Made 3 Mistake.

Through an unfortunate mis. take by shipping clerk in the employ of the Western Newspaper Union in Denver, THE OASIS has been delayed in getting out this Holiday edition The special illuminated cover which appears herewith was ordered and arrived in ample time; but upon opening the package on Tuesday, It was found the shipping clerk had put up covers of the wrong size--a six. column page instead of 2 four.column page as ordered. There was telegraphing in hot haste and Wednesday the Western Newspaper Union wired they had shipped covers of the right size by express. If no connection was
 missed the shipment should have
 come last night; but a snow storm l in Colorado delayed trains and connections were missed. The delayed covers are expected this
 evening and the edition will ap' pear tomorrow-Sunday.

A STATEMENT.


 anyone who thinks and attemp to be honest with himself.
 The number of scratched bal lots" should be sufficient proof toi any thinking person that the fetichism of the term "Democra" and Republican" is fully exposed and understood by people who do their own thinking, and the malor' ity can no longer be made 'uo' servient to party, if that party'' intent and method are wrong.
 Man it but an atom in the gen. sral plan. Before God made man. He made a natural law to govern him. That law was thoroughly tested and found to be perfect be- fore Adam was created and m lde a subject of it. Adam violated  that law, and natural death was the penalty. His descendants, in majority, lost all sight of this law, and became excessive in their vol ation of it. Unnatural death was their penalty. God preserved Noah, and destroyed all others. After that destruction He promised not to do so again while the earth lasts.
 Humanity again descended the scale to that ebb where Divine in teryention had to come to the rescue. God, in his patience and mercy, sent Christ to live the life man should live, and give man ot the earth a practical and visible lesson. That life was lived, noted, copied and initiated, resulting in improved conditions until the Elev- enth or Twelfth century after Christ, when sel6shness again gained the ascendency by with holding learning from the masses and allowing it to the few only. This minority contained its good, and this good was given a tre' mendous impetus by the priesthood and by Luther. After them came Abraham Lincoln, who, as Henry Wat;erson, says, was of and from God.

Fargo Forum: The clerk of the
United States district court has re-
ceived stipulation for the dismissal

J. A. Laingen, a prominent North Da-
kotan, living near Berlin, for 1000.

complaint alleged that Laingen mar
ried one Luella Peterson, while the
plaintiff had remained. and still re-
manned willing to marry the defend

gray hairs appear it is sign that Ma

hair, or hair that Is falling out, is not
necessarily a sign Of advancing age, for
there are thousands Of elderly people
with perfect heads Of hair without a
single streak Of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when tho
hair seems to be lifeless or dead, some
good. reliable hair-restOring treatment
Should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one Of the best prepare
tons to use is the old-fashioned ''sage
tea" which our grandparents used. The
hest preparation Of this kind is Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, prep
aration of domestic sage and sulphur,
scientifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimulspts. tho
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is clean and
wholesome and perfectly harmless. 1t
refreshes dry, parched hair, removes
dandruff and gradually restores faded or
gray hair to its natural color.
This preparation is offered to the
public ut fifty cents bottle, and Is
recommended and sold by all druggists.

SLOPE COUNTRY
Proximity Of the Baseball Season
Arouses Enthusiasm and Business
Men respond Generously.

With the opening of the season in
the major baseball leagues the local
enthusiasts of the national sport have
determined to organize a team in the
capital city this summer if it is by
any means possible. Accordingly
some of the business men were waited
upon Tuesday and Wednesday and
asked to subscribe what they felt they
could for the support of such an aggre'
Sgation in Bismarck. The efforts of
the solicitors met with a reasonable
degree of success and the hackers of
the movement are very hopeful that
they will raise the $1,000 which will
be needed to assure a team at the
state capital.
When the Missouri Slope league
was organized at Dickinson few
days ago, Glen Ullin, New Salem and
Manadn were left out. These three
towns now want to join hands with
the Bismarck boys and organize a
four team league to play in this Sec
ton Of the slope. country The re-
newed interest which is being taken
in the organization of baseball team
for the city would indicate that local
lovers of the game will have an op-
portunity to witness several splendid
contests on the Bismarck Diamond
this summer A baseball meeting OF
all who are interested will be held
at the commercial cub rooms in the
near future to perfect plans of organi.
cation.

RECIPROCITY At WASHINGTON

RECIPROCITY At WASHINGTON
North Dakota will send a dele
cation of representative citizens to
Washington and they will present in
person to the president of the United
States the reasons why the entire
Northwest is opposed to the Canadian
Reciprocity treaty. This is result
of the state convention held at Grand
Forks this week. 1t is pretty gener.
ally understood that there will be 4
great amount of pressure brought to
bear upon the president and the mem.
bers of congress in an effort to get
the treaty ratified. The pressure will
however, all be brought by powerful
interests who are looking for their
own benefit and apparently do not
care how much others are injured If
only they can profit. The appeal for
a fair deal that will eminate from the
Northwest, however, it is hoped will
more than Offset the arguments put
forward by the interests. The refusal
of Congress to ratify the treaty can
not possibly do harm to anyone but
if the treaty measure is passed and
is agreed to by Canada it does mean
that the farmers of the Northwest will
be compelled to accept less price
for their grain and will not be able
to secure the necessities of life at a
correspondingly lower price on &C.
count of the treaty. At the city of
Washington it i probable that things
have an entirely different appearance
and the president is undoubtedly do
ing what he thinks is the right thing
in endorsing the proposed treaty and
making every effort in his power to
have it passed at the extra session
of congress, but it is just possible
that he will change his mind when
he hears the personal explanation
that is going to be made by the repre-
sentation from the state of North Da'
kota. 1t is to be hoped for the sake
OF the prosperity of the Northwest
tn the president will be made to see
the reciprocity business in the right
light.

FARMING BUSINESS INCREASES.

The report of the census bureau in
regard to the agricultural business in
the state has been made public and
is printed in this issue OF the Trib-
une.
To the average observer the long list
OF figures and the tabulated figures
at the end of the report will look dry
and uninteresting, but to the man
who is interested in the growth and
development of the state it is mighty
interesting. There are increases not
ed in nearly every department of farm
life and the increases are mostly fig
ured in the hundreds of per cent. The
number of farm homes free from in
cumbrance was not so large in 1910
as it was in 1909, but this does not
mean that the country is not pros
porous but simply is an indication of
the large number of new settlers who
have come to the country and who
have placed mortgages upon their
places in order to get the necessary
equipment with which to conduct their
farming operations. There are many
people in the state today who are
known as rich farmers" who have
some incumbrance upon their proper
ty, but who if it came to a general
cleanup, would be worth thousands of
dollars and all this class are enumer.
ated among those who have 'incum-
brances" on their property.
One other decrease noted is in the
amount of fertilizers used, and while
this is probably a good indication as
to the quality of soil in the state it is
not so good an advertisement for the
farmers as might at first glance ap-
pear, 1t is true that there is another
side of the question and that is that
when the census speaks of fertilizers
it means commercial fertilizers and
not that which is accumulated on the
farm itself. 1t is pretty generally
understood that the farmers of the
state are becoming alive to the value
Of manure when spread over their
acres and probably in that sense
there has been an increase instead
of a decrease in the amount of fer
tilizers used.
One other decrease is noted and that
is in the number of negro or non-white
farmers in the state. Just what the
reason for the removal of the negro
is is hard to state but their number
was very small in 1909 and it would
mean only small change either way
to run the percentage up rather high.

One of the many indications of pro
gress among the farmers of the state
is the building of several silos this
spring and which will be filled this
summer. 1t has been the experience
of all who have tried this feed that
ensilage makes the best possible fod
der for cattle
