three years was janitor at the Lin
coin school in this city, passed away
at local hospital last Saturday mite
after short illness. Mr.. Harkin was
born in Ontario 65 years ago, and
resided there until he reached the age
of rs, when he moved to Larimore,
this state, where he lived until ten
years ago when he got the land feaver
and took up homestead in northern
Saskatchewan. After proving this up
he returned to this state and located
near Pekin five years ago, and three
years ago moved to Devils Lake to
accept the position as janitor of the
Lincoln school, which place he held
up to the time of his death. He
was married, and is survived by his
wife and one daughter. The remains
were removed from the hospital i'm
mediately after death took place
to the Toomey Undertaking Parlors

MANY JOINING
CIVIC ASSN,

A committee consisting of the d.
rectors of the Civic and Commerce
Commission Of Devils Lake has been
at work during the past few weeks
in getting as many members signed
up for the year 1922 as possible, and
A. w. Pape, one of the solicitors, tells
The World that not only have all the
old members signed up willingly, but
number of new ones We're secured
which had not come in before. The
several who are still holding out on
account of poor business and conse-
quent tight money, will all come in
within a very short time, according to
Mr.. Pape, just as soon as they realize
the importance Of the organization and
what a world Of good it will do the
city during the coming year. Hard
times and poor business is absolutely
no reason why a person should stay
out of an organization Of this kind,
according to MI. Fape The associa-
ton is organized for the purpose of
promoting the growth and welfare of
the city, and always has and will con-
tinue to do everything in its power
to get business from a larger terri
tory and thereby liven business up for
everyone, to make things more pleas
ant for every resident of the city, and
to advertise the city and its many ma
tural advantages to non-residents as
an inducenent for them to locate
here and help US boost the city which
is now considered the best for it's size
in the entire northwest. The associa-
ton has already done more for Devils
Lake than all other organizations here
put together, and the city would be
dead until it had an organization of
this kind Everyone will admit that.
During the coming summer Devils
Lake will entertain the members of
at least ten state organizations, which
will hold their annual conventions
here. Most of these were induced to
meet here through efforts of the local
Civic and Commerce Association. If
we had more members and more
boosters there is no reason Why this
number could not be increased to
double that number. By reason of
eur central location, our train con-
nections and excellent hotel accom-
modations Devils Lake should be the
most desirable city in the state for
holding conventions. Fargo and
Grand Forks have an average of 35
conventions annually, and there is no
reason why Devils Lake should not
have at least that number if the pro-
per effort is made to secure them.
Conventions attract large numbers Of
visitors, advertise the city, bring
nice volume of business to local hotels
and business houses, and in every way
help to build up the city.
If we want these conventions it is
up to the Civic and Commerce Asso-
citation to go after them, and the more
members and the more boosters we
have the move conventions we will be
able to land. 1t is up to everyone to
get busy at once, join the association
and then boost. By united effort we
can get most anything within reason
that we go after. We can't sit back
and leave it all to the other fellow.
We have plenty Of good boosters, but
they need your backing. Give it to
them by joining the association

TOTTEN RESIGNS
FROM BOARD

George A. Totten, ST., one of the
members of the Board of Administra-
ton, filed his resignation it'll Gov.
ernor Nestos last Saturday, the same
to take effect on April 80. The delay
in turning over the office was allowed
by the governor in order that MI.
Totem might find for himself some
other work to engage in: Governor
Nestos also indicates that he will
ask the resignation of Chairman Rob-
bert Muir. The Independents will have
control of the board after Totten's
retirement. j. l. Cahill, the third
league member of the board, is still
standing pat, and formal charges
Of malfeasance, ETC., will probably be
brought against Muir.
Mr.. Totten made the following
statement regarding his resignation:
"My reason for resigning are as
follows: In matters of this kind the
governor is both prosecutor and
judge. On the hearing submitted at
the governors hearing he can decide
that there was sufficient cause and
remove the accused officials. Then
these officials are on the outside look
ing in and they are compelled to go
to the courts in order to get rein
stated and to draw their salary in
case the courts find in their favor.
This is very expensive proceeding
also a lengthy one; possibly costing
hundreds if not several thousand dol
lars and lasting over period Of a
year. In the meantime while these
officials are waiting for justice from
the courts their positions will be fill
ed by the governors appointees who
in all probability will remove many
Of the appointees of the board, thus
destroying the organization which the
board has made. Personally, l can
not afford to stand the expense of
such legal proceedings and in the
second place the prospect of such a
legal fight makes the game not worth
the candle. My resignation is not an
admission that the charges are true
Tor | am satisfied that no just cause
" ioltiiA1 1oi my removal.
II am proud of The work which has
been accomplished by the board of
administration and am satisfied that
there. has been no general demand on
the part of the taxpayers for our re-
moval but that the demand has come
from those who are DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning office. | have nothing to
apologize for, having always served
to the best of my ability the best in
terest of the state as I saw them"
Totten was appointed to the board
OF regents in November, 1917, and is
serving on the board of adninistr-
ton under a six year term ending in
July, 1925.
Governor Nestos said that the rea-
son for his acceptance of Totten's
resignation, effective April 80 was in
order to give him reasonable time to
engage in future business. It also
was said that delays incident to re-
moval might have prolonged Totten's
time IN office beyond that
