Oakes Citizen Unable to Find Any

WANTS SO MORE FOR HIS LAND
G. c. Oltho6 Learns Why People Who
Leave Here Always Return
Have you ever become dissatisfied
with living in Oakes? Sort o wanted
to get away from the old familiar
sights and surroundings and zee how
people in other sections Of the country
get along? Don't kid the goldfish
sure you have. You've had . little
hard luck, maybe, and some fellow
wouldn't come across with that bill he
owed, or some other trihing thing
came up to disturb your equanimity
and you almost made up your mind to
sell out and move. But you're . fairly
sensible sort Of person and thought
you'd take little trip out over the
country and look up location before
making the final move.
Right there is where you made the
discovery-almost too late-that 9TH
er places don't compare with Oakes
and North Dakota when it comes
right down to the point. They may
have seeming advantages in many
ways, but once you've stuck around q
while you find that the disadvantages
more than outweigh all Of the good
things you'd heard about them. Then
you started back toward home
Oakes.
What thrill you experienced when
you changed cars at Hankinson and
knew you would soon be on the last
lap Of the journey back to Gods coun-
try-where you belong. Then when
the train started out of CogSwell
you watched along the right Of way
for familiar sights, and found them.
Oh Boy, wasn't it q g-r-r-rsa-a-a-n-d
and glorious feelin'?
And when the train pulled into
Oakes n you hoped onto the plat
form n saw Sid Bergenthal and
Frank Root and all the other fellows
who meet the trains, you were just
simply 20 tickled you didn't know
what to do. In fact you watched the
folks who were getting on the train
70 60 somewhere and could hardly
keep from advising them to stay
whore they were, and, let well enough
alone. ."
You went home then and met the
wife and kiddies, who were afraid you
would discover some place which suit
ed you and they'd have to break home
ties to make a new beginning among
strangers. They were all aquiver
with excitement while they waited for
the fatal word. Then you started in
and lied like thief about the swell
time you'd had, n everything, before
You finally came clean and told them
you had decided that Oakes was good
enough for you. Remember how they
grabbed you and almost hugged you
to pieces? Sure you do. There's
nothing like it, is there?
Well, our townsman, C. C. Olthoff,
suffered an attack Of wanderlust few
weeks ago and decided he would sell
out and leave. He didn't know where
he wanted to 60, but he just wanted
to get out of the gosh darned country
and be done with it. OF course he
didn't want to give his home away. OF

Perhaps after the troubles of these
various gentlemen have been aired in
the courts, we will find out just what
really has been happening behind the
scenes. We trust that no honest mans
character will be besmirched, but we
think that full publicity will be a good
thing for the people Of the state.

Legion to Select Delegates

Legion to Select Delegates
The second annual convention of the
North Dakota department Of the Am
erican Legion which opens at Minot
this week will select 10 delegates to
attend the national convention to be
held at Cleveland in September.
Five Of these will be delegates at
large, the Legion constitution provid-
ing that each department is entitled
to five delegates and one additional
delegate for each 1000 members whose
current dues have been paid to the
national treasurer 80 days prior to
the national convention.
The North Dakota department has
II, 900 members, or 13 delegates to the
national convention on the basis Of
representation in membership. It ap-
pears to be the consensus Of opinion
that the states delegation will 60 un-

County Agent Wants to Hear From
Prospective Sheep Raisers

While we do not have very much
definite data as to the comparative
yields Of durum and hard wheats, we
think we are safe in asserting that
the former will yield almost 100 per
cent more than the latter. Some Of
the late sown durum and some Of the
common varieties have rusted consid-
erably, but Kubanka durum invariably
is making a good showing. This is
yielding from twenty to twenty-five
bushels and is testing from sixty to
sixty-one pounds. The sample sent to
Minneapolis by one Of our Equity
unions graded No. ! amber durum.
This sample had per cent Of hard
wheat and "a per cent Of mottled
grains and thus just barely made this
commercial grade.
Considering that amber durum, the
commercial name for the best grade
Of any durum, 10 selling at higher
price than the hard wheats and certain
varieties Of the durum have not been
much affected by the rust and have
also proven good yielders, these cer-
tain varieties have been profitable to
growers. The thing for us to do now
is to see that we get good seed for
next year and not send it to market.
In response to an article on the pur-
chase Of dairy cattle we had number
Of replies and it looks as though we
will be able TO go to Wisconsin and
buy q couple Of car loads Of good
dairy cows. This is going to mean a
good deal, ultimately, to the prosper
ity Of this county. This week we
should like to inquire through the
press il there are any farmers who
wish to purchase sheep co-operatively,
direct from Montana ranches.
Last year we purchased 421O head
and the farmers who purchased these
generally made very good returns on
their investment. While the price Of
wool is not what it might be, we have
found that it ID generally good busi-

FULL SWING
Warrant Out for Brinton, and Waters
Sues Townley for Alleged
Salary
POLITICAL POT Is WARMING UP
LANCER Wants to Put Somebody in
Penitentisry

A warrant was issued Tuesday af-
ternoon at Bismarck for the arrest Of
j. w. Brinton, he Of newspaper bill
fame, on the complaint Of A. C. Town
ley and VIM. Lemke Of the Nonpar-
tisan league, charging Brinton with
criminal libel.
An article published last week in
the Burleigh County Farmers Press
is made the basis for the warrant.
Brinton was in Fargo.
On top Of this development, charges
that Townley owns a controlling in
terest in the Sisal trust Of Miami,
Florida, are contained in a suit filed
by ]. r. Waters, former manager Of
the Bank Of North Dakota. Mr.. Wat
ers demands payment Of $1,000, which
he says was the annual salary prom
ised him by Mr.. Townley, for handling
Townley's interests in this concern.
In the United States district court,
Townley asserted two years ago that
he had no interest Of any kind in any
property. At that time, if Waters
charge is substantiated, Townley was
engaged in closing the deal by which
the United States Sisal trust was or
ganized, and by which it becomes the
holding corporation owning tract Of
22,400 acres Of land in Florida.
Just before this mess began to cook
nicely, along came Attorney General
LANCER with the following open letter
to Messrs. Townley and Lemke:
"You are hereby notified that J. w.
Brinton in last nights Burleigh Coun-
ty Farmers Press, over his signature,
stated that you were dishonest; that
you approved Of misappropriation and
embezzlement Of money in the league
and in the State Bank of North Da-
kota; that you, and not others, used
league funds to promote private en-
terprises; that you have committed
forgery by signing other mems names
to documents to cover up your own
autocratic and criminal actions; that
you charged other men with crime to
protect yourselves.
"Mr. Brinton has offered to prove
his statement in any court in the land.
If Mr.. Brinton's statements are not
true, it is criminal libel. As attorney
general, elected by the farmers Of
North Dakota, I hereby offer any time
within the next three days to tenn
porarily remove one Of the two reg
ular assistants left me by your tools
in the legislature and offer to appoint
any lawyer you may select in North
Dakota as one Of my two assistant at
torneys general to assist in the pros
ecution Of the said ]. w. Brinton, and
guarantee that it will cost neither one
of you two men one single penny.
"On behalf Of the farmers who
elected me to,ofiice, urge you to have
Mr.. Brinton arrested. If he cannot
prove his charges, we will put him in
the penitentiary because that is where
he wuold belong; and if he does prove
them, I will put you in the peniten-
tiary, because that is where you would
belong.

WASHINGTON-"T women of the nation are going to expect. the next president to give them representation in his cabinet" declared Mrs. Abbey Scott Baker, political chairman of the National Woman's Party, here today.
 And what's more. they don't want some petty and baby job, such as chief of the bureau of education or in charge of child welfare. The next president should appoint woman to the posi- tion of secretary of war or secretary of the navy. There are two of these politicians that have to do with war. A woman certainly have one. Make a woman secretary of war and it would be pretty certain tbat there would be no war. That is the desired result"
 Mrs. Baker says the position of war secretary should be the easiest in the cabinet. Mrs. Baker is one of the few women connected with the National Woman's Party who is heart and soul in favor of the League of Nations.
 "The world has admitted it is desir- able to have women at the ballot box, ? said Mrs. Baker. Tt follows that 1t is desirable to have them in high posi- ton. in order that they may give of ficial pulse to the desires of the mil lions of voters of their sex"
