THE WORLD IS
OUT FOR VOTES
on on NOVEMBER November 2
Making Race To Be-
come Official Paper
of County

In accordance with the state law
which provides for the selection of
an official newspaper in each North
Dakota county by a vote of the cleo
torate, the Devils Lake World, Devils
Lake, has had its name placed on the
ballot by the cou1ty auditor as the
candidate for official paper of Ramsey
county at the general election Nov. 2.
Owned and operated as it is by
many prominent farmers of this
county, each one of whom spends
more than $4,000 every twelve
months, this newspaper represents a
purchasing power of at least $780,
600 annually. These stockholders pa
tronize home business almost ex-
clusively, keeping their money cir
culated locally, and this is n rea-
son the Devils Lake World merits the
support of all fair minded voters.
An Unfettered Press
Another unanswerable reason why
the Devils Lake World your newspap-
er should be chosen official county
publication is because of it's complete
freedom from the corrupt influence
and domination of Big Business, the
curse of the American people at this
critical period in history.
The stockholders, who control the
policy Of this newspaper, are all
common men. Instead of kowtow;ng
and crooking their knees to soulless
corporations and grain gamblers, they
have the industrial democracy point
of view, bow only to the Goddess of
Truth and are doing everything with
in their power to help usher in the
new day when graft and organized
privilege can no longer flaunt the
constitution, make a joke of the De.
clafation of Independence and bring
our institutions into obloauy anc
contempt.
Aside from all commercial con,
siderations, if you are a lover of jus
! tice and freedom, you owe it tt
yourself, your family and the human
race to roll up a tremendous ane
sweeping majority for this publica
ton at the polls election day. Tn,
people Of North Dakota. as we'll a.
these of the entire United States ar
just finishing the first round of
desperate battle for control of econ
omic institutions-the very founda
ton head Of life itself. No weapo,
will be quite so indispensable in tn
succeeding stages of this struggle a
a free, undominated press.
Vote for The Devils Lake Worl
at the election, Nov. 2, and make i
official county paper by an over
| whelming majority. Nothing will pu
quite so large a crimp into the Poi
son Ivy Journalistic Chorus in thi
community as thwarting them in thei
/ efforts to mail the county printing.

.594 CHILDREN PASS
SWIMMING TESTS
Times Learn to Swim" Week
Ranks As One of Greatest
Public Service Features.

The Washington Times taught 5s4
children, between the ages OF six and
twelve, to swim last week. The
Times Learn to Swim" week, which
ended yesterday, and was conducted
by l.. Gordon Leech. manager of the
Tidal Basin BathinI; Beach. ranks as
one OF the greates, public service
features ever held in Washington.
Miss Eta Mackay.t who taught the
Washington children throughout the
week. is Of the opinion that the work
done is her greatest achievement. not
excepting her coaching OF the British
Olympic swimming teaIu and the rec
ord made at Glasgow. Scotland, where
she taught school childrsN' to swim.
Five hundred and ninetY-four chill
dren. who last Monday moSning could
not swim a stroke, successfully passed
the tests yesterday. Thea ewas
large gallery. 1t was enthusiastic.
Applause was spontaneous and whole
hearted when it was realize d that
many of the little tots had to over
come a real dread of the watNr be-
fore they could be taught to SWIM.
To Willis PoTthress, whose red
head shone resplendently as he nelTot-
lated the distance to the near l1rat,
went chief honors. Porthress. who Is
ten years old, outdistanced other boys
in real race. Monday he was
non-swimmer
Miss jeanette Myers, eleven years
old. won the race for girls. Many
heats were run during the tests. Miss
Myers won the fnaL There were
many others worthy of mention. but
these youngsters became almost ex-
perts during the six days.
Practically all youngsters who pass
ed the test were able to swim out to
the ropes. Practically all could ne
gotiate twelve or fifteen strokes.
Their ability now depends upon prac-
tice. AS "A matter of record yester-
days tests will find 594 children re-
ceiving certificates for proficiency in
swimming.
The Washington Times and the
Tidal Basin Bathing Beach cooper
ated in the Learn to Swim" week.
Practically all teaching was done by
Miss Mackay and Aubrey Padgett
who took charge of the youngsters.
The work was supervised by Manager
