Ra ad SUPPORT THE TEAM Bismarck saw a real article of baseball last evening. It was fast snappy ball and the boys who were responsible and the management behind the team deserve the heartiest co-operation. The place to support the team is at the box- office. That is better than drives or campaigns. It may be necessary to secure some more financial assistance to put. the team on the proper basis, but the amount will be insignificant if the fans willitayn out and fill the:seats behind the home ' plate and along the sidelines. Minot plays two more games in Bismarck and the attendance for the two remaining games should reach the 1200 mark or better for each con- test. . Additional facilities have been added to the grandstand and the games can be witnessed with the greatest comfort. : A hageball team is a fine asset for any town. It ranks with-tHe ‘band, parks and other features of community recreation. When the game is kept clean, and the men behind baseball in Bis- marck assure that it will not become tainted, the people-should show appreciation at the only place that counts—the box office. The crowd Friday evening was a good one, but Bismarck can do better at the two games which are to'be played. ; Get into the game and put Bismarck among the top notchers as a good baseball town and. a supporter of clean sports. _ MILITARY AND: CIVIL SALARIES The salary and allowance income of General Pershing, the ranking officer of the army, is $21,- appeared, remained away 23 years, then came back to you and wanted to start where the two of you left off?

HAS AN IDEA Within the next ten or fifteen years every auto- mobile will produce its own fuel by a still car- ried-on the car and operated by the heat and mo- tion of the motor, said Thomas A. Edison, Jr., son of the famous inventor, in an address at the graduation exercises of the Knights of Columbus free technical school for former service men and women. GH EERE i “For ten years I have been working on:a sub- stitute for oil, a mixture of kerosene and some other ingredient.that will have the combustible qualities of gagoline,” he said. “I believe that mixture will, some day be found. We shall be able to solve the problem by_manufacturing stills for individual cars to distill a combustible mix- ture from crude petroleum and other chemicals while the car is in motion, just as cars generate} electric power while running.” ; Mr. Edison said that it is the ambition of his life to perfect his oil distilation device, and added that a car of average power so equipped will be able to produce not only sufficient fuel to run it- self, but enough valuable by-products to pay for the maintenance of the car. He declared that the invention, when completed and marketable, will probably meet with strong opposition on account your other constant friends? \ ie THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ° ADVENTURES OF THE TWINS '” By Olive Barton Roberts, y 3% ds “Thank you very kindly,” he sald with 2 how: Uf * stranmel i wall at S Alby ttn, \ Lt le | . “That fellow will never get that car Jout of that ditch in this forsaken \place,”. said Pessimist.
