VALUE OF ADVERTISING.

The advertising columns of a good farm journa,
are by no means the least valuable to the farmer.
Advertisements help the farmer to get out OF the
old ruts and show him every week the way
towards the modern method The farmer
of today is vastly more in need of keeping in
touch with the world the advertiser brings to him
than was his brother of few years ago. This is
we'll illustrated by the experience of New YORK
BREEDER
He went into the breeding of pure bred cows
He bought $4,000 bull and thirty $500 COWS and
started in determinedly and intelligently. In due
course of time he was the owner of 100 fine young
hefers and bulls and began to count on sales that
would mean large profits to him. He put prices
en- the fine youngsters ranging from $500 to
$500 head, and sat down to wait for buyers.
He waited. No buyers appeared He went on
waiting, and the animals went on growing ana
also eating. They ate most of the time. He said
they were eating their heads off, but that state
ment did not in the least impair their appetite or
digestion.
One night at the Crossroads store he COM
planned to the neighbors that he could not sell
his fine animals at all, and he was discouraged
and wished he could sell them at any old price.
There was a stranger present who said nothing.
The next day the stranger stroled out to the farm
and asked the breeder where he could buy some
fair to middling heifers and bulls. The breeder
showed him his animals and the stranger fairly
gasped when he saw the young beauties, but he
showed no emotion He found that the breeder
was discouraged and he offered him SIS head
for the 100 animals. The breeder after parey
accepted and the stranger handed him $1,000.
The purchaser then bargained to have the ami
mails 1eQ at MS expense until ne COulu dispose
of them. Then the purchaser put advertisements
in the farm papers, giving the pedgrees of the
animals and the records of their sires and dams,
and in a month buyers began to arrive. Some of
the animals sold at $3.50 head, and some at $500,
and few at 81 900 head, and their average price
$3.50. The breeder had got 800 for the
bunch He did not advertise In fact, he had
always considered advertising no good and just
a waste of money" The purchaser got $4,000
for his He advertised. In fact he thought and
knew that "No business succeed without adj
vertising."
Then the breeder started to breed another
bunch, and he began to advertise right away and
three wears later he sold 100 animals in one day
for $4,000, and the stranger was present and
paid 81 500 for young bull. which was the
sum he paid for 100 head in the former deal
Moral: The old hen knows enough to advertise
when she lays egg, and the business man
would better not go into business until he has
at the very least caught up with the hen.
He who whispers down well
About the he has to sell
VIII not rake in the shining dollars
Like he climbs and holers

RAIN AT MIDNIGHT.

How soft and soothing is the sound of rain
At midnight, over meadow, hill and vale;
1t may be that beneath the caves a pail
Cpturned is sending out light refrain;
1t beats march against each window pane,
And maybe winds are up and oft aSSail
The ivied gables, then to silence trail,
Or entrance at the keyhole try to gain
Sweeter than slumber, then, to lie awake
And listen to the raindrops soft tattoo
The moaning of the wind around the caves;
No dreamland with it's fantasies can make
fairer picture than the morning blue,
The nodding flowers and the dancing leaves

MARTIAL POMP AND PARADE.

The A.-Y.-P. Exposition has been enlivened by
a series of martial events that always appeal to
the eye Of the visitors. There were several COM
panies of regular soldiers encamped at the
grounds during the first few days, and large
number of the officers and men from the cruisers
of the United States and Japanese naves. These
were followed by nearly $50 cadets from the
Oregon Agricultural College, then by $50 cadets
from Washington State College and 175 cadets
from Idaho University and the Governor of Idaho
with his military staff in full regaa. Their natty
appearance and graceful evolutions were attract
i've features.

CHERRY DAY AT THE FAIR.

This date has been fixed as a proper time to
show up the great value of cherry growing to
the Pacific Northwest. Cherries to be used in
decorations, and to be massed for exhibition
in every conceivable way. This will be done in
the stadium where tents are being erected, and
from which parade with floats will be formed.
1t is the leader of a series of events that will
aim to demonstrate the varied horticultural and
agricultural possibilities now being developed in
the Pacific Northwest.

One of the laws made by the last session of the
Legislature points backward to the medieval ages
by requiring the judges of the superior and
preme courts to attire themselves in gowns of
black silk These gowns are costing the judges
from $50 to $125 each, and the presumption that
they add dignity to court proceedings is ridicu-
lous as the wearing of them is undemocratic. They
are incongruous amid our tall timber and rugged
scenery that betoken open directness rather than
ambiguous concealment in decision

OAKES ENTERTAINED
A LARGE CROWD
National Holiday Is Remem.
bered in a Most BETTING
and Orderly Manner.
The Industrial Parade Was q
Big Feature-Everybody
Well Pleased.

One of the largest and most orderly
crowds that ever gathered in Oakes to
celebrate independence Day got to-
gether here last Saturday. The
weather could not have been better
had it been specially ordered. The
sweltering heat of the few days prev
ious abated and the cool air was re-
freshing and invigorating. Malchow's s
Band and the Juvenile Band were on
hand early and national and other airs
were floating around from morning un-
til night.
The industrial parade was the big
feature of the day. It was not thought
much was being done to make decent
showing but when the time arrived,
out of every back alley you could see
pulling into line beautiful floats, some
in automobiles, some in wagons, some
on horseback and some afoot. The
parade was too long for main street.
When the head had turned at the school.
house corner the rear end was still
bending around the Home Hotel. Oakes
has put on several parades of this kline
in the past few years but the one Of
Saturday eclipsed them all. Those
who attended Homecoming" at Aber
deem say that this parade was ahead o1
that. The Times could not begin t.
enumerate the different designs of tht
business houses. Two-thirds of oul
readers must have seen the exhibition
themselves. ~

The speaker was introduced by Mayor
McCulley and had as his subject,
Abraham Lincoln" His words were
patriotic and inspiring and breathed
the patriotism and trials incident tothe
days from 81 to '65, and how "Old
Abe saved the Union for you and for
me-" The audience was well pleased.
The automobile ride about the city
for the children was much enjoyed by
the little folks. The automobilists of
the city were all busy and always had
a full load.
The boys six-inning ball game be-
tween Oakes and Cogswell was adandy.
Our boys were considered a little light
for the fellows that showed up from
our neighboring town, but handled
themselves nicely, Ross cCartney, the
pitcher, starring. The game ended 3
to 2 in favor of Cakes. Purse $40.
1t was not just the nice thing to stop
a good game to 60 into punk one, yet
such was the case. The mems game
between Oakes and Fullerton could
hardly have been called a contest. Full
lerton came with "the goods" and was
n the game from start to finish and
could score any old time they took it
into their heads. The home team was
sadly lacking in practice. Score, IL to
A in favor of Fullerton. The game was
too one-sided to be interesting. Purse
slo0.
The quarter-mile pony race was won
by Ross McCartney's horse, Judson
Covert's second, Lester Johnson's
third. Money divided: SIS. $40 and

Ladies' harness race-Miss Bessie
Stevens first, $40; Mrs. McCulley sec
ond, IS. Mrs. Bishop entered for this
race but someone came too close with
firecrackers during the Harvesting and
the horse would not stand.
Charley Stevens was looking all day
for something to go against his PAGER
and was greatly taken back when H. j.
johnson came along and took all the
conceit out of him with his long, lanl
raw-boned bay.
In the fat mans race, so yards, Johr
Harris took first money, S. and Mike
Pestka second, So.
Girls race, so yards-Lamern Jarvis
first. SIS: Dorothy Hutsinpiller second

Three-legged race, 50 yards-Mille
Ditch and partner first, IS; Pearson
brothers second, s3; Kroman and Burk
hart third, 81.
Orange race, free for all-O. G. Lam
port first, Pearson second. Oranges
divided two-thirds and one-third.
The wrestling match on a raiset
stand ON the main corner was a goot
exhibition. The contest was betweel
willett of Fullerton and Joe Fraction
Of Madison, Wis. The first round wa
a good one, lasting ten minutes ant
ten seconds, and was won by the Wis
consin man. The second and thir'
throws were made by Willett, each il
about three minutes. Purse SIS.
The day closed with dances at tn
opera house under management o

Willy BOOK AGENTS.
Thousands of Dollars Would Be
Wasted by Change of Text Books.

Wasted by Change of Text Books.
1t has been learned that agents of
several book concerns are traversing
the county, endeavoring to persuade
the county boards to make a change in
text books.
This is all right for the agents, but
q very unnecessary expenditure on the
part of the school boards. These book
agents are smooth tongued, willy fell
lows and able to present their side of
the question in gilt edged manner.
Most of them are only hired for the
summer and work on commission,
thus they are over anxious to sell all
the books possible, no matter how
much extra expense it is to the people.
Some few schools were fooled last year,
being promised a certain per cent for
worn out books, but to this day no
credit has been received for the old
books and these districts have returned
to the use of the books they had be-
fore.
Dickey county has had good schools
the past year. Why can't they have
just as good next year with the same
books? The books now in use are not
old but are the same ones used in
eighty-five per cent of the schools of
North Dakota.
/ At present at least ninety-ive per
cent of the schools in the county are
using these same books and this is as
near uniformity as possible under any
condition.
Why not let we'll enough alone? A
great risk is run in changing-of get
ting even as good book as is now in
use-at least no better books would be
obtained.
The change of school books means an
expenditure of from two hundred to
five hundred dollars for each school dis
trict. This amounts to thousands of
dollars which goes out of the county,
and brings no benefit whatever. In
fact change of books means loss of
one years work in school, it requiring
that length of time for teachers and
pupils to become acquainted with diff
ferent books.
Devious and uncertain means are en-
ploysd by these shrewd agents to &C:
complish their purpose. Over year
ago they worked up deal to have a
committee appointed to report at the
next meeting of the school boards, a
list of books making almost whole
sale change. While this is only a re-
commentator, as the law specifically
states that the boards of education of
each district shall decide, contract for,
and if desired, purchase the books to
be used in their schools, it might be
we'll to see if there is "a niger in the
wood pile" and go back to what
prompted the appointment of this COM
mittee.
It is the concurrent expression that
the committee could better subserve
the interests of education by not even
suggesting such an unnecessary ex-
pense, which would tend to disrupt the
schools in their present successful con-
dition.
The people are satisfied; the teachers
and pupils are satisfied; the schools
have been successful. Why break up
harmony? Why permit the activity Of
lot Of book agents of whom you know
nothing, and care less, to work whole
sale expense upon the people by chang
ing books? The profit all goes to the
agent and his company, and the people
pay the freight, which in this instance
amounts to thousands of dollars.

Best Record--Cook of Oakes
Is a Hum Dinger.

The third annual tournament of the
Oakes Gun Club, which was a regis
tered event, was complete success
from every standpoint. The attendance
was good, a total of IS shooters par
ticipating. The weather was perfect
the first day. July 1st, and scores ran
very high, Geo. Kreger of Redfeld
breaking 1913 out of 200 and G. r. Cook
of Oakes got 1872 out of the 200. The
second day stiff head wind prevailed,
which, while it did not mar the pleas
ure of the sport, it worked a uniform
handicap on everyone and kept the
boys from getting chesty over their
scores.
The full program was carried through
both days without hitch.
The professionals and manufacturers
agents present were royal bunch and
kept everybody jollied all the time.

"Say nothing, but saw wood, T"
seems to be the slogan in the Silver

The young ladies are all working
like busy bees, but they are holding
no their votes and there will be little

there will be count of votes to de
eide the winner of the big 10000 cou-
pom, which will be awarded to the
young lady securing the greatest num-

Good lists have bees secured by a
number of the contestants, but they
prefer to hold their coupons until Sat
urday, when there will. be a veritabie

ali after new names this week and
if there is house in the district or
down the valley that is not covered

this controversy it Will be purely an
oversight of the young ladies. Most OF
the candidates are doing systematic
work this week--that is, making a

contest editor that she would add M
least 500 names 10 the Silver Belts = b.
