Kiwaris Club Will Erect W0men's
Rest Room on Fair Grounds

.. A notable example of the keen and
substantial interest being taken in
the new Ward County Talr ana tne
practical kind of cooperation that ex-
lists in this part of the state is fur
nished by the action of the Ilwanls
Club Of Minot to erect building on
the fair grounds which will be the
permanent Kiwanis building and
which will be. utilized as a women's
and young childrens rest room. Such
a building is very important feature
of any large gathering such IS the
fair and the action of the ciuo is a
that is being launched this year.
President c. N. Cox Of the c1u,, has
appointed a committee composed of
Ira l.. Rush, DR.. C. K. Allen and Carl
Utter as a committee to go ahead with
the building. The directors of the
club met Saturday evening and gave
further impetus to the plans. 1t was
decided to erect handsome structure
with an exterior to match the archi-
lecture of the other buildings on the
fair grounds which are to be finished
in stucco and have red roofs. Ar
rangements for the building are al
ready under way.
The Kiwanian motto is ave Build"
and the Minot club intends to make
the motto something more than mere
words. The new enterprise follows
that of fostering the detention hos
pital in Minot which was a Kiwanis
enterprise and which is now per-
manent and valued institution in this
city and county. The rest building
at the fairgrounds will be another
permanent institution and will be a
means of relief to many tired women,
especially mothers with babies and
small children.
Members Of the Rotary club are also
discussing a project to erect Rotary
building on the fair grounds. The
matter has not yet reached the stage
of official action but is being dis
cussed with increasing enthusiasm by
various members and it is expected
it will formally come before the club
soon. President E. A. Shirley says
there is a strong sentiment apparent
in favor of the project. What kind
of building would be erected has not
yet been decided. One suggestion is
that the club, in line with it's policy
of aiding boys work, erect a boys
work headquarters. Another is that
an artistic administration building be
built at the main entrance. No de-
cision has been made, however, and
other suggestions are sought.

BY Saturday of this week the fur
niture store of the DEBORAH Furni-
ture Co. will be ablaze with signs
and banners announcing the greatest
sale in the history Of the store.
1t is the purpose to close out half
of the stock on account of present
day conditions and the size of their
stock they are carrying at this time,
they have engaged the c. E. Baylor
Furniture sales system to hold this
immense sale, and Mr.. Shimmin is
here getting everything ready. The
Baylor sales system are noted for the
greatest of bargain givers and they
specialize in furniture sales only.
Mr.. Shimmin informs US that unless
a merchant is willing to cut the
heart right out of prices his firm
will have nothing to do with the sale
as it must be on the square with
everybody, he also says that this
sock is surely marked at giving
away prices and it will undoubtedly
make fast and furious selling event
as people have been waiting for just
such an opportunity as this and with
house cleaning at hand it is a OPP
portunity seldom seen, the store will
be closed until Saturday morning at
Q a. m. to mark down prices.
This big event will draw buyers
for miles around DEBORAH. For the
benefit of out of town buyers goods
will be delivered free. It will pay
our readers to look over the big
posters and take advantage of the
bargains offered.
1t is our opinion that the sale will
meet with success as the DEBORAH
Furniture Co. have always carried q
high grade line of merchandise and
the way they have sIashed the prices
the stock will sell on: in record time
See what they are going to give
