PREVENT |''||||| : | n | ROAD DUST
Y With !! THE ROAD ! DRAG

. I 40 T. ID y.
Dust in the road is largely caused
by the breaking up Of the ridges form
ed when the road is wet from stand
ing water. If the road bed is kept
well crowned and smooth water will
run off. The surface will soften up
some in case Of a long rain but it will
not be nearly so bad as wehn there
are ruts which hold the water. The
wheels Of each passing vehicle makes
the rut little deeper. The best way
to keep the road bed smooth is to run
over itwith road drag. This should
be done soon after it rains. The soil
lis then soft so it can be easily scrap
ed. Any projections will be scraped
off and dropped into any depressions.
The harrow also lays the soil down in
layers. It sort of plasters it down,
which makes harder surface than
when the soil is dumped onto the road
bed. The road drag is the most eff
fective dust prevcnter except oilin,
the roads. II

M. ]. Luther Of Sylvia, this state,
was in the city the latter part Of the
week and was bound for the Twin
Cities, where he had a letter from a
local merchant Of his city, to: d jobbinR.
house in the Twin CSities; aiics siff with him
he had catalog Of the jobbing house
which showed the goods and prices,
and while in this city he dropped into
the Gilbertson furniture store, and in
talking with Mr.. 'Gilbertson and look
ing over his stock, and comparing
prices with the jobbing house catalog
h ediscovered that he could do much
better right here in Devils Lake than
in the Twin Cities, and accordingly de-
cided to purchase here. The outcome
was that Mr.. Gilbertson sold him a
large bill Of furniture, and Mr.. Luther
not only saved a trip to the cities but
actually saved his car fare, freight on
the goods, and some money besides.
This is only one of the many instances
that is occurring every week at the
Gilbertson store. If you are thinking
of buying furniture or house furnish
ing goods it will pay you to investi-
gate Gilbertson's before going else
where. He buys in large quantities
and gets the benefit of reduced prices
and is therefore in position to give
you bargains that you cannot get else

Delay in Election.
Bismarck, N. d., April 11.-Gover-
nor Frazier, before leaving tonight for
New York city, where he addresses
meeting Of the Cooper Union Friday
night, announced he would not call a
special election in the First district
to fill the vacancy left by the death Of
Congressman Helgesen, until some
time next week. s
HIS FOURTH TERM
Representative Helgesen was just
about to begin his fourth term in con-
g1ess wesn Is gns stricken e.; With ap. .l,:
Washington hospital the day before
congress convened in extra session
and his forced withdrawal deprived
the Republicans of much needed sup
port to gain control Of the house.
Mr.. Helgesen is survived by three
sons, Herbert Helgesen of Milton, Ell
mer Helgesen of Seattle, Wash, and
Raymond Helgesen of Washington, D.
c., and four daughters, Mrs w. F..
Doherty Of Minot, N. D., and Misses
Lilly, Gladys and Frances of Wash
ington, D. c.
Henry T. Helgesen was born at De-
corah, Iowa, June 26, 1857. His first
business venture was in the grocery
trade at that place and in 1887 he
came to North Dakota, settling first
at Park River, and removing to Mil
ton two years later, where he engaged
for time in the hardware and lum-
Der business, later selling out and
taking farming.
He prospered at this, and at the
| time of his death was the owner Of
1,500 acres Of land.
i Mr.. Helgesen first became promi-
nent in politics in 1887 when he en-
gagged in battle with the so-called
I,Republican machine in Cavalier coun-
ty.
] At the first state election in 1889
he became affiliated with the Pro-
gressive element of the Republican
party, and was elected commissioner
of agriculture. He was reelected to
this office two years later but declined
a third term.
Following his retirement from Of
flee Mr.. Helgesen continued to take
an active part in politics. He was
named as one Of the regents Of the
state university in 1898, and served as
mayor Of Milton. He was one Of the
chief speakers of the Republican party
in the state. {.
He first entered the wider political
arena in 1908, when he was candi-
date for congressman at large. He
was defeated, but two years later in
1910, he again made the race and
was elected. IS.

But the political significance Of tAs
resignation Is seen In other directioua
"Ths Nashville Tennssseesn" interprets 4
a. probably meaning complete disruptiss
Of the German fighting machine. It d
tho first real step In the direction Of n
volt against the Ksiser's policy Of continu.
ing the war when everything Is against
him. It means that the Kaiser's support
by his official family Is going to pieces,
and that tho people are no longer yith
him."
An advance in the power Of the Reichs.
tag and Q step In tho direction Of parlis.
mentary government are seen by several
newspapers. Thus "The st. Louis Post
Dispatch" draws from the resignation
the inference that "the Reichstag, without
constitutional power to hold imperial min
listers to responsibility, is slowly but stead
lily asserting its real power as the only
organized political body IN the government
which represents the people" And it adds
that "the reason is not far to seek. Il
Is the old story Of the growth Of democ-
racy and of popular control Of government.
in all despotisms. The deceptive forms Of
democracy, designed to deceive and lull
the people, assume in time OF storm and
disaster and popular discomfort impOr-
lance and vital power"
"The New Orleans Times-Picayune" o.
fers similar reflections:
"The resignation Of the Minister OF VA
rine and the predicted resignation OF Tie
Chancellor indicate that oceans OF water Ia
passing beneath tho mill OF German politics.
For there was . time, by no means remote,
when neither Admiral Won Capelle nor Dr.
Michaelis would have bothered his head
about the hubbub in the Reichstag'
1.-THE Pittsburgh Dispatch" sees the same
significance in Capellc's resignation; II
writes: 1.-THE all-powerful domination Of
the Kaiser in the government Of the en-
pire Is challenged when his Minister Of
Marine Is forced TO resign because Of the
indignation Of q majority in the Reichstag.
The sacrifice Of Won Capelle shows
that the imperial government understands
the people can be pushed just so far and
that they are getting mighty near the
| limit"

Conserving Leather

The population of Constance, Baden,
has been ordered in a proclamation by the
city administration to go barefooted during
the summer and early spring, because ut
is the patriotic duty of every German not
to use up leather, which is very scarce"
In Bavaria the people wear straw shoes.
Leather shoes cannot be obtained, and
wooden shoes are now too expensive for
the majority Of the population. A pair of
straw shoes, which, of course, are not
weatherproof, costs three marks (75 cents
at the normal rate Of exchange), and IS
very soon worn out.

tag coalition in support of peace, and that
probably the government exaggerated its
Importance precisely to accomplish that
end, by giving the country scare" But
"The Republican" is not wholly skeptical;
it admits a ray Of hope in the admission
that from other reliable sources we know
that the mutiny in the fleet is highly symp-
tomato of temper in Germany which
might rapidly grow, under favorable con-
ditions, into a formidable menace TO Kai-
serism."
1.-THE Providence Journal minimizes the
affair, as follows:
at IL n mistake, however, to hail the Incl
dent at Kicl as a sign that Hohenzollernism
Is losing It's grip The bovine submission Of
the Teutonic masses 70 their Kaiser is not
20 easily to be inspired to defiance of the
authority TO which IL has always so meekly
crooked the knee. Il would be harboring
fallacy almost as dangerous as the hailucina-
ton that Germany is willing to make fair
peace terms if the American people and their
allies we're to depend on German revolution
rather than a German defeat for victory in
the present struggle"

were Something more deep-seated than
discomfort over their food" and then draws
the conclusion that ION the whole we be-
ieve that the mutiny is symptomatic Of
widespread political unrest and that both
its inception and effect are traceable be-
yond the limits of the German naval es-
Enlistment
"The Dallas News" after mentioning
that the docility and obedience Of the Ger
man people has been dinned into our ears
by all writer's about Germany, has this to
add
However this may be, the mutiny In the
navy, the repeated peace offers, the increas-
irg strikes and riots, and the growing bold
ness of the Socialists, are evidences OF a
rapidly increasing discomfort that cannot be
waved aside as the mere sporadic outbursts
of people who arc for the most part ODE
dent and contented."
"The Charleston Is. CO. News and Cou-
rier" sees the Importance of the event in
the fact that at upsets theory which
has been exploited continuously from the
outbreak of the war, the theory that the
German soldier and the German sailor
had been so thoroughly disciplined and was
so absolutely a part of a machine that any
rebellion against authority simply could
not happen"
