Preparing for Indiana Illinois Cele-
3 bratiOn

G. w. Lingofelt, president Of the
Indiana Illinois Association, was in
Minot last week. He is arranging
to hold a big annual celebration at
Surrey on Feb. II, which is on Sat-
urday, the day before the anniversary
Of the birth of the immortal Lincoln:
A good program is to be rendered
at the school in the afternoon and one
of those famous feeds will be served
at noon by the ladies'. All former
residents Of Illinois and Indiana are
requested to bear this date in mind
and are cordially invited to attend
this gathering.
President Lingofelt announces the
following committees for this gather
ing:
Refreshment: Mrs. D. T. Dierdorff,
chairman, Mrs. G.. w. Lingofelt. Mrs.
VIM. Hadler, Mrs. J. B. Withers and
Mrs. j. J. Larson.

: At the first regular weekly meet
ing in 1922, last week it was quite
evident from the spirit exemplified
that this club is setting out with a
determination to do things this year.
Mr.. H. L. Finke of Berthold, deliver
ed fine talk on the gospel of the
potato. Our friend Henry, is an old
timer of the Berthold country and
sure has the spud business at heart.
Its just such men like him that this
country needs to develop this indus
try, where it can be handled at
profit. Mr.. J. S. Milloy, secretary
Of the Association Of Commerce an
nounced the program planned by the
association for this year, and we
agree that if this program is carried
a busy man, however, Kiwanis is 60
ing to do what it can, thru its active
membership. A move is already on
foot to appoint committee of three
from our club to meet with the as
ISOLATION directors, and not only offer
our assistance, but also to ascertain
what work we may take up and help
them with. Mr.. Will o. Doolittle,
superintendent of Minot Parks and
editor of Parks & Recreation maya
zine, told us how this was being pub
lished bi-monthly in our city, and be-
ing circulated in every city with a
population of 10000 or more both IN
this country and Canada. There, is
quite large sum of money expended
in Minot in this enterprise, besides
giving Minot considerable publicity,
thruout the western hemisphere, its
field of circulation.
President Cox announced that the
Minot Club will observe January 18th,
Instead of noon luncheon we WILL
have a o'clock banquet. Not only
will ladies be invited, but also the
izations, such as the Chamber Of Com
merce, the Rotary, the Town Criers
and similar clubs, together with fit
ting program to be provided by our
Program and Educational committees,
This commentaries the day of the
first official meeting of club under
a Kiwanis charter-a meeting held at
Detroit, Mich, on January 81, 1915.
But before you can build you must
plan, so to run the machinery with
out disturbance. We are inviting the
ladies as guests January 18th, thus
laying a foundation at home, before
we lose entire control to the ladies
like one of our Brotherly Clubs that
we read about in yesterdays paper,
as follows: "The event took on some
thing of the style of 'Gridiron' at:
fair. The Rotarians were treated
to a striking CLOSE up. This was
ladies' night"
Prof. A. Petrucci favored the club
with several violin selections accom-
panied by Mr.. Kelsey at the piano,
which were much enjoyed by the club.
r. R. Rutten was chairman of the
meeting.
" Kiwanians are members Of an or
ganization which boasts to the world
ave Build''. With what bricks do
we build? With the stone Of cooper
alton, with the mortar Of honest ef-
fort, with the cement of enthusiasm,
on the foundation of honor, with the
superstructure of loyalty and helpful
ness-and mutual forebe arance.
Forward in Kiwanis,
e. # Let each heart be thrilled
-~ With the joy of serving
~-. Men who work and build.

John Wallin Once MistOok OlOf Olson
For Deer

Chas Larson, a pioneer settler Of
Ward County, visited the Independent
sanctum last week and referring to
the early days when the pioneers shot
deer along Mouse river, recalled how
Olof A. Olson came near being shot
by John Wallin. Olof had hard
time getting close enough to deer to
get good shot, so crawled into a
deer skin and crawled through the
WaIIin was out hunting and saw Mr..
Olson. Thinking he was deer he
leveled his gun, took careful aim and
just as he was about to pull the trig-
ger, he saw pair of feet sticking out
from under the deer hide.

CAUSE ron WORRY

There was man
And all his life,
He'd worked in shipyard;
And he had baby
And it was going to be christened.
And for week
He couldn't sleep nights
Because he was worried,
For fear the minister
Would hurt the baby
When he hit 1T with the bottle.

forming Farmer Tells How He Made
10 s~ Success

Peder K. Petersen, prosperous
forming Township farmer, was a Mi
not visitor recently. Mr.. Petersen
is one of the most successful farmers
in Ward county and by hard work
and close figuring has built up one
OF the finest farm homes in this Sec
ton of the state. He says there is
no particular secret in successful
farming. It just comes about thru
working hard and doing the proper
thing at the proper time. For in
stance, he always plans on getting
his wheat in ground early. He has
learned that one year with another.
the early wheat pays best because it
gets out Of the way of the rust and
the dry hot weather that usually
comes in the latter part Of July: His
farm might be considered billy, but
the soil in the hills will usually pro-
duce better crops than the level pra-
land deep, is careful to get all the
rocks off, and as he owns a small
threshing machine of his own, he al
ways gets his threshing out of the
way early in the fall 50 that he can
always get as much fall blowing done
as he desires. Mr.. Petersen farmed
in Minnesota before he came to Ward
county. He had hard time in Min
nesota and for several years was un-
&ble to pay his debts promptly. He
says he had established quite repu-
tafion for being man who was slow
to pay his debts, finally he determin-
ed one day to 70 to the bank and
borrow money if possible to pay up all
Of hirE outstanding obligations. In
that way, he owed no one but the bank
and then woa1d not rest until he had
gradually Whitfield down his note at
the bank, finally paying It al up.
Things seemed to come his way. Mr..
Petersen says he has noticed certain
men who seemed to take delight in
going into debt as much as possible.
spending their money for other things
instead Of wipfng out their obliga-
tions. II simply cannot rest we'll
when I am owing anyone. There's
q way Of getting out of debt and Of
keeping out Of debt # one just makes
up his mind" Mr.. Petersen said. He
owns 700 acres Of land, recently buy
ing 200 acres that furnished him $50
loads Of fine hay this year. He keeps
quite a large number of cattle.

more critical than Arthur Pryor and
he has an eye like a dead fish for
the musician who slurs a note or
makes the slightest mistake. Mr..
Humphreys says he never imagined
that any one could play trombone
like Pryor does. Mr.. Humphreys
has appeared in a trombone sextette,
Mr.. Pryor being one of the musicians.
His many Minot friends will be inter-
ested in learning of his success.
Mr.. Humphreys writes that there's

was told by the merchant: august,
we cannot extend credit to you after

August was told: august, we can't

he met the coal dealer, he was told,
august, we will have to have cash

August went home and wrote in bold
letters on the front of his barn:

ter medicine is becAuse you are q
Nonpartisan and used to having Bit
ter feeling about your neighbors. That
is why the Doctor gives you such
bitter medicine" When the physi-
clan called again, the sick lady said to
him: "Say, Dr.. you better change

"Why?" interjected the surprised
physician.
"Well, said the sick lady, II would

Jack Jones was penalized for

Soft Coal This Winter Only

Mayor Hylan has asked that New
Workers make all possible use Of
substitutes for anthracite coal in or
der to forestall famine conditions
in that fuel. 1t is an entirely proper
request, obedience to which is die
tated by intelligent self-interest.
Yet we hope that this necessary
expedient viii maintain in clear
view its temporary character. We
emphaticaIly do not wish New York
to become soot-laden community
like some Of the large bituminous
tiles of the West. People who
have not lived under the burden OF
soft-coal smoke cannot appreciate
its damage to a towns beauty,
comfort and health. They do not
know the cloud Of depression that it
throws over life; how it kills a city's
trees and greenery; how il reduces
beautiful buildings to a drab
monotone Of dirt.
New York this winter must burn
soft coal and other anthracite sub
stitutes TO meet a shortage. That
is certain. But New York for It's
own sake should regard this step as
a measure Of strike defense and not
as a permanent policy.

America and the Turk

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Is II altogether beyond hope
that America will help stop the raven
ings Of the Turki We fought the Ger
mans for violating one treaty and for
two campaigns in which the laws Of
war we're disregarded. But the Turk
has entered into treaty more than
twenty times not to do what he Is
doing now and has been doing for gem
erations.
Let him not cite "Greek atrocities"
Almost no such have been authenti-
Gated. Any there were came as repri-
sails for previous massacres by the
Turk and we're included in one brief
campaign. But Turkey has no history
since 1865 except treaty breaking and
butehery. Not Smyrna alone, or Ar
menla, but Pontus, Mesopotamia and
Thraee are full Of the graves Of Turk
ish massacre.
It is a good time 70 look up United
States history and recall what Jsffer-
son did 70 Tunis and Tripoli. Tripoli
was further from America then than
Turkey is now.
And instead Of sending all our "re-
lief" to the East, might no, Congress
make an exception TO our limitation on
immigrants and let into our country
some Of these refugeesi True, they
speak a different language, but they
are an industrious and thrifty people.
II Is for this and their spirit Of inde-
pendence that the Turk hates them.
Our churches would take hold and our
public schools. and We can "sssimi-
late" a gOodly number Of them II Con-
gress will give Us the chance.

The Law and the Child

More honored IN the breach than
in the observance has been the law
which declares that excluding a
child from an apartment house Is
against the peace and dignity Of
the State Of New York and con-
trary to the statutes in such cases
made and provided. For many years
certain landlords on one pretext or
another have managed TO keep chill
dren out Of their apartment houses
and tenements. Parents have COM
planned and complied or found
shelter elsewhere, but none Of them
have resorted 70 the law.
Now, however, comes a woman to
a Yonkers court TO insist upon her
right TO move into a house in which
she had leased n fat, bringing all
her Ave children with her. The fiat,
she says, had been promised her,
but on the discovery that she had
family the promise was With
drawn.
The case, which viii be heard
Saturday, will perhaps establish a
precedent. In the present housing
shortage the limiting Of tenancy
even Of a few tenement and apart
ment houses to families consisting
Of man and wife tends grievously
10 overcrowd the houses whose land
lords are not so particular.
II the law really has teeth, as
the Yonkers judge appears to be-
lieve, It may be that in the future
parents will not have 70 leave the
children with relatives while house
hunting and smuegle them into the
new home by night after the lease
has been signed and the first months
rent paid down to bind the bargain.

Central Americas Conference

Secretary Hughes's address Of
welcome to the delegates from the
Central American states assembled
in conference in Washington re-
affirms the Administrations belief
in the efficacy Of regional under
standings as method Of settling in
ternational disputes.
This is not the first time the
principle has been applied TO the
Central American republics. Mr..
Hughes in his speech made partic-
ular reference TO the effort in 1907,
which he characterized as a "de-
cisive, forward step" The new at
tempt is in keeping with the spirit
Of the Washington conference which
settled so many questions relating TO
the Far East. In the present in
stance the purpose is 70 set in mo-
tion the machinery for adjusting
those disputes among the Central
American nations which ordinary
diplomacy is unable 70 solve. It in
cludes the recreation Of a Central
American court and If possible the
limitation Of land armament. "Your
purpose" he said 10 the delegates,
"is 20 build on foundations already
laid, TO take account Of changed
conditions in order that you may
apply the ,risdom Of experience in
devising improved methods"
If successful, this new regional
understanding may serve as a prece-
dent for similar and more extended
regional agreements in the Western
Hemisphere. Great as are the pref
udices among the different Latin
American peoples, there are many
interests and many bonds in COM
mon. To stimulate the spirit Of CO.
operation among the nations and
to remove causes Of misunderstand-
ing were the purposes Of the Confer
ence for the Limitation of Armament
last year and are the purposes Of the
present conference. The regional
approach makes possible the elimi-
nation Of many prejudiees which
might otherwise foredoom such a
gathering 10 failure.
