SINN FEINERS HAVE
NOT DECIDED UPON
LINE OF TACTICS

Dublin. Feb. Though the Sim
Feiners generally reject the home rule
act their organization has not yet Of
ficially determined its line Of tactics
in relation to it.
The chief secretary. Sir Homar
Greenwood. and the high officials are
busy with plans for putting the act
into force in the south, and are ex-
ploring the possibilities of finding can
didates who will face the risk OF the
polls. This compels Sim Fein to de-
eide what it will do, and interviews
with we'll known Sim Feiners reveal
three distinct currents of opinion.
The largest section, supported. it is
said. by the authority Of De Valera.
believes that the act should be COM
pletely ignored and that Sim Feiners
should neither appear as candidates
or exercise the franchise.
A smaller section, seeing that this
course might lead to the election Of a
sufficient number of persons to con-
stitute the parlia ment, think that the
Sim Fciners should contest the seats
and, having Won most Of them. refuse
to attend the Dublin parliament. This
would put the government to the ne
cessity Of replacing the duly elected
representatives of the country by
nominated men who would. under the
act, have all the powers of the parlia- :
ment.
A third. but very small body Of Sim
Feiners are Of the opinion that they
should not only secure election but
undertake the work OF government in
the new parliament. and use the posi-
ton to extract extended powers.
Between these rival views Sinn F'ein
must shortly decide. and there is no
doubt that the official decision will be
obeyed.
There is a strong view among all
sections of nationalists that the fair
est way for the government to test
Irish opinion on the new act would be
to submit it by referendum to the
whole people. Leading Sim Feiners
have expressed themselves as quite
willing that this course should be TAX
en-. and are confident that in southern
Ireland the verdict for it's rejection
would be almost unanimous.

PendrOy Tells About Big Farming
Operations in Montana

L.. B. Pendroy, former owner of
the Pendroy Hotel at Towner, was a
Minot visitor Wednesday. He now
resides at Choteau, Mont, where he
is engaged in farming extensively.
Last year he put in 100 acres of crop
for himself, operating two caterpillar
tractors. He was also engaged in
putting in 10000 acres of flax for Mr..
Beisecker, president of the Plenty
wood, Mont, bank which failed. Bel
seeker gave Pendroy checking ac-
count of $110,OOO.OO and the farming
expenses averaged S64S.00 per day.
He sowed flax that cost seven dollars
a bushel on ground that had grown
flax the year before. Little of the
flax came up on account Of drouth
and wilt and Beisecker lost heavily.
The Beisecker tract is located adjoin-
ing the famous j. Pierpont Morgan
farm in Montana. Fifty tractors are
operated on the Morgan farm. Last
fall, the tractors were engaged in
hauling hay out from town to the
Morgan farm. At one time there
was a string of three miles of the
tractors along the road. As the
Morgan interests are rated into the
many millions, crop failure or so
does not do them much damage.

BOWBELLS FARMER
COMMITS SUICIDE

Bowbells, N. D., Jan. pa post
norton examination on the remains
of Eric Lindquist, bachelor farmer
whose body was found in a chicken
house on his farm eight miles west
,of Bowbells, disclosed that Lindquist
had committed suicide. Coroner Gro
gan of Flaxton deemed an inquest
unnecessary. The body showed sew
eeral cuts about the throat and wrists
but when the knife with which the
cutting had been done was not found
near the body, relatives suspected foul
play.
Some peculiar incidents have de-
veloped in connection with the trag-
redy. Several hundred dollars worth
of government bonds were found hid
den in an automobile and the victims
best clothes were found stored in a
I granary. He was secretary Of the
Bowbells Yeomen lodge and all the

we've found in the house. Officers

Bert Plowman Will Locate in the West

bert iIOWman VIII Locate Ill the west
Bert Plowman, local Delco Light
dealer, has closed out his stock of
lighting fixtures and shipped the bal
ance of his Delco products back to
the home office at Fargo. For the
past two years Bert with his auto,
equipped with light plant, has been
a familiar sight about the city and
thruout this section Of the state. His
success as a salesman was phenome
nal and up to the time of the slump
in grain prices his business was con-
sidered one of the most thriving enter
prises along this line in the city. Con-
ditions, at the present time are such
that it was not considered feasible to
continue the maintenance of the ag-
ency here and consequently Bert felt
impelled to 60 where his talents could
have more chance for furthering his
interests. Several fine openings are
awiting Mr.. Plowman in the state Of
Washington and he expects to leave
for that state within the next ten days
and if he finds a position to his liking
he will move his family west in the
spring.
Minot, in losing Bert Plowman, will
miss one of the best boosters the
city ever had. Bert was always on the
job and never overlooked an oppor-
tunity to do a good turn for his city
or his friends. He was a loyal citi-
zen, a hustler and true friend. 1t
is safe to say that wherever Bert casts
his lot he will soon establish relations
that will be mutually agreeable to
his associates. The Independent be-
speaks for him abundant success,
many friendships and great prosperity
in his western home.

Spoilers Employed to Arrest Minot
"Wild Women"

Spoilers have been engaged to ar
rest Minot women of the underworld
and from henceforth their paths are
not apt to run very smoothly. Gertie
Bell, newcomer from Montana, was
arrested by Chief Mcdonald in a local
hotel just as she stepped into room
with one of the spoilers. She was
plentifully supplied with cash, hav-
ing $95.61. She was taken to Jail
where she was given a fine and costs
amounting to $58.70.
Nettie Boone, colored, arrested for
prostitution, was released on $25 cash
bail. May Warrononis, colored, was
fined $40 and S. costs for running a
disorderly house. Matte Parcks,
coiored, was fined $25 with $14.20
costs for soliciting on the streets. A
spotter entered into a conversation
with the woman and accompanied her
to a shack. She accepted a marked
FIVE dollar bill and was Immediately
arrested. The woman had only 40
cents with the exception of the five
dollar bill.

Recalls Time When keavjn Was
Mayor of Newton

J. J. Keavin, formerly one Of Mi
not's leading merchants and at pres.
ent owner Of very successful tax
line, recently received copy Of The
ntor-Democrat, published at New.
ton, Illinois, which Is republishing a
series of items dated back 30 years
ago. 1t so happens that at that par.
ticular time Mr.. Keavin was proprie-
tor of the leading mercantile estab-
lishment of Newton as well as mayor
of that enterprising Illinois city. We
note among the items listed resume
Of the prices given in an advertise
ment run at that time by the Keavin
store, the following: Mems heavy
winter sack suit, worth $500, at $500.
Mems heavy winter frock suit, worth
$500 at $3.50.
Mems heavy suit worth $500, at
$3.50 and on up to SIS, for the best
suit in the county worth $4,000.
In the Boot & Shoe department we
note the following prices:
Mems heavy boots, worth $500 at
$1.65.
Mems heavy boots worth $3.50, at
$500.
Mems best boots for drover's SER
vice, worth $4.75 at 1926.
Ladies' heavy shoes worth $1OO at
S5c.
Ladies' fine kid button shoes worth
$500 at $1.5O.
All wool red flannel 18c per yard.
Grey flannels IL 1/2c to Zoe
Jeans IL 1/2c per yard.
Heavy grey blankets SOC per pair.
Ladies hose only Sc per pair.
A still better line, extra fine 25c
per pair.
Mems heavy socks 10c.
Cotton worsted dress goods all
shades, SC worth s 1/2c.
These prices would certainly take
old H. c. LIS breath, away in these
corking days of the Goth century.
Mr.. Keavin also showed the writer
another copy of the same paper in
which was given an account of the
celebration of the 3Oth anniversary
of the turning on water in their
newly installed system of waterworks
and the opening of the electric light
plant at Newton, both of which events
took place during Mr.. Keavin's incum-
bency Of the mayors office.

Boyer Compelled to Lock Doors t.
Keen Crowds Out of Sale

The big clothing sale now on at the

that it became necessary early the
very first day to station a door tender
at the front door TO control the i'm
mense crowds which focked there for
bargains. Both front and rear doors
are locked and only such number adj
mitted as can be waited upon with
any degree Of comfort for customer or
clerk. This scheme, while resented
by some, is the only possible method
Of handling crowd, as in clothing,
especially, the customer must have
time to make his selection with care.

the customer as we'll, for both will
in that way be better satisfied.
