There was time, few months ago,
when houses for rent or for sale were
conspicuous by their absence. When
families were leaving the city for
other places, ewing to the fact that
they were unable to beg, borrow or
rent place in which to live.
However, this condition does not eX-
ist in such great measure today
Houses are more plentiful now than
at any time during the past few years
but this condition may not remain.
Real Estate dealers throughout the
city are continually asking the ques-
tion-Why should man pay a big
rental for house, when for a small
initial cash payment, he can buy
piece of property and pay for it on
the same conditions as paying rent
for a home?
In an effort to further the pur-
chasing Of property, the various real
estate dealers of the city have band
ed together and every Saturday they
are planning to run number Of spc-
cially good bargains IN real estate

ance bureau, the federal board for vo-
cational education and the United
States public health service that the

The legion representatives who met
hare with the heads of the three bu-
reaus to- discuss a plan to combine

sition Of the legion clear, declaring
that it proposed to press for legis-
lation consolidating functions of the
three government agencies and doing
away with long "winded talk about
cooperation and coordination" John
Sherburne Of Boston, member of the
legion committee, admonished the
government conferees that if the pro-
posed consolidation destroyed their
present organizations, "it would SIM

BANK
CLOSED ITS
DOORS mon, f,
Money Stringency Said
/ To Have Been
Cause

The Toxic State bank closed its
doors Saturday and failed to open
for business Monday morning, officials
Of the bank giving as the cause, a
Tightening of the money market par
ticularly in the Toxic neighborhood
where it is said old depositors in the
course Of week withdrew thousands
of dollars.
A failure to realize on securities held
by the bank to meet the exigency caus-
ed by present financial conditions
which are general thruout the state,
it is believed, had much to do with
the closing of the institution.
The officers of the bank were COM
posed of Warren Adams, president,
and former Devils Lake citizen and
former employee of Manns department
store; R. A. Tomlinson, vice president,
and Arthur c. Moon, cashier. DR..
Drew is named in the list of direc-
tors.
General opinion expressed here in
kcated that following a meeting of
S.:ckholders and officers means of
opening would be found. No alarm,
is said, has been spread pointing to
insolvency. On the other hand, fin
anciers, it has been said, declare the
Toxic bank is perfectly sound but
short on cash.

DAY A SUCCESS
Gri fin, Maloney And

Delegates
CREEL MAKES A HIT
All Eyes Centered On
State Meet At
Fargo

Members of the National Wheat
Growers association recently perfect
ed thruout the county, met in session
here Saturday and elected delegates
to attend the state convention now in
progress at Fargo, choosing T. H.
Maloney, Bernt Anderson and e. H.
Griffin. Over a hundred persons
were in attendance at the session, re-
sulting in many new enrollments on
the already large list of members.
Following the election of delegates
to the state meeting, Judge Griffin,
elected the week previously to the
presidency of the organization called
for suggestions as to the recommend
alton of Ramsey county for a state
representative to the national body.
The name of General Creel for the
honor brot a, round of applause to
which the latter responded in an un-
expected manner. The general recit-
ed statistics he has kept personally
on wheat conditions of the country
and urged the need of organization to
gain first hand facts Of crop produc-
ton and the utter lack under present
conditions of any facility for gaining
the truth of supply and demand fig
ures other than thru the channels tn:
today control the market.
In pointing out the ultimate bcne-
fits of the National Wheat Gro':2 :
association General Creel said: 81
movement is not to end with the sa:c
of this years crop. It will take two
years or more to get the full benefit, y
but, he indicated his approval of the
organization in urging membership
and action from every source.
General Creel is credited in many
quarters with being one Of the best
posted men on agriculture and other
governmental affairs in North Dako.
ia, developed thru almost a lifetime
spent in the service of Uncle Sam
in one branch of official duties or an.
other. Another round Of applause
greeted the speaker as he closed. Nc
formal endorsement was directed
however, but indications pointed te
Ramsey voting for its own representa-
tive if there appeared chance of his
election when the delegates from al
parts of the state assembled at Far
go.
This morning all eyes Of grair
growers and business men alike were
centering on Fargo, watching, appar

after Farmer
TRADE BY new
METHODS AGAIN
Municipal Stables Plan
Is Pleasing To The
Ruralites

The Rotary club of Devils Lake is
believed entitled to all credit for in
itiation Of move that may lead to
the city commission erecting munich
pal stables for the housing of teams
belonging to farmers driving to Devils
Lake. A committee composed Of
Hon. J. M. Kelly, Charles Pillsbury
and w. N. Nortz have already con-
ferred with the official board Of gov
ernment of the city on the matter.
Issuance Of a bond is proposed ac-
cording to reports, to raise finances
for the project. Other information
declares business men may proceed
independently along the same lines.
Already the Bovey, Shute & Jack
son company have shed and yard
room for teams, designed for the use
Of patrons of that firm. This con-
cern took the step to care for the
teams Of its customers nearly two
years ago, apparently alive to the fact
that if farmer trade was to be at
tracted to the county seat, it must
have some accommodations while
here.
Several farmers asked for an OPT
nion on the subject when told Of the
contemplated plan of which but few
had heard, were enthusiastic in ex'
pressions of favorable comment.

The first effect Of labor reducing
tactics by capital, some of them COM
PEELED by force Of trade restrictions,
has been directly felt in Devils Lake.
Monday morning handful of mech
anics and Others employed in the
Great Northern railway shops here
were temporarily laid off. The notice
struck home to 8 machinists, 3 ma
chinists' helpers, 2 boiler makers and
2 pipe filters. Rumors are current
Of similar action which will effect
Round house employees and those on
the Rip track gangs as well az 9TH
ers.
Workers in various departments de-
clared that to all outward effects at
least there was just as much work
on hand and being brought into the
shops each day as in months past. So
far as can be learned, no reason for
the laying off of men from the rail-
way forces here is given other than
that an ORDER was received from head
quarters TO curtail expenses.

4. CARLSON
LEAVES
SWEDEN 9Th
Prominent Baker To See
His Mother In The
Old Country

Hedge Carlson, who with the ex-
ception Of the past few months, has
been sole proprietor of Matsons large
wholesale and retail bakery establish
ments Of this city, left this morning
enroute to New York from which port
he will sail for Stockholm, Sweden,
on the 9th. Mr.. Carlson, in making
the announcement of his trip to the
home of his childhood, declared he
was going primarily to visit his moth
er who has been suffering from fail
ing health recently and often express
sed a desire to see her son in far
away North Dakota of the U.S.A.
He will, however, visit many places of
interest in the land from whence he
immigrated to America.
Five years ago Mr.. Carlson, now
known thruout the state as a leading
wholesale bread manufacturer, came
to Devils Lake, entering the employ
of Peter Matson who originated Mat
sons bakery. A year later the en-
ploye purchased the then rapidly
6AO"AAS OuSlIACoo 1llu 1lG1o uCVC1Op0u
it into a plant of considerable means
with a breadbaking capacity of nearly
5000 loaves. In addition to an enor-
nous output Of bread, large line of
fancy pastry and cakes are manufac-
tured for retail trade in the concerns
store on Fourth street. The whole
sale establishment ships it's products
to all parts of the Lake Region.
A few months ago, Stein Johnson
became interested with Mr.. Carlson
in the plant, to directly aid in the
handling Of increased business.
Mrs. Carlson, daughter of the late
Peter Matson, was unable to make
the trip to Sweden owing to the nec-
essity of company in the home fo1
her mother who has resided with the
Carlson's since Mr.. Matson's recent
demise.
Mr.. Carlson expects to return in
about three months, he said just be-
fore leaving this morning.
