HISTORICAL EXHIBIT AT FEDERATION MEET A unique feature of general inter est to all Lake Region residents, espe cially the pioneers, in connection with the meetings next Tuesday, Wednes day, and Thursday, of the State Feder ation of Woman's Clubs, will be an historical exhibit of family and per sonal heirlooms, curios, and articles illustrative of the early history of this region. Many of these relics, are of price less value having been handed down from generation to generation, and are mute reminders of the privations and struggles, and early achievements of loved ones who have long since gone before-. Among the valuable articles to be loaned the exhibit which will be held at the library of the Presbyterian Church, are books, laces, jewelry, pic tures, costumes, embroideries, spining Wheels, candles, and an exceptionally fine collection of beads and Indian handicraft kindly loaned by Mrs. John Haslam of Fort Totten.

The committee requests that in hon or of the Federation, the merchants of our city decorate their windows dur ing next week for the instruction and entertainment of the delegates and general public. They suggest that re lics and pictures of the Dakotas be shown, each window to present rather a complete story of Indian or pioneer life, and war windows of the Civil, Spanish and World Wars, and other •windows devoted to pictures of early ^settlers, their homes, and the pub lic institutions of the early territorial and state history. Relics brought from .foreign shores, and the early American (.colonies will reveal the wide diversity .of places from which the original set tiers of Devils Lake and vicinity gath ered themselves. Mrs. I. Glerum has returned from a •visit at Tower City and Fargo, where she went after attending the state convention of the American Legion Auxiliary held at Valley City last week. Mrs. L. M. Ellis is enjoying a visit from her old school friend, Miss Mat hews of Glendale, Cal., who arrived here last week for a week's stay a' the Ellis home. Dr. Romig Moves In From Farm Dr. H. G. Romig and family, who resided during the summer on their farm south of the city between here and Lakewood, have broken up house keeping there, and have moved to their residence on seventh street which has just been remodeled and enlarged. The automatic water system which the doctor had installed at his resi dence recently is working fine. A well on his place has been producing as good drinking water as there is to be found in the city, and to this Mr. Romig had connected a pressure tank with an automatic pump which keeps the pressure up at all times of the day and night, and keeps running water in all parts of his residence. The system is working so well that others are planning on installing the same thing in order to get away from using the city water which is un desirable for many purposes. KIWANIS GLEE CLUB TO MEET NEXT FRIDAY At the regular noon luncheon of the Kiwanis Club on Tuesday of this week Rev. Geo. Loftness announced that up to the present time none of the singing members had voluntered to join a glee club which was being pro moted, and that he was calling a meeting of all those whom he knew co,uld ®ing.ff nr« rp v„ when the club will organize and hold regular rehearsals.

C. J. kelly announced that it was just about time for the Kiwanis Club to look for a place for a skating ring this winter, and suggested that the vacant lot on Fourth street be tween Missouri avenue and Pal be leveled off before the ground froze, and be flooded later. He also advised the club that J. J. Burtscher was planning on putting up a new build ing on his lot on Minnewaukan avenue, and was willing to give the old frame building to the boys if they woul move it off the property at no ex pense to him. Mr. Kelly suggested that ,the be accepted and moved onto the lot* mentioned abov and be used there by the skaters. The building could be cut in two, and one part used by the girls and the other by the boys. The idea seemed to be met with much favor by the club members and a committee will be appointed to look into it further. 45 in Boy Scout Training Class The training school for the leaders of the Boy Scouts opened last Fri day evening at the rooms of the Civic Commerce Association with 45 enrolled members, all of whom were very enthusiastic over the work.

In order to bring as many farmers as possible to Devils Lake Saturday for the purpose of attending a dairy meeting to be held that day, and for the further purpose of advertising the National Dairy Exposition to be held at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds during the week of October 7 to 14, Manager Hefte of the Cobb plant decided to put on a new and novel stunt that is bound to prove a winner. Practically all of the busi ness men of Devils Lake are behind Mr. Hefte in his offer, and in order to make the stunt even more attractive are offering to accept checks issued by the Cobb plant on Saturday and pay the farmer an additional cent per pound for his produce, provided he trades out the entire amount of the" check in Devils Lake. This gives the farmer not only more money for his cream or poultry by bringing it to Devils Lake, but gives him a chance to get more merchandise for his check here than he would be able to get anywhere else. The only reservation made by the Cobb plant is that the farmer bring the cream or poultry to Devils Lake in person on Saturday. No premium will be paid for cream or poultry that is shipped in on that day. A full page ad in this issue of The World gives the details of the of fer, and also gives a list of the stores in the city where the Cobb checks will be worth more than the amount of cash they present. Prominent Salva tion Army Man Con ducts Services Here Col. W. S. Baker, divisional com mander of the Salvation Army, for the northern division, conducted services at the Salvation Army hall in Devils Lake last Sunday. The colonel dir ected all of the affairs of the Sal vation Army in France during the war. He was accompanied here by Staff Captain Stretton, the divisional secretary. Anton Marshall, who during the past few years had been working the John Sieverson farm six miles north east of Penn, will dispose of his live stock and farming equipment at public auction on Wednesday of next week, after which he intends to engage in some other line of work. The property to be sold consists of six head of heavy work horses, 11 head of cattle, a com plete line of farming machinery, and household goods. While ordering his auction posters printed Mr. Marshall told us that he had his threshing com pleted, but would be compelled to wait here for a time after his sale in order to haul his grain. At the present time the elevators at Peiui are filled to the brim, and cannot accept any more grain until they are able to get cars to ship some out. W. F. Mobray and wife of near Maza drove to Devils 'lake on Satur day of last week for the purpose of doing some shopping, and while here Mr. Morbay dropped into The World office to get acquainted. He told us he had finished threshing on his own place, and that all of the threshing in his neighborhood would be com- aiiuciowi, »». onuer xi P'e*ed by the middle of this week.

A new grain separator owned by Jim Hunter and H. F. Maney, was en tirely destroyed by fire on Friday evening of last week at the Hunter farm in Grand Harbor township. The separator had been used for thresh ing during the season, and at the close of the season's run had been hauled to the Hunter farm where it had been planned to build a shed over it before winter set in. Before the shed was built it was destroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown. 16 24 bu!hels DEVILS LAKE, NORTH DAKOTA WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1922. the acre, which yield none of the farmers were kick ink about, but what was causing dis content right now was the price at which the grain must be sold. Mr. Mobray raises some live stock and poultry, and told us that were it not for this side line he would have a hard job making ends meet out of what the grain will bring him this year. State Printer, E. M. Crary arrived here last week from Bismarck to spend a short time with his family, and at the same time look after his farming operations in Ramsey county. Mr. Crary owns quite a large amount of land here, and in talking to The World told us that it didn't seem to make much difference how large a crop of grain was raised, the expenses seemed to be just high en ough so there was no profit left for the land owner at the end of the season. Mr. Crary's land produced a grain crop this season which was above the average, but he is still fig uring oat where the interest on his Investment is coming from. Bertsch to Dis continue Farming Peter M. Bersch, who has been farming during the past three years in the vicinity of Devils Lake, and during the past two years worked the F. H. Hyland farm four miles west of the city, has decided to discontinue farm work, ad will on Thursday of next week dispose of his entire farm equipment at public auction, after which he will move to the city to live during the winter. He has not fully made up his mind what he will go into after cleaning up his personal pro perty. His live stock and farm equip ment is very desirable, and should be in big demand by farmers who want the best. The sale will be cried by Auctioneers F. H. Hyland and Orval A. Jones.

THRESHING TO BE COMPLETED IN FOUR DAYS Another four days of favorable weather will see practically all of the threshing i.n Ramsey county complet ed. The threshing in the vicinity of Devils Lake and along the main line of the Great Northern was finished several days ago, but in the north end of the county where there are fewer threshing machines, and where more of the land is cropped it will take a few days longer. Some of the rigs even in the north end of the county are on their last jobs and will pull in for the season this week. Since the ten days of rain during the fore part of the month the finest weather has Veen enjoyed by the threshers, and as each day passed the acreage cleaned up was unusually large. Many elevators in the Lake region were filled as soon as threshing start ed in earnest, and have been unable to accept any more grain until they are able to get cars in which to ship same out. There is a shortage of cars that is felt all over the lake region, and many farmers who have finished threshing and want to sell some of their grain in order to pay some of their obligations are unable to do so.

IS A CRIME TO BURN STRAW PILES Starkweather,. N. D., Sept. 25. To The Devils Lake World: Would it not be a wise thing tc suggest to the farmers of the Lake Region through your valuable paper that they desist from the seneless practice of burning straw. In our farming operations covering more than 1800 acres in Ramsey county, \vc have not burned any straw in 15 years, realizing that the day is not far away when we will be buying the very elements for soil fertility that so many now thoughtlessly burn, But I am thinking of the fuel question as it may develop next winter. True, wheat straw does not make ideal fuel, but should it develop that neither wood nor coal could be purchased at times when the thermometer hovers below zero next winter, with even wheat straw it might be possible to keep from freezing. In the early years of this country many bumed straw for fuel. Very truly, O. P. N. Anderson. Prominent Dairy man Speaks Here Forest Henry of Dover, Minn., a prominent farmer and dairyman of over 30 years' experience, and who is now employed in the publicity depart ment of the National Dairy Exposi tion to be held at the Minnesota state fair grounds during the week of Oct ober 7 to 14, was a visitor in Devils Lake this forenoon and was prevailed upon to give a short talk to the busi ness men of the city at the rooms of the Civic and Commerce Association- Mr. Henry went into the dairy busi ness in Minnesota when this vocation was in its infancy, and has watched the industry grow until now dairying is one of the largest money making lin es listed in that state. He knows from experience why some farmers made a huge success of this industry while others did not do so well at the start, but in his talk here told us that it was not necessary for farmers to take any risk in diversifying, as it was no longer an experiment. He advised against buying high class registered cattle to begin with for the reason that it takes an exper ienced dairyman to properly care for the higher grade of cattle. Instead he said that the average farmer would be much better off in buying a regis tered dairy sire of the breed he intends to go into, and work his grade cows up so as to make them big producers. This will take more time, but has proven the most satisfactory. The best sires may now be purchased for about one-fourth of what they sold at during normal times, and now would be a good time for farmers to get started. The business men of the cities of the Northwest must first take an in terest in dairying and boost for it be fore the farmer gets interested, ac cording to Mr. Henry, and probably the quickest way to interest the farm er in this industry right now would be to send as many people as possible from each community to the National Dairy Exposition. No argument will have nearly as much effect on the farmer or business man to boost for dairying as the national show will. From here Mr. Henry went to Gran ville, where he delivers another talk tonight. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Grasser and daughters Miss Theresa and Mrs. James Orchard and children left this afternoon by car for Finley, N. D., where they will spend a short time visiting at the home of Mrs. J. O' Rourke- This Issue Contains Ten Pages 'Historical Society. DUMBER 39. APPOINTMENT OF FRED SCOn IS COFIRMED The appointment of Fred Scott to the position of postmaster of Devils Lake which was made several weeks ago by President Harding, has been confirmed by the U. S. Senate, and hereafter Mr. Scott will be a full fledged postmaster. Up until the present time he had been acting post master. His term of office started on Sept. 12, and runs for four years. We believe that the appointment of Mr. S( ott to this position will meet with the approval of a big mapority of the patrons of the office here. He served as assistant postmaster during the administration of Mrs, Bloom, and after her resignation has had charge of the office as acting postmaster. It is doubtful if there is a man in the city that is better qualified for the position than Mr. Scott is. He has been connected with the Devils Lake postoffice since 1906, and has been employed in every department of the office. He started in as clerk and worked himself up to the position of assistant postmaster, which place he held until the resignation of Mrs. Bloom on March 1, 1921. He is very accommodating at all times, and has the reputation of going much out of his way in order to give his patrons the best of service. The appointment and its confirma tion were made as a result of the ex amination held on June 13, 1922, at which several local men were examin ed, and at which examination Mr. Scott received the highest standing. Parent- Teachers Approve of Cur few Ordinance At a recent meeting of the Parent Teachers Club of Devils Lake a re solution was adopted asking the city commission to strictly enforce the curfew ordinance during the school term, and copy of same was mailed to the city fathers. Since the passing of the resolution no meeting of the city commissioners has been held, and no action has been taken, but the ord inance is in full force and effect, and there is no reason why it shoul not be enforced. Following is the resolution passed: "We, the parents and teachers of the Parent-Teacher Club of the Wash ington School of the City of Devils Lake, do hereby approve of the prin ciple of the curfew law and ask the city authorities to strictly enforce such curfew law in the city of Devils Lake and we do hereby assure to the said city authorities the hearty co operation of the parents and teachers of this club in the enforcement there of." MRS. ANNA TOLLEFSON Mrs. Anna Tollefson, 80 years old, passed away on Wednesday night of last week at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Vivian Halverson near Penn. The deceased had been making her home with her daughter for a number of years, and was quite well known in that vicinity. She lived a long and useful life. Funeral services were held from the Norwegin Lutheran church last Saturday afternoon at two o'clock. A. V. Haig, Fred Mann and William Bryant left last Sunday evening for Minneapolis for the purpose of at tending the laying of the cornerstone of the Shrine hospital for crippled children, which takes place this week.
