FARMERS CAN HAVE COMMUNITY
MARKET HERE If THEY WANT IT

A community market where farm
ers of the Minot district may dispose
of their products direct to the citizens
of Minot will be a reality within a
few weeks if the farmers of this sec
tion are interested in such an institu-
tion, the Association of Commerce
announced yesterday. City Commits
sioner Otto F. Gross, who has charge
Of the Minot Armory, has been in
touch with the Association and states
that the armory can be used free of
charge either one or two days each
week by the farmers for a communi-
ty market.
~ have informed the Association
of Commerce that the armory is at
the disposal Of the farmers if they
wish to use it for this purpose" Mr.
Gross stated today. "All we will ask
is that the farmers organize SO as
to operate the market along proper
lines"
Officers of the Association of
Commerce state that the matter will
be taken up at the farmers meeting
in the Associations rooms Saturday
afternoon and some sort of plan pro
posed by which the market can be
conducted. Farmers selling farm
products would be enabled to discon-
tinue peddling their products and
could secure stand at the commupi-
ty market without cost to them, it is
stated.
l has been suggested that the farm
ers conduct the market each SatuH-
day for while and if it meets with
success another market day could be
added to the week. Markets Of this

i've for farmers to engage in truck

SMYRNA BOY, DARING AVIATOR,
WRITES LETTERS IN THE SKY
LIEUT.. VIM. c. GOLDSBOROUGH
WELCOMES FRISCO SHRINERS
In Daring Air Stunts He Held the
Crowd In Suspense AS He Loops
The Letters "WelcOme"

Lieut.. William C. Goldsborough, son
of Mrs. Jerry Goldsborough of this
town is becoming one of the best
known aviators of the Pacific Coast.
He is with the United States Aviator
Forces at Crissy Field outside of San
Francisco and is known as one of the
most intrepid stunt flyers in the Army
Air Service. During the past four
years as a member of the border pa
troll and the forest patrol, he has
taken part in numerous stunt ex-
hibitions. Recently he carried out a
successful experiment in night fire
writing at Los Angles. Last week he
welcomed the shriners to San Fran
cisco by tracing "Welcome" letters a
mile long in the sky. Among his wit
nesses was Baynard Fowler, a former
Smyrna boy, living at Oakland, Cal.
The San Francisco Examiner says of
GOldsborough's daring stunt: "Speed-
ing through the air in a Fokker scout
plane from which streamed picture
sque jet of oil smoke, Lieutenant Will
liam c. GOldsborough, Crissy Field
aviator, Wednesday, June 18th, at
noon hour traced on the sky in magic,
though evanescent letters, the words:
Examiner Welcomes Shriners. y
Delighted with the daring exploit of
the intrepid aviator, great crowds
were gathered in Union Square to
witness the exhibition, which failed in
part, however, when the impish ocean
breezes wiped out the "smoke letters
as fast as Lieutenant GOldsborough
. could write" them. Announcing his
approach, the hum of the powerful
motor was heard a moment before
. Lieutenant Goldsborough swept out ol
the north sky at an altitude of 2,OOC
feet, electrically ignited a "smudgt
. box" and began to indite, with zoom:
and loops and hazardous turns, the
message of welcome. Going into al
lmmelmann turn and following it will
a loop, the air scribe proceeded t,
dash off the words-two city block
long-as though he We're but the visi
BILE hand of an invisible giant of jo,
intent on telling the Shriners again
that the earth and the sky of Sal
Francisco is theirs. However tn
little ether imps from the Pacif
ocean were also on the job. Full o
the spirit of fun they blew the letter
away one by one. They simpl,
wouldn't leave the writing where
was. The Fokker scout plane whicl
GOldsbOrough used was a racing shi
carrying a six cylinder Hall-Scot
motor. 1t is the same plane that rec
emily made a record breaking tri
from Los Angeles to Chicago and re
turn, piloted by Capt. Lowell H.Smitl

Saturday was the first of five days
for the bi-annual registration of vot-
ers in this State. Due to the entry
of women into politics, the two regis
tration places in Smyrna were active.

The district falling below the hundred
mark was the newly created district,
namely, the third election district of
the Fifth representative district. This
new district takes in the major por-
ton of the negro population in Dover
being all that part of Dover lying west
of New street and north of LOCKER
man street. One of the assistant reg
istrars in this district is a negro Will
liam Sorden. Out Of probably four OF
five hundred persons in this district

! trict formed a part of the First elec-
tion district of the Fifth Representa-
tive District which two years ago,reg-
istered over 1900 voters. The regis
tIation at the other districts in Dover
on Saturday was as follows: Second
election District of Second Represen.
