WILL MEET AT MINOT There will, be a regular meeting of the railroad commission at Minot on April 8.

THE TRAIN TWO HOURS LATE AND THEREBY HANGS A STORY OF HOW^ONE M^N^jOCATED IN WILLISTON "Good morning Joe!"—"Morning— little colder this morning"—"Yes, but you ought to have been here seven years ago this morning. About 30 below and blowing to beat the band. I remember it because I had just landed in Williston." The above conversation took place between Clerk of Court Seibert and the Graphic man last Saturday morn ing, March 15th, and then Mr. Seibert related further:—"If it had not been for the east-bound train being late I doubt if I would be here now. I landed here in the morning and begun looking for a job. There was nothing doing and I thought I would buy a ticket home with what money I had before some one touched me for it. I bought the ticket and came back up town to wait for the train. I went into one of the barber shops and was loafing around when a Mr. Field, from my home, came in and told the pro prietor to give me a job, and let me stay a while any way. He finally did, and here I am. I am glad of it too. The very first man I shaved was Jos. Wegley. Guess I will remember that day a good while because I was sort of homesick." But for the train being late the present popular clerk of the district court might now be down in some staid old Indiana town, telling how fast he "beat it" out of the now me tropolis of Western North Dakota.

SAYS "HELLO" SOUNDS "ROUGH" WOULD START CAMPAIGN TO ELIMINATE USE OF WORD THROUGH TELEPHONE There's a man in Williston who would abolish the word "hello" in con nection with a telephone conversation. He says it is absolutely useless and does not express any meaning, be sides sounding "rough." "For instance," he says, "when you call any person on the telephone the reply you usually get is 'hello.' You hardly ever eret a reply like this from an up-to-date telephone exchange. It is usually 'number please,' 'central,' or 'long distance.' Once in a while when when I call a business office or store I get a reply something like this—'Mr. Blank's Store—Mr. Blank or Mr. So and so, speaking.' It saves a lot of time when I get this kind of a reply, and I instantly know that I have the right number. When I pet the 'hello' awffrrml dt-tfw lolher end of«the-line it makes it necessary to ask if it is the party wanted who has answered the phone. Yes, I think I will start an 'Anti-Hello Society' and crusade." Mrs. W. C. Lynch, who has been visiting at her old home in New York state for the past two months or more, returned Monday morning. Mrs. Lynch reports a very enjoyable time among home folks. This was the first time she had been home for a num ber of years. BIG TIME AT PIONEER HALL ASSOCIATION WILL GIVE BIG MASQUERADE ON EVENING.

EASTER Flowers for Easter at Kathers Drug Store, lw-39. Adv. Willlston Graphic WILLISTON, WILLIAMS COUNTY, THURSDAY, MARCH 20,1913. It was because of one of those hap penings over which man has but small control that it was necessary to change the date of the Citizens' In stitute from March 12 and 13 to March 26 and 27 but it seems evi dent now that the Citizens of Willis ton will lose nothing by the postpone ment. It is quite probable that by next week the weather will be such that it will be both easy and pleas ant for townspeople and farmers to turn out for the sessions of the busy two days. The added publicity should bring out many more people. During added time, many people in the city have been thinking out the questions that they intend to ask, though there is still some room in the boxes at the Great Northern Hotel and the Public Library for more questions. Ever since the institute was con templated, it has been the determina tion of the members of the Commer cial Club to make this gathering one that will be rich in results for Willis ton. This can best be done through the cooperation of every citizen who is interested in the welfare of our city. The members of the University who come here to participate in the activi ties of the Institute will find it a ANOTHER BANK FOR WILLISTON FIFTH FINANCIAL INSTITUTION TO ENTER FIELD—CONSOLI DATION TALK parties from St. Paul and Minenapolis, have been prevalent, but nothing defi nite could be learned until the past week. One of the out-of-town par ties who has been here, and vl-.o will be interested in the new enterprise, stated that the bank was an assured fact. This statement, and one to the effect that the larger propor tion of those interested are iocal peo ple, and that a cite had been option ed, furnishes the base of the only in formation available at this rime. The new bank will be a state bank and will probably have a capitalization of from $25,000 to $50,000. See the Fisk hats at Mrs Gahey's. lw-39. Adv.

Field Organizer N. C. Abbott spent part of the day in the city last Fri day going over some of the details of the Institute with members of the local committee. He expressed the hope that any of the local clubs and organizations who desire to hold con ferences with any of the Institute will advise him of taht fact in good sea son. The headquarters of the Insti tute will be at the Great northern Hotel. The university men are here to work and we should see that they are kept busy. Detailed program of two weeks ago will be given in the same order on the postponed dates. It is possible that President Crane may n.-.l be able to be present, but all other ncmbers of the staff will be on hand as an nounced. The Commercial Club will give a big dinner at the Library Hall on the second day and every person inter ested in the institute should make arrangements to atend this luncheon also. JOHN BURKE U. S.
