the main plans for the big doings.
$4,000 are the figures set to be blown
in on this affair. The committee was
authorized to spend as high as $1,000
to get an army flying machine and
army man come here for the two
days. Ore of Oakes fine industrial
parades, in which the soldiers will
lead, will be one of the features.
There will be good ball games and

set aside for fireworks. The firemen
have granted concessions to put up
the big bowery, which will be
covered with canvas. Here dancing

The committees have big things in
mind, and they will be carried out
with the Oakes spirit and zest.
Every part of Dickey county is in
vited to take part. Are you there?

RED LETTER WEEK FOR
BIG LAND COMPANY

This is Red Letter Week for the H.
j. johnson Land & Cattle Company.
This means bargain week on lands in
the Oakes Country. Mr.. johnson has
been in the land business in Oakes
the past twenty.one years and never
saw more of a demand for our James
River Valley lands than this year.
Nearly one hundred pieces of land
have changed hands through our real
estate agencies since the beginning
of this year, and much of this is go
ing to men who have been farming
for years in North Dakota. Land
values are sure to increase and
nothing can be gained by waiting.
Talk with johnson this week. A good
piece of land, bought right, is as safe
as money in the bank.

Friendship.

No one is so poor as the person who
is going through life without friends.
None Of us needs to be in this sad
plight, for all around US are those who
need love and sympathy-those for
whom we can make life less difficult.
And that is what friendship means
spending oneself for those one loves
and asking nothing I'm return. It is
"only he who is unwilling to love with
out being loved" who is likely to feel
that there is no. such thing as true
friendship.

Laughter.

Laughter is mans own attribute" !"
says Rabelais, and from the time man
began to think Of other matters than
eating and waging war he has wooed
laughter in some form or other accord
ing to his ideas of what is c0mical.
The early pictured Jokes on canvas,
stone and paper are not conducive to
wild hilarity at this day and age, but
they amused the people of the time
and in making men laugh helped to
civilize the race.
