bore baskets of purple lilacs.
The dancers followed walking
through a lane bordered with yellow

little mistakes to the delight of all,
the entire program was a positive joy.
The wealth of color and grace of cos

one of the chief attractions and was
excellently given. The solo and
group dances were beautiful and ef-

DEVILS LAKE NOTES

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 1s.--John
NJ. McDevitt. rs. pioneer resident Of
the Poplar Grove neighborhood, died
late Saturday afternoon at his home
in Grand Harbor as the result of
several attacks of paralysis. He is
by a wife and six children.
Mr.. McDevitt arrived in the Lake
region in a prairie schooner in 1882
and filed on a homestead, later enter
ing the butcher business in Devils
Lake. From Devils Lake he moved

place until a year ago, when he re-
turned to his old home at Grand
Harbor to spend the remainder Of his
life.
The Great Northern and Colonial
hotels here were forced to close their
dining rooms over Sunday on account
of scarcity of help. 1t is doubtful if
the dining rooms will be open on Sun
days for some time unless the labor
situation improves.
A. v. Harris. president of the local
organization Of Railway Shop Crafts,
appointed a member Of the com
mittee to look into the high cost Of
living in this city. Under the new
plan labor will have three 'represen-
tatives on the Investigating commit

housewives two, wholesale establish
ments one, and member at large
will represent the general public.

TEDDY'S RANCH
BOSS TELLS OF.
PIONEER TIMES
Ferris, Bad Land
Companion of T. R.,
Talks in St. Paul.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 19.-Out in
the hills Of western North Dakota it
was quite the custom to guy all
newcomers. particularly those from
the East. And Theodore Roosevelt
was a ~tenderfoot in all but spirit when
he reached Medora in 1883 on his
first quest for buffalo. Yes, they
"guyed" him, too, but not for long.
When the qualities of that man be-
came known he was quickly rewarded
with the confidence and love Of his
fellow p%lainsmen.
Sylvane Ferris, hunting companion
of the Colonel, told the story at the
northwest regional meeting Of the
Roosevelt Memorial association at The
Saint Paul Friday.
Wood Unable to Come.
Major General Leonard Wood was
unable to come to St. Paul for the
meeting, attended by about 100 adj
mirers Of the great American from
points in Minnesota, North and South
Dakota.
Mr.. Ferris related incidents Of
Roosevelt's early days in western
North Dakota; how he got his first
buffalo, a splendid specimen. and lik-
ed the country so we'll he proposed a
partnership with Ferris and his
brother on the ranch. That was the
beginning of a series of pleasant
"reminiscences.
In the course of the morning, Fer
rts net Isadore Nollet Of st. Paul
Park, who owned an adjacent ranch
In Dakota then. and the two of them
recalled many interesting incidents of
Roosevelt's life in the West.

NORTHWESTERN NEWS|
STOCK NOT WHEAT y
is CHIEF PRODUCT
OF SASKATCHEWAN

Regina, Sask., Aug. 19.-The gen.
eral conception that Saskatchewan is
almost an exclusive wheat country is
not true in the light of exact figures.
AS a matter of fact, the revenue
from wheat is not so great as that
from live stock. In 1917, when con-
ditions were mor nearly to the aver
age than in 1913, the returns from
wheat growing in. the province
amounted to. $3.50, 800, 900 and for all
grain crops, to $295, 913,4o0. From
live stock production and live stock
produce, comprising exports Of but
ter, Eggs and poultry, the total returns
were over s3o0,0e0.0 zoe. :.
The general a%daptability of the
province for mixed farming has been
much forwarded by the provincial
governments policy of encouraging
cooperative marketing. Last year in
the marketing of all classes Of farm
produce, Saskatchewan farmers had
a business turnover of sos, O00, 900.
One Of the latest cooperative activi-
ties in the province. is the marketing
of live stock. Although the move
ment is still new, there were thirty
five cooperative associations market
ing their own stock and their total
turnover amounted to $4,160,262.S3.
A movement is now OF foot to ANAL
gamate these shipping associations
into one body, and the next step in
the evolution will no doubt be the
establishment of stockyards and
abattoirS in the larger centers.

DAKOTA'S
MEMORIAL QUOTA
TO BE $37,500

St. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 19.-North
and South Dakota each will have a
quota of $37,500 in the Roosevelt me-
mortal fund, and it Is believed that
in the case Of all Of these three states
the amount apportioned will be ma
terially .oversubscribed and probably
doubled.
No pressure is to be brought to
bear to obtain contributions, however,
and it will not be presented in the
light Of a patriotic duty"
The luncheon given by Mrs. Sever
ance followed the regional meeting
at The st. Paul on Friday, when the
plan Of organization and campaign
was outlined by Harry Blair, national
chairman of the Roosevelt memorial
movement, and others.
A state conference will be held in
st. Paul the first week in September,
when the organization Of Minnesota
cities. towns and counties will be per-
fected.
