FINANCIAL CENTER,

: Devils Lake is a financial center,
Its banks, three in number. are doing
large business, while the building
and loan association has proved. its
worth as a financial institution. The
business as each annual stateme nt
shows has increased yearly. Much of
the financial business of this section
if the state is done in Devils Lake.
Business follows the financial af-
fairs, consequently with this city a
stronghold in a financial way it is
bound to increase its dimensions as a
business center. Such being the case
those who must conduct business here
from other places should be extended
every hospitality. All can help in this
regard and it will help to make Dew
lis Lake still greater as a financial
center.

welfare Of the entire population must

the Searchlight says:
"'The Searchlight wants to again re-
mind all classes of business men and
all others that the city can only hold
its prestige and build onward and up
ward SO long as it considers the well
fare of its entire population, and not
merely that of a few. Unless this be
done financial institutions could not
prosper for any great length of time.

CONSISTENCY.

Just now Postum is coming back at
Golfers. Golfers called the coffee
substitute fake. Post sued for libel.
Golfers won out. Now Post with his
Postum is advertising in every avail
able newspaper in the country. A
goodly portion of the state papers are
accepting the advertising The Grand
Forks Herald and Fargo Forum give
over their. space to Postum advertis-
ing. Surely it can not be fake for
these papers claim distinction for not
advertising anything that appears to
be fake: But this is not half bad,
when it is considered that one of the
state papers, in its editorial columns
denounces v,Pl Postum, but in >. the very
same issue accepts Postum advertis-
ing. In concluding his editorial in
this later paper. referred to. the edi-
tor says: =. : T.. --

the opposite of the EDITORIAL. Would

THE OLD AND NEW,

Last Tuesday evening A. B. Kerlin,
. organizer and first president of the
new commercial club of this city, laid
down the gavel and gave place to W.
II. Horton, chosen by a unanimous
vote Of the club at its annual meeting
at the close of the year, 1910. A word
AS to the part played by Mr.. Kerlin
n the progress of Devils Lake during
the past year and a forecast of the
coming twelve months is not amiss at
this time.
A. B. Kerlin, through whose ener-
Sy, enthusiasm and progressiveness,
the new, vital, go-ahead commercial
organization we have today was made
possible, has played big part in the
wonderful progress of Devils Lake
during the past decade He has always
been found in the midst of whatever
would rebound. to the upbuilding of
the city and has given more lavish
~ Of his time, energy, and keen judg.
ment than perhaps any other single in
dividual, to make Devils Lake the city
it Is today. An organizer of the
Building & Loan Association, Home In.
vestment Company, opera house, and
many other enterprises which have
brought SO much real progress to us,
he leaves the office Of president Of the
commercial club with consciousness
Of duty well done, Of service to- be
proud Of, and the thanks and un.
stinted praise of every business man
who has seen his vigorous work in
this organization. Nc man does things
without eucurring: enmities. Mr.: Ker.
lin has met with obstacles as all men.
do but he hos surmounted them all He
has done thiHgs and done them when
and where they were needed Devils
Lake and the Devils Lake Commercial
club will indeed go far before finding
an executive officer in any public or
, san1zation wfro will attain the results
that 1910 has brought us:
w. H. Horton, new president Of the
Commercial club enters upon the du-
ties Of his new Office with the united
and enthusiastic support of every bus
mess and professional man in the city.
10 better choice could have been made
and no more able executive office
COLD have been selected than Mr.
Horton If the year 1911 goes out as
it comes in it should be the biggest
year in our history. Mr.. Horton, with
his fine business ability, clear-headed
ness, energy, and capacity for getting
every element in the city together FOL
a common cause, has an opportunity tt
render Devils Lake an even greater
service than his predecessors because
of the ncw and increased opportunities
.. which the new year will unfold. TIT

, center of an entire district comprisini

FREE SEED CORN FOR FARMERS!

Until further notice we will give

chief object is to get farmers. to
plant a quarter of an acre in order
to test the experiment. The Mis-
souri, Farmer and Breeder is Mis-
souri's greatest farm and stock pa
per and the subscription price is

Missouri Experiment Station, the
State Board of Agriculture, Veteri-
nary Department, Dairy Depart

stock in Missouri. 1t is edited by
Hon. Geo. B. Ellis, for many years
Secretary of the Missouri State
Board of Agriculture one of the
greatest practical Agricultural au-
thOrities in the country and man

without it.
If you want to get in on our seed

The Hired Mans Graft.

Out in the Oranges of New Jersey,

farm. says the Cincinnati Times

about as expensive a proposition as
owning a yacht. No farm owner
who doesn't live on his place ever

If l could only get good apples
from my farm. There 10 lovely

have to buy my apples"
Her guests told her that she GER
tainly has good taste in the matter
of buying apples. The dish in the
middle of the tables was heaped up
with big, red globes. Her guests
liked them so well that they insist
ed on finding out where they came
from. Mrs. Carr gave them the
address of her grocer. The grocer
said he got them from a middleman
in the Oranges. The guests, having
nothing better to do and owning a
large car that was eating its head
off, road out to the middleman the
next day.

For Loves Sake.

Sometimes am tempted to murmur
That life is fitting away,
With only a round of trifles
Filling each busy day:
busting hooks and corners,
Making the house look fair,
And patiently taking on me
The burden Of wOman's care.
Comforting childish sorrows
And charming the childish heart
With the simple song and story
Told with a mothers art;
Setting the dear home table
And clearing the meal away,
And going on little errandS
In the twilight Of the day.
One day is just like another!
Sewing and piecing well
Little jackets and trousers.
So neatly that none can tell
Where are seams and Jennings.
All! the seamy side of life
Is kept out of sight by the magic
OF many a mother and wife!
And oft when ready to murmur
That life is fitting away,
With the self-same round of duties
Filling each busy day,
1t comes to my spirit sweetly
With the grace of a thought Divine
You are living, toiling for loves sake
And the loving should never re-
pine
You are guiding the little footsteps
In the way they ought to walk;
You are dropping a word for Jesus
In the midst of your household
talk:
Living your life for loves sake
Till the hOmely cares grow sweet
And sacred the self-denial
That is laid at the Masters feet.
