EXPERT PAYS
WORLD COMP.

In last weeks issue of this paper
we carried two-page advertisement
for E. w. Gilbertson, Devils Lakes
wide-awake and progressive furniture
dealer. In some way a copy of this
issue got into the hands Of Mr.. J. w.
White, advertising and publicity man
fir Farewell Ozmum; Kirk & Co.,
wholesale hardware, st. Paul, MINI.
In letter received from him yester-
day Mr.. Gilbertson is complimented
on his enterprise in such forceful ad
vertisement, and at the same time the
letter was word of praise for the
ability Of the ad men employed in the
World Office. The following para
graph from this letter is what he has
to say:
eve have at hand two-page ad-
vertisement from the Devils Lake
World-Inter Ocean and right at the
start we want to congratulate you on
the makeup Of this most attractive
piece Of advertising. This surely
should bring you lots Of business
Your prices are attractive, your goods
are well illustrated and described and
while the writer is not a criterion OF
advertising, the general makeup oa
your ad strikes me as being very
pleasing" " !
This is but one instance Of many n
which we are oomplimented. Only
Monday morning one of the biggest
advertisers in Devils Lake, if not the
biggest, spoke highly of the fine print
that the World gets on it's publication
and also on the typographical correct.
ness and neat general appearance OF
the ads composed in this office. The
very best workmen that we can get are
employed by us and no pains spared tc

city were again called upon to bid
farewell to IS more of Ramsey coun
ty's young men left here that day for
Camp Lewis, Washington, where they
go to fit themselves for over seas ser
vice. As customary they were ban
quoted at the Elk's home at noon,
when. F. T. Cuthbert made a very
nice address to them as regards what
the people at home expect of them and
what they can expect of the epople at
home. The Devils Lake band went 10
the Elks home about a half hour be-
fore train time and there led the pro-
cession that escorted them to their
train. Following the band were the
Boy Scout organization in full uni
form in charge of Scout Masters Ed.
Elliott and james Stenson. They
are surely fine bunch Of American
youngsters and are fast learning mill
tary tactics and drill.
The band furnished some exception
ally fine and appropriate numbers for
the occasion, among them being GOV
er There" "Battle Song Of Liberty" ,
"Kahki Bill, y "E Pluribus Unum," and
several of the patriotic selections. The
people Of this city can well feel proud
OF, their band for many outsiders who
were in the city that day were heard
to make remarks about the fine band
we have. The boys are working hard
and are making exceptionally fine pro-
gress.
AS the train left the station it con-
tanned in addition to he Ramsey coun-
ty coach, one coach Of Nelson county
boys and one for the boys from Steele
county. Many an eye was wet with
tears, when the band played "The Star
Spangled Banner" as the train slowly
rolled from the depot and the moth
ers and fathers saw their loved ones
started on the journey which will ev-
ertually land them in France to battle
BY the side Of their French and British
Allies in the fight for the liberty Of
the world.

CONTROL OF COFFEE.

Nothing has happened yet, visible
TO the consumer of coffee, since the an-
nouncement the other day that the gov
ernmcnt was about To take control of that
fragrant product, giving 1t over To the
sugar control department of the Food
Administration. II is not exactly clear
to ordinary comprehension, indeed, why
IL should be so suddenly be regarded as
vitally necessary to the winning OF the
war for the government To put its hands
on coffee There is no shortage, at any
rate, and so no need for conservation.
Even the armies cannot begin To exhaust
the supply.
The announcement mentioned some
thing about the desirabilty OF conserving
ship space, and of course, II coffee uses
vessels that are needed for more essential
cargoes that Is Il sufficient explanation.
But considering TINT throughout the
period of scarcity of tonnage Ia handle
the war traffic coffee has been transported
in such liberal quantities that there has
been little if any advance in prlce-in
which respect II stands alone among
products of general consumptiou-it is
passing strange that, ut this time, with
increasing facilities and every problem
of commerce developing favorably, coffee
should be subjected to government repi-
