Oakes Rays at Crete Sunday
The first base ball game of the sea-
son is scheduled to take place at Crete
next Sunday afternoon, when the 10.
Gals will motor over and endeavor to
show the home boys few wrinkles.
Manager Roberts has not succeeded
in getting together a complete team
thus far, as he did not plan to start
before the fifteenth, but he will take
the bunch over Sunday and see how
they line up.
Roy Fisher, who did such good work
on the slab for Oakes last year, has
been signed and another man is COM
ing up from Aberdeen in a day or so.
Tracy is expected to be on the receiv-
ing end Sunday, with Bowerman in
reserve.
Another catcher will be signed be-
fore the season is started in earnest,
There is bunch of good local tai
ent here If it can only be developed.
Many of the young fellows have lots
Of first class base ball in their systems
it they will get out and practice faith.
fully.
When the boys get to going good VIC
expect to make a creditable showing
against the teams in this part of the
country. With Fisher in his true form
and the others working good there is
no reason why our fans should be dis.
appointed this year.
A good base ball team and a good
band are two of the best advertise
ments a town can have.

MOTHERS DAY
PROCLAMATION
Governor Frazier Designates Sunday
May 9, as Day of Special
Services
SHOW YOUR LOVE BY DEEDS
Flags to Be Displayed as Expression
of Reverence

Governor Lynn j. Frazier has is.
sued the following proclamation des.
ignating Sunday, May 9, as Mothers
day:
ut has been we'll said, The hand
that rocks the cradle rules the
world No greater trust has been
conferred by an omniscient Provi-
dence than that which gives the
mother the opportunity to mould the
characters of her children, and direct
their lives into channels of useful
ness and uprightness. The young
lives that come under her care are
so easily swayed that the response
5ility can scarcely be measured.
Just as the twig is bent the tree is
Inclined
"As the homes, SO the state; and
as the states, 80 the nations. 1t is
therefore evident that this greatest
institution Of society must be cher
ished, and every effort made to keep
family and home ties firm and bright.
The world war separated loved ones
for a time, but happily those days
have been shortened, and those who
were spared are again permitted to
enjoy the daily association and fel-
lowship Of those held most dear BY
natures ties.
Believing in the perpetuation of
that beautiful custom Of observing a
day on which especial honor shall
be accorded the mothers, I therefore
proclaim and set apart, Sunday, MAY.
9, as Mothers day, throughout our
great commonwealth, and urge that
the ministers ca that day conduct
services specially dedicated to rec
ognition Of the mothers Of this great,
fair land, and that all the people
wear a flag or flower in their honor.
Also urge that the flag be Displayed
at the homes, on public buildings, and
other suitable places, as a public
expression Of our love and reverence
for the mothers Of our country. Fur
ther I earnestly recommend that
families meet together where possi-
BILE; that letters be written to the
absent mothers, and to the fathers
and children who are away as well,
and that in every home devoted
hearts may evidence in deeds the love
and appreciation felt for the moth
ers."

REBELS ENTER
CITY OF JUAREZ
State Of chihuahua is Now Entirely
in the Hands of Revolution
ary Troops
WASHINGTON MUCH RELIEVED
Feared that Fighting for Border City
Would Cause Complications

The bloodless revolt of Juarez and
capitulation of Gen. Francisco Urbal-
ejo and his Yaqui Indians at Casas
Grandes. virtually gave the Sonora
revolutionists control of the state Of
Chihuahua and paved the way for an
unobstructed advance against Torreon
from whence campaign is to be
launched against Mexico City.
Gen. Urbalejo, commanding the last
large body Of Carranza troops in the
state, Joined the revolt and plans were
made for an immediate advance
through Chihuahua upon the interior
strongholds the Carranza government
still holds.
With the capitulation Of Juarez, the
revolutionists were given control of
the majority of customs houses
through which hundreds of thousands
OF dollars in revenue is developed for
the Mexican government. Compare
lively small bodies of troops remained
loyal to Carranza at other border
towns east Of Juarez. The Ojinaga
garrison opposite Presidio, Texas, is
expected by Mexican officials to Join
the revoluti0nists.
At Chihuahua City, state capital,
order is being preserved, political
prisoners have been set free and pro-
lection has been assured Americans
and other foreigners. Dispatches said
they were continuing at their work as
usual. Similar guarantees were made
by authorities at Juarez in a formal
statement to American representa-
tives.
Relief was shown both in govern
ment circles and by revolutionary
agents at Washington when it became
known that Juarez, Mexico, where
revolutionary fighting always has
been potential international danger,
had been taken by the rebels without
fight. While preparations for the
safeguarding of Americans at east
coast ports Of Mexico by the dispatch
Of additional naval units went for.
ward, and Carranza's reply to the
sharp representations made By the
government regarding the murder Of
two more Americans near Mexico City
were awaited, the chief interest ap-
peared to be in the modified military
plans it was assumed the occupation
of the border town would cause rebel
leaders to adopt.
Until now the rebels have succeed
ed in taking from Carranza almost
half his territory without battle, but
military men who have watched the
developments Of the revolution as
sumo few stubborn contests are in
evitable unless averted by further de-
fections in the federal forces Mex

that further cases Of government
troops declining battle will hasten
the end of their struggle.

GARDENING BECOMES POPULAR
Hoe and Rake Artists Beginning to
Show Signs of Life

II there is any one thing of which
Oakes is more proud than any other,
it is our fine gardens. There are more
hoe and rake experts here than in any
town this size in the state, and the
product Of their labors will compare
favorably with garden truck raised
any place on earth, climatic differ
ences considered.
It has taken winter long time to
let go, but it begins to look as though
nice weather had set in for keeps
now. II you call at any business place
in town and inquire for the "boss" it
is an even chance that you will be
informed he is home working in the
garden.
And why not? Prices of everything
people eat have reached unheard of
heights and there is scarcity Of
many staple articles. The lowly po-
tato has assumed an Importance it
never before enjoyed, the price is any
where from $500 a bushel to what
ever the fortunate possessor Of them
cares to ask, and practically none are
available at any price. It is even like
ly that many people will not be able
to secure enough for the spring plant
ing.
Bearing these facts in mind, it be-
hooves folks to raise everything they
possibly can in the hope that they will
have enough money left to buy the
other necessities Of life.
Oh, we'll, they say the first hundred
years are the hardest.

LEAGUE PICKS
COUNTY TICKET
Nonpartisans Decide to Enter Local
Politics and Will Make Bid for
Court House Jobs
MEETING HELD AT FULLERTON
Men Endorsed for Sheriff and States
Attorney Will Not Run

The Nonpartisan league has decided
to get into the. political game locally
and go after the county offices. The
precinct committeeman held meeting
at Fullerton week ago Friday for
the purpose of selecting candidates
and attending to other business mat
ters.
The first matter to be considered
was the need of full cooperation by
the farmers in making success Of
their county paper, the Farmers Sen
tinel. Representative Marshall, C. C.
Talbot, Judge Graham and Chas. l..
Coy, the editor, all spoke on the need
OF farmer paper to present their
side of the issues before the people
in the present campaign and to ''coun-
teract the shameless lies Of the kept
press about every feature Of the
farmers program" It was stated
that the newspaper should be placed
in every farm home in the county.
both e"cm the educational standpoint
and the financial benefits to be
derived from such an extensive sub
scription list. Over forty leaguers
were present and all showed their
hearty approval Of the remarks of the
speakers and those who were already
subscribers made cash donation Of
five dollars each to help the paper
along. Those who were not subscrib-
ers added their names to the list.
Following are the men endorsed for
county Offices:
County Judge-Ben Porter, Fuller
ton.
Auditor-H. J. Oberman, Glendale.
Clerk-Henry Nelson, Cakes.
Treasurer-W. E. Kellogg, Monan-
go.
Sheriff Walter Moore, Forbes.
Register-Frank Northrop, Merri-
court.
States Attorney A. c. Whipple.
Glendale.
Commissioner first district-Ira
Barnes, Glendale.
Commissioner second district
Harry Newman, Guelph.
No endorsement was made for coun-
ty superintendent. None of the men
chosen had been interviewed previous
to the meeting, but since then Messrs.
Whipple and Moore have announced
that they would not run. The execu-
tive committee has power to fill all
vacancies in the ticket.
A daylight meeting will be held in
the county some time this month.

Truck Train Arrives

The truck train which is being sent
out by Fargo company on $500
mile trip through eastern North Da-
kota and western Minnesota, arrived
in Oakes yesterday afternoon consid-
erably behind their schedule. The de-
lay was caused by bad road conditions,
the train having stuck in a mud hole
the previous day. On their arrival
here the party was met by the local
band and entertained by several ex-
cellent musical numbers. Short talks
were made by motor and tire experts
and the crowd invited to inspect the
trucks and the chassis they carried.
1t is good advertising stunt.

TO APPLY FOR FEDERAL AID
Work of Oakes Commercial Club Be.
ginning to Bear Fruit

Messrs. A. P. Guy and Fred B. Ing
stad went to Glendale Monday as
representatives Of the Cakes CONNER
cial club to meet Mr.. Gregg, engineer
for the state highway commission.
and also, to confer with the commits
sioners in regard to the road prob
lem in Dickey county. They informed
the county dads that people in this
section are in favor Of securing state
and federal aid in order to improve
the highways Of the county. The
commissioners approve Of the project
and will get into communication with
the proper authorities as soon as pos
sible. It is a little too late to ac-
complish anything this season, but as
soon as the frost is out Of the ground
next year the work will be started.
Messrs. Ingstad and Guy were en-
tertained by the Glendale CONNER
cial club at a smoker in the Dickey
hotel, and speak very highly Of the
way they were treated.
There is nothing this county needs
more than good roads. It is practic-
ally impossible to get to the county
seat in the winter, and muddy wealth
er causes great deal Of inconven-
ience in the summer. A little work,
sensibly applied, would change this
condition to the immense satisfaction
Of all people who find it necessary to
travel.
More power to the advocates of bet.
ter roads.

The streets were dragged Tuesday
after the rain, the drag being pulled
by new Nash truck. These ma
chimes, which are driven by power ap-
piled to all four wheels, are identical
with those used by the government in
the world war. They. do the work
much faster than team and it seems
that one would be a good investment
for the city.
