HAZEL M'KAY IS
new CO. SUPT.

At special meeting of the board
Of county commissioners held on
Thursday of last week elected Miss
Hazel Mckay to- the Office of county
superintendent of schools in the place
of j. A. Haig, who died in California
while holding the office. There were
four other applications for the place,
but after considering all Of them that
cf Miss Mckay was accepted unani-
nously by the board.
Miss Mckay is well qualified for
the place, and the work of the office
will continue without the least fric-
tioE on account of the change in
heads. She is thoroughly familiar
with her new duties, has taken q great
interest in school work all her life,
and is very popular among all who
have contact with her either in a
business or personal way. She is a
graduate of the Devils Lake high
school, having received her diploma
with the 1918 class. The following
fall she entered the State Normal
School at Valley City, and graduated
with honcrs from the institution in
1915. During tie following term she
taught q school in Barnes county, and
taught for five terms in Ramsey
county before receiving her appoint
ment as field deputy in the office
of County Superintendent Of schools
Haig, which position she held until
her appointment by the county board
last week.
The appointment of Miss Mckay
is meeting with approval Of the people
in all parts of the county, and there
is every reason to believe that her
work will be entirely satisfactory to
ell concerned. Upon to the present
time she has not yet announced whet-
her or not she will be a candidate to
succeed herself at the coming pri-
mary election.

DERRICK FARMER
VISITS SON HERE

L. E. Knoke of near Derrick, owner
Of the Buffalo Trail Farm, was in
the city on Thursday and Friday of
last week to visit with his son Law
renee, who is attending the Devils
Lake high school. Mr.. Knoke home
steaded the place on which he now
lives in 1900, and since that time has
increased his holdings until he now
farms 300 acres, and has one of the
best improved farms in the Lake
Region. He is of the progressive
type of men, is hahd worker, and
fellows like that cannot help but pros
per anywhere. Besides grain farm
ing he owns 80 head of pure bred
Shorthorn cattle of the dairy strain,
and when the roads permit he makes
several trips each week to Devils
Lake loaded down with cream which
he delivers to the Cobb plant here.
He told us that he has made some
money here every year in spite of
the dry years, but that he would
discontinue farming entirely if he
was forced to give up his dairy herd.

NO MARRIAGE
PERMITS ISSUED
DURING MARCH

County Judge II. w. Swenson, who
has always taken a greater interest
in the marriage license department.
of his office than he has in any other
part Of his official duties, tells The
World that during the month of
March he had not issued a single IL
cense in spite Of the fact that he had
done everything in his power during
that time to encourage business along
this line. This was probably the only
month that this had happened in Ram
sey county for 20 years or more, and
the judge is wondering why it came
about that it should happen during his
first term. He told us with tears in
his eyes last Tuesday that he would
not be able to stand the strain much
longer, and hoped that young people
or the older ones who were contem-
planting marriage would advance the
date Of the event far enough so he
could get back to normal again, and
cease to worry about what was caus-
ing this abnormal condition. The
judge has always been a very pleas
ant, amiable fellow, very seldom seen
without smile, and all of his friends
could plainly see that there was some
thing worrying him lately, but the
general opinion was that the coming
election was the cause of it. This,
however, isn't the case. Politics new
er worried the judge any, but he adj
mits that the marriage business is
getting on his nerves, and unless there
is something doing within the nexi
few days he would be willing to have
the license department transferred tc
some other county Office where the
chief officer would take less persona!

I. cream SHIP
: ,iIiE,';,,stI i1Iiis:,;,sI'S stI'SINCREA|S-
ING every |: DAY

While visiting the r, f. Cobb Co.'S.
plant in this city one day last week
/ The World editor found that the num-
Der of cream cans being shipped in
each day was increasing at a rapid
rate after sort of a luil during the
past few months owing to cold wealth.
Ell, bad roads and lack Of feed. Not
only are larger shipments coming
in from one Or two localities, but from
every place where farmers have
learned that the only way to have
sure and steady income all the year
round is TO stick to the dairy cows.
Manager N. o. Hefte explained to
US that he always did the biggest
business during the spring and sum
mer months for the reason that it
was customary for most farmers to
milk several times as many cows dur
ing the spring and summer as they do
during the winter. This means that
the number and the size of the cream
checks sent out during the next few
months will be larger than at any
other TIME of the year, and will natu-
rally put into circulation more money
than had bee, the case during the
past few months.
During the wint-r when roads
are bad farmers who live Is to 20
miles away ship their cream by ex-
press to the Cobb plant here, and
get their checks by mail. During the
summer months, however, they in
variably bring the cream cans in
several times a week with cars from
distances up to 10 miles and get
their check at the plant while here.
When they receive their checks by
mail the money is usually spent at
their nearest trading point, but when
they deliver their cream here in per-
son they naturally buy what they
need in Devils Lake on account Of
our larger and more superior stores.
This makes the Cobb plant a much
more valuable asset to the city of
Devils Lake ,uring the spring and
] summer months than it is at other
| times of the year.
Since the Cobb plant was located
here a few years ago the dairy in
dnstry in the Lake region has aobut.
doubled. Farmers who MIXED a few
COWS five years ago have increased
their herd annually until they now
boast Of producing more cream than
they ever did during their life time.
Pure bred cattle are taking the place
of the scrubs, and dairy farming is
more profitable right now than it
ever was before. Beef cattle and
grain went down in price until dur
ing the dry years it his not been pro,
fitable to raise either, but not so with
cream. This product has always brout
a steady and good income for the
labor and investment, and more farm
ers are realizing this as each year
| passes. .t

G|LbERTS0N'S
Two NEPHEWS
Are CRENIATED

E. w. Gilbcrtson returned last Sun
day from points in the east where
he spent the past month visiting
with friends and relatives and look
ing after business matters. His first
stop after he left here was at St..
Cloud where he placed an order for
several carloads of granite, most of
which will be made to his orders and
will be shipped out here. He spent
several days in the Twin Cities look
ing after business matters, and then
went tc Chicago where lie spent some
time visiting thebig factories. He
found that there was practically no
change in. prices in anything i'm the
furniture line since his lest trip with
the exception of rugs, and the mark
ct on these had gone up some on ac-
count Of the weavers' strike. The
strikers have gone back to work, and
it is believed that the price will be
back to normal in a short time. He
also visited his aged father at Jenes-
vile. Wis. and found him in very
poor health. He is 81 years old.
While on this trip Mr.. Gilbcrtson's
blother. G. c. Gilbertson, living near
Janesville, Wis. lost his home and
two children in fire destroyed
the place on Tuesday of lest week.
The children, both boys, Eve years
old and Is months old were in the
house alone at the time while their
parents were out at the barn. When
the fire was noticed Mr.. Gilbertson's
brother rushed into the house to look
for the boys, Tut was ueaEle to find
them and was overcome with smoke
himself. He fell against window
in such a way as to break it and this
gave him some fresh air 30 he re-
vived ard barely escaped with his lif ).
His wife also made an attempt to
rescue the tots and came nca-, losing
her life. The building was buried
down to the foundation. all the con-
tents were destroyed. and both child
rem were cremated. One boy was got
ton out Of the ruins the next morning
while the other was not found until
several days later.

NEW STOKER AT
POWER PLANT

A new Coal stoker was installed at
one of the boilers at the plant of the
Midwest Power Co. in this city last
week, and was placed in operation on
Monday of this week. It is equipped
with motor, works automatically,
and by it's use much coal is saved for
the reason that the doors of the fur
mace are not opened when additional
fuel is placed on the flames. Manager
Dyson Of the plant tells The World
that this is only a starter of the new
equipment that will be added here
during the coming summer, and that
before another year passes other
stokers will be installed under the
other boilers, and other machinery
will also be added.

unique The EEATRE:
IS LEASED BY
WIN, GRE|:E:NLEAF

Robert Mckay, who for some
years has been conducting the Unique
theatre in this city, goes out of busi-
ness temporarily when his lease ex-
pires on April Is, and the building,
which is owned by Herman Shark, will
then be closed for a few weeks while
many new improvements are made to
both the interior and exterior of the
ground floor. A theater will be open
ed in the same building some time in
May under the management Of Will
ard Greenleaf, who during the past
ten years has been employed at the
Grand Theatre, who has leased the
building for a term Of years. After
his case expires Mr.. Mckay expects
to put in some time during the sum-
mer in showing special features at
the city park and during special ev-
ents in other places, and hopes to be
able to get another building to use
for theatre some time before next
fali. He is live wire, understands
his business, and will make good at
anything he undertakes.
MI. Greenleaf has put in much
study and taken a great interest in
the moving picture business during
the time he was employed at the
Grand, and there is no part of it that
he doesn't understand thoroughly. His
experience has taught him just what
class Of features are most in demand
by the people of Devils Lake, he
knows how to advertise them to the
best advantage, and knows how to put
them on the screen so they show up
at their best. He has studied the
wants of the theatre goers of this
city for many years, and he can be de-
pended upon to supply such wants in
every detail and make his theatre the
most popular in the Lage region. He
is prince of a fellow, popular
with everyone, and it has always been
a pleasure to do business with him.
Mr.. Shark is already making ar
rangements to remodel the lower
floor of the building the instant that
Mr.. McKay's lease expires, and is al
ready getting material ready for the
work. Instead of using the old furn-
ace with which to heat the building
he will use heat supplied by the Mid
west Power Co., cushion seats will be
installed, and modern ventilating
system will be put in. The interior
will be redecorated, the stage rear
ranged, as will also be the ticket win
dow and part used as an office. He is
also planning on putting in new
brick front.

The Midwest Power Co., on Mon
day of this week opened up its main
c!.:: office OF i c ground floor Of
it's building on fifth street, and will
hereafter transact all business there
instead Of on the second floor where
the records and accounts were form

years used as the engine room fo1, the
electrical light plant, but since tho
m:.,'ii::1 cry was r,t>ed out he front
Of the building was rebuilt and the
; interior remodeled in such way that
it presents very attractive appearan
ce. Manager Dyson intends to be on

and will be glad to demonstrate any
electrical appliance in the place fo1

RIGHT TO RUM
CAR TO Be DE-
C|DED BY COURT

Just what the states rights are
under the 1921 statue providing that
cars caught while transporting booze
shall be forfeited to the state, will
be decided in district court here with
in short time in the case of the
Stoey and Anderson car which was
taken in March, 1921. At that time c.
E. Storey and Leslie Anderson who
gave their address as Sioux City, Ia,
were arrested while transporting
booze, and on april 1, 1921, entered
pleas Of guilty and received their
sentences. The sentences were serv-
ed and they left the country.
At the time they were arrested
they employed the firm of Flynn,
Traynor & Traynor to look after their
interests, and this firm made the
claim there was balance due them
for their fees. They brought action
in justice court, secured judgment
against Storey and Anderson, attach
ed the car which was in the possess
sion of the sheriff, and advertised it
for sale to satisfy their claim. Before
the sale took place States Attorney
S. w. Thompson secured a restrain
ing order from the district court to
stop proceedings until the court de-
telmined whether the state or the
attorneys had the first lien on the
machine. Later the court allowed the
sale to proceed subject to the final
decision of the courts as to who held
the prior right to the car. The case
was sent to the supreme court for
decision, and the higher tribunal
sent it back to the district court here
for trial.
The trial took place here last week
in district court and testimony was
heard from both sides. Briefs will
now be submitted and decision is
expected within short time. The
final disposition of the case will be
watched with interest all over the
state.

WHEAT GROWERS
MEET AT SOUTHAM

J. Nelson, one of the prominent as
well as prosperous farmers of Nixon
township, while in the city on Friday
of last week, told us about the meeting
of the Wheat Growers held at South
am the day before. He said the meet
ing was attended by a large number
Of representative farmers of the
neighborhood, and that the idea of
pooling wheat was made plain by the
speaker who gave his audience of
what the old marketing system costs
the farmers of Ramsey county each
year. The farmers responded gener-
ously to the call for members in the
pool, and about IL signed up before
leaving for home. The organization
will be perfected here after the
springs work is finished this spring.
Mr.. Nelson always has been a big
booster for every new move for the
benefit of the farmer, and it is need
less to say that he is putting in all
of his spare time now in explaining
the good points in the Wheat Growers
organization to his neighbors.

AUXILIARY TO
MAKE DRIVE FOR
NEW MEMBERS

Another drive for members of the
American Legion Auxiliary is now
on, from the way new members are
now being solicited it would not be
unreasonable to suppose that the pres
ent drive will bring in even more new
members that the former one did. ANY
sister, wife, mother or daughter of an
eS-sevice man is eligible to join, and
there is positively no reason why ev-
cry lady in the city does not do he1
share to make the Auxiliary the big
gest institution of it's kind in the
state. The Auxiliary nearly doubled
its membership at the last drive, and
expects to do fully as we'll now.
