STATE HOME FOR ODD FELL 0WS
LODGE IS F! OCAT ED AT Devil s LAKE

AT a meeting of the board of
trustees of the l. o. o. F. lodge held
at Bismarck on Monday of this week
resolution was adopted selecting
Devils Lake as the place in which the
Odd Fellows home will be located.
The only condition provided in the
resolution is that suitable site might
be secured at a reasonable price, and
that there be plenty of good drinking
water. Velva was given the second
choice by the board, and the home
per kind of site and water cannot
be secured here.
Ole Serumgard Of Devils Lake is
one of the members of the board. and
it was mainly through his efforts as
we'll as those of the Civic and Com
merce Commission here that the
home was located in this city. Mostly
every city Of the larger size in the
state made an effort to secure the
home, and many good arguments were
presented to show why the home
should go to other cities. Every de-
tail was gone into by the board, and
Devils Lake was found to be the best
place. everything considered.
The State Grand Lodge of the Odd
Fellows has a building fund cf $751;
500 and an endowment fund of $751;
900. AS much Of this as is necessary
will be used to construct and main
/ tain the home here. At the present
time the lodge has % inmates for
the home, and II Of these are orphan
ed children. The home will be used
to care for and aducate orphaned
children Of members of the lodge,
and also members who have reached
an age when they are unable to look
after themselves.
The local lodge has secured options
on several sites thought to be suit
able here, but within short time
the board Of trustees will visit Devils
Lake and either accept one of these,
or will pick out new one.
The location of the home in Devils
Lake will mean much to the city in
many different ways. Besides caring
for the helpless Odd Fellows it will
be place where members will gather
to hold their meetings, and will be
sort of a general headquarters for
the members of the lodge in the
state.
The following resolution was un-
animously adopted by the board Of
trustees:
Resolved, that Devils Lake be
selected for the location of the Odd
Fellows home, on condition that the
site offered is satisfactory to the
board of trustees both as to price
and location, and that sufficient sup
ply of good, pure drinking water can
be secured at reasonable cost"

Miss Helen Blasky of Fordville were.

SONS OF NORWAY
TO DANCE MAY l6|

Arrangements are now being made
for the big Sons of Norway dance to
be given on the evening of Tuesday,
May 16, at the City Park pavilion,
which will be the biggest and best
event of its kind held here for many
years. At meeting Of the members
held last week committees were ap-
pointed to look after arrangements,
and these committees are now hard
at work looking after every detail,
and all are determined to make the
affair the biggest success of any
dance ever given by this lodge.
The Sons of Norway dances given
each year on the 18th of Nav in
order to celebrate Norway's indepen-
dence day have always been big social
events, and have always been attend
ed by large numbers Of people from
lodges located in other; cities in the
Lake Region. They have always been
looked forward to with no small a.
mount of pleasure by people both in
Devils Lake and other cities, and the
OSoo NASAu VI a CAlAiC was always C1I"
joyed at all of them. This year the
committee was unable to secure the
pavilion for the 18th for the reason
that it had been engaged for that
night, so was compelled to take the
night before rather than disappoint
those who had annually attended
these affairs and had been planning
on the one to begiven this year.
A five piece orchestra will furnish
the music, and large floor COM
mittee will be on the job during the
entire evening to see that all who
come are acquainted with everyone
else. Special attention will be given
to strangers and out Of town people
and The World is assured that no
time, effort or expense is being spar
ed to make this dance one long to be
remembered by all who attend.

DISCUSS STAT
US OF SCOUTS

The status of the Devils Lake Bow
Scout organization was thoroughly
discussed at the rooms of the Civic
and Commerce Association last Mon
day evening, when quite a large num-
ber of residents of the city and mem
bers of the boy scout band met with
c. N. Meserve Of Minneapolis, region
al director of the Boy Scouts of Am
erica.
Mr.. Meserve made a short talk Of
fering some suggestions, and his talk
was followed by talks of business men
present. The object of the meeting
was to ascertain if it would be adj
visable to first organize first class
council, and this matter was gone into
quite thoroughly, but it seemed that
a big majority Of those present as
we'll as the band members themselves
were very much in favor of keeping
the identity of the band where it is
now, and would not be in favor of do
ing anything to mar the big progress
the boys have made since their or
ganization was perfected. If the first
class council would be for their benefit
they were for it, but would rather
do nothing until they fully understand
the proposition. Another meeting will
be held in about two weeks, when
it is believed that the directors of
the scouts as we'll as the scouts them
selves will have familiarized them
selves with the workings Of a first
class council, and at that time the
proposition will be either accepted
or rejected.

MANN LEAVES ON
SPEAKING TOUR

We doubt if there is another speak
er in the country that is in more
constant demand than is Fred p.
Mann of this city, whose addresses on
advertising matters are published in
more newspapers throughout the
country than are the talks given by
any other man that we know of. On
account of this the city of Devils
Lake is getting more publicly thru
out the: country than could be obtained
in any other manner, and all without
any expense to us, and simply be-
cause we are fortunate enough to
have Mr.. Mann living among us.
Mr.. Mann left this week to make
a series of addresses in the east, and
will be gone 20 days or more. To-
morrow he delivers talk at meet
ing of the National Advertisers at
Chicago. Next Monday talks to the
Rotary at Carlo, ILL.,, at sos in the
