Announcement.

The Oakes Electric Light and Power
Company wishes to announce to the
citizens of Oakes that we will be pre-
pared on or before April /, 1912, to wire
buildings. sell and install fixtures and
will handle a general line of electrical
goods at greatly reduced prices. Our
electricians are all competent men and
all work will be done in accordance
with the rules of the national code of
underwriters, therefore eliminating
danger from exposed wires, which
cause fires and poor service.
Owing to the price of copper wire
being advanced during the last month
and prospects for further advances, we
have already placed an order for suffi-
cient wire to wire every building in
Oakes and it is our intention to furnish
wire to our patrons at practically
wholesale price, freight added, provid-
ing the work IS done by US and done
before the plant is started. We have
two reasons for wiring buildings, furn-
ishing material and selling and INSTALL
ing fixtures at reduced prices.
First-It assures at least one-third
more lamps being installed which means
larger consumption of electric current.
Second-It has been our experience
that as soon as it has become known a
city Is to have an electric plant, unre.
liable electricians endeavor to secure
contracts for wiring of buildings ir
many cases charging excessive prices
and doing work unsatisfactory.
Parties desiring their building wired
will find it more satisfactory and cheaper
to have US do their work as the powe,
company will be new industry and g
big investment in your city, and it is oul
intention to give employment to as
many of your citizens as possible during
the installation of our plant.
We respectfully solicit your wiring
and fixture business.

Saving the Sunshine.

Most true conservationists will agree
with the Secretary of the Interior in
his condemnation of those loud takers
who spend their energies in discussing
the wickedne of waste without at the
same time being willing to assist in
any practicable plan to stop the evils
they so greatly deplore. We suspect,
however, that few, even of those good
citizens who believe in the wisest use
of natural resources and who are sin
cerely eager to safeguard the public
good both now and hereafter, realize
how easy it is to neglect opportunities
for conservation which lie at our door.
The coal and forests in Alaska are of
vast Importance, but the discharge of
our duty with regard to them will not
occupy much of our time. A nearer
need is to see that we make the best
use of natural resources in our own
back yards. How about making 1.-TWO
blades of grass grow where one grew
before?" Why isn't that just as i'm
portant as keeping the coal or saving
the streams or doing any of the thous-
and and one things that we individually
can only talk about. Our truest con-
servatonists are those gardeners and
farmers who catch the sunshine and
husband the rain and strive intelligently
to keep pace in production with the
increase of the non-agricultural popu-
lation.
The need of conservation of food-sup-
plying resources is obvious. There are
more people in America every year and
every year the soil if unreplenished is
impoverished. The area of rich land
decreases and the cost of living rises.
Conservation of the potential power of
sun and soil is the only reasonable solu-
ton of the problem of nation-feeding and
just here is our opportunity. What is
for the nations good is also for our
individual profit. The wise use Of the
soil means money in our pockets.
The very greatest product of land is
derived from ''intensive gardening"
Through generations of intelligent
selection and breeding thoroughbred
seeds have been developed whose yield
far surpasses in quality and quantity
that of the ordinary strains. You can
be true conservationist if you have a
successful garden. Be sure however
to start right by planting thorough
bred seeds. These can be bought of
seedmen having sufficient capital and
experience to know what they are
about and a reputation to maintain.

COMING TO OAKES
Associated Doctors--Well Known and
Successful Specialists at Vinkle
Hotel. Hours 8 am. to 5 pm.
One Day Only-.Free Consultation
to All.

Rockefeller, one of the richest men
living, announced that he would give a
million dollars to any physician who
could give him new stomach but it
was too late. Don't let it be too late
with you, no matter what your trouble
is, you can make money and enjoy life
when you have health, but you can't
always have health even if you have
money.
The Associated Doctors, as the name
implies, are several specialists who
have combined in the treatment of
chronic and nervous diseases. The re-
markable success in their treatment of
these diseases has aroused much en-
thusiasm in the north west states in
which they travel.
The many testimonials received and
new cases recommended by former
patients is due to their mode of treat
ment and careful selection of cases, as
they do not treat acute diseases or
those too far gone.>
The following is partial list of all
ments treated: as troubles of eye,
ear, nose and throat, as catarrh, deaf
ness, stomach, intestines, blood, skin,
nerves, lungs, heart, as asthma. con-
sumption, weakness, dizziness, SWELL
ings, kidney, bladder, bed wettng,
rheumatism, and cases people call
private troubles.
With their system of treatment no
operations for appendicitis, gall stones,
tumors and goitre.
No matter what you may think or
others have told you regarding your
ailment consult the doctors on this
trip as it may be your last chance to
see specialist. For all those who
call on this trip there'll be NO
CHARGE for examination and con-
sultation.

Odd Fellows at Cogswell.

Another district meeting of the Odd
Fellows was held last night This time
it was at Cogswell, and about thirty of
the boys from Oakes Lodge went down
to witness the work, which was ex-
emplified on all degrees. Glendale
went prepared to put on the work of
the initlatory degree, but the Cogswell
team got in ahead and exemp'ified it
instead. Picked teams from the Oakes
and Cogswell lodges put on the first
and second, and Oakes did itself proud
in putting on the work of the third de-
gree. The floor work was good and the
boys responded to the hearty encore.
Ludden furnished two of the candidates.
Seven in all were given the scarlet de-
gree. Members were present from
Glendale, Fullerton, Ludden and La
Moure. The Cogswell brethren served
nice banquet in the hotel at midnight.

The above is the likeness of one of
the pioneer settlers of Keystone town
ship who is one of the best known men
in the county. There is not a man,
woman, child or animal who knows the
old veteran but loves and respects
him and the Journal considers it a
privilege to print brief sketch of the
life of the man who has done so much
for the county and state, as we'll as for
his country.
Mr.. Northrop is a New Yorker by
birth, a Badger by adoption and a
Flickertail by absorption and choice,
having been born in New York at Os-
wego, and at the age of two years 60
ing with his parents to Wisconsin, and
few years later. in 1882, coming to
North Dakota and locating at Boynton.
He is veteran of the Civil War. He
saw much active service, having been
under fire for 80 days and gained an
enviable record as soldier.
In 1871 MIR. Northrop was married to
Miss Josephine Lumsden at Elkhorn,
Wis. Eight children came to brighten
their home, seven of whom are living
and in whose companionship Mr.. Nor
throp today finds much peace and COM
fort. The strong influenc of loving
wife and devoted mother helped to
smooth many of the rough places in
life until the Angel of Dea h came to
claim his own some eight years ago.
He was appointed treasurer of this
county when it was organized and was
later elected to that office. He was
also member of the state legis-
lature and was instrumental in secur-
/ ing the first appropriation for the Nor
NAL Industrial at Ellendale., He has
been for several years trying to secure
appropriations for the Whitestone
Battlefield and has succeeded in getting
the monument and is still corresponding
with the proper officers with view to
getting morey to still further beautify
what will some day be national park
The life of this man has been well
spent. He has records that any boy
may we'll aspire to equal, and he is now
enjoying the fruits of a we'll spent life,
which is peace and contentment, and 8
firm faith in the good things in store
for those who are faithful to thei,
trust. Monango Journal.

THE BUSINESS MEN OF 0AKEs.

I've lived in many different climes;
Met many different folks.
But never have found place
That suited me like Oakes.
With it's people all so genial,
So thoughtful of each other,
Whene'er you meet man of Oakes,
You feel you've met brother.
With this air so fresh and bracing,
Which only God can give,
We feel so glad that we here,
If only just to live.
Two years we've had of drouth and hail,
Of hoppers and wind galore,
Which caused an almost total loss
And made us all feel poor.
There's not much corn in any crib
Or grain in any bin;
But there are lots of noble hearts
Among our business men.
They say; "Were going to do our best
To help you, Jim Tor DAM;
So if you can't pay all of it,
Why, pay just what you can"
Discouraged No, that's not the word
That's something we don't know.
Who feel that all these trials come
Because God willed it so.
Then as we bow to His great will
Let's each one search his heart.
think we'll find beyond doubt
That we've not done our part.
Yes, each one of us must admit
We've failed beyond a doubt
To bring in all the good we could,
And cast the evil out.
Then let's be one great brotherhood
In doing all we can
To cheer and comfort saddened hearts
And lift up fallen man.
Then if the time should come again
When crops were not so good,
Twill be comfort just to know
We've done the best we could.
Then let's notbe discouraged,
Success is ON the way.
1t just remains for us to work
With willing hands each day.
To plow and SOW, to plant and hoe,
But let's cut out the wheat.
Hogs do so we'll, try them a spell,
And give them lots to eat.
Let's raise more corn, and milk more cows,
And do our very best.
Let's use that faculty called brains
And give our hands a rest.
Let's haul the litter from the barns,
And spread it on the field
Twill stop the soil from blowing so,
And help increase the yield.
Twill make the barnyard look more neat,
And helps bring in more chink.
Say, have you ever thought of that?
say, it pays to think.
Let's SOW some Grimm like that in MINI.
And give it proper care,
1t don't take many loads of that
To make millionaire.
And when, with money in the bank,
We write home to the folks.
Let's all give credit to
The business men of Oakes.

TELLS ON THE KIDNEYS
OeaIa People Have Found This to be
True

The strain Of overwork tells on the
weakened kidneys more quickly than
on any other organ Of the body. The
hurry and worry Of business men, the
heavy lifting and stopping of work
men. the women's household cares,
tend TO wear. weaken and injure the
kidneys until they can no longer filter
the poison from the blood and the
whole body suffers from the waste
matter that accumulates. The weak
ened kidneys need quick assistance.

A PLURALITY
Already Secure In the Democratic Con-
vention for Wilson, and His
Nomination Exceedingly
Likely

Washington, March 5.-That the op-
ponents of Woodrow Wilson virtually
admit the New Jersey governor viii
go into the Baltimore convention with
a plurality, if not a majority, OF the
votes, Is proven by the face that their
agents are industriously spreading the
report that If even Wilson gets a ma
jority he cannot get the necessary
two-thirds vote required by democrat
ic traditions and rules. Some OF these
agents point out that Bland was de-
fealed in 1886 by Bryan, although the
Missourian had a majority on the first
ballot. The best answer TO this state
ment, say friends Of Gov. Wilson, is
that IL isn't true Theer were 76S
votes in the Chicago convention Of
1896 On the first ballot Mr. Bland led
with 255, less than one-third of the
whole, and the next highest man was
Mr.. Bryan with 119 votes. BANDS
highest vote was in the third ballot
when he received 2s1 TO Bryan's 2I9.
No other candidate mustered more
than a hundred votes. On the fifth
ballot Bryan was nominated.
Further analysis of the history of
political conventions shows that the
bugaboo about the two-thirds rule and
its deadlocks and dark horses is un-
founded In the present instance the
wish is apparently father 10 the
thought, since the most earnest talk
ers about the dangers of the two
thirds rule are the very men who
would like to see a dark horse named.
\ man who ever received a major
ity of the votes in a democratic ma
tional convention ever failed to get the
necessary two-thirds with the one ex-
ception of Martin Van Buren, in 1874
Dark horses have been nominated by
democratic conventions only three
times-Polk in 1914. Pierce in 1852 and
Seymour in 1868. In the other seven
teen Of the twenty conventions held by
the democrats since 1892 the man
with the plurality at the first has been
nominated. OF course exception must
be made in the case of 1860 when
Douglas nomination was made only
after bolt.
The repu blican party has held only
fourteen conventions and from the
first it has made nominations by ma
jority vote. Yet this system has pro-
duced three dark horses. Hayes, Gar
field and Harrison, and four times has
defeated the candidate who led on the
first ballot with a plurality.
In 1860 Seward had the plurality and
was defeated by Lincoln; in 1876
Blaine had the plurality and was de-
feated by Hayes: in 1880 Grant had the
plurality in his fight for a third term
and was defeated by Garfield, while in
I1Sss Sherman had the lead and wa.
beaten by Harrison.
