The construction work on the C. j.
Kelly block is fast nearing compile
ton, and it will only be short time
before the building will be ready for
the Penney Co., to occupy. The brick.
work will be completed this week.
After the Penney Co. moves into it's
new home it will be in a better posi-
ton than ever to take care of the
large crowds of people from both the
city and surrounding towns as we'll
as the people from the rural districts
that come here to do their shopping.
The Penney Co. through its extensive
advertising attracts hundreds of peo-
pie from long distance away to come
here to do their trading, and who
Without this advertising might go
elsewhere. In addition to the large
amount of advertising space used
each week by this firm a mailing list
Of close to 10000 names is kept up,
and advertising is mailed to the en-
tire list on an average of eight times
each year. In it's new location the
Penney Co. will be able to better
display its goods, will be better able
to give its large number of customers
the best service, and will no doubt
increase its advertising which toget-
her with its new attractive home will
attract more people from longer dis
tances, all of which will make Devils
Lake a buster trading point.

Haw Warns Against Too Big
Acreage Potatoes This Year


John Haw, county agent leader Of
the Agricultural college extension
department is warning farmers
against planting too great potato
acreage during the coming year. The
college urges continuing policy for
the growing of potatoes in moderate
quantities, as a cultivated CROP, he
said, but this is going to be a bad
year to plunge into the tuber rails
ing game heavily. III,
The potato acreage in the country
will probably be one of the greatest
ever put in, this year, according to
F. c. Hathaway, county agent lead
er of Walsh county. He has COM
piled figures for the greatest potato
raising state in the west-Minnesota,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Idaho, and
Colorado--to show that the acreage
will be increased in each. In each
case Mr.. Hathaway has gathered
figures from county agents of the
chief potato raising counties of the
state named. In each case the ma
jority predicted increased acreage.
Most of the agents estameted the
1921 acreage to be normal or more
than normal. The majority said
however that the tendency was lower
in 1921 as far as yield was con-
cerned.

FIGHT seen
BREWING FOR
LEGION OFFICE

That the Devils Lake convention of
the American Legion will be the scene
of one of the most bitter political
fights in the history Of the organiza-
ton throughout the northwest, be-
came evident today when former sold
iers of jamestown announced the can
didacy of Bill Upshaw for the position
Of state adjustant in opposition to
Jack Williams of Fargo.
AS the position carries with it the
state headquarters of the legion, the
launching of the Upshaw boom prac-
tically amounts to an out and out
fight between Fargo and jamestown.
Upshaw, present state chaplin of
the former soldiers, is the original or
ganizer of the jamestown post, one
of the most capable legionereA. in
the state, and admitted to be by far
the most dangerous opposition that
has confronted the genial Jack Will
liams of state adjustant at the Bis
marck organization convention in
1919.
Has Coed Record
Eighteen months with the 164th in
fantry, fifteen Of them overseas, is
Upshaw's military record. He is
prominently indebted with the state
legion affairs and also force in the
Elks as we'll as the Rotary club.
The campaign for Upshaw recalls
a long line of attempts to disgorge
Fargo from its place of state head
quarters. Harrington of Bismarck
made the most determined attack,
fighting it out at Minot and again car
1ying on a campaign at Jamestown in
1921.
While Jack Williams is generally
admitted to have made an exception
ally efficient leader, The contention Is
being made that the office should be
Iassed around,
