Reason Enough.

Most every town, 70 matter how
small, has its noted character to which
it points with either pride or shame.
One small county seat town was the
trading point of the most notorious
prevaricator of the county. The new
clerk in the main dry goods store had
heard tales about the man ever since
his arrival in the town. One day a
modest, quiet old woman came into the
store and bought a large bill of goods
paying for 1t and asking that the
bundles be laid aside until she called
for them. "What name, please| the
dapper clerk asked, with pencil poised
ready to write. When she gave 1er
name the young man caught his breath
with a gulp of surprise, for he had
been waiting on the wife Of the man
She seemed to guess his thoughts for
the color famed into her faded checks
and she said in an apologize tone: i

Mr.. Elliott, when seen n5the Nom

said that the rapidity Of the extension
II the plan was dependent entirely
upon the success of the field workers.
" had expected to have twelve OF
tha. stores in operation BY April !,
nut because of theSawar situation we
may not be able to do 50. We may
have seventy-fve stores inside Of q
year, and We also expect to include
cooperative stores already operating
IN North Dakota. So far we have not
operated outside Of North Dakota"
aWho are the o~fficers?" Mr.. Eloitt
Was asked.
aThat is q matter WI are not max

They are being told Of the whole pro

The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1918-02-07

The first step in the great program
for complete domination Of the Com
mercial field has been under way for
some time, the control Of newspa-
pers being first. The league newspaper
organizers have already launched
many newspapers in. North Dakota
and they propose to establish others.
The eventful result Of the program
is complete domination Of the news
paper field; the control Of the retail
situation, and control Of the banking
industry.
The commercialization Of the pre-.

ed has long been anticipated by lea.

launched is more daring and more gig:

ton and ultimate effect upon thu
whole business life Of North Dakota
than the most pesimistic had dreamed
