Devils Lake is number 125 on the new

Evidently Victor Berger does not
desire to get too many unwieldly irons
in the fire. During the natioal social
list convention in New York declara-
ton was read which stated that "a
privileged few" in this country own
the peoples churches and regulate
their souls" Berger, the unseated u.
S. senator, denounced it as bad poll
tics; the resolution was voted down
by an overwhelming majority.

In Europe the birth rate is increas-
ing. During the past year there have
been 1,363,649 visits by DR.. Stork,
$4,000 more than the number or
deaths. Strange to say there were
many more boys than girls, a way
nature has of making up the great
losses due to the war. Man has &C
cumulated vast debt in dollars but
nature will enable him soon to Ii
quidate this by placing more people
upon the earth to work.
William Cramer and Jerry Cramer,
bothers,A who purchased the H. j
Case and D. Joseph Johnson proper
ties on Lynn avenue a few days ago,
conducted a general store at Plain for
many years. They have sold and are
now retiring to the county seat to en-
joy the sunset of their years, their
families accompanying them. They
are friends of William Jenewein who
resides on the same street.

Every young man and woman who
have an ambition to do things worth
while should mediate on the the life
of William Dean Howells, who died
in New York few days ago. He found
success as a novelist, critic, editor,
poet, dramatist, and essayist. If one
man can make a success in so many
fields is it. not possible for a young
writer to achieve place worth while
in one of the above or in another
place of effort Howells never had he
advantages of university education
yet he was honored with degrees from
Yale, Hazard, Oxford, and Columbia.
He found no royal road, but content
ment in honest work.

The current issue of the Wisconsin
Horticulturalist, an excellent publ
cation devoted to the growing OF
fruits, flowers, land vegetables, con-
tains an illustrated article on the
orchids which bloom each year at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A Reinking.
The orchids, or lady slipper as it
is more commonly known, is becoming
a rare plant in many sections. Both
the yellow and pink species are grown
successfully by Mr.. Reinking. Credit
should be given the son, A. r. Reink-
ing, for his securing many of the
plants and for the cultivation. The ar
ticle was prepared by William Toole. |
