Legore to Sell Out
and Move to Minnesota

c. F. Legore of IL miles northeast
of the city was in town ON Satur-
day Of last week and made arrange
ments to hold public sale of all his
personal property, after which he will
move to northern Minnesota to make
his future home. He has engaged
f. H. Hyland to cry the sale which will
be held very soon. MI. Legore has re-
sided in this vicinity during the past
seven years, and while he likes the
Lake Region fine in every respect he
made up his mind to move TO the
Lake of the Woods country where
land is cheaper. He has some very
desirable property both in live stock
as well as farm machinery, and it
would pay farmers to see what he has
to offer before making purchase
elsewhere.

ADDITIONAL
TAXES UPHELD

The supreme court of the state
of North Dakota in decision handed
down one day last week upheld the
school board of Devils Lake in levy
ing additional taxes for the current
school year, and interpreted the tax
limitation law of 1921 on two points.
The law provides in one paragraph
that although political subdivision
must limit taxes raised to one-third
the amount levied in 1918, 1919 and
1920 school districts may increase the
levy total of 80 percent beyond this
limitation. The next sentence pro-
vides that political subdivisions may
increase the tax levy 25 per cent be-
yond the limie.tion upon vote of the
people. The court holds that the last
sentence applied also to school dis
tricts although they are not srecifi-
cally named.
It was contended by ]. A. Kramer,
auditor of Ramsey county and ap-
pellant in the case, that the school
board had not certified the increased
tax levy to the auditor within the time
provided by previous law, which was
July 20. The court held that since in
tax limitation law there was no time
designated within which the increased
amount to be raised must be certified
to the county auditor and since in this
case it was certified in time for him to
spread upon the books, the old law
as to time did not apply.
The suit originated after voters of
Devils Lake had approved the school
boards proposal for an increase Of
$4,000 in the tax levy, which the
court found to be within the IS per-
cent increase permitted.

STATE DEMOCRAT
TICKET Retire

The November election, so far as
state office candidates are concerned,
will be clean cut as between those op-
posed to the Nonpartisan league and
those who favor that organization.
That fact became patent when it
was definitely announced that Charles
Simon, nominated by the Democrats
as candidate for governor, and 9TH
er candidate on the Democratic ticket
nominated for offices for which the
independents succeeded in nominating
candidates in the Republican column,
would withdraw.

petitions could be filed by candidates
who seek nomination, or on which
Withdrawals could be filed.
League candidates who are nomi-
mated as individual candidates, and
whose names will appear in the Gin
dividual nominations" column, wre
formally placed in the running Sat-
urday when petitions were filed with
the secretary of state at Bismarck.

D. j. O'Connel, Democratic nomi-
nee for attorney general, had pre-
viously withdrawn, while Nick Mel

understanding that was arrived at as
between the Independents of Demo-
cratic faith and those of Republican
faith, at teh convention held ir

AS a result of the retirement of the
| several Democratic candidates, there

Independents will support candid.
ates of independent faith who are
nominated in the Republican column
and those Democrats nominated fo,

onson, Agnes J. Carlson, Tilpher E.
Thompson, Carolina Danielson, Stein
S. Johnson, and J. c. johnson, the
last named returned soldier.
Two applicants, Frank Fraft and
Valentine Stoppler, were refused ad-
mission OF this hearing on account
of their lack of knowledge in regard
to the U. S. Government, and their
cases were continued until the next
hearing to permit them to learn more
about civil affairs in this country.
A new federal act governing the
natul alization of women was in effect
at the time of this hearing, this be-
ing an act approved on Sept. 22
1922, which provides that the marriage
of an alien woman to an American
citizen, or to an alien who may there
after become citizen, shall not con-
fer American citizenship upon her.
1t is provided also that after the pas
sage of said act a. married womn who
i; otherwise eligible shall have the pri-
vilege of becoming naturalized on her
own account.
Citizenship acquired by women thru
their husbands by virtue Of law in
force prior to the passage of the act,
is not affected by the new legislation.
The two principal classes of married
women specifically referred to in this
legislation, according to Clerk OF
Court Stenseth, are as follows:
An alien w):nan marrying an
Americn citizen after the passage of
this act, or any woman who is ma
turlized after this act.
A woman who, before the passage
of the act, was an American citizen
and lost her United States citizenship
by marriage to an alien.
Full information in regard to the
new act may be obtained by those
interested by applying to Clerk OF
Court StenSeth at the court house

PRICES TOOLOW
TO DUG SPUDS

While most of the farmers of the
Lake Region who planted potatoes last
spring harvested their crops during
the past week, there are many others
who have dug only enough for theri
own use, and are leaving the balance
in the ground, as the market price is
so low that it hardly pays for dig
ging them. Unless there is radical
change in the potato market within
the next few days large amount Of
potatoes will be left in the fground
to freeze. The low price does not
seem to be entirely due to an over
production, but more to the lack of
cars in which to ship them.

RESERVATION
HIGHWAY WOULD
COST $4,000

At the regular noon luncheon Of
the Kiwanis Club held yesterday C. o.
Russell stated that Division State
Highway Engineer Ludwigson, locat-
ed here, had driven over the proposed
highway between here and Fort Tot
ten Sunday, and estimated that the
cost of building same could be ap-
roximately $4,000. The new pro-
posed route which is practically the
same as the one being used this sum-
mer since the grade was build across
the lake would make the route about
three miles shorter than the old one,
and would make the distance from
Devils Lake to Fort Totten Is miles.
Engineer Ludwigson made this preli-
minary survey at the request of the
Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs Of Devils
Ike.
Mr.. Ruddy of the Sun Oil Co., and
representing the Marshall-Wlels Co.,
Of Duluth in this territory, gave the
members a very interesting talk on
the history of the oil industry from
the time oil was first taken out of the
ground up until the present time.
G. o. Russell also suggested that
the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs unite in
reorganizing the Commercial Club
and make it live organization with
a paid secretary, and thereafter in
stead of the Kiwanis and the Rotary
Clubs doing things, have the CONNER
cial club to the same with the united
support of both clubs. This idea
was we'll received, especially the sug-
gestion that a good live secretary
be employed.
Torger Sinness, who is on the COM
mittee to look after placing of signs
on all roads leading to Devils Lake,
reported that while his committee was
about ready to put the signs up he
though it advisable to defer such ac-
tion until next spring for two rea-
sons. First because the red devils
on the sign posts made good targets
for hunters who happened to be COM
ing home empty handed, and secondly
because there will not be much tourist
! traffic through the north half of the
state until next spring, and it would
probably look better to put up the
signs next spring in fresh and new
condition. If they were put up now
it would almost be necessary to re-
paint them next spriAe. Secretary
Hutchinson of the T, R. Trail AS
, sociation stated that his association
would be glad to register the red
devil sign posts, and protect them
the same as it did its owr sign posts.
E. E. Mann, advertising manager Of
the Kiwanis edition of The World
gotten out last week, reported that
the gross income from the edition
in advertising and extra copies of the
paper sold was nearly $1,1O0, but that
the cost of getting it out had not yet
been figured up, though this would
be reported at the next meeting.
