they found almost perfect roads on

highway south of this city through
the woods, They were greatly pleas
ed to see that the road through RAM

in the best of condition as far as the

hoped that the time would not be far

would do likewise with the highway

is AMONG THE
REAL PIONEERS

T. P. Thompson Of six miles north
east Of this city is without doubt as
old settler as there is to be found
in this great Lake region, but he ad-
mits that during the 40 years that
he resided here he never had any de-
sire to move anywhere else, though
he at different times took trips to
other parts for the purpose of look
ing around. Mr.. Thompson came
here in the year 1882 and squatted on
the piece of land on which he now re-
sides. The railroad was not yet built
as far west as this, and he drove
out from Larimore. The treaty had
been made with the Indians the year
before, and in 1884 the land was sur
veyed and opened to settlers when Mr..
Thompson filed on his homestead. In
talking to The World Mr.. Thompson
told us that there were ups and
down in farming during the 40 years
that helived here, but that was
the case no matter where person
went, and that as far as he was per-
sonally concerned he will be living
here the rest of his days. He now
owns section Of the finest land to
be found in the Lake Region, all well
improved, and lives like king on his
place He spent the past winter
in California, driving both ways with
his car.

DEMONSTRATE
STRAW GAS PRO-;
=DUCER AT FAIR

One of the machines on exhibition
at the Lake Region Fair now taking
place here which is attracting more
than ordinary attention from not only
farmers but people residing in the
city as we'll is the Pfeifer's Straw Gas
Producer, which is being demon
strated by Andrew Grasser & son
of this city who have the local agency.
The gas producer was demonstrat-
ed in this city last winter, but owing
to the condition of the roads only a
few farmers saw it in operation. The
machine will produce approximately
$50 cubic feet of high grade gas from
$50 pounds of ordinary straw in from
20 to 80 minutes, and this gas can be
used for light, heat and power. The
outfit is very simple and can be op-
Grated by any child. It solves the
fuel and light problem for the farm
er, and permits him to use straw
which he ordinarily burns out in the
field.
Every farmer in the Lake Region
who has not yet seen the machine
demonstrated should not fail to see
it work at the fair grounds. It is
one of the biggest exhibitions out
there.

'THE CALL OF THE
NORTH" MONDAY

One of the greatest monopolies IN
history was the Hudson's Bay Com
pany which maintained it's hold for
more than 200 years over the greater
part of what is now Canada. Its
factors held the power of life or death
over those who lived within the radius
of its posts. This monopoly came to
an end in 1870 when the company sur
rendered it's charter in exchange for
certain properties.
This dramatic state of affairs
forms a basis for "The Call of the
North" Jack Hollis first Paramount
starring vehicle, which will be shown
at the Grand theatre for two days be-
ginning, Monday Matinee.
There were, it seems, certain who
did not give up their autocratic pow
ers-a state Of affairs not condoned
by the Hudson's Bay House, in Lon
don, but which went on because Of the
remote location of such posts. It
was with this material that Stewart
Edward White built his novel "Con-
jurer's House," from which the pic
ture was adapted by Jack Cunning
ham. There was also stage play by
George Broadhurst which had wide
success. A fine cast includes Madge
Bellamy as the heroine, playing op-
posite the star, Noah Beery, Francis
McD Donald, Edward Martindel, Helen
Ferguson and Jack Herbert. Joseph
Henabery, directed. Also Pathe

RAMSEY COUNTY
PIONEER DIES

Gilbert Birkedal, one of the very
first settlers of Ramsey county, pas
sed away at his home seven miles
north of Starkweather on Wednesday
evening of last week after a long
illness caused from cancer of the
stomach. Deceased was quite we'll
known in Devils Lake and had many
friends here who will be sorry to
learn of his demise. He was born in
Norway II years ago and when still
young man came to United States
and spent a year in Minnesota, and
in 1897 came to Ramsey county where
he has since made his home. In
1892 he was married to Miss Anna
Anderson, and to this union one
daughter was born, Miss Katherine
Birkedal, who has been teaching
school during the past few years,
and is now employed at the Bisbee
city school. He is also survived by
two brothers and sister in Norway.
In the early days the deceased was
connected with the police department
and sheriff's office in Devils Lake,
having served for several terms as
deputy sheriff under Ever Wagness.
He was possessed of many good quail
ties, to know him was to like him,
and he made friends wherever he
went.
The funeral was held last Saturday
morning at ten o'clock from the Birk-
edal home, and services were held
at the B1etheren church at II o'clock.
The Devils Lake world., 1922-07-12
WAGE SCALE is
SET BY FARMERS

Ramsey county farmers will stab
lize the harvest threshing labor wages
as we'll as the price to be paid by the
farmer for threshing grain this fall
if the movement now on foot develops
as it hoped.
At meeting well attended by farm
ers and threshermen held in Devils
Lake on Saturday, July 9th, the har-
vest, labor and threshing situation
was discussed from all angles. It
was the concensus of opinion that
most of the difficulty in securing and
keeping help was due to the fact that
a standard wage had not been paid in
all sections in the past. This has
caused the harvest hands to move
about more or less, which not only
means loss to them but also causes
the farmer trouble in keeping crew.
Therefore it was decided that fair
wage be accepted as q standard and
the farmers and threshermen be urg-
ed to pay this wage in all sections.
Threshing by the Hour to be Abolished
Farmers and threshermen agreed
that the system of paying for thresh-
ing H1 the hour regarless of the
amount Of work done was unfair and
unsatisfactory. After o4siderable
discussion it was decided chat the
farmer should pay for threshing his
grain at certain rate per bushel
threshed as has been done until the
past three or four years. The rate
per bushel for the different kinds of
grain will be decided at meeting to
be held in Devils Lake on July 20.
At this time it will be possible to esti-
mate closely the crop yields and estab-
lish fair price. There was practical
ly no opposition to this change by
threshermen present.
Accepted Wage Scale
The following scale of wages which
corresponds almost exactly with that
which was accepted in Ward County
recently was thought reasonable and
accepted as the standard for Ramsey
County.
Harvest (Shockers and binder men)
$500 per day-BO cents per hour.
Threshing (bundle men and field
pitchers) $3.50 day-35 cents per
hour.
Spike pitchers s4.oo per day-4o
cents per hour.
Team and wagon (bundle team)S2
per day-20 cents per hour.
Cooks for IL team rig $500 per day
Separator men and engineers TO-
per day..
