UNCLE SAM COUNTS
NOSES THIS MONTH
Important as Basis of Popula-
ton and Industrial Sta
tistics
Farm Schedules Distributed
Should Receive Care
full Attention

The census begins April Is and must
be completed in 80 days.
Ross Hutsinpiller has been appointed
enumerator for Oakes and will begin
work tomorrow. All citizens should
lend their assistance toward complete
and accurate census of our city.
The same advise will apply to all
parts of the county and state. Statis-
tics are our most convincing arguments
with prospective settlers.
The enumerators must wear a badge
inscribed Omitted States Census, 1910. I"
The law requires every adult person
to furnish the prescribed information,
but also provides that it shall be treat
ed confidentially, so that no injury can
come TO any person from answering the
questions.
The Census Bureau, prior to April Is,
will distribute to every farm owner and
tenant in this state blank schedule
containing the Census question relative
to farm operations and equipment. This
should be flied up, if possible, no later
than the morning of April Is, but if
anyone has been unable to fill it up by
that time, he should do it as soon after
wards as he can.
People who do not speak English OF
who do not understand the schedule
completly, should get help from others,
if possible, in 6lling;it up.
The president has issued a procla.
nation, calling on all citizens to co.
operate with the Census and assuring
them that it has nothing to do with
taxation, army or jury service, com
pu}sory school attendance, regulation d
immigration, or enforcement of any
law, and that no one can be injured BY
answering the inquiries.
1t is Of the utmost Importance thai
the farm census Of this state be com
plete and correct.
Therefore every farm owner and ten
ant should promptly. fully, and accu
rately 6u up the Advance Farm Seized
ule'' and carefully preserve it for tn
enumerator whensi1e calls.

In response to call, a number of
sportsmen gathered in Glendale, on the
evening of3April 9Th, and made the
movement, started some little time ago,
for the Inauguration of some method for
the enforcement for our game law and
the protection of our game birds, per-
manent.
The report of the committee on con-
rstitution and bylaws gave a report and
presented a carefully prepared consti-
tuition and bylaws, which. after some
amendments: and corrections, were
adopted.
The name adopted-''Dickey County
Fish and Came Protective Associa-
tom is very fitting; it sets forth the
primary object of'the organization. The
bylaws provide, as officers, a president.
viee-president, secretary-treasurer,
who together with five additional mem
bers. one each to be elected from the
several towns Of the county, are to
act as q board of directors. -

year, resulted as, follows:
President. F. L. Walker, Glendale
Vice-president, ]. w. Bush, Oakes.
Secretary-treasurer, ]. c. J. Charter,
Forbes. Directors. F. X. Luther, Mo-
mango. J. w. Crabtree, Merricourt-
Lee Samson, Ludden. .. D. Root,
Guelph. E. S. Thomas, Fullerton.
The association ordered 500 copies of
the constitution and bylaws printed,
and the secretary will be in a position to
furnish those who may desire a copy.
and those who wish to become members
Of this association, may do 90 by sign
ing the pledge and renting the men,
bership fee Of 50cents to the secretary.
This association is in earnest, and
they so expressed themselves; reward
of fifty dollars will be paid to anyone,
other than 2 game warden, who will
furnish information of the violation Of
the game laws, ta1atwill lead to convic-
tion Of the guilty party or parties.
A number of special deputy game
wardens have been appointed through
out the country, and those who violate
the game laws may be arrested at any
time within two years after violation
has been committed.
The state laws also provided that any
informant may be paid ten dollars, by

Silver Medal Contest.

The medal contest entertainment
Saturday evening in the M. E. church
resulted in the presentation Of three
silver medals to three worthy young
people, two from 'Oakes and one from
Havana.
Miss Edith Rateman of the girls class,
Emil Bell Of the boys class in Oakes,
and Jefery johnson from Havana were
the winning contestants. As usual
with Mrs. Waterman's classes, the
judges found it hard to decide and a
vote taken by the audience would have
revealed votes for each different reader
because of the resl excellence of all the
work. The other readers were Jimmy
Huffman, Edwin MUNICH. Helen Cog
shell, Ella Nepstad and Gwennie Huff
man. The boys from Havana drove
over. They were Edwin Goltz, Louis
johnson and Jeffery Johnson. Mrs.
Waterman, in introducing the boys
spoke Of their dauntless courage and in
vincible determination to win out and
help in good cause.
Ovation after ovation greeted the
Havana orators. Louis johnson spoke
of Prohibition the Battleax" against
the saloon and the sentiment was made
his very own, and his clear, strong voice
made every point ring out 80 that even
the boys who disturbed the other readers
by performances in the hall. stopped to
listen. Then Edwin Goltz gave COM
mercial reasons for no saloons.
A season Of introduction and congrtu-
lation followed the program. Many
Of the fine features that were in
tended for the program, had to be ON
mitted on account of the number Of
readers present.
The children's parade was a very
pleasing feature Of the evening, Miss
Dagna Swanson led the parade and the
children were q bright and enthusiastic
part Of the audience. Hazel Locke
was given gold pin for selling the
most tickets. The receipts will just
about cover expenses, though Mrs.
Oneal and Mrs. Andrews cared for the
Havana boys free of charge.
There is plenty Of talent In Oakes and
many Of our young folks are willing Ia
prepare fine programs for temperance
and righteousness, but they receive very
little encouragement. Has Oakes no
need Of temperance? Are there no
young boys getting started on the
wrong road? Are we going to slumber
on and let our beautiful gardens be
overgrown with weeds?
Some day God viii ask Of Us "Where
are thy Aocks, thy beautiful fllocks7''
And we will answer q While we slum.
bered and slept the wolves came and
devoured them" God forbid.
Mrs. Waterman.

Pepper and Salt'' Seems to Have

Especial Favorite.

All the smart costumes of the

best of all for wear These, in the
imported cloths and in our own home

variety is not lacking.
Speaking of fabrics, it is said that

TRIUMPHED OVER ROUGH SEA
Experiments Show That Soapsuds Are
Fully as Effective as the
Use of Oil.

1t is in order to vary the phrase
pouring oil on the troubled waters"
by substituting the word "soapsuds'
for oil. Experiments have shown
that soapsuds will reduce a sea al
most as well as oil.
The first trial was made on a
freighter in storm on the Atlantic.
A large quantity Of soap and water
was discharged over the bow and its
effect was nearly instantaneous, the
height of the waves being SO dimin-
ished that the vessel could be man
aged without difficulty.
The steamer Senegal, struck by
a squat in the Adriatic, used soap
and water with the same result. Six
pounds of soap were dissolved in
two barrels of water. This solution
when dripped over the bow made a
quiet space about ten yards wide,
preventing the sea from breaking
over the vessel to any considerable
extent.

effective where there are large petals,

both of these done in the rose pink.

SLIGHTLY ANXIOUS.

A writer in the London News says
that Mr.. Lloyd George may console
himself for the attacks that are be-
ing made upon him by the reflection
that Mr.. Gladstone was, in his day,
. similar sufferer. Sir Wilfrid Law
son, in his autobiography, quotes an
instance Of the misunderstanding
to which the G. O. NJ. was subject.

Mr.. Gladstone was at funeral. An
old lady who was there asked who
he was, and, on being told that it
was Mr.. Gladstone, said in some
anxiety: oh, / hope he's not going
to make disturbance"

A NEW JERSEY "MEAhEsT."

Many ssmeanest' men have been
branded lately, but one New Jersey
citizen who takes first prize in that
class was discovered recently. This
heartless individual had been on un-
friendly terms with his wife for a
week because she had contracted
with dentist to repair her teeth.
The job was partly finished, nearly
every one of the woman's teeth hav-
ing been extracted to make room for
a plate. Her husband, to vent his
spleen, purchased for her use only
the stalest bread the baker had in
his shop.

Aurelia's

By e EMILE LOVETT

On the second and third day after
launching into a career as postman,
Durard reflected with considerable
surprise upon the number of letters
delivered by him directed to Miss
Aureia Stone, and on the following
day openly expostulated with the
girl, who, with dazzling smile and
cheeks like the heart of rose, came
in response to his ring at the bell.
Backs most broke carrying mail

ing out the letters one by one.

The soft, dark eyes of the girl

EARS ALWAYS GROWING.

GA curious thing about ears which
the anthropologists have only just
made known" says Science siftings,
'Sis that they continue to grow
through life. A woman with small,
shell-like ears at 20 years Of age will
have medium-sized ears at 40 and
rather large ones, perhaps, at 60. No
one knows why ears should behave in
this way. Noses do not do it and
there is no known method of re-
straining their growth"

BOYS GOOD CLAIM TO FAME
Younqster Who Had the Honor Of
starting" the Niagara Falls
Suspension Bridge.

Some years ago there died in Ne
braska a man named Walsh, who,
as boy, Started" suspension
bridge.
When Walsh was about ten years
old the first steps for the construc-
ton of the suspension bridge at Nj
agara were taken. The first thing
necessary was the stretching Of a
single wire across the chasm. The
engineer in charge had thought Of
a way to get it across.
sWhat boy is the best kite flyer
in town." he asked.
The Walsh boy was named as the
best kite flyer in the town of Nj
agara Falls and the engineer ac-
cordingly asked that he be brought
to him. He was made to understand
that he must fly his kite across the
Niagara river. He flew it across
and allowed it to come down on the
other side. Men were there to seize
it. Then the engineer attached
wire to the string on his side and
tie men on the other side detached
the kite and by means Of the string
drew the wire across. By this, in
turn, cable was drawn across and
the bridge was well begun.

TO KEEP MOTHS FROM PIANO.

It wasn't the rent he was after,
the piano man said; he just wanted
to fix the piano, that was all.
"Tune it, do you mean?" asked
the woman.
"Oh,. no." said he; tsto fight the
moths"
Then he opened the case and tied
little bags of camphor in the cor
ners.
sWe do that two or three times a
year with all our rented pianos," he
said. eff some kind of a preventive
is not used there is danger of moths
getting into the felt back of the key
board. We can't depend upon the
renters to attend to that little job
for us, SO we send one of our men

IN PRAISE OF VACCINATION
Philadelphia Physician Insists It has
Done Much to Rid the World
Of Scourge.

Discussing smallpox and vaccina-
ton, DR.. G. r. Weber of Philadel-
phia said that smallpox was intro
duced into America by the Span
iards in their conquests and in the
eighteenth century was widely
spread, becoming a great scourge.
cat certain period one out of eT-
cry three deaths was due to small
pox, said the physician. ON a
single century, the eighteenth. it is
said, it had 6o,OOO,OOO victims.
France at one epoch losing 100000
600 lives through this cause. Chill
dren under five years were its chief
sufferers.
"Jenner discovered vaccination in
the eighteenth century. DR.. Benia-
min Waterhouse of Boston was so
Impressed with the news from Eng
land that he vaccinated three of his
sons and sent them to the smallpox
hospital to test the value of the dis
covery. None of them took the dis
ease.
Vaccination is most efficient
preventive and as such is recognized
everywhere. Germany requires two
vaccinations of children, one in the
first year of life and one at 12; Ja-
pan requires three" DR.. Weber
said that as to requiring vaccination
this country was in state far from
desirable. More supervision and
greater insistence as to forms were
necessary. Money and cost were not
to be weighed against public health
and safety.-Washingto Herald.

MADE PLACE IN LANGUAGE.

"Mob" is the only one of the abb
breviated words protested against by
Dean Swift which has conquered
even the purists of speech. '1ncog"
is still short Of responsibility, and
SSphiz" (physiognomy) very far SO.
However, other abbreviated forms
have won. A cabriolet is a 'cab" to
everybody now, though to Dickens
Mr.. Raddle it was still "cabrioly."
SMiss" for mistress" s'piano" for
s'pianoforte" and Sweets" for
'sweetmcats' are universal. Never
theless, many people still apologize
for 'bus" instead Of omnibus" and
wage a losing fight against phone"
and against "photo."

quire black eyes by walking careless

Since bruised eyes may cause seri
GUS trouble, some precaution such as
the following would be quite worth
while:

accustomed places always raise the
arm to about the level of the nose
and keep it bent there, to protect the
face and chest.

PUSH USE OF ELECTRICITY.

In London a company has been
formed to introduce and encourage
the use of electricity in the poorer
districts of the city. The company
agrees to wire and supply any apart
ment of three rooms and over with
tantalum lamps, charging five cents
a week for each lamp from April to
September and seven cents a week
for the rest of the year. The lamps,
however, must be renewed by the
consumer.
