MRS. A. MCDONALD
PASSES AWAY

At six o'clock this morning at the
home of her daughter in this city, Mrs
A. Mcdonald. At the- time of her
A. FcDonald. At the time of her
death she was 81 years of age, and up
until year ago was hale ard hearty.
She came to this state with her hus-
band and family from Indiana 33
years ago and first settled near Bart
lett, later moving to Crary and then
to Edmore, where she resided up until
three years ago.
AS result of her long residence in
the county she is known far and wide
and is justly entitled to being classed
among the pioneer residents.
To know her was to like her as she
had those qualities which instantly
form and forever hold a friendship.
S e was of a kind and loving disposi-
ton and favorite with the young as
we'll as the older people. She was an
earnest worker for the church and liv-
ed up to its teachings and her belief
in her every day life. In her pass
ing there will be vacant place in her
acquaintance circle that will long hold
the memory of large and true wo-
man.
The funeral will be held from the
E. N. Crary home in this city tomor-
row afternoon at 2:30. All the child
rem are expected here. A more COM
plete obituary will be published next
week.

SEN, K|RKE|DE
DIED MONDAY

News was received in this city yes
terday of the death of Senator A. J.
Kirkeide which occurred at his home
Monday evening. The deceased has
been in rather poor health for many
months, gradually getting weaker in
spite of the best medical attention. At
the time of his death he was about SO
years Of age.
Mr.. Kirkeide has been very promi-
nent in political circles in Benson coun
ty for great many years and has
served two terms in the senate as a
representative of that county. His
acquaintance, however, was not con-
fined to his immediate locality, for he
was known all over the state, and par
ticularilv well in the north half. He
is well known in this city and was a
prominent member Of the Elk lodge.
His name is an honored one wherever
his qualities are known and in his
death this part of the state loses a
valuable man.
The funeral will be held from the
farm home near Churchs Ferry at l
o'clock next Friday afternoon. A
large attendance will be present from
Devils Lake to ray their last regards
to their honored friend.

RATES RAISED

A ten per cent increase in all in
surance rates has been decided upon
at a conference of representatives of
all the insurance companies and has
gone into effect. This raise does not
affect any one part Of the country
but is general all over the United
States.
Some Of the reasons for this in
crease is the tax on the Capital stock
of the companies, the Corporation in
come tax, the tax on Premiums, in
crease in postage rates, the increased
cost of printed supplies and the raise
in wages Of the employees.
Even with the raise of ten per cent
the companies claim that the addition
al cost of doing business is not covered
and that the raise is justifiable one

WOOL AND COTTON
TO Be HIGHER

A travelling salesman for an eastern
cotton and woolen goods house who
had an opportunity to talk to the mill
man just few days before leaving
for this state was a visitor in the city
yesterday, calling on customers. He
says that the North Dakota merchants
is giving his patrons bargains of a
life time in cotton and wool goods
but that the patron, generally, does
not realize it as he is not acquainted
with market conditions. In conversa-
tion with Mr.. Fergan of the New York
store and representative Of the World
he said in part "Don't think that the
time of high prices has come, it has
only started" You have marked and
have on display in your windows here
cotton goods that you are selling for
Is cents that ask % cents wholesale
for today. You have storm serges
in your shelves that are retailing for
less than wholesale prices. and even
if sell you l cannot guarantee de-
livery. The government has taken
over the total wool product and at con.
ference in the near future it will de.
eide what percentage of this will be
tallowed to be made into civilian ap.
parel. Personally, have purchased
for use in my own home tablecloths
cotton goods and sheetings enough K
last me three years. I have laid away
flannels and outing flannels enough
for /. like period. I consider them {
good investment"
That there will be a shortage OF
this class of goods is perhaps mo-
known to the public in general and il
may be well to anticipate the seasons
needs and buy accordingly. The fac
that Devils Lake merchants are sell
ing below the present day cost is an
other proof that they merit their larg'
patronage, and is made possible onl.
by the fact that they saw an opportu
nifty to save the buying public som
money, and so bought a year ago an,
bought heavy.
