MlLLER'S RADIO
PICKS Up MANY
BIC PROGRAMS

Archie Miller's radio at the Grand
Theatre is fast becoming one of the
most interesting contraptions in the
city, and the musical programs, talks,
reports, etc., that it picks up daily out
of the air are almost unbelievable.
Within the past few days Mr.. Miller
has installed a Westinghouse loud
speaker, by the means of which the
noises broadcasted may be heard for
several blocks from the machine, and
there is always crowd listening when
Archie is pulling something out of the
air.
Last Monday evening just as the
secnod show was out a big program
was being broadcasted from the C. N.
4 Colorado National Guard Station
at Denver, Col. "Sweet Alice Ben
Bolt" was being sung. Fully Is peo-
pie coming out of the theatre heard
the radio, and many stayed until the
selection was completed. The World
editor was among the crowd who
heard this selection, and when we take
into consideration the distance we are
located from the broadcasting sta
tion, and the clearness with which the
sounds were heard, we must admit
that Archie has something worth hav-
ing.
On Friday noon of last week during
the editors convention the Manitoba
Free Press at Winnipeg broadcasted
a message to the station here from
the Canadian press through Archie
Miller as president of the Civic &
Commerce Association of Devils Lake
extending its greetings to the mem-
bers of the North Dakota Editorial
Association, and Mr.. Miller conveyed
the message to the press boys. The
same message was picked up by the
radio club at Starkweather.

COST OF HUNT
ING TO bELOWER
THIS SEASON

The cost of hunting this season will
be lower than it has been at any
time since the war started, according
to local people who have taken the
trouble to investigate, while the
number of birds in the country will be
as numerous as ever, especially the
chickens and grouse which have been
increasing very fast since the use of
bird dogs hassbeen prohibited.
Hardware dealers tell US that guns
and ammunition are ten per cent less
than they were last year, and although
the hunting season will not open until
tie morning of Sept. 16, most If the
local dealers have already received
their. fall stock Of guns, shells hunt
ing apparel, etc.
County Auditor Kramer received
his supply Of hunting licenses this
morning, and has already issued sew
eral dozen to people who had their
applications on file. The cost of the
permits this year is $1.50, the same
as it was last year, and the cost Of
hunting without such permits is $25.
There are usually about 1000 of such
licenses sold each year in Ramsey
county, which is about the largest
amount sold in any county in the
state, and the Lake Region has the
reputation of being the best hunt
ing ground for both chickens and
ducks in the entire northwest, Auditor
Kramer asks The World to request
that those desiring licenses this year
apply for same as early in the season
as possible, as he expects to have
about 1000 to write, and it will take
several days to write all Of them
There is only trifle over month be-
fore the the season starts, and al
who can possibly do so should put ir
their application at once in order t
save much grief in the auditors Of
flee during the last few days.

Levy Election
next TUESDAY

A special election will be held in
the Devils Lake School distr.:! on
Tuesday, Arg. Is, for the purpose Of
Of voting on the proposition of whea-
ther or not to increase the levy of the
district Is per cent for the year 1922.
This proposition was voted on at the
regular annual school election held
in June and was voted down by big
majority. Since that time the school
board has signified its intention of
reducing as much as possible, and re-
fused to sign contracts with primary
teachers for the coming year. Several
departments in the high school were
also discontinued, and more would
have been left out were it not for the
fact that contracts with teachers for
the coming year had already been
signed.
The district last year spent much
more money than what it's levy and
appropriation amounted to, and the
board was in hopes that an additional
levy be made this year in order to take
care of running expenses and at the
same time pay part of the deficit Of
the last school year. Only a few
people voted at the election and Of
thise who did vote big majority were
against raising any more money.
Since the election was held and the
general public became acquainted
with the exact condition Of the dis
trict many desired to get another
chance to vote on the additional levy,
but the school board refused to call
such an election until it was petit
toned to do so by more people than
had participated in the last election.
There are plenty of arguments both
for and against the proposed levy.
The school tax in Devils Lake is not
at the present time near as large as
the school tax in any Of the other cities
of the state Of about the same size,
and in order to keep up it's past
standard the board must have finan-
ces or else retrench, wheather the
majority of the voters are for OF
against the increased levy it is hop
ed that every voter gets out and casts
his ballot on Tuesday Of next week
Only small portion of the. voters
expressed their opinion in the mat.
ter at the last election. This elec.
tion will be final, and it is every
voters duty to the community to at
tend the polls and increase the ma.
jority on the side on which he stands.

EDMORE IS HOST
TO THOUSANDS

Thousands of people from Ramsey
and Nelson counties gathered at Ed
more on Friday of last week for the
purpose Of attending the market day
and fair there, and it is needless to
say that the day was thoroughly en-
joyed by all. AS in former celebra-
tions held in that hustling city the
entertainment committee arranged for
something of interest during every
hour of the day, and there wasn't
and idle moment for anyone.
Lynn j. Frazier, nominee for the
office of U. S. Senator, was the prin-
cipal speaker Of the day, and proved
to be a big attraction to the large
numbers of farmers in the Edmore
country who have always admired the
former governor. The Edmore band
consisting of As pieces furnished mu-
sic during the entire day, and it was
real music. Two fast ball games
furnished the amusement for time
in the afternoon, and there were also
some fast running and harness races.
There were % entries in the horse
races which took place on the new half
mile track just constructed.
The day wound up with monster
dance given in the evening under
the auspices of the American Legion.
This was attended by an unusually
large crowd, the biggest kind of
time is reported by all who were pre-
sent.
Editor johnson of the Herald-News
at Edmore, who did everything in
his power to make the day a success,
and who stayed on the job until the
dance was over long after midnight,
drove to Devils Lake the following
day to attend the editors state con-
vention, and in talking to The World
told us that while the crowd present
was not as large as that at the Fourth
of July celebration at Edmore, it was
very close to it, and while it was the
first event of its kind ever held at
Edmore, it proved to be such big
success thatit was planned to hold
one like it every summer in the future.

WORK TO START
ON T0TTEN. ROAD

At the regular weekly luncheon Of
the Kiwanis Club last Tuesday held
at the Grayson hotel, G. o. Russell,
chairman of the Fort Totten road pro-
position, announced that he had been
advised that the Federal Government
had instructed the State Highway
Commission to make a survey Of the
proposed highway across the Indian
reservation, pick out the most feasible
route, and prepare estimates, the to-
tai cost of the project to be borne by
the government. This was welcome
news to many of the Kiwanians who
had put in much hard work toward
getting the thing started.
At the same meeting the final ar
rangement were made for the at
tendance of the local Kiwanians at
the district convention of the Kiwanis
International to be held at Grand
Forks on Aug "a and Is. The local
club will wear uniforms consisting
of huge bathing suits made up of cloth
of the 'loudest colors that can be pro-
cured. These will be worn over the
regular clothing, and If there is no
parade, the Devils Lake bunch will
put on a parade Of its own. It il
planned on sending a 100 per cent
delegation from Devils Lake to the
convention.
Supt. Sauvain delivered very in.
teresting talk to the club at this meet
ing, fully explaining what the Devils
Lake school district is up against in q
financial way at the present time, and
what might be expected in case the
proposed additional levy did not carry
at the special school election to be
held next Tuesday.

a concealed weapon, Oscar G. Hanson,
guard at the Great Northern shops,

district. court by city Magistrate D.

which to apologize, at the same time

requests for harvest laborers every
day, and that up to the present time
has been able to meet all demands
from farmers. Later it might be
more difficult to supply the needed
men, but there are plenty of men to
be had now. He also assured us that
the office would remain open even il
the county or local business men had
to pay the expense Of keeping il
open.
A. Maxon, Of the Maxon Labo,

Harvest General
In Lake Region

Practically all of the wheat in the
Lake region will be ready for har-
vesting this week, though large
amount of the marquis variety was
cut last week. Binders are running
full blast on all farms in this section
of the state, and will continue to be
on the job until the harvest season
is over. There is very little evidence
of black rust in this region, and no
complaints of damage from this
source are heard. There is some red
rust, but this is doing no damage.
