If the energy that is spent each year by our very able business men and cit izens in opposing and in some cases it amounts even to abus- ing one another, could be turn ed to working for the upbuild- ing of the town and community, Williams would soon come into her own. ,,@.. .

sFrom One Who Was There
Editor Williams News,

Dear Sir:
 I-saw a little piece in the News about what a critic of the transportation system. U. s. Army in France has to say. He says that if the war had lasted one month longer, our transper. tatin would have broken down and we would have been unable to get to the front with SUD- plies. I want to tell you what I have to say about the Trans fer Corps. The transfer corps I was in was good for two more years of war.
 Yours respectfully,
 A guy who saw service in z sthettransportation corps,

lacked any sort of shelter to of fer. any such number of visitors. We had done nothing to devel- op means ofsentertain ment for them. Our water-one of the chief essentials was not a strong drawing card, when it. should be. We did not seem tc be interested in the visitors and they failed tobecome interested |. in. the town. Williams com mercia1 world lost a great many thousands of dollars which might have been theirs, and the prosperity of thetown in gen. eral has not developed into what it ought to be. ..+
 The situation in Williams S a good deal like that which once confronted a house mover who was trying to move a largo building by means of twenty eight teams of horses. He spent half a day trying to get the teams to pull together but without success. Each team
 had a driver and the horses were hooked on in four columns of teams. The various teams would sometimes settle down for a steady pull and then dis. couraged because the thing did not move would take a turn at baking or plunging. At no time did the twenty-e -eight'teams pull together. At last @ twen- weight horse power tractor was put on in place of the teams and it rolled away with the load. Its power was appli- ed as a unit The horses would not pull together.
 And so with the boosters of Williams. Individually they are able, energetic and enthus- iastic, but they have not pulled together all at one ifne. During the Editors six years residency in Williams he has seen aynum- Der of efforts made to get the citizens of Williams together in an effort to further the general good and prosperity of the com munity. Each time a few have gotten into the harness and worked hard only to become discouraged at the lack of CO., operation. At the next effort those who had tried the prev ious time, remembering the un- pleasant experience of the for mer time, have ,recIined. at ease | while anew set of enthusiasts have exhausted their energies without accomplishing much of what can and ought to be done.
 The efforts of the Chamber of Commerce with reference to the south road have born good fruit, but there is a vast amount more that needs to be done. What is needed is for all of those interested in the welfare of the town to get into the harm ess and pull together..zs.aAnd fabove all, let's get along sto-

MILLION DOLLAR BAND COMING
TWO CONCERTS AT BALL PARK

Uncle Sans Million Dollar band.
premier musical organization of the
United States army overseas forces,
which saw service in France and Ger
many and which is composed of 35
efficient musicians, every man SOL
dier, is going to demonstrate to local
citizens, just how, by inspiring musi-
cal numbers, they sent the battling
Yankees into victorious warfare and
through the German stronghold.
Led by Harold Bachman. whose
guiding hand conducted their actions
in the shadows of the battle lines,
the Million Dollar musical organiza-
tion, SO christened by General Lig-
gett, after he had heard them play in
France, is on tour of the principal
cities of the United States.
By far the most famous of all mill
tary bands which saw service in
France and Germany, the aggpega-
tion of musicians. affiliated with the
116th Engineers during wartime fury,
has been granted special privilege
by high officials of the war depart
ment. Permission to tour the coun-
try in concert work, under the title
given them in war, and clad in their
khaki colored uniforms, was obtained
by Director Bachman soon after the
unit had reached the shores of Amer
lea.
This celebrated band is known as
the Second North Dakota Rcgimental
Band, with headquarters at Harvey.
Manager Roberts of the Oakes Ball
Team has secured this band for two
concerts in Oakes in the afternoon
and evening of July 18th. Both con-
certs will be in the grand stand at
the Ball Park, at and 8 o'clock. The
afternoon concert will be followed by
ball game with LaMoure. and the
evening by big dance uptown.

APPRECIATION

came to Oakes to celebrate
The glorious Fourth of July;
1t was the grandest have seen,
And will tell you why.
Will first state-God knows what's
good
Sent some fine rain at night:
That on the third we all were glad:
The earth was green and bright.
We had no wind. there was no dust,
The air was pure and sweet;
With perfume from the roses
That bloom among the wheat.
Those who. came to Cakes the third
Enjoyed themselves all day;
l was not here to see 1t all,
But that is what they say.
On the morning Of the Fourth,
The weather was ideal;
And thinking of "Our Boys" back
home,
We did SO joyous feel.
The entertainments all were good
Parade, it was just fine!
I'd like to comment on them all,
But 'twould take many a line.
Still l must praise the way twas run
The kindness, care and thought;
Which was enjoyed and shared by all,
And didn't need to be bought.
Now, thought for the home with a
vacant chair,
The loved one is not here;
For that dear home say a tender
prayer,
And try their souls to cheer.

off almost as scheduled, and there
was little hitch anywhere. Oakes is
pleased it was able to entertain a
crowd-the biggest that ever Assem-.
bled in the county, and was able TO
please so well.
Notes
LaMoure and Edgeley were here
and were placing their money or
Oakes. This one time they lost.
There was only one arrest during
the two days. Roy Mccain liked the
forty-mile clip and was fined SIS
for speeding.
A fine 60.foot grand stand has been
placed in the ball park which adds
greatly to the comfort of those at
tending the games. It wasn't one
fourth big enough for the big game
on the Fourth.
They say that the Hecla sports had
gotten a nice fat purse to bet on
their horse, Dwight. but the very best
the bay could do was come in sec
ond three times. Hecla should know
by this time that Hample's Dan has
won here in the past five years in a
free for all, and the record was not
to be taken away from him. It is to
stay right at Hample, "rhubarb" of
Cakes.
The wrestling match between
Youngdahl and Campbell was too
one-sided to be interesting. Young.
dahl was too much for the newcomer
into the Oakes ring and it looked
easy for two falls.
It was different in the bouts be.
tween Youngdahl and Williams.
These two had often wrestled and
Wrennie did not like the idea of the
younger man Juggling of the honors
all the time. The first fall went to
Youngdahl and the latter to VII.
liams, who showed some speed and
stick-to-itiveness for a man Of his
age. This event was pulled of un.
der the electric light at the main cor.
ner and the arena formed from
stands and tops of buildings showed
a lot Of interested folks, and they
were well entertained too.
