Baseball Teams are victors Over Many
. Teams Beat, Gophers Again. q .


That we have the best baseball team
that has ever been gotten together in
the state Is being demonstrated by
the Devils day after day. ~ They play
ed the Picketts two games at the Forks
and broke even with them. They play
ed Oberon two games and won all: OF
them On the Fourth they met the
famous Gophers and took them into
camp by a score Of z to2. This makes
four straight games that they beat the
niggers and the Devils have put the
rabbit feet of the coons to the bad. AL
}exandria, Minnesota comes for a seri-
;es Of games at the Chautauqua and
they are the fastest team in the state
and It will be "a contest between the
best in North Dakota and Minnesota.
The colored Keystones, a fast bunch
will again try to stop the winning
streak Of the Devils. 4. The ball team
win be record breaker il they con
:tinue to win games during the rest OF
the season as they have in the past. ];

A BAD GUT.

n Fred Newman was the victim of q

Chautauqua !: one day this week. He
dived of the board and il some way,
in coming up, his foot eau ght on
either some glass or a tin in the bot
tom Of the lake and cut q deep ugly
cash clear across the instep. Captain

the accident occurred thoroughly gone

income to be set aside for the purpose
Of keeping the plant in repairs and
as sinking fund to provide for un-
expected contingencies. This makes
it possible for the proposition to be-
financed by the company and the farm-
ers and virtually pay for the stock out
OF the earnings of the mill and the
straw that is grown.
The Commercial club committe, J.
w. Kelly, S. L. Wineman and C. A.
Dodge, in charge of the investigation
OF the standing Of the men who ara
behind the proposition have received
the highest references from the cas-
tern banks and commercial agencies
and they are satisfied that the propo-
sition is one that would be of great
benefit to the city of Devils Lake and
the entire farming interests of the
state. @~s =,
The shortage of raw material for the
manufacture of print paper out OF
wood pulp has caused the Yankee
ingenuity to again come to the front
an provide the way for making it out
of straw and the time is soon coming
when we may expect to see the paper
mills as thick in the straw countries
as the creameries are in the corn
states. The proposition is "up to u.s.
land if we went to- be the pioneers In
the starting of the Industry in this
state now is the time to get busy
and subscribe for as much of the
stock of this company as we can carry.
The men who get in on the ground
floor always get he harvest and this
is chance for the raiser of straw to
reap harvest from a bi-product that
has been wasted in the past. y s:&ys&&s'

PAPER MILL WOULD Hell
.... FARMERS OF. THE STATE.
Means an Additional Income From Product Which is al
. Present Practically Worthless. A Little Boosting
Means Great Industry in this County .,@x.=

The proposition to. establish paper
mill on Sweetwater lake for the pur-
pose Of converting the straw that at
present goes to waste into print paper
is meeting with favor among the peo-
pie and there is little doubt but that
it will be brought to a successful
conclusion. DR.. Pierce who repre-
sents the man promoting the enter
prise stated in an interview that the
company would put up a mill here at
a cost of from 100000 to S25O,OO0
which would consume about 100 tons
Of straw per day and would employ
about eighty people. in the working
force. A mill of this size would pro-
duce about IS tons, of. print paper
each day and the demand for this
product is at present beyond the capar
city Of the mills Of the country and
the price is steadily advancing.
Z, The experience of this community
- ~. =, sg's% . ~
is that the farmer can get about one
ton Of straw per acre and new appli-
ances make 1t possible to bale this pro
duct as it leaves, the separator and at
a cost Of about so cents. As they
pay about $500 for the straw +. o. b.
cars, the farmer would net at least
$1.00 per acre from a product which
at the present time goes to waste, :
The company do not ask the people
of this, section to put up one cent OF
cash as bonus. They ask the far
mers on their stock subscriptions with

CITY | j ! COUNCIL
Council 'E'.lln Meeting Monday Evening Well
81 81 ttend ded. Commission Petition IS
SIS! s! Sent Back. s{S: ~

The meeting Of the city council on
Monday evening was well attended
and the matter Of most interest h was
the petition for an election to find out
whether the people Of I. Devils Lake
wanted to have the commission form
of government or not. This petition is
the one that has been lost, strayed or
stolen for some time and 1t was only
found after It was a sure thing that it
would not confirm to the new law
which went into effect on July 1st.
The city attorney advised the council
that that 1t conficted with the state law
which changed the method Of securing
an election for the purpose set forth
in the petition and 1t was decided to
return to the original signers and ask
them to have another drawn up in
accordance with the law. This was
done and the originators Of the move
|me1lt will have. another drawn up for
submission at the next meeting. .s| J.
The matter of the new theatre came
up, but as there was no application
for permit before the council no ac.
ton was taken. The mayor states
THAT his instructions to the police
would be- to- arrest the proprietors ii
they attempted to open up without a
license and it is understood that this
course will be followed. 5ass., ss.z c.::! =. I:
Various other routine matters were
disposed Of and the body adjourned
to celebrate the Fourth Of July with
the load Of the lost petition off their
minds. ~ 5s :.s5.

feel fine.
This harmless preparation will di-
gest anything you eat and overcome
Il sour, out -of-order stomach before
YOU realize it.
If .our meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill
you. or lays like lump of lead in
your stomach. or if YOU have heart

Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a
little just as soon as YOU can. There
will be no sour risings. no belehing oil
undigested food mixed with acid. no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, Nau-
sea, Debilitating Headaches. Dizzi-

all go. and. besides there will be nc
undigested fcod left over in the stom-

Pape's Diapepsin is certain cure for
out-of-order stomachs. because it pre-
vents fermentation and takes hold OF
your food and digests it just the same
as If your stomach wasn't there.
