HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Last winter the Oakes high school
broke into the state H. S. debating
league for the first time Though they
put up game fight. the debating
team was eliminated in their first
battle of words by 81 decision. This
defeat in debate has not eliminated
Oakes from other contests by any
means. for two representatives will
be sent to take part in the state
Defamation Contest at the Univers
ity in about two weeks.
These contestants are to be chosen
in a local contest Friday evening of
this week at the high school. s
O'Clock. The lineup of speakers which
follows is evidence that the local con
test will be we'll worth attending, and
it is hoped that the auditorium" will
be as we'll filled as it was for the Lit
erary Society program last week.
The contestants are Oliver Blazer,
Hazel Bond, Frances Freeman, Ruth
Hutsinpiller. Eva Kallestad, Inez
Kallestad. Clarice Knock, Clarence
Lauth, Frances Root, and Edward
Wright.
An admission of 10 and 20 cents
will be charged. The proceeds will
go toward defraying the expenses of
the winners to the state contest.
The last meeting of the Cakes H.
S. Literary Society was held last Fri
day evening, and it proved to be a
fitting climax to series of good
programs. The assembly room was
packed to the point of bursting. and
there was not efen the proversial
standing room only"
The principal features of the even
ing were the family album" and the
"Old Maids Club. In the former
the pictures were so realistic and
lifelike that one could almost imagine
that he could see them move. The
Old Maids were such scream that
it is likely that their performance
will be repeated later where more
people can have an opportunity to
enjoy the spring laugh tonic.

The boys are working out for track

the delay in obtaining some neces

Auto Shortage Continue.

An acute shortage of automobiles
as result of the increased demand
and the inability of manufacturers to
Immediately resume capacity produc'
tion is the prophecy of Mr.. Olthoff,
Elgin dealer for Oakes territory.
Mr.. Olthoff says that country deal
ers are constantly demanding more
and more Elgin cars which proves
that people in the small towns and
country districts are more enthusias-
tic over automobiles than ever be.
fore.
The demand in Oakes for quality
cars shows a material increase, so
Mr.. Olthoff says his problem is to be
able to secure enough Elgins from
the factory to supply the increased
Spring and Summer demand.
The increased demand in Dickey
and adjoining territory together with
the fact that the manufacturers are
not producing nearly as many cars
as they were before the war. is GER
tain to mean a severe shortage of
cars in this section for several
months to come.
The production Of motor cars for
1918 was 743,394 cars short of the
1917 production. Even though manu-
facturers are doing all they can to
get back to normal production. so
many new families are planning to
buy cars and the supply Of second
hand cars is so low that even more
than 743,394 buyers are going to be
disappointed in 1919.
A shortage extending over quite a
long period of time while manufac-
turers are catching up seems absolute
" certain. Buyers are going to COM
pete for every good car that goes on
the market this season.
