.. Milloy, the editor is an old time
newspaperman, having been connected
with the Minot Daily News as city ed
itor until he resigned to become secre-
tary of the Minot Association of Com

in securing him for editor. His work

Thrifty Farmer Buys Delinquent
Taxes

A Mr.. Whistler, farmer residing
near Surrey, invested approximately
$5,OOO.OO in Ward county taxes when
he attended the delinquent tax sale
last week. He receives the penalty
of per cent and one per cent a month
until the taxes are paid. As the
taxes come ahead of mortgages, such
an investment is pretty safe.

The Minot Drug Co. has done
remarkably good business during the

WE ARE CLOSING 0UTf0UR MIN0T STORE AND
PRICES HAVE BEEN SLASIiED to MOVE EVER THING
There's 5 Always a
Reason Why
THIS Is OUR REASON

The announcement; that The Minot
Drug Company is to close out its busi-
ness Jan. 1st, 1922, makes it necessary
to accompany that announcement with
the reason for so doing.
For the past 16 years The Minot
Drug Company has done remark
ably successful business. We are in
debted to the people of this vicinity
for their generous patronage and we
want this to be in part an expression
Of that appreciation. Minot is q great
business center and we have had
generous share of business in our
store.
Circumstances in connection with
our fast growing organization make
it necessary to concentrate our ef-
forts in a narrower limit of territory.
Our Minot store is over 200 miles dis
tant from the next nearest member
of our organization. We do not be-
lieve that this is wise-have found
it is scattering our efforts too great
ly-and hence the decision to close
our store in Minot. Our stores other
than Minot are quite closely central
lied in territory near Fargo. Grand
Forks and Valley City are within
quick reach Of our headquarters.
Three stores in Fargo are constantly
engaging our energies with their
growth and expansion. That's our
reason for closing out at Minot.
Now-just in the midst Of the Holi-
day season we are going to give you
something to remember in the way Of
closing out prices. A great store
filled with the choicest goods-is to be
closed up with price cutting era
which will both move the goods and
show our appreciation Of all that Mi
not people have done for us. Come in
and benefit by this wonderful op-
portunity.

President.
