Promises and Lies

The chief characteristics Of the Ku Klux political
campaign are promises and lies. The candidates promise

lie well stuck to s better than the TRUTH is the ku kux
motto and pretty well lived to- One can still hear as
campaign argument the threadbare lies OF the primary
hoary with age but still going strong One can hear most
any old time and most any old place that Governor Ocot Is
Catholic that his wife Catholic that his children go
to paroha school, that he has been sgna honored by the
pope that his sister, aho he has none, is Catholic num-
that his strict Methodist parents are Catholics and SO on
infintum
OF course it should make no difference what anyones
religion is in this free country of ours but under the
dispensaon Of hate malice and fanatcism the Ku Klux
have naugurated it is the qualification The mere fact
that the governor is not Catholic and has Catholic
affiliations does not matter in the easfacs never trouble

A Political Play

Without having bothered to conduct investigation into
conditions the State Public Service commissions rather
the two members installed by the recall last spring, have
ordered blanket reduction in telephone rates effective
December l.
The drastic order is merely political play made the
of election votes for Mr. Kerrgan who
didate for reelection the yellow ticket The telephone
company will appeal to the courts nunc
ton and prevent the order from going into effect but it will
it's purpose of securing the votes of the unthnkng
Such action that taken by the commission is contrary
the spirit of the law creating the commission and the
theory Of square deal to both public and corporation under
which it operates Until investigation of conditions
peted and the data at hand to justify in court the rate
established all such arbitrary rulings must be regarded
vaeht in Oregon politics. Rates too high but such
methods accomplish nothing
The two members of the commission making this grand
stand play been in office May but beyond making
several such illegal fourflushing has accomplished
nothing towards securing reduction The commission should
be taken out politics and its former good reestab
lshed This best be done by the election of Thomas
Campbell member of the first commission which kept out
people and corporations.

TI/HAT HAPPENED When
Y VSheila Elliston Refused Love
By IDAH McGLoNE GIBSON

and then she spoke as with an eff
fort But surely you are not going
to live with Sheila after what you
have seen tonightF
'Sheila has not lived with me
for months, Susanne, 1 answered.
Not since we began our plan of
giving her cause for DIVORCE 1 con-
fessed. L kow she does not love me
any more-if she ever loved me-
but since the last few hours I do
not understand just whom she does
love. | am more and more inclined
to believe that she does not love
your brother Sue. 1t seems more like
ly to me that she has fallen in love
with Soper--the dogl | am going to
find out. >"
What did you say, KayY" Phil
asked, as he heard me speaking my
thoughts, unwittingly, aloud.
II was thinking" answered
tartly, "that of all unmitigated
idiotic," and also thought although
idiotie," and I also though, although
did not say so, that if, unhappy
over the way my brother had neg
lected her for that fiendish woman
Sheila had turned to the kind and
chivalrous Tony Soper for the love
that Phil had taken away from her
and apparently bestowed on some
one else, I, for one, would not blame
her. ~
I came out of my diAurbihg
thoughts to hear Phil saying sor-
rowfully. Perhaps I am an idiot.
Perhaps you are right, Kay. And
| don't expect you to understand me
now when say that l never ceas-
ed to love Sheila even when 1 sin
ned against her most. Indeed, 1t was
because I loved her, and still love
her, that 1 made such conspicuous
fool Of myself with Sue.
II tried to make myself think that
it was to give her q chance to sep
arate from me that I did this, but
| know now that I did not want a
separation at all. 1 only wanted to
make her suffer as she has made
me suffer-"
Nonsense, Phil sheila never
made you suffer. It was that lying
woman, Susanne Jones, who poison
ed your mind and made you almost
insane with jealousy in order to
compass her own end"
perhaps, Kay" agreed Phil and
then over his face came the MASTER
full look of indomitable determine
tion that was the real Phil l knew
of old. His face was hardened. The
cords in his neck swelled and tens
ed, He closed his powerful hands
in grip that boded i'll for some
one. Phil was essentially man of
action and power. 1t was only
where sentiment and women were
concerned that he was the soft
thing that almost made me hate
my own brother. Bluntly he snap
ped:
by c., I am going clear
down to the bottom of this. When
l finish III know what's what"
Secretly l applauded this show of
spirit, but outwardly 1 gave no
sign.

Phil's Awakening

Phil sat neryously silent for
some moments. Then abruptly he
said:
"Kay, when I saw Sheila coming
out of that notorious resort the
other night l saw red.
Her presence in such place
was Overwhelmingly proof that all
Sue had said and implied was true.
| was astounded, aghast at what l
saw-even though Susanne s claims
had prepared me for something un-
usual.
"For moment | thought that
someone was trying to kidnap her
but as she entered the taxi with
out protest-yes, even eagerly, with
Tony Soper whose arms | had just
seen about her could only inter
pret 1t one way.
Gas you know, If you were there,
hurried out into the rain for a
taxi.
"All through that terrible ride
back to Susanne's home, ! was con-
scious that my heart kept beating
out: It's truel It's truel Sue has
told you the truth. Sheila does not
love you any more
"Women are queer things, Kay.
Under no circumstances would a
man think of telling woman after
such an agonizing night that things
had come out just as he had pre-
dicted In fact, ] do not think that
man usually says I told you so.
But Sue took that most inopportune
time to tell me that her plans which
we had put into practice sometime
before were working out all right
and that we had better make ar
rangements to sail for southern
France as soon as possible.
"'Phil, she said, L must speak
now, otherwise you will go one max.
ing yourself more and more unhap-
py. There is only one thing to do
You must tear Sheila from your
heart Immediately.
"She had drawn so near to me
that her head was almost on my
breast.
"God! I can still feel the disgust
with which | brushed a tendril of
her damp hair from my check. 1t

physical disgust. 1t was feeling

protested, drawing away from her

was perfectly obvious to me what
she meant"
"Susanne is not the kind of girl
to beat about the bush, Phil" l in
terrupted venomously.
"Well, at least she didn't this
time" he returned grimly. Then he
added: "Susanne continued;
"'You know, Phil or at least you
ought to know that your wife is
not worthy OF you. You are brave
man and the only thing for you to
do now is to get divorce from

Retracti0n To Go
To All Leaguers

Fargo, N. D., March 22.-To COM
plete the retraction that the Nonpar-
tisan league state committee stipu-
lated it would publish in considera-
tion of the abandonment of his suit
for $4,000 damages for libel by Will
liam LANCER the committee must pub
fish special edition of 10000 copies
of the leagues newspaper, the same
to be distributed to the entire league
membership in North Dakota
This is announced by the committee
in its official organ, with the state
ment that William Lemke, former at
torney general, and R. H. Walker and
Walter Maddox, minority committee
men, who have repudiated the retrac-
ton, may, by putting up bond of
$4,000 to indemnify the leagues pa
per from damages, have the privilege
of proving charges published against
LANCER over three year period, in
court. The committee says it will not
publish the special edition, thereby
reestablishing Langer's libel suit, but
such refusal to publish the special
edition is predicted only on the pro-
position that the three men in ques-
ton are prepared to defend the case,
and are willing to indemnify the lea
que paper against lose.
So far, say the state committee
members, the three men given the
opportunity to defend Mr.. Langer's
claim for damages have failed to re-
spond.

RAMSEY COUNTY
WILL DIVERSITY
DURING 1922

All indications point to an increas-
ed interest in diversified farming in
Ramsey county during the 1922 sea-
son according to summary of the
reports made by farmers throughout
the county at meetings held during
diversified Farming Week" by
County agent A. M. Challey and Mr..
E. w. Smith a representative of the
Extension Division Of the Argric.
College.
At each of of the six meetings
held, farmers We're asked to fill out
a report Of the acreage Of certain
crops grown in 1921 and the proposed
acreage for 1929. The summary of
these reports shows the following in
creased or decreased acreage for
1922; Corn increase 12S per cent, po-
tatoes increase 22O per cent, sweet
clover increase 50 per cent, alfalfa in
crease 200 per cent, other tame grass
decrease rs per cent. A summary of
live stock operations reveals the fol-
lowing for 1922; Cows MIXED So
per cent, Sows bred rs per cent, mares
bred 100 per cent.
A great amount of interest is being
taken in potatoes in all sections of
Ramsey county, altho in most cases
the acreage to be grown this year
will not be large. Many farmers
who expect to take potato growing
The Devils Lake world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1920-1982, 1922-03-22

as a part of their farming opera
tions are going to plant only enough
this year to furnish seed for an in
creased planting next year. The
production of good seed is being
given special consideration and treat
ing and selection of seed this year
wiz be practiced by many. This
will insure large production per
acre and better quality. The lack of
warehouses or handling houses makes
the marketing of large quantities of
potatoes rather difficult. However,
the quality of the products to be sold
probably has the greatest bearing on
the profit it will return. Investiga-
tions during the past few months have
brought out the fact that not enough
thought is being given the marketing
of good quality potatoes. One instance
has been cited wherein a shrinking of
50,432 lbs. or Is per cent Of the
total weight Of eight cars of potatoes
occurred. The chief reason for this
shrinkage was that the potatoes had
been frosted before loading. The
cost Of sorting and reconditioning po-
tatoes was $551.59 Growers also paid
S1S9.12 freight OH these culls to
Minneapolis. Great losses have also
been reported where diseased pot
atoea and ungraded potatoes We're
shipped. These conditions can be
avoided and they must be, if North
Dakota is going to grow potatoes ex-
tensively. Grading machinery handl-
ing houses and disease prevention do
not necessarily have to be expensive.
With the establishing of grading
points under the control Of the state,
shippers will be protected from in
discriminate buyers.

Mrs. Frank M. Cook returned Thurs
day morning from Illinois, where she
was called some time ago by the ILL.,
ness and death of her father.
w. L. Horner of Lakota, came in
Tuesday morning for a short visit
here at the home of his step-son, F.
R. Irons. He was accompanied by
his father, Eli Horner, of Surrey. Mr..
Horner, Jr., is quite we'll known in
this community having spent sum-
mer here at one time.
The first ball game of the season
was played Sunday afternoon when a
number Of the followers of the great
national sport gathered on the local
diamond and crossed bats. This. is
probably record for this part of
North Dakota. We claim that when
you can play ball comfortably on the
twelfth day of March that we have
a pretty good climate.
No Fargo or Grand Forks papers
were received here Monday and ma
turally local people were rather "peev-
ed' - to put it mildly. There is no
excuse for these papers not arriving
here on Monday morning except, the
carelessness of someone, and it is to
be hoped that sufficient complaint will
be lodged with the postoffice depart
ment to cause an investigation to be
made.
Lloyd RAIDER, a representative of
the Wheat Growers association, has
been in this community again during
the past week in the interest of his
organization. He held meetings at
Garske, Starkweather, and St. Joe
during the week. Mr.. RAIDER express
es himself as very well satisfied with
the interest displayed in the organi-
cation by farmers in this community.
There are lots Of folks who are
predicting that we are going to have
some more bad weather. However,
the real signs of spring which are
now appearing, fail to bear out their
predictions. On every hand one sees
evidences that spring is either here
or just around the corner. The small
boy has had his marbles out for ten
days or two weeks now and it is a
common sight to see the youngsters
in real hot fights. When the small
boys begin to play marbles, and base
ball and fight, it is reasonably certain
that spring is close on hand.

Potato Men To
Meet At Forks

Problems of vital Importance to
farmers Of North Dakota who plan to
raise potatoes in 1922 and in COM
ing years will be discussed at state
wide conference open to the general
public at Grand Forks Friday, March
81, according to a call issued toady
by Director G. w. Randlett Of the
North Dakota Extension division.
The tentative program, as out
lined by Mr.. Randlett; Includes a
report of the special potato market
ing committee; working out of an ex-
tension plan of field inspection and
certification; discussion of the pos
sibility of improving grading and con-
dition practices; making plans for
grading schools next fall; discussion
of the necessary organization for sue
cessful production and efficient mark
citing, and consideration of ways and
means of handling the 1922 potato
crop.
The letter invites potato association
to send representatives and individu-
al growers to attend the meeting,
which will open at 9 A. M. in the
court house and is planned to be one
day session. Preliminary reports
made by the potato marketing COM
mittee, appointed several months ago
by the North Dakota Agricultural
College to investigate complaints made
regarding the selling of the 1921 crop,
indicate that the greatest loss to the
farmers is sustained thru improper
preparation of their products to meet
tie demands of the market. Offic-
ers of the state potato growers as
ISOLATION and officers of the North
Dakota farm bureau federation have
joined with the Extension division of
the College in issuing this call.
