GOOD GAME
WITH LISBON
Locals Lose Out After Nine Innings
of the Very Best Kind of
Base Ball
FISHERS HOME RUN FEATURES
Kahl Pitches Well, But is Unsteady
in Pinches

Lovers of the noble game of base
ball got everything their hearts coule
possibly desire, except win for the
home team, when the boys tangled
with Lisbon last Friday afternoon.
The contest started out like big
league struggle right from the first
inning. Lisbon was the first to score
but their lead was quickly wiped out
by the Oakes boys, who hammered
the pill Justify early in the game and
secured a total of four runs, which
was augmented by Fishers husky
swipe in the seventh for round trip.
This looked big enough to win until
the last half of the ninth, when, after
two were out and a Lisbon man on
second, the batter connected for a
clean single and the game was over.
Oakes looks twenty per cent better
with Christensen in the infield. Reg
don played short and Mcintyre tried
his luck at third. Chet is a nifty
player, but he works just little too
fast and let's some easy chances get
away. When this chap gets settled
down he will show the onlookers some
good stuff.
Kahl pitches swell ball for a nov
ice, and it is easy to see that he will
cause other teams lot of trouble af-
ter he gets little more experience.
He should have won the Lisbon game,
at that.
Sunday the long looked for game
with Glendale was scheduled, but
rain stopped the contest after three
and half innings had been played,
with the score nothing all. Another
game was on the boards for the fol-
lowing day, but the weather man
again turned on the water.
This afternoon LaMoure is coming
over and will get drubbing, unless
they show something more than they
did the last time they played Oakes.
Tomorrow afternoon the locals and
Gwinner will play here. The boys
beat Gwinner the. last time, but they
are pretty strong and a good contest
may be expected. Both games are
scheduled to take place at Donation
park, and time will be called prompt
ly at $3.50 o'clock.

OVER THOUSAND
SEE FESTIVAL
Grade Pupils Present Interesting En-
tertainment on School Campus
Tuesday Evening
RECEIVE DIPLOMAS
Alumni Banquet Tonight Completes
Commencement Activities

The school activities of the present
school year are practically finished.
Today marked the last of the exams,
and the pupils will bid farewell to
their books and classrooms for tine
summer when they receive their final
standings tomorrow.
The class of 1920, numbering nine
teen young men and women, received
their diplomas last night at the NJ. E.
church, which was the scene Of the
commencement exercises this year.
President F.. Lee Howard of Fargo
college delivered mastery address
to the class, that was a fitting climax
to their four years of effort.
The spring festival was presented
by pupils of the eight grades on the
school campus Tuesday evening. The
weather would have been ideal had
the temperature been about Is or 20
degrees higher, and crowd estimated
at from 1000 to 1900 people gath
cred to witness the pageant. From
the bugs and worms and frog and
mole which surrounded Mother Earth
at the opening scene of the festival,
through the dances of the sunbeams,
the grasses, the flowers, the butter
flies, and the laughter-provoking
grasshoppers, to the graceful dance
of the twelve months, the spectacle
was full of color and motion. The lit
tie and the larger folk who took part
very evidently enjoyed their place in
the center of attraction, and the
throng of spectators found it no hard
task to keep their eyes on the dancers.
The festival reflected much credit
upon Miss Henderson, who had it in
charge, the teachers who drilled their
pupils in the differ mt dances, the par
ents who contrived the costumes,
Misses Muriel Bronson and Cora
Fuller, who furnished the music, and
the little people who had practiced so
faithfully in preparation. 1t was cv-
ident that the program represented
a huge amount of work, but it was
repaid in the general enjoyment fur
nished to the great crowd that wit
messed it.
The faculty entertained the seniors
at the annual breakfast that has be-
come commencement institution, on
Monday morning. Following the rot
waffles that made up the last course
of the feed, the class history, proph-
ecy, and will were read, and the class
song was sung. In none of these was
the name of the senior class belittled
in the least.
On Sunday evening the graduating
class attended the baccalaureate SER
vices in the M. E. church. Rev. O. L.
Anthony preached the sermon, being
assisted in the services by the other
Oakes pastors who were able to be
present. The sermon dealt with the
three-fold nature of man, physical,
mental and spiritual. and emphasized
the Importance to the young people
of the class of not forgetting the lat
ter part of their beings
The class entertained themselves
at a banquet Saturday evening at
Mrs. Whites, with Miss Barclay and
Mr.. Gould as guests. After a big
feed, they repaired to the city hall
for sing, which did much toward
saving some members of the class
from the necessity of doctors bill.
The alumni banquet tonight COM
pletes the program of commence
ment events.

FARM BOYS
ENCAMPMEIVT
One Hundred Dickey and Sargent
County Youngsters Expected to
Be Here Next Week
WILL BE A SPLENDID OUTING
instruction Given in Various Lines
By Experts

The indications are that at least
one hundred boys of Dickey and Sar-
gent counties will attend the farm
boys encampment at Oakes next
week. Details for feeding, instruct
ing and entertaining the boys have
practically been completed. Each
boy is supposed to bring blankets,
overalls, "a work shirt, canvas shoes,
base ball equipment, and something
for bathing suit, and band instru-
ment if he has the latter named ar
ticle. An army cook will provide ra-
tions served in army mess kits. The
day we make the trip to the Baldwin
farms the boys will be expected to
prepare their own rations, which will
be supplied them. It is expected that
they will spend the entire day there
and the boys will be given iastruc-
tion in stock management, poultry
culling, farm equipment, etc. At the
camp they will be given instruction
along the line of manual trai:.ing,
such as rope splicing, babbitting, sol
dering, painting, whitewashing and
disinfecting. Besides this there are
many other instructive features of
the program. There will also be- some
talks on sanitation and hygiene and
first aid to the injured. These are
things every boy should know. We
will also give them instruction in
swimming, athletic drills, military
drills, base ball, etc. We are intend
ing to have the movie man take pic
lures Of the boys while in camp. We
will also show number of agricul-
tural films every night of the encanlp-
ment if possible. While the boys will
be given considerable freedom they
nevertheless will be under constant
supervision during the entire week.
The cost Of the encampment is $500
for the six days. You can not make
any mistake by letting your boys at
tend this encampment. In fact, we
maintain that giving the boy an occas-
ional outing is the only real way of
keeping him on the farm. The boy
who is kept constantly tied down until
he becomes mature is the fellow who
wants to get away and see the world,
and when he does get away he usually
knows no restraints and is pretty apt
to get into trouble. Give us the boy
who has had some freedom. He is
usually more self-reliant and knows
how to take care of himself. The boy
who is kept "tight," like bird IN a
cage, is bound to make break some
time in his life with the avowed in
tention of getting out to see the
world. Being inexperienced, of course
he runs up against many difficulties
which might be avoided. When you
fathers were boys you enjoyed horse
back riding, swimming, fishing, hunt
ing, sleighing, skiing, tobogganing,
ETC., with the neighbor boys. You
must remember that many of these
sports are somewhat rare in North
Dakota. Hard work with no play
never made real man out of real
boy.
Important-The management has
found out at the last moment that
the Aberdeen Tent & Awning COM
pany can not furnish us tents SO thev
want all the boys to look around and
secure any tents they can from their
own neighborhood. Any size or color
goes.

Toned way by leaping from the back Of
racing horse to the horns of dodg-

wrist, used to be considered exciting
enough to satisfy almost any appetite
for thrills, and 1t will never lose It's
popularity for 1t Is truly pastime that
calls for stout heart, clear brain

Bulldogging steers from an automo-

Lynch, who combines with the skill of
the frontiersman the love Of something
new, to devise stunt which In its
very dash and audacity electrifes all
who see him do it--bulldogging steers
from motorcycle.
On the Pacific coast, where this sport
was introduced for the first time last
winter, Lynch has held vast throngs
spellbound by his hazardous perfor-
mances, and Montana people will, at
the Bozeman Roundup August s, 6 and

rider from a speeding motorcycle.
