ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should Convince
any Oakes Citizen

The public endorsement Of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fcllow-citi-
zcns, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do so.
Telling ones experience when it is for
the public good is an act OF kindness
that should be appreciated The fol-
lowing statement given by resident
Of Oakes adds one more to the many
cases Of Home Endorsement which
are being published about Doan's

OAkES PEOPLE PRAISE
SIMPLE MIXTURE

Many in Oakes praise the simple
mixture of buckthorn bark, glycerine,
ETC., known as Adler-i-ka. This rem
edy is the most THOROUGH bowel
cleanser ever sold, being even used
successfully in appendicitis. ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE of constipation, sour or gassy
stomach. ONE MINUTE after you
take it the gases rumble and pass
out. Adler-i-ka cannot grippe and the
INSTANT action is surprising. Sim

Bresnahan and the owners of the
club are entitled to better service
than some of the athletes have given
them. The manager has worked dill
gently to put together a winning COM
binatiOn. He has put all his deter
minatiOn into the work, but some of
his people have not seen fit to follow
his lead.
The owners have paid as high SAL
aries, in the aggregate, as any other
club in the National league, and are
entitled to faithful work for the ex-

a man who shirked would quickly
find himself separated from the pay

President Gilmore of the Federal
league has sent an apt retOrt to Pres
ident Chaplin of the Rochester club
of the International league. Fielder
Jones of the SlOUfeds recently tempt
ed Infielder KOres from the Rochester
club and Chaplin has written Gilmore
explaining that he paid the Giants
$1,000 for KOres and wants to know
what redress he has.
Gilmore replies that Chaplin might
try the national commission, the gov
erning body of organized baseball,
which exercises a parental watch over
the minors. He declares that Garry
Hartmann, Ban Johnson and John
Tener are responsible for the pres
ent trouble.
Gilmore also points out to ChaPin
that Johnson advised some Of the
minor circuits that it would be a good
plan for them to close their gates for
the present season. -t
Maybe Foxy Jim is trying to help
Ban put this over.
Gilmore is also preparing a warm

SEES PROSPERITY IN MONTANA
Farming Conditions-Predicts
Bumper Crop for State.

Helena.-Sam d. GOA was in town
on business and in discussing the in
dustrial and farming conditions in the
state said:
Il have been around the state lately
and believe that there is greater pros
perity in Montana than in any other
state in the union. In every part Of
the state the prospect for a big crop
is splendid, and never before was
there SO much ground broken or so
great an area of farming land under
cultivation.
The Gallatin valley always looks
all right and it is as fine as ever this
year. In the Yellowstone, the Judith
basin, the Saltwater county region,
the northern part of the state, the
Ffathead country wherever l have
been, conditions are just the same.
There has been N abundance of rain
and the prospect for bumper crops
could not be better"
