Devils Lake is receiving some un-
desirable notoriety in the approaching
city election, 1t is unfortunate. in
in way, that there resides here one
who is so willing to Islander and libel
his own home as the Individual who
sent to the Minneapolis Journal a
communication IN which it is charged
there is a movement on foot 70 elect a
ticket at the April election which
will favor wide-open" policy
the promiscuous' selling of liquor,
gambling AMI bawdy houses. No
honest person and No one having the
interests Of Devils Lake at heart
would pe guilty of sending out such
unwarranted and wholly uncalled for
statements. So far. there have been
mentioned as candidates for mayor,
Landlord Whitman Of the Sevilla and
Geo. W. Jameson. For aldermen
there are mentioned A. E. Hodgkin-
son, H. Huesgen, John Nimmo, At
to1ney Middaugh and DR.. Davenport.
All are we'll known business men to
whom it would be an insult to init
mate that if elected they would coun-
tenance any such policy. No sane
man would stand for such policy,
and no one short of an imbecile
would suggest such thing. 1t is a
we'll known fact that the sale of H.
quor, the control Of gambling houses,
bawdy souses, etc., are matters en-
tirely within the control of state and
county officials. The mayor and al.
dermen have no power to grant any
such privileges, even were they
so disposed Only last Saturday
five piggers were gathered in by
Sheriff Ruttsn upon warrants pre-
pared by the states attorney. !. Scarce
1y a tenn of court passes that
gamblers are not brought forth
to receive punishment. Therefore,
if an attempt should be made to elect
an administration favorable to the
" wide-open" policy, which, as
matter of fact, is desired by no one
and ,ould not be elected in any event,
is simply waste Of time. The peo-
pie of Devils Lake and Ramsey coun-
ty are for decency, law and order,
and strict and rigid enforcement Of
the law. and it is idiocy to suggest
anything else. In the meantime, the
irresponsible scandal moneer Is Civ
ing Devils Lake some unwa,ranted
and undesirable advertising, which is
resented by every loyal citizen Of the
city. q }~;... ~. ..-.l non .3.,.

A farmer had field which he de-
sired to plant in some sort of crop,
but WASH t sure IN his own mind just
what crop would pay the. best. He
therefore decided to ask the advice of
his neighbors. The first man he laid
the matter before tJld him that Of
course, there was only one sensible
thing to do, and that was to plant the
field IN corn. The next man copsult-
ed tcld him that he would simply be
fooling his time away to plant that
field in corn, that the thing to do
was to put it in oats, as he had a
bunch that it was going to be great
year for oats. The next man told
him that he had been keeping tab on
the oats business for a good many
years and he was satisfied that the
man who put his trust in oats was
sure to go broke, that the thing to do
was to SOW the field to millet. The
next man consulted said that mlllet
was simply no sort Of a crop to raise,
but that if he wanted to make the
most out of the field was to SOW it to
fax. The next man said that fax
was the hardest crop on the ground
that a man could SOW, and that his
opinion was that there was no money
in it anyway, but that if he would
take his advice and SOW the field in
buckwhat he would have a bonanza.
The next man said that in his judg.
ment a man would simply be fool
to plant anything in that field except
sorghum cane. The next man said
that, of course, he could do as he

do was to. plant the field to Ka6l
