More Arrests in Duluth Likely

Additional arrests are expected by
city and county officials in Duluth in
connection with the lynching of three
negroes in that city on the 18th. Two
white men said to have been members
of the mob "court" that "tried" the
six negroes in the city Jail before the
lynching and permitted three to 20

ing and held in the county Jail.
They are: Nate Natelson, Is, a
clerk in clothing store on West
Michigan street; John Burr, "a, an
employee in West Central avenue
pool room. Thirty witnesses of the
lynching have been subpoenaed by the
special grand jury now sitting in the
case.
Authorities reported they were sat
isfied that the alleged plot to lynch
the circus negroes originated in a
West Duluth pool room, from whence
habitues are said to have boarded a
truck and ridden up town inviting men
on the sidewalk to join the "necktie"
party. A rope was dangled behind
the truck, it has been testified, and
recruits grasped it and were pulled
toward the city Jail.

CAR STRIKES RUT AND UPsETs
Mrs. ]. M. Webb is Injured When Auto
Turns Turtle

Mrs. j. M. Webb lies seriously in
jured in the Oakes hospital as the re-
suit of an automobile accident which
occurred about fifteen miles north of
Oakes last Monday afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Webb and daughter,
Cecile, were driving to Valley City,
from where they intended to go to
their former home at McHenry for a
brief visit with old friends. They
were accompanied by Mrs. A. d. Scott
of Minot and Mrs. r. A. Bast, who
were on their way to Jamestown.
The car was skimming along nicely
at fair rate of speed and the occu-
pants were chatting merrily with no
thought of danger when, practically
without warning, the automobile
struck rut and turned completely
over, pinning Mrs. Webb under the
steering wheel. The others managed
to crawl out from under the machine
and with the help of some folks who
happened to be near when the acci-
dent occurred, succeeded in freeing the
victim. She was hurried to the hos
pltal where an examination showed
that while no bones were broken, she
was injured internally, to what ex-
tent may not be known for several
days. She spent bad night Monday
and complained of having no feeling
in her arms and limbs. It is feared
that she is paralyzed, as she was un-
able to move hand or foot for several
hours, but as we go to press she
seems to be slowly gaining, which is
certainly most cheering news.
Mr.. Webb was shaken up consider
ably, but not seriously hurt. Mrs.
Scott has a badly bruised knee as a
souvenir, Mrs. Bast suffered wrench.
ed back and Cecile received a badly
bumped nose and bruised knee. All
four Of them are receiving the con-
gratulations of their friends on their
narrow escape from serious injury.
How the entire party escaped death
is a mystery.

GERMANY MUST BE GOOD NOW
Peace Treaty OF Be Enforced if Teu-
tons Balk

The communique Of the supreme
council states that the Brussels con-
ference was called to reach agreement
before the Spa meeting July s.
The note to Germany, finally ap-
proved, states that measures will be
taken by the allies in case of non
compliance. These measures are not
specified, but it is understood that in
this contingency the occupation Of ad-
ditional German territory would be
considered.
The conference Of the premiers will
send to Germany a letter demanding
execution Of the clauses Of the treaty
Of Versailles relating to disarmament.
The text will not be given out until it
is received in Berlin, but the letter is
understood to be a refusel to allow
Germany standing army of 100000
men. Reparations and the Turkish
situation were also discussed.
The premiers considered the reports
of the financial experts as we'll as
those Of the reparation committee.
The experts fix the maximum total
sum Germany is to pay, with interest
in annuity, at a minimum Of 3,000,-
100000 marks gold, which is suscep-
tible to increase in proportion to Ger
many's economic recovery and increas-
ed capacity to pay.
While members Of the conference
seem agreed as to the amounts and
conditions Of payments, they do not
agree as to the division of reparations
among themselves because Of Italy's
demand for 20 per cent Of the amount
instead Of per cent as originally al
lotted. Both the reparations and the
Turkish questions will be given fur
ther consideration.
Although the Hythe meeting result
ed in an agreement regarding Greek
military activity in Turkey, the con-
ference has not yet reached decision
on this subject.
Turkey will not be given an extern
sion Of time to consider the peace
treaty.

THE OLD Bird
WILL SCREAM
Legion, Band and Ball Team Making
Preparations for Biggest Cele-
bration Ever Held Here
LID WILL BE OFF JULY THIRD
One Continual Round of Pleasure fo,
All Who Attend

Whenever the people of Oakes un-
dertake to do anything, they leave
nothing undone to accomplish their
purpose. Just now various committees
are busily arranging for the biggest
celebration you ever heard of, to take
place in oakes on Saturday, July 8.
Arrangements are in the hands of
the American Legion, Boosters band
and base ball association. The pro-
gram is not complete just yet, but
when the great day rolls around big
time will be ready for everybody.
Those who have wondered how the
earth looks from the clouds will have
a chance to satisfy their curiosity this
year. An aeroplane will be here, and
passengers will be allowed to take
trips.
The big doings will be given a fly
ing start by the firing of 100 Big
Berthas at sunrise. Music will be
furnished by the Boosters band; the
kids, both old and young, can enjoy
themselves riding the merry-go-round.
Boxing exhibitions and wrestling con-
tests will be on the program; water
battle, something entirely new to this
section, will be put on, and ex-soldiers
will appear in a sham battle.
In the afternoon the age-old battle
between Oakes and Glendale for su-
premacy on the base ball diamond will
be the main attraction. This year it
is hoped to reverse the usual order of
things and send the visitors home with
the short end of the. score.
A number of substantial cash prizes
are offered for automobile races, foot
races and horse races. Those wishing
to enter the auto races should see the

sen. GRONNA
VISITS OAKES
Declares That Farmers Pay far More
Than Their Share of Taxes
Under Present Regime
CORPORATIONS LET OFF EASY
Says Mckenzie Has More Power in
State Than Ever Before

The voters of this vicinity were Civ
en- an opportunity to hear Senator A.
j. Gronna last Monday morning and
many took advantage of it. The SEN
ator was scheduled to speak at 1O:30
o'clock, but it was 1880 before he got
under way. Monday morning is about
the poorest time in the week to hold
a meeting of any kind, and Mr.. Gron-
ma has reason to feel gratified by the
size Of the gathering which greeted
him.
While he is not noted as an orator,
Senator Gronna stated his case sim
ply and plainly, impressing the aud
ience with his sincerity. He gave
clear and forceful argument against
the socialistic tendencies of the pres
ent regime in North Dakota, claim
ing that our farmers are paying more
than their just proportion Of taxes
under this administration. While the
men at the head Of the league organ
ization profess to have the welfare Of
the farmers at heart, farm taxes have
been increased as much as 200 per
cent in some instances, while those
of the corporations have been raised
only slightly. Alex Mckenzie is more
completely in control Of state politics
now than ever before, according to
Mr.. Gronna, who says he can prove it.
Mckenzie never denied that he is
working for the big interests, but ac-
cording to Gronna he is able to put
over deals through Townley that were
impossible during Alexis first time on
earth
The senator believes that the Bank
Of North Dakota should be examined
and the result of the examination
made public, because it is the public's
bank and the people are entitled to
know what is being done. with their
money.
Many subjects of particular inter-
est Gust now were touched upon light
ly, as the time was limited, but it was
noticeable that Mr.. Gronna refrained
from calling any names, or indulging
in mud singing of any kind. His
talk was clean and interesting all the
way through and he was heartily ap-
plauded at various points in his dis
course.
Mr.. Gronna has served number of
years in the United States senate and
is candidate for the nomination on
the republican ticket to succeed him
self, being opposed by DR.. Ladd. The
senator is a member of several COM
mittees, the most important being the
committee on agriculture, of which he
is chairman. Only one other man
coming from west of the Mississippi
river has ever enjoyed this distinction.
Mr.. Gronna's friends believe he will
be better enabled to serve the people
of North Dakota than DR.. Ladd be-
cause of his membership on these COM
mittees. No new man could hope to
receive such recognition until he had
spent several years in the senate.
Mr.. Gronna devoted few minutes
to going over his record before, dur
ing and after the war. He showed
that while he was and is opposed to
war, he voted for every appropria-
tion proposed for war purposes, and
his sons served in France.
After the speech Mr.. Gronna re-
ceived the congratulations of a great
many of his hearers, number of
them being farmers, who assured him
of their support.

Tax Drive Announced by Byerly

Tax Drive Announced by Byerly
A two months drive for, delinquent
revenue taxes will be conducted in
North Dakota, according to an an
nouncement by w. E. Byerly of Fargo,
collector for the North Dakota dis
trict.
'1n this, as in every other section
of the country, there will be conducted

eous taxes, such as the so-called lux
ury tax, the soft drink tax, the ad-
mission tax, the manufacturers tax,
the tax on jewelry and works of art,
and the tax on toilet articles and pro-
prietary medicines" said Mr.. Byerly.

J1Nx FOLLOWS BOYS ON TRIP
Team Loses Every Game Last Week.
Finally Beat Lisbon

Last week Monday morning the base
ball team started out on a tour Of the
southeastern portion of the state, the
first game being scheduled with Mont
pelier, small town near Jamestown.
This contest was stopped by down.
pour Of rain after one inning had been
played. While the boys feel reason
ably certain they would have won,
they were on the short end Of 8 to 2
score when the rain came.
From Montpelier they motored to
Jamestown through oceans of mud, ar
riving there late in the evening. Tues
day afternoon they engaged James
town and after real ball game were
defeated 2 to 4. Errors and careless
playing were responsible for this de-
feat, as the Jamestown team did not
have Oakes outclassed in any respect.
The feature of this contest was an
Alphonse-Gaston act pulled off at Sec
ond base by Rigdon and McKeague.
Fisher also lost a chance to keep .Gool
when he "burned" a few over to first
after Kahl had missed couple of
throws. The Indian who was secured
to help out did not get into the game,
as he failed to show anything in prac-
tice except an indolent disposition.
Valley City was the next stop, and
the boys were defeated again, though
the boys made splendid showing.
Kahl started in the box but was un-
fortunate and had to be replaced by
Rigdon. The latter made the Valley
City athletes look like bushers, but
it was too late to save the game. The
score was 10 to 3.
When the team arrived at Tower
City the boys confidently expected to
wipe the earthewith them, and they
should have done it, but the jinx was
still on the job and would not be de-
MED. Tower City won by comfort
able margin. Kahl started the game
but was replaced by Knowlton, all the
regular pitchers having bad arms.
At Fargo, where Oakes met the fast
Athletics, it was necessary to bolster
the infield bit and three Moorhead
players were secured. While Fargo
won to 2 it was the best game of the
trip and there was nothing of which
to be ashamed.
The real slaughter came at Lisbon
Saturday afternoon when the locals
went down to defeat to the tune of
the free silver slogan, 16 to 1. Rig
don started this game, but his arm
was too sore and he retired after ev-
erybody but the umpire had took a
swipe at the ball. Christensen re-
placed him, but he, too, was unable
to weather the bombardment. Kahl
finished, and his reception was about
the same as that accorded the others.
When they arrived home they were
a downhearted outfit, but prepared to
turn the tables on Lisbon Sunday.
After one Of the best games of this
season, Oakes. won out 4 to 2 with
Christensen pitching shut out ball.
Errors accounted for Lisbon's two
runs. Pannebaker must be given the
credit for bringing in the winning run,
as he hit screaming single in the
eighth and scored q man from second.
Fisher brought him home with a hot
swipe to left. We're not ashamed to
publish the tabulated score.

It is easier and cheaper to plan the
farmstead on paper before a stake is
driven, a shrub planted or building
erected. Mistakes made on paper are
easily rectifed, buildings on paper
are easily moved, trees planted on pa
per cost nothing.
Plan your farmstead on paper first,
and when planning keep in mind the
following suggestions:
In selecting the site for the build
ing group, the slope and natural drain
age Of the plot should be considered,
the proximity to the highway, and the
number and position Of the trees.
The house should be placed close to
the highway, but not so close that the
summer dust will constantly rain upon
it. If it can be arranged, place the
kitchen where it will command view
of the road. Housework at best is
often monotonous, but if the house.
wife can look up occasionally from
her work and get a glimpse Of the
outside world it will add little cheer
to her indoor existence.
A well tended lawn around the
house with clumps of shrubbery ar
tistically placed will add immeasur-
ably to the attractiveness of the
farmstead.
The farm buildings should be So ar
ranged as to facilitate the chore work,
eliminate unnecessary steps, cut down
the fire hazard, provide for the COM
fort Of the cattle, make access to the
fields easy, and to keep the barn yard
noises and odors away from the farm
residence as much as possible.
The garage and horse barn should
Of course be near the house and should
be connected with it il possible by q
cement walk. In fact it adds mater
tally to the convenience Of doing the
chores If all the outbuildings are con-
nected by walks that are dry and
clean in all kinds of weather.
