David Belasco is always doing

Consider, for example, how the gong
strikes behind the curtain before it
rises on the first scene of "one." in
which Francis Starr is appearing.
fhere is no indication that the play
is about to begin. The house lights

GOV. FRAZIER HERE TOMORROW
Chief Executive of North Dakota Will
Address the Voters

Posters are out announcing that
Governor Lynn J. Frazier will arrive
in Oakes tomorrow afternoon and we
more than half suspect that. he will
mention politics once or twice during
the discourse he is scheduled to give
at 1880 o'clock.
It is planned to have the governor
make his speech at the Oakes Nation
al bank corner if weather permits, but
in case the elements show a DISPOSE
tion to go on a rampage the Grand
theatre will be used.
This will be the first time Mr.. Fra
zier has appeared before the Oakes
public in several years. He has ad-
dressed gatherings of farmers at pic
MICS several times at different places
in the county, but has passed up this
city. His decision to come here is re-
ceived with enthusiasm by local ad-
mirers and we'll wishers, and his op-
ponents have enough curiosity regard
ing the trend of his remarks to draw
them into his audience.
That the chief executive will have
message goes without saying, for he
is at the present time one of the most
maligned and also most staunchly sup
ported men in the state. A great
deal of criticism has been heaped upon
his administration ever since he as
sumed the duties of the Office. 1t may

POTATO GROWERS
HOLD MEETING
Organization Completed and Board of
Directors Was Chosen Last
Saturday Evening
MEMBERSHIP OF TWENTY-FIVE
Spuds Will De Sold Through Mime.
sofa State Exchange

The membership of the Oakes Pc
tato Growers association is composed
of about twenty-five actual farmers
and they held meeting last Satur-
day night at the city hall at Oakes
and elected board of directors and
completed their organization. Pro-
fessor Porter of the Agricultural COL
lege was present and gave very in-
teresting talk concerning the arrange
ments which had been made to market
the crop of the North Dakota local
exchanges through the Minnesota
state exchange for this year. The fol-
lowing persons constitute the board of
directors in the local organization:
H. M. Blazer, president; C. E. Rom
ey, secretary treasurer; A. L. Free
man, H. L. Taylor, Ludden; Charles
Frank, Arthur Bartlett, j. A. Dom
nelly.
The board had preliminary meet
ing Saturday night and adjourned to
meet again this week Tuesday in or
der to buy grading machinery and to
elect local manager to handle the
potato shipments. 1t is expected that
this association will be ready to ship
potatoes in very short time.
The potatoes will be sold through
the Minnesota state exchange. This
organization has its headquarters at
Minneapolis and is now operating. II
will sell potatoes for lie per 100 lbs.
If, for instance, Oakes has carload
of potatoes on track, the Minnesota
exchange, through it's selling agency,
the North American Fruit exchange,
will advance 80 per cent of the value
of the potatoes before the car starts
rolling. Not only that, this fruit ex-
change has selling connections in 12O
cities in the United States and Canada
and gets telegraphic daily reports
concerning the abundance and scare
ity of potatoes in these various places
and it routes and detours it's cars ac-
cofdingly. This prevents any glutting
OF the markets and gets the potatoes
to the consumer almost directly with
minimum outlay of expense.
The local association will be able
to furnish its members with good seed
next spring, also with dipping and
spraying material and instructions
for growing and handling the crop.
The local organization expects to pur-
chase gradex and buy sacks so that
anyone who is member may market
his potatoes in the near future. Crow
ers in the vicinity of Glendale or Full
lerton who have potatoes in carload
lots may ship their potatoes from
these towns through this association
providing they become members. For
further information call on the coun-
ty agent.

BALL PLAYERS IN BIG SCANDAL
Several Big Leasuers Found Guilty ol
Corrupting Game

Identity of alleged go-betweens and
gamblers who sbribed Chicago Ameri-
can league base ball players has been
revealed in q confession made to the
grand jury by Claude Williams, who
Joined Cicotte and Jackson in making
q clean breast of the 1919 worlds SER
les frameup.
Williams named Chick Gandil, for
mer White Sox player, against whom
a true bill has been returned, al chief
go-between on the team, and "Brown
and Sullivan, gamblers" from either
New York or Boston, as go-betweens
for the gamblers. The jury immed-
lately voted true bills for Brown and
Sullivan.
Williams said he was supposed ia
get $4,000 and jackson the same, but
that he received only $4,000 half Of
which he gave jackson.
He said Gandil told him that Bill
Burns, veteran pitcher, and Abe At
tell, former prize fighter, were fixing
it for the Sox to get 100000.
Attorney Replogle stated that an
other Sox player would soon make q
statement before the grand jury. The
announcement is believed to refer to
McMullin.
Members Of the jury say they have
sufficient evidence on which to base
indictments.

Soldiers. Attention

All ex-soldiers who served in the
war with Spain at home or abroad, or
those who saw service in the Philip
pine insurrection or the China relief
expedition: The late congress passed
laws Of the utmost interest to soldiers
and if they will send name and ad-
dress to Walter S. Buchanan, national
aid-de-camp, Army and Navy union,
route 2, Louisa, Va, he will be glad
to advise them fully as to their rights
under the new law. Prompt action
will mean the possible saving of mon-
ey, as the pension commences from
the filing Of the claim. Mr.. Buchanan
wishes to assist his comrades in every
possible manner. Write him and en-
close stamp for reply.

FRANK ROOT HAS A BIRTHDAY
And His Friends Eat Everything in
the House to Get Even

1T so happened that last Saturday
was Frank Roots, birthday. It also
happened that several of his daugh-
ters spent most of the day in cooking
up great gobs Of good grub. And be
it known that as culinary experts
those same daughters are proficient
to high degree.
Hearing of this remarkable coinci-
dance, a number of the men of Oakes,
whose good judgment in matters per-
tanning to the taste Of food is exceed
ed only by their appetites, sneaked
over to Franks house Saturday just
before he returned from his days
work, and calmly took possession. Be-
ing unprepared for such surprise at
tack, he was unable to do anything
about it when he walked in on them
but to let them stay.
It is reported that some of them
ate so much that their stay would
have been indefinite had not others of
the party taken pity on them and car
ried them home, but this rumor is not
substantiated. The report is confirm
led showever, thatrsit was some feed,
that the Root girls are some cooks,
and even that Frank is some man.
After the eats and smokes, the
guests presented Mr.. Root with fine
walrus travelling bag in partial res
titution for the damage they had
wrought to his larder, and the balance
Of the evening was spent in playing
whist.
The appetites present included those
Of Joe Bunday, Fred Mccartney, Ed
Stock, Otto Elmer, Martin Jacobs,
Gene Naylor, Bill Bush, Alex Wright,
Charlie Fuller, Sid Bergenthal, Wal
ter De La Hunt, ]. G. Gould, Gus Ram
harter, Howard Dady, Fred Mosher
and Doc Christensen. Jut Bush would
have been there, too, but for the fact
that he got impatione and went the
night before, instead of waiting for
the rest of the bunch.
