Announcement OF consolidation of
the Omaha Auto Sales company,
distributors of Maxwell and Chal-
mers cars, with the Mid City Motor
and Supply company, distributors OF
the Stephens Salient Six, has just
been made.
This move unites two old and
established firms, whose business
policies are well and favorably
known throughout this middle west
territory and the consolidation of
these two companies gives Omaha
an unusually powerful automobile
distributing organization.
Walter S. Johnson, manager OF
the Mid-City Motor and Supply
company, also has been president Of
the Omaha Auto Sales company
since its organization.
Mr.. Johnson says:
Il feel that the consolidation OF
the two companits over which /
have had supervision will permit
better observation of activities and
tend to produce better results, due
to concerted action by those who
have been connected with me for
several years"

Governor Elect NestOs Addressed
MinOt Kiwanians

Governor Nestos addressed the
Minot Kiwanis club at their Wednes-
day luncheon at the Episcopal dining
hall.
Mr.. Nestos emphasized the need of
patriotic consecrated builders in
North Dakota today.
"There has been so much of tearing
down during the period of misunder-
standing we have been going thru in
this state" said Mr.. Nestos. "The
idea has seemed to be to tear down
everything. Some things have been
bad and have been destroyed and also
some of the finest and best things we
have had have been factionalism and
misunderstanding, tearing down the
confidence Of the public and the repu-
tation of the builders of our state of
the last quarter or half century.
This has been true of the banking
business and of our political life.
"There has been so much of bitter
factionalism and misunderstanding
and the essential now is a new under
standing and working together for
the common good.
1--WE get distorted views and ideas
of each other when looking from a
distance. When we come near to-
gether we each find the other to be a
brother or sister and working for the
same things as ourselves.
During the coming years sincere
ly hope that new spirit of under
standing and brotherhood and working
in the common cause will prevail in
North Dakota and that we will live up
to the Kiwanian motto, "We Build".
"We have fundamentally the best
state in the Union. What we must do
is develop and build it up and make
it better in every way. With cooper
alton and earnest effort we can rebuild
what has been lost of good and make
North Dakota in reality the best Of
the entire sisterhood of states"
The short address of States Atty.
0. B. Herigstad gave a new and per-
soral touch to one of series of func-
tions in honor of the new governor.
"These new events come closer to me,
perhaps, than any Of you, said Mr..
Herigstad, for am losing, in part at
least, not only valued citizen but
also my business partner and my best
friend. He has been one of our out
standing citizens and always active in
the best movements in our commun-
ity. We regret to lose him even in
part and rejoice that he will not be
entirely taken from us altho called
to another scene and larger duties.
We gladly give him to our state where
he can perform the largest work and
be of the greatest service to his fell
low citizens"
Thomas B. Murphy presided at the
luncheon and skillfully handled the
rapid fire and enjoyable program, in
terspersing it with anecdotes and
flashes of humor. Several visitors
We're present and were called on for
short talks.

skinny" Johnson Fails in Attempt
to Take Car

skinny johnson, who has been in
the tolls more than once, was caught
by DR.. H. NJ. Erenfeld in the act of
riding away with his Packard car
Monday night at a late hour. The
doctor was on a sick call to the Ray
rooming house when Johnson started
to drive away with the car. The
doctor had locked the steering dsvice
and when johnson came to the turn in
the street and could not turn the car,
he abandoned it. The police appre-
hended him, but the doctor did not
care to prefer a charge against him.
That same night, the Cadillac car
bought by VIM. Filaris, proprietor of
the Gem Cafeteria, was stolen from
his garage and has not yet been loca-
ted. johnson is suspected Of know
ing where the car is. johnson left
Minot the same night and Tuesday
was arrested by the chief of police at
Plentywood, Montana. He was to
have been held, but he put up plaus-
ible story and stated he was return
ing to Minot, so the Plentywood po-
lice set him free. That day he board
ed train for Williston. There is. no
evidence to connect johnson with the
theft of the Cadillac, although john
son may be able to give the officers
some clue as to where it has been
taken.
Filaris' car was insured for 80 per
cent Of its value. The paddock was
sawed from the door Of the garage and
Mr.. Filaris does not know whether he
had locked the car or not.

Sawyer Man Decides to Remain in
North Dakota

sawyer Man Decides TO Remain IN
North Dakota
H. l.. Vesper, Of Sawyer, who has
been reader Of the Independent ever
since this paper was first published,
is in Minot this week, one Of the jurors
in district court. Mr.. Vesper home-
steaded near Sawyer and retired from
the farm five years ago. He is now
living in Sawyer, where he owns sew
eral buildings.
q am pleased the way election
went" he said. 'Had the Indepen-
dent ticket failed to win, | was con-
sidering strongly Of selling all of my
North Dakota property and moving
from the state, even though | could
not get more than half what it was
worth"
Mr.. Vesper says Sawyer feels the
need Of bank badly, now that both
Sawyer banks have been closed. There
is talk of reorganizing the Sawyer
State Bank. Most every Sawyerite
was hit by the closing of the two
banks, for practically everyone had
saved up money with which to buy
their fuel and food for the winter.
They hope to get the money back
sometime and perhaps now that Mes
tos has been elected, money can be
secured from outside sources to en-
able the state to make good on the
closed banks at much earlier date
