LOCAL GROWERS
OF Grain like
NATIONAL PLAN

Lake Region grain growers were
stirred with fresh optimism this
week over prospects, of pooling plans
by the U. S. Wheat Growers, Inc,
the Wheat Growers association and
kindred bodies over the country to
consolidate in one grand federation
plan. 1t was announced thru the
press that an amalgamation of all or
ganizations Of major proportions thru
out the United States woul, in all
probability be effected at an early
date. This, it was said. would permit
completion of effectual plans within
the next year o. two whereby farmers
and farm owners would, thru their
own organization, practically mono-
police the grain markets Of the nation
and control sale prices of their pro-
ducts.
At meeting held Denver, Colo
RADIO, where a consolidation plan for
grain growers is being worked into
9 monster federation by the heads Of
various organizations, it was an
nounced that all cooperative grain
buying concerns of every nature would
be eligible to membership. The
American Wheat Growers, Associat-
ed, is the title under which operat-
ions will start.
Farmers in this community, know
ing of the new and revised project, de-
clared that liz the proposed plan
would end strife between various
pooling organizations, there was some
hope that prices hight be realized the
coming fall that would permit of a
profit in grain raising. Many have
also urged, and follow out, the advice
of leading economists to reduce acre
age by from fifteen to twenty-five
perccnt-and adopt summer follow
, methods of crop production with more
diversion from wheat than hereto
fore.

Board of County
Commissioners In
Regular Sessions

Authorization for publication of
requests for bids on county printing
and supply contracts will be one of
the principal matters Of business to
come before the Board o. County
commissioners which opened it's re-
gular session for March here yester-
day.
Prominent among other subjects
being brot before the board is petit
tion by farmers living within a three
mile limit Of Edmore for separate
school district. Petitioners, now sub
ject to what are declared excessive
school taxes under the regime OF the
Edmore school system and said to
in some instances equal S120 a quart
cr section of land, plan the erection of
their own school houses. It is con-
tended the smaled schools and MAIN
tenance would materially reduce costs
of operation. Before the sessions of
the board closes, it is thot warm dis
cussions will develop.
Routine matters will, it is said,
in all probably occupy at least an
other day of the meeting.

BUSINESS IN
CREASES AT THE
PENNEY STORE

The usual increase in business that
usually comes on during the first
signs of spring is already in evidence
at the Penney Store in this city, ac-
cording to N. Clausen, the popular
manager of the institution. Last Sat
urday it was necessary to employ two
extra sales people in order to properly
wait on the large crowds of people
who called at the store, and the as
sistance of Mr.. VIM. Serumgard and
Mrs. Mikkelson was secured, Though
there has been a steady increase in the
amount of sales at the Penney Store
ever since it opened up for business
here number of years ago, it has
been some time since the increase in
sales was as noticeable as it has
been during the past two weeks, ac-
cording to Mr.. Clausen. Other de-
partment stores in the city also re-
port business as picking up.

LOCAL DEMOCRAT
''.AGlN'' JOINING
OF ALL PARTIES

s'Dyed in the wool' democrats of
this region dor't want an amalgama-
tion of the Democratic-Republican
Independent Voters association to
fight possible Nonpartisian candid
ates at this years election, if the
recent press reports from Fargo of
w. A. Fulkerson action at meet
ing Of the state central committe of
which he is a member are any indica-
tion.
Accordin,, to reports, Mr.. Fulker-
son, a Ramsey county pioneer and well
known thruout, the Lake Region for
his steadfastness to party affilia-
tions, 'bucked" when his organiza-
tion, headed by Attorney General
Sveinbjorn johnson, state chairman,
presiding were wont to endorse and
"Aliance" plan of all parties to de-
feat Nonpartisian forces. His lone pal
in the scene was F. H. Ash of Minot,
the remainder were all "agin' Ramsey
county's representatives. Mr.. Fulker-
son has been known here as an ar
dent supporter of the Nonpartisian
league.
The proposal plan, promulgated at a
joint meeting of the Democratic state
committee and the Independent Voters
association plans the appointment of
fifteen republicans and the same
number of democrats and republicans
respectively in cooperative move
ment to defeat further DEVELOPMENTS
Of Nonpartisian league activities. An
outline of the contemplated arrange
ment will be presented to Republi-
can party and a coordination Of the
three will all probably be effected, it
was said, prior to announcement OF
dates when state conventions will be
held.

austin Goes TO
CANTON, ILL

F. S. Austin, who for four years
was employed on local newspapers as
editor and manager, left Tuesday eve-
ming for Canton, ILL.,, where he mas
accepted a position as editor-manager
Of the Canton Daily Ledger, one of
the leading Republican daily news
papers in that section of the state.
Mr.. Austin is newspaper man Of
more than ordinary ability, and will
be able to make good no matter where
he is put to work. Many here did
mot agree with him politically during
his stay in Devils Lake, and did not
like the tactics he used during the
political campaigns which he went
through, but all admit that he knew
how to WELD the pen, and that his
talent as a newspaper man was far
above the average. Canton is city Of
about $4,000 people, and we learn is
located in the southern part Of the
state where Nonpartisans and I. V.
AS. are seldom heard Of. We wish
Mr.. Austin the greatest of success.

Sheriff's Office
May Be Center
Primary Squabble

What promises to be one of the
hottest fights ever staged in Ramsey
county for nomination as candidates
for election to the Sheriff's office will
be staged this spring if present in
dications carry any significance. Four
candidates are already in the field
V i formal annOuncements-an at
four more are said to be pre-
{! to ''throw their hats in the
'artin Olson, holder of honors as
@!nef OF that county department for
Ewo terms in years past and said to
n:."r been one of the most efficient
cnfarccrs known under similar
:~-~ ances in the state and for
"-'' .e-ms representative to the
state legislature, was the first to an
snunce himself publicly. Since that
time, Fred Besse, prominent Garske
farmer; Art Lynn, retired farmer and
for brief periods serving as deputy
sheriff and local policeman, and DR..
Joe. Rutte1 veterinarian, have for
mally declared themselves But, AL
tho no names have been made public,
it was given out from an authorita-
tive source that at least three names
would be added and possibly five. The
two receiving the highest number of
votes at the Primaries in the June
will be the Candidates for election.
Aside from Olson, Mr.. Rutter is pro-
badly the best known candidate. He
was raised in the county, is thirt-
rISne years old, practiced his pro-
fession over the entire county for
nine years and is we'll liked in all
quarters.

Pay Income Tax
Before March Is

Wednesday, March Is, is the last
day on which income tax reports may
be filed without paying a penalty.
This pertains to both the state and
federal income reports. People who
are fortunate enough to have incomes
large enough to pay tax on same
will be kept more than busy during
the next few days in figuring out
what their net incomes actually were,
and where they are going to get the
money with which to pay the tax.

SPECIAL ATTRAC-
TION FOR ST.
PATRICK'S DAY

The Knights of Columbus of Devils
Lake are putting on a big attraction
at the Unique theatre in this city on
st. Patrick's Day, Friday, March 18th,
in the way of Catholic Art Associa-
tion production, entitled "The Bias
phemer," super photoplay whose
power grips and enthrals, produced
especially for the Holy Name Society
to celebrate it's golden jubilee in the
United States.
The story of. tsThe Blasphemer"
brands itself upon the memory. AS
John Harden stands defying his God
the elements rage in great storm,
the thunder roars and the lightnings
flash, as if nature herself clamors in
protest against the great sin. John
Harden, the blasphemer, falls from
the height Of his success to the abyss
of failure like Lucifer from Heaven.
In the defiance of his pride he had
challenged God to strike him dead.
The Divine Wisdom knows how to
answer mans folly.
No organization other than one of
Catholic faith would be allowed to
show this picture, and it is not put
on here for the money gain that it
might produce. Instead the princi-
pal object in securing it for Devils
Lake is that local Catholics might see
this great production. The admission
charge will be only 25c and 10c, and
there will be three performances dur
ing the day, matinee at 800 pm,
and evening shows at 1880 and $3.50
o'clock

severely frightened money conditions,
Ramsey county farmers and business
man have paid enough money in taxes
up to the close of business Monday
to operate score of banks, according
ito Treasurer Elmslie, who thru the
rush of business was unable to give
out any authentic information. 1t was
believed that more taxes were paid
before the March first period, when
"a penalty Of five percent attaches to
all delinquents, than in the year 1921.
Altho the law puts the limit before
/ the excess attaches, Treasurer Elm
slie extended the time limit until the
night of the third. Hundreds of un-
opened letters have accumulated in
! the hands of clerks who are making
strenuous efforts to book them and
