SONS Of NORWAY
Will CONVENE
HERE next JULY

At the district convention of the
Sons of Norway lodge held at Grand
Forks last week Devils Lake was sell
ected> as the next place in which the
members will convene year from
now. The district comprises North
and South Dakota. Among those
present at the convention at Grand
Fork from Devils Lake were E. w.
Gilbertson and Hans Klippen, who
went as delegates, and H. G: Sven
stad, John Solem and Casper Bye,
who drove down to take in the big
doings.
In talking to The World writer Mr..
Swenstad told US that never before
did he see a crowd of visitors enter
tanned in a more royal manner than
the Grand Forkers entertained the
delegates and visitors during this
convention. There was something
interesting going on continuously,
and it seemed that every resident in
the Forks was doing his or her share
to make the stay of the visitors as
pleasant as possible.
When the question of the next meet
ing place came up the delegates from
Devils Lake were on the job every
minute that the proposition was dis
cussed. Both Mr.. Gilbertson and Mr..
Klippen put in their best licks, accord
ing to Swenstad, and this together
with the several kilograms received
from the Civic & Commerce Associa-
tion was what did the business.
The local lodge Of the Sons of Nor
way will start making arrangements
Immediately for the raising of funds
for the proper entertainment of the
visitors here next July, and will do
their utmost to outdo Grand Forks
in showing the members the biggest
kind Of time.

EMPORIUM TO
OCCUPY old J..C.
penney STORE

The Emporium, who. since it's
establishment here in 1910, has been
conducted by H. Wilensky on Fourth
street, will on August Is, move to
the store building on Fourth street
recently vacated by the ]. c. Penney
Co., when a much larger stock will
be put in Immediately, new and
modern fixtures will be installed, and
the store will be made one of the
most up-to- date in the city,
Mr.. Wilensky tells The World that
the principal reason for making the
move is to get more room. In its
present location the Emporium has
been carrying a very large and varied
stock of ladies' ready to wear, in
cluding dresses, coats, suits, skirts,
waists, millinery, etc. but on account
of lack of room in which to display
same, has not been able to get as
much business as it would have under
more favorable circumstances. AS
time went on the stock was added to
and made larger, and during the past
few months there was hardly room
enough in the present quarters for
the stock now carried. After the
Penney Co., moved, Mr.. Wilensky
got busy at once, and was able to Sc
cure lease on that store building,
which gives him one of the best To-
cation in the city, with ample room
for any stock that he will put in for
several years.
When he opens up in the new build
ing Mr.. Wilensky intends to do so
with an entirely new stock of goods
which he is now ordering, and will
not move any more Of the goods from
his old store than what is absolutely
necessary. In order to dispose OF
his present stock in the next 80 days
he is conducting a removal sale and
is putting the prices on everything in
his store down to level at which
they are bound to move fast. His
sale starts on Friday of this week,
and will last until the date he moves.
His stock is very complete at the pre-
sent time, and ladies will be able to
find most anything they desire at
his place now. After the sale has
been on for a time the stock will
naturally be smaller, and there will
not be so large or varied as assort-
ment to choose from. It therefore be.
hooves everyone to come early anc
get the first selection.
New fixtures of the most modern
type have been ordered for the new
store, and with these Mr.. Wilensky
will be able to display his large line
to the best possible advantage, ane
at the same time make his store tn,
neatest and most attractive in tn,
city. Where the Emporium has beer
a very popular place in to which t,
trade in the past it will be even NOR,
80 in the future, and we predict tina
the amount of business done will b'
doubled several times over.

Rye Harvesting
On in Full Blast

Before this week passes most Of the
rye fields in this great lake region
will have been harvested. Quite a
number of binders started last week,
but there are very few, if any fields
that are not fit to cut this week. The
rye crop has come out in the very
best of condition, and will produce
a yield that will be equal to any har-
vested here before.
The acreage Of this grain in Ram
sey county is much larger this year
than it had ever been before. Some
of the barley fields will be ready to
harvest next week, and by the time
this work is done other grains will
be ripening, and the binders will be

comes bumper crop of wheat and
other small grains-and bang! away

Then comes whole long string
Of crop failures!" Every bumper

WHY
We Are Able to Perceive the
Blue In the Sky

The reason why the sgy Is blue was
found out by Prof. John Tyndall CISCO
ls95). the famous British physicist.
In explaining this, The Book OF
knowledge" (edited by Arthur Nee of
Temple Chambers, London, and Hol-
land Thompson. Phi. D., of the College
of the City Of New York) says: The
sky gets its light from the sun. When
the sun Is away. the sky Is dark.
Therefore, the blue of the sky must be
somehow thrown to our eyes from
something In the sky which keeps all
the other colors In the white light of
the sun, and throws back the blue;
and that is what happens. The sky Is
flled with countless tiny specks
which we muy call dust-specks OF
solid stuff hanging In the air. These
are Of just such a size that they
catch the bigger waves Of light. which
make the other colors, but throw 10
our eyes the shorter waves OF light,
which make blue. II you could do
away with all the solid stuff In the
air the sky would be dark, and all the
light OF the daytime would come d.
rectly from the sun. Skyllght is re-
nected sunlight. but only the blue part
OF It,"
