NATIONAL GUARD !.
TO COME HERE
EXPENSES OF TRIP TO WINNIPEG
WOULD BE TOO HEAVY FOR
THE STATE.

The North Dakota National Guard
will not go to Winnipeg as part Of
its annual encampment this year. This
decision was made after conference
between the governor, the adjutant gen
eral and Col. Frame, commander Of the
infantry regiment. at the state capt. :.
The troops will go to the Rock island
military reservation at Devils La (,
this year for an encampment of ten
days, being in camp from July to 16.
The reason given out for the troops
not going to the Canadian fair was
that the expense was too heavy to
be borne by the state out of the mill
tia appropriation. 1t was estimated
almost exactly that the cost of the trip
would be $4,000. Part of this expense
the Canadian railroads were willing to
share, but it was rumored Thursday
evening that the roads on this side of
the line would not do their share.
The National Guard troops, while
Iney would like to nave gone to Wlnnl-
peg, are planning for splendid en-
camnment at Devils Lake. There has
been $4,000 expended on the military
reservation during the past two years
and the camping grounds are now
among the best in the country. The
parade ground has been leveled down
until man standing in the center can
see every portion Of the field. The
trees surrounding the camp have been
thinned out and the underbrush cut
away so that the boys may have a
park wherein to rest during the hours
after drill. The proximity of the Chau.
tauqua grounds gives the militiamen
all opportunity to attend many good
attractions and the annual encampment
Of 1911 will undoubtedly be success
from an educational point of view and
from the viewpoint of a pleasant trip

WEATHER man
TO COME HERE
WILLIS MOORE, DIRECTOR OF THE
UNITED STATES WEATHER BU-
REAu TO SPEAK HERE.

Announcement was made in Wash
ington Monday that Willis Moore, chief
of the United States Weather Bureau
would be in Devils Lake on July 10th
to deliver an address at the Chautau-
qua. While in the state Mr.. Moore will
speak at Fargo during the big fair. Mr..
Moore was persuaded to make the trip
west by Congressman Hanna of Fargo
and the enws is greeted with much en-
thusiasm by Devils Lake people. He
will undoubtedly prove a great drawing
card for the Chautauqua. While here
he will also inspect the local station.
DR.. Moore is one of the foremost
weather men in the entire world and is
at the head of the service in the United
States. His experience in this line of
work makes him pre- eminent as a
speaker on weather conditions, which
are always timely topics to the farmers
of the country.

McGeRREN POSTS HIS FORFEIT
Will Wrestle Doran in Grand Forks on
May 30-Both Men Are Getting
Into Condition.

Grand Forks, May PAP. H. McGur.
rem has sent in his check for 100 large
round ones and it just balances the one
sent in by Ed. Doran short time
since. 1t now looks as though the
much talked-of, much argued wrestling
match between these two will really
come off. The promoters have selected
May 80, Memorial Day, as the best suit
ed for the bout, which will be pulled off
in this city.
Doran has been wrestling grain sacks
for the past two months, getting into
shape to pick up his opponent and
whirl him three or four times on his
head and then gently deposit him on his
back. McGurren has been wrestling
with prescriptions in his drug store at
Crary and in the time when he hash t
been putting up Paris green for some
ones sick horse he has been graphing
with the boys around the neighborhood
So the story runs.
The match has long been looked for
in fact some of the fans have come tc
the conclusion that it is as far distant
as the day Of judgment. But both mcr
have come across with their little wad
of U. S. Coin and have signed articles
to wrestle or forfeit the cash.
The promoters are arranging for sew,
eral first class preliminaries and istend
to put on the best series Of wrestling
matches pulled off here in many long
moons. AS both men state that they
have a large following in their respec.
tive towns, it is highly probable tina.
the match will be witnessed by record
crowd.

HOUSE SHOULD BE
PROPERLY SCREENED
In War Against the Fly This is Most
Important Of All Precautions.

Are you doing anything to make the
world better for your having lived in
it?
God bless the man who first invented
screens. The device that has at once
brought the greatest degree Of person.
al comfort, cleanliness Of household
and individual safety is the door and
window screen. No other invention OF
the last quarter Of century can com
pare with its worth and utility as a
life and health saver, and yet, until re.
Gently, screens were used principally
to exclude the fly and mosquito solely
on the ground Of personal comfort.
Heads of families who are looking
for an investment may be assured of
one that is certain Of enormous returns
through the prevention Of sickness and
maybe death by the early and effective
screening Of every outside door and
window of their home. 1t is much
easier to keep flies out by proper screen
ing than. to get them out once they get
in. Screen your house! Scientists OF
all countries are agreed on one point
that the fly is carrier Of disease germs
therefore, screen your house!
Flies love to feast on filth, and then
get into the house and wipe their feet
on your cake or baby's bottle. Screen
the house! 1t is true they are nature 5
scavengers, but they spread filth and
very often disease in doing their
work; besides it is better to do y, III
own scavengering by keeping clean
than to have the fly do it for you; fcr
not only is the fly a dangerous com
panion, but clean people are beginning
to3 suspect that those who have flies
forabout them are dirty housekeepers
else flies would not be there. If, there
fore, you wish to bear the reputation
of cleanliness in your neighbour ool
be sure that your trash and manure
heaps are frequently removed, and that
your house is properly screened!
