BIGGEST ATTRACTION OF THE
Year IN CITY OF DEVILS lake

No public entertainment given in
Devils Lake ever attracted any more
attention that the big play entitled
GO and Get IT. which is being put
on at the Grand Theatre on Friday
of this week by the members of the
American Legion. The members TAX
ing part have diligently rehearsed
their parts enough times SO that all
are in the best of trim to go through
the event like old timers, and in ad-
dition to the regular play there will
be special attractions which will prove
much out of the ordinary.
A drive for the sale Of tickets was
put on last week with the result that
like the last entertainment given by
the boys here there will be hardly
Standing room at the theatre for
those who have not secured reserved
seats beforehand. Tickets were sold
by several committees and buyers were
advised to have them reserved at the
Grand Theatre Monday morning. At
the appointed hour the lobby of the
theatre as well as sidewalk for half
block on either side was lined up
by holders of tickets, and it was only
q short time before all the seats except
those in the balcony were taken.
Reserved seats for the matinee were
placed on sale yesterday afternoon.

ICELAND. 8. !. l ! D. WINS N
SECOND /: ]. DISTRICT
B. B. TOURNEY

At the district basket ball tourna-
ment held here on Friday and Sat-
rrday of last week at the Devils Lake
high school gymnasium the Egeland
team proved the winner, and will take
in the state tournament to take place
at Fargo on March "a and rs. The
final game Of the tournament was
played here Saturday evening be-
tween the Egeland and the Devils
Lake teams, and resulted in final
score of % to 10 in favor of the
visiting team.
The final game was no doubt the
closest and fastest game ever play
ed in the city, and right up to a few
minute before time was called it
was impossible to tell just what team
was likely to win.
The result Of the first game was
Lakota 26 and Rock Lake IA.
In the semi-finals Egeland defeated
Lakota by score of "a to 16, and
Devils Lake defeated Cando by score
of 80 to 10. This left Devils Lake
and Egeland to fight it out for the
district championship.
A large number of rooters from
surroundings cities were present to
help support their teams, and the
number from Egeland was unusually
large. The attendance at all games
i was large, and the games We're all
hard fought and exceedingly inter-
esting.

so Suspicious N. d.
Fires Being Probed

Bismarck, N. D., March 15.-About
so fires in North Dakota, suspected
of being of incendiary origin, are be-
ing investigated by O. T. Haakenson,
assistant state fire marshal. He says
the present time is absolutely the
worst in the fire history of North Da-
kota, rendering it quite probable that
insurance rates on certain classes of
risks may be increased at the next
adjustment, the preliminary survey
for which is about to be begun by the
Fire Underwriters association. In
cendiary fires increase with hard
times, he says. Mr.. Haakenson states
some fires are evidently the work of
demented persons. Many cases of de-
fective wiring, resulting in bad fire
hazards are found, according to the
marshal. Inadequate fire escapes are
frequently found.

That the automobile business here
is picking up as signs Of spring ap-
pear is evidenced by the fact that
Harold Connolly, Ed. Dunn and Dean
Jacobson al have purchased new
Studebaker touring cars from c. D.
Haley, and the machines are now on
hand and will be delivered just as
soon as the roads get in condition so
they can be used out in the country.
MIR. Haley tells us that he has quite
a number of prospects for the pur-
chase of other cars, and that another
half a dozen or more will be going out
as soon as the weather gets so they
can be used.

Carl Lee Of five miles east of the
city the fore part of the week pur-
chased the first tractor sold in Devils
Lake this spring, having gotten a
Titan from c. D. Haley, together with
a set Of P. & o. plows. The outfit
will be taken out to the Lee farm as
soon as the weather permits and af-
ter putting in the crop there this
spring, the tractor and plows will be
shipped to Mr.. Lees farm in Canada
where they will be used for the pur-
pose of breaking up large acreage
OF virgin sod. Mr.. Lee has had con-
siderable experience in operating
tractors, and we opine that his new
outfit will cause him no trouble at all.

penney C0MPA-
NY MAKES UN-
USUAL GROWTH

N. Clausen, manager of the local
J. c. Penney Co., relates to the editor,
the remarkable growth of the Pen
ney Company in it's twenty years of
existence.
The concern, starting in 1902 in
Kemmer, Wyoming, with one store
has grown to its present proportions
of 312 stores handling dry goods,
ready-to-wear, shoes, and clothing,
covering twenty-six states, selling
annually approximately fifty millions
Of dollars.
The foundation upon which the bus
mess is conducted is the Golden Rule.
The practical working of this great
principle. has made possible the
growth of the company, the rapid in
crease in the number of customers,
and consequently the number Of
stores.
Operate Economically
The stores are operated on the prin-
ciple of economy. Economy is prac-
ticed in every way, no delivery sys-
TENS, or credit systems; no officers
salaries and needless expenditures.
All sales are for cash, consequently
there are never uncollectible accounts
for good customers to help pay for.
All savings are shared with the Gus
toner and goods are sold at as low
a price as these economies of manage
ment will permit and yet leave fair
profit as payment for services. There
are no special sales and merchandise
is not marked up to be marked down
later at special sale.
Buying Headquarters in New York
In the beginning the buying for the
stores was done by Mr.. Penney who
had his Office in Salt Lake City, but
the company had grown to such pro-
portions to warrant a buying head
quarters in the New York Market
where buyers could secure the best
the market affords. The skilled buy
ers obtain merchandise at low prices
and their savings are shared with
customers who receive the benefit of
any advantageous purchase.
Local Store Has Made Won
derful Progress
Local store has made wonderful
progress since starting in 1915. Each
year has shown increased sales, and
from the way business has been COM
ing during the first three months of
1922, Mr.. Clausen claims that this
will be the banner year for the store.

MANY STATE
OFFICIALS TO
Be CANDIDATES

DlSWdrcN, IN. ~, Mafcn l5.-ASked
today if he might enter the senatorial
contest in North Dakota in the June
primary, Governor R. A. Nestos au-
thorized the statement that he is not
a candidate and that if he is a candi-
date it will be for reelection as gov
ernor. Many friends of Governor
Nestos have urged that he enter the
campaign for the senatorial nomina-
tion while others have insisted that
he should be named again as candi-
date for governor and stay in that po-
sition until he has carried out the
program of reconstruction of the
states credit and business which was
the basis of his campaign in the re-
call election.
Inquiries Of all officials now in state
offices in the state house brought
forth information to the effect that
virtually all of them either will be
active or receptive candidates for
nomination again.
Steen to Run
State Treasurer John Steen said
that he expected to be candidate for
denomination. If he is candidate
and is elected in the fall election, he
will not be a candidate two years
from now, the law providing that the
state treasurer may serve two consec-
utive terms but not more. Mr.. Steen
lis one of the few independent Off
cials who were nominated over league
candidates in the 1920 primary.
Leaguers Willing
Commissioner of Insurance S. A.
Olsness and State Auditor D. C. Poin-
dexter, Nonpartisans, will accept en-
dorsement from league convention
if the league puts a ticket in the field,
but do not expect to make an active
fight for endorsement by conven-
tion.
Some Uncertain
Secretary Of State Thomas Hall is
not prepared to say at this time
whether or not he will be a candidate
TOR any office. Attorney General
Svienbjorn Johnson, it is known, has
not expected to serve as attorney
general longer than to complete the
term of William Lemke, who was de-
feated in the recall election. Commits
sioner of Agriculture and Labor J.
A. Kitchen will be a candidate for
nomination.
Miss Minnie Nelson, state super
intendent Of public instruction, said
she had been t'too busy to think about
it," Justice L. E. Birdzell of the su-
preme court has authorized the an.
nouncement that he will be candi-
date for denomination and election;
Justice Robinson has indicated that
he might be and Justice Grace declin.
ed to say anything at this time on the
subject.
Railway Commission ..
In addition to these officials, mem
bers Of the railroad commission, three
in number, are to be elected next fall
Frank Milhollan, chairman, of the
commission, said that his attitude was
that he had been selected and endors
ed as candidate by the State FEEDER
alton of Labor, and thus his actor
depended upon that body. If en-
dorsed he will be candidate; if 1.ot
he won't. G. w. Mcdonnell and w
i H. Stutsman were absent from thu
city on railroad commission matters
Some friends Of Mr.. Stutsman have
proposed his candidacy for the su
preme court.

Aneta Man Named
Judge In Nelson

Lakota, N. D., March 15.-The
county commissioners in session here
have appointed VIM. Carr Of Aneta
to fill the office Of probate judge made
vacant by the death of B. A. Hall.
This is the second appointment
made to fill vacancies Of county Of
fees since the first of the year; Harry
Groves being appointed register Of
deeds, to take the place of N. H.
Mork, resigned.
]. G. Jensen, one of the prominent
farmers of near Lawton, came to
Devils Lake on Thursday afternoon
of last week for the purpose of look
ing after some matters pertaining to
district court which was in session
here at that time, and dropped into
The World Office for the purpose Of
getting acquainted with the new pub
Usher. Mr.. Jenson has been a resi-
dent Of Ramsey county for Is years
and told US that he doubted if there
was another place on the face Of the
globe where he could have done as
we'll as he did here. He came here
with practically nothing, and in spite
of the imaginary poor crops and hard
times during the past few years he
has made himself independent finan-
cially. In 1916 he built on his place
a barn that cost him $4,000, and in
1918 he built fine new modern resi-
dence at a cost Of about $4,000, and
has other buildings on the place in
proportion. He always took pride
in the system he used in keeping his
land in the highest state of cultiva-
ton, and was always able to produce
a bigger yield of grain than most Of
the other fellows. He has a fine herd
Of Red Poll cattle, and during the
summer comes here regularly every
few days with a load of cream. He
told US that he was planning on
changing his dairy herd over to Short
horns some time in the near future
in order to have the same breed as
most of the other big dairy men here.
AS successful farmer and a big
booster for the Lake Region Mr.. Jen-
son would be hard to beat, and we
wish there were more like him here.

Since the first of the month the
Lake Region has been favored with
the finest kind of spring weather, and
although the roads in many cases are
almost impossible on account of the
mud, farmers everywhere are getting
ready for springs work, and it would
not surprise US if some seeding Of
wheat was done the latter part Of
the month. Most Of the snow is now

At the first word the sharp little
face disappeared. hut in a moment IT
was back and the bright little eyes
were fixed on Jumper susp!ciously.
| After d long stare the suspicion left

came d TRIM little fellow in a soft
brown coat with white waistcoat and
with white feet and a long, slim tail.
1t was Whitefoot the Wood Mouse,
sometimes called Deer Mouse.
Gracious, Jumper, how you did

Jumper checked. ''Whitefoot. L

1t is true you are smaller, but |

Jumper paused.
is that all?" demanded whitefoot.
Isn't that enough?' retorted
Jumper rather sharply
Crow and Butcher the Shrike and
Sammy Jay in winter, and Buster
Bear and Jimmy Skunk and several
of the Snake family in summer re
piled Whitefoot. 1T seems to me
sometimes as If I needed eyes and
ears all over me. Night and day
there is always some one hunting for
poor little me. And then some folks
wonder why l am so timid. If I were
not SO timid as l am | wouldn't be
alive now; l would have been caught
long ago. Folks may laugh at me for
being so easily frightened. but j don't
care. That is what saves my life
dozen times a day"
Jumper looked interested. II hadn't
thought of that" said he. I'm a very
timid person myself, and sometimes
l have been ashamed of being so east
iy frightened. But come to think of
il, l guess you are right. and the
more timid / am the longer l am

Whitefoot suddenly darted into his
hole. Jumper didn't move, but his
eyes widened with fear. A great
white bird had just alighted on a
stump a short distance away. 1t was
Whitley the Snowy Owl, down from
the Far North. There is another en-
| envy we both forgot" thought Jumper,
and tried not TO shiyer.
