Judge Charles c. Mott. jr. for

crease in enrolment as to make the
question Of seating q problem. It has
been suggested. humorously, that
hunks be placed on the walls to aid
the congestion. Conditions in some
Of the grades are no better. Tho
children Of Oakes are rs good as there
are any place and surely are deserv-
ing Of better accommodations.
Thinking people Of Oakes should
not dismiss the matter on the ground
that there are no funds available, for
that Is IN evasive excuse and does not
solve the difficulty. The good people
Of Oakes should deliberate on tho
matter and use every means at their
command to meet the crying demands
Of their schools.
Personal feelings and ideas should
be put aside for the broader view Of
what is best for the children and the
community. Enlightened discussion
is urged.

COMMUNICATED

A matter that must sooner or later
confront the people Of Oakes is the
question Of making adequate accomo-
dations for their children in the pub
lie schools. Oakes has for some time
maintained q high Standard in the
state for its school system. In the
not very distant future, that standard
will be challenged.
The Oakes public schools are now
over-crowded SO badly as to seriously
hamper the work in many depart
ments. The high school ard eighth

bad. It was great. Those who miss
ed "Tommy's Wife" at the opera
house by home cast missed rare
treat and . good laugh. The little
drama was rendered in an apparently
faultless manner. The personnel was
well chosen and the stage setting was
fine. Tommy, the handsome yourg
artist in the person of J. F. Nichols,
our esteemed insurance hustler,
quickly won the hearts Of the audi
ence. Mrs. Jenkins as Rose, Tom
my's sister, cleverly acted her part,
even to playing the role Of Tommy's
wife Is the plot unfolded. Mrs.
Brastad was perfectly At home behind
the footlights and very admirably
took the part Of Patty Campbell. .
beautiful and accomplished college girl
who in the grand elimination Of
events becomes Tommy's wife. Mrs.
Dady rs II by some magical art was
transformed into a stately. matronly
lady Of great wealth and social stand
ing and the part Of Sylvia, her beau
tiful will-o-the-wisp daughter, was
well taken by Mrs. J. F. Nichols.
John Thompson was faultless in his
representation Of Dick Crannis, a jo-
vial young man who is in love with
Rose. Mrs. Christensen, alias Edith
Bronson, was charming as a little
home body and peace maker. The
most difficult part was taken by Mrs.
Cochrane, who posed as Pierre LIE
Bouton. an apparently slightly unbal-
anced Frenchman, whose infatuation
for Rose finally brings him to the
point Of desperation and Tommy and
Dick to the point of a very ancient
fircarm.
Mrs. Cochrane's mastery of "ze
