DickEY COUNTY GOES OVER
TOP THE FIRST DAY

No trouble now to sell Liberty
bonds. 1t isn't even necessary to go
out and see the people. Just announce
where the sale is going on and they
go there and sign up.
Chairman Naylor and his helpers
have had their desk in front part Of
the Leader store. Oakes city had an
allotment of $49,750 and it is oversub-
scribed $3.50 and more coming in
every day. The advice is to keep the
roll open until Oct. 10Th. SO all may
have chance.
The townships are all oversub-
scribed and nearly all are being paid
in cash. One township we hear has
paid all cash with applications, with
the exception of one man. who said
he would pay in full soon as his
threshing was done.
The county's quota is $3.50, 900. and
it has already gone over the 100000
mark.

29th. Cast anchor about eleven
o'clock, and the exiled thirty went
ashore late in the afternoon, after un-
loading many tons of freight. We
were in heavy marching order, and
marched to Asan, about three miles,
our home for twenty-one days while
in quarantine. Nothing to do but work
all day cutting grass with bolo,
building a rifle range, etc. All the
spare time was spent foraging for CO.
coanuts to keep the tiny spark going,
it seems that the Asan mess had got
ten in the hole, and we got there just
in time to help them out. The food
was good what there was of it. They
feed better now than any place on the
Island. - -
The band has quit playing now so
l can't write. You have to have in
spiration here to do anything like
writing letter. We have band con-
cert every evening and that's the
only time I forget am in Guam.
While am conscious of being in
Guam, can't be conscious of any,
thing else. Concentration is impos-
sible here, for instance reading. It's
almost impossible to read anything
deeper than Snappy Stories or some
exciting detective story. I've started
to read at least half dozen good
books in the past week, but couldn't
get interested. Maybe I'll try to add
some more to this some evening
while the band is playing Traumeri.
Continued next week.

SCHOOL NOTES

We have been furnished with some
statictics in regard to the school en-
rollment and activities which are very
gratifying to the teachers, and will be
undoubtedly also to the Cakes pub
lie.
The High School, which resumed
its sessions last week after the pro-
longed summer vacation, has a record
enrolment Of 81 already registered,
considerably SURPRISING the former
high water mark of SO, the total for
the school year 1861. In consider
alton of the wartime conditions, be-
cause of which it was feared that the
attendance might drop off somewhat,
this large increase in the number of
students is doubly pleasing to those in
charge.
The total enrolment for the entire
school, including the eight grades and
high school, is 321. Janitor Bjerklin
is kept busy putting in new seats.
AAO JuAAVA 1ACO NlO6S HAS COllcCL6O
at the school houses over 125 lbs. of
peach pits. ETC., as requested by the
government for use in the manufac-
ture of gas masks. If any family hav.
ing no children in school has any such
pits or nut shells to turn in, a phone
call to Superintendent Gould will
bring some school pupil to collect
them.
The sale of w. S. S. and thrift
stamps has also started off with d
boom. The first seven grades, the
only ones organized for their sale.
last week purchased some $4,000 OF
these securities through the school
agency.
Through the patriotic generosity OF
Mr.. Seifert, of the c. M. C. store, who
contributed the materials, a banner
has been made by the domestic
science department which is awarded
each week to the room leading in saw
ings during the preceding week.
This w. S. s. banner makes its initial
appearance this week in the third
grade room, whose pupils came to
the front with $63.50 worth of stamps
purchased last week.

Rates ALL
ALONG THE LINE

Rates are going up for light, heat

enforce the higher schedule ii necessary.
Following is the letter sent to the city
council:
General Utilities Corporation
EXCHANGE BANK BLDG.
I Public Utilities
Saint Paul September 30, 1918
To the Honorable Mayor & City
Council,
Oakes, N. D.
Gentlemen:
We hand you herewith notice and
schedule of rates we have today been
compelled to send to our patrons in
your city. 1t is with genuine regret
that we, take this step but frankly
state that We have no choice in the
matter as we must at once take steps
to provide the necessary revenue to
pay our actual operating expenses.
interest and taxes, and maintain our
property, or close the plants.
We have had many problems ana
trials to contend with during the past
two years in order to maintain ser,
vice in your city, but have kept our
troubles to ourselves and have post
poned taking this step, hoping condf-
tions would improve, until we are now
compelled to act and quickly.
AS pointed out in the enclosed
notice, it is only fair to you as the
city government, that should you feel
that this step is not justified or that
the City should and could own and
operate the plant more economically
and to better advantage than our
selves, we will, upon request, meet
with you with view of having an
audit made of receipts and disburse-
ments, and proper appraisals made of
the physical property, all with view
Of your purchasing the property.
We do not know how We can meet
present conditions in any other way
than above stated. 1t is not a matter
of profit to ourselves, as all thought
of profit has been set aside, at least
for the period of the war, but only
the protection of the thousands Of
dollars actually invested in the prop
erty, practically all Of which has been
borrowed from the public. This must
and will receive protection, If not by
us, by the courts, and such protection
can only come by a revenue sufficient
to cover the aforementioned items,
namely, actual production costs, in
terest charges, taxes and mainten-
ance.
Yours very truly,
General Utilities Corporation
