North Dakota
Sunshine State!

Oh, what is so rare as a North
Dakota day in January! Marvel
ous," say the merchants, as they
prop their doors wide open for
hours to let in the balmy breeze
and sunshine. Glorious" says
the farmers wife, as she goes out,
with sleeves rolled up, to milk lit
tie bossy standing in the yard SUM-
ming herself and mooing for
handout of potato peelings and
other goodies.
It's just as nice a winter, or
almost as nice as several others
that our old-tiHers can remember;
and the peoplas generally agree
that it's just ~ nice now as it
was last wintef One of our busi-
ness men remembers that on Sun
day, January Gs1921, the wealth
er was just exctly the same as
on Sunday, Jandary 8, 1922. We
are not sure that Mr.. Hovde, the
U. S. Weather observer, will agree
with him, he being of scientific
turn of mind-but science be blow
edits sunshine we're after, and
we don't care whether there are
cirrus or cumalus clouds in the
offing or not.
Therefore, brethren, let us all
join in singing the praises of
North Dakota weather. Let us in
the kindliest spirit possible write
condolences to the widows and or
phans in California, who lost their
husbands and providers in the re-
cent blizzard in that state. Let
us impart into our letters to far
off friends dash of the sunshine
that We now enjoy. Why, even
the chickens are laying eggs in the
old outdoor nests under the he'd
ges and the fuel dealers are busy
sweeping the eobwebs from their
doors and trying to look cheerful.
What better proofs than these can
we give Of natures kindly mood,
when winter sunshine holds sway
in North Dakota.

PROHIBITION

SAYS REV. CASE
SUNDAY SERMON HITS BRASS
TACKS AND CREATES
SENSATION.

Rev. Prentiss Case does not pander
to sensationalism in his sermons, but
that did not prevent his Sunday eve
ming discourse from creating a SEN
sation in Devils Lake. It set peoples
ears tingling, and they are talking
about it on all the street corners and
specializing on what will come next
in the series Of talks on prohibition.
Mr.. Case started out with an out
line Of history of the Eighteenth
amendment and made citations, both
national and local, to prove why pro-
hibition does not prohibit. In the
first place, President Wilson vetoed
the enforcement bill, said Mr.. Case.
Secondly, che placed as Secretary of
State, to sit, in the seat honored by
such. men as Hay, Bryan and Lansing,
the man who was and is now the
lobbyist for the liquor interests, Balm
bridge Colby. AS if that was not
enough, he appointed CDR" Palmer
of Medical Beer" infamy, Attorney
General in charge Of the enforcement
of that law"
Continuing, Mr.. Case said in part;

BOY SCOUTS ELECT OFFICERS
SCOUT Band IS GREATEST
oF|TS KIND IN THE WEST

The annual meeting of Devils Lake
Boy Scouts and Scout Band took place
at the Federal Building, in the U. S.
District Court rooms Sunday after
noon.
There were fifty boys in their seats
when the meeting was called to order
by President Silver Serumgard,. nearly
all belonging to the first band, Of
which all members were present but
one.
Mr.. Serumgard was able to report
that the band was in excellent condi-
ton, all bills being paid and the or
ganization having 5000 to the good,
partly in cash and part due for serv-
ices not yet paid. An auditing COM
mittee consisting of Tom Lowry,
Robert Serumgard, Harold Kelly,
Evan Shell and one other member
whose name we did not learn, exa-
mined the books and found every
thing in apple pie order.
The board of directors elected for
the year ahead were C. j. Kelly, Har-
ry Kneeshaw, J. D. Kearns, Ed.
johnson and Silver Serumgard. Mr..
Weimer the musical director, who
was also reelected, had to decline
membership OF the board for the rea-
son that his time is so largely taken
up with his regular duties. The new
board organized by eledting Silver
Serumgard president, Harry Knee
shaw secretary, Ed. johnson treas
urer.
The next concert to be given by the
Boy Scout band will be on the birth
day of ''the bard Of Avon," Robert
Burns, January 25th. The Scotch
men of the city have taken hold Of
the proposition in earnest and are
planning to give distinctively Scotch
program on that occasion. DR.. Nc
Intosh has secured a Scotch piper
from Winnipeg. James Simpson Of
Ray, N. D., Scotch dancer, and
Sandy Cranston of Antler, who has
been, called the "Harry Lauder Of
the West" will be here to make
merry and help sound the "pjbroch Of
iDonuil Dhu." 81 III
The Boy Scouts now playing band
instruments number 80, of whom 63
have qualified for membership i'll the
first band. The boys showed their
proficiency in sight reading when Mr..
Weimer passed out the new books and
they played new and difficult piece
in almost concert style.
The Boy Scout Band is perhaps the
greatest community advertisement
that Devils Lake possesses. It is an
institution representing youth, CO.
operation and enthusiasm, to which
all Of us are able to point with pride
and say, ut belongs to our commun-
| ity."

More than eighty members were
present at the meeting and joint in

held in the Odd Fellows hall last Fri
day evening. Mrs. ]. M. Thompson,
retiring president of the Woman'k

exquisite necklace of pearls by Mrs.

tion, in appreciation of her untiring
efforts to carry forward the objects
of the order, and its upbuilding dur
ing her three successive terms as
president. Without a doubt the past
three years, under the leadership of
Mrs. Thompson, have shown more re-
suits and more steps taken toward the
big things in the order than any three
years in the history of the local Corps,
and the only one that has held the
Office for three successive years. The
officers of the Corps, who have worked
with Mrs. Thompson, presented her
with a gold past presidents pin, the
emblem of the order, as slight token
indeed of their appreciation of her
extended courtesies to the officers
working under her command, and her
willingness to work for and with them
Mrs. Duell presented the pin.

T. r. Trail Boosters
to Rugby Jan. 1lth

The North Dakota Division of the
Theodore Roosevelt international
Highway association will hold it's
third annual convention at Rugby,
on Wednesday, Jan. 11th.
A bulletin issued by this associa-.
tion urges upon every community
through which, the T.. R. Trail passes
to be represented at. the meeting.
We find the following interesting
data in the bulletin:
"The Roosevelt Highway, as far as
North Dakota was concerned, was
born at Williston, March 4th, 1920,
at meeting of Montana and North
Dakota highway enthusiasts. Under
the able leadership Of Will E. Holbein
Of Minot, now executive secretary of
the North Dakota State Good Roads
Association, the first year of this
highway was one of distinguished
achievements. The trail was marked
from Devils Lake west to the Montana
state line; many local organizations
were perfected, information head
quarters were established and a
strong sentiment built up for the
highway.
"The marking of the trial was COM
pleted this summer from Devils Lake
to Grand Forks, and changes were
made elsewhere west of Devils Lake
whc1e the trail has been market a
year ago. North Dakota now has
the best marked division of the entire
Roosevelt Highway, and it is one of
the best market trails in the country
"New tourists camp grounds were
established this year at Grand Forks
Rugby, Williston, Berthold, and Devils
Lake.
Z "A monthly news bulletin was pub
lished beginning with May, the pur-
pose of which was to keep the people
living along the Roosevelt Highway
informed of the progress being made.
Newspapers in towns along the trail
were occasionally sent items of news
which they used very generously. We
! owe debt of gratitude to the memb-
ers of the Fourth Estate"
perhaps the greatest service rem
dered tourists during the season was
the publication of weekly road re-
port. The state was divided into
districts, in each district some man
was responsible for sending into the
secretary's office every week an ex-
act report of the condition of the road
[ in his respective district. These re-
ports were compiled into single re-
port by the secretary and sent to in
! formation stands, garages, hotels and
restaurants in every town in the state
as we'll as to towns in Minnesota and
Montana.
"This report would be incomplete
did it not include a reference to the
splendid work of Roosevelt Highway
boosters in towns thru which we
pass. Then, too, the members of our
board of directors entered the task
with an unselfish motive. Of par
ticular significance was the work of
President Ernest Bylin of Tioga. The
other members of the board likewise
did splendid work-H. M. Stanton

Devils Lakes Chautauqua
promises to put on new life and
new color for the season of
1922. Chautauqua will be revived
and made predominant over all
such events in the whole state as
1t was ten to twenty years ago.
The Kiwanis club at meeting held
this week at the .Grayson hotel initi-
ated move to insure one Of the
greatest successes of entertainment
features Of the annual event in his
tory Of years. Following brilliant
address by Secretary Edgar LaRue
Of the association, explaining the
plans proposed, a recommendation
that the club, in conjunction with the
.Rotarians of Devils Lake guarantee
a sale of 1,250 season tickets at ten
dollars each, was referred to COM
mittee for action with every indica-
tion Of favorable report. Members
of the famous organizations local
unit after adjournment were enthus-
iastic over prospects that this city is
to again be the state center of Chau-
tauqua activities.
One prominent citizen declared that
tChautauqua meetings at Devils Lake
and held at City park, could be, would
be, and must be, made the greatest in
the state. "There is no question of
the financial gain to mercantile in
stitutions of the city but that is Sec
sondary to the great educational and
entertaining features which are val
uable adjunct to not only this COM
munity but to the whole Lake Region
and visitors who summer here from
all parts Of the Northwest" He
pointed forcefully to the fact that
'"Chautauqua will be revived and
made predominant over all such ev-
ents in the whole Northwest"
The Rotary club, meeting today, is
expected to aptly second the action
of the Kiwanis organization and a
forward movement for a greater, bet.
ter and more comprehensive season
of 1922 than in many seasons started
