JOINS. TIE SILENT MAJORITY"
Junior Editor. Of Tinss .wsds Valley
3 49, e:,ts@ ~ City Girl ~,

This week We the senior editoF)
are called upon to chronicle the hap-
piest- event which has fallen to our
lot since assuming the responsible
tiles incident to assisting in the pub,
lication Of the Times. While It 10 q
pleasure TO perform this little duty,
We hope it will not be necessary for
rs to repeat the performance-and,
taking it al in all, we feel reasonably
certain that it will not.
In spite Of our repeated warnings
In regard to the "terrors" Of married
life, the junior editor, E. F. Bassing-
waite, turned deaf ear and made the
"fatal" plunge last Sunday afternoon,
when he was united in marriage to
Miss Clara G. Dahl, daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. ]. Dahl, and one Of
the fairest Of Valley City's young
ladies, the ceremony taking place at
the home Of, and being performed by,
Rev. Eugene Nelson, Valley City di-
vine. Miss Stella Martin, the brides
chum, acted in the capacity Of brides
maid, while Mac Fuller, close persnn-
al friend Of the groom,awas best man,
and we should not be at all surprised
If some time sin the. near future the
newlyweds shopld be asked to act in
a similar capacity for these young
folks. y.
The bride is charming young lady
Of many accomplishments. and is a
graduate Of the Valley City normal.
She will be welcomed by Cakes peo-
pie as q valuable addition to our So
cial life. We always did think Ed
had excellent taste, and now we are
convinced Of it. ,.et
And Ed? Well, you all know him.
He has been resident Of Oakes for
number Of years, coming here when
just . youngster to work for Mr..
Wright, then owner Of the Times.
That he rendered faithful service is
shown by the length Of time he served
in this capacity. While we have
known him intimately only short
time, we have found him to be every
thing man should be, which is COM
rpliment enough for anybody.
The young folks will be at home
after April 18th in one Of the Wright
flats over the Times Office. We wish
them many years Of welded bliss.
and in this wish we feel that we are
Joined by everybody in Oakes.

A baseball meeting is called to be
held at the Times Office next Saturday
evening at $500 o'clock. All who are
interested in organizing a club to rep.
resent Oakes on the diamond the com.
ing season are invited to be present
The success or failure of this project
depends altogether upon the enthusi.
asm which is shown by local players
It will be necessary to hire at least
two players and we think there is
enough good timber here to fill out 8
good team. Baseball enthusiasts
should make it point to be present
because we want a good turnout. Re.
member, Saturday evening at the
Times Office.

Notice

Owners of all animals. including
fowls Of all kinds, are to keep said
animals at home. Fowls are declar-
ed to be nuisance, so it behooves
owners to keep close watch of them.
Dogs are more than a nuisance to
many, but the owners think them
worth keeping. Dogs will be licensed
and tagged, fee Of three dollars will
be charged for males, and five dollars
for females. So many complaints
have come to the city council that this
notice is necessary.

ROBERT SEEDS
WILL LECTURE
Fourth Connuaity Meetings Take
Place at Grand Theatre on
March 81 and April I
SWISS ENTERTAINERS COMING
Three Big Double Programs Will B,
Presented

The fourth and last number Of the
community programs will be present.
ed at the Grand Theatre on Wednes-
day and Thursday, March 81 and
April 1.
Robert Seeds, q, lecturer of note.
has been secured to deliver three ad-
dresses, and the musical prelude will
be given by Rudolph's Swiss Enter
tainers, who are conceded to be among
the very best in their profession. This
quartette is composed Of three ladies'
and q gentleman, and If their advance
notices are any criterion, Oakes peo-
pie will be well repaid for the slight
expenditure of money necessary to
gain admission.
According to reports sent out from
headquarters, Bob Seeds is the only
farmer in America who has made a
success of both farming and profess
sional lyceum and chautauqua lectur-
ing. More years ago than the colonel
cares to admit, Bob Seeds bought a
rundown farm that had been sold
for back taxes. He Immediately be-
gan to clean it up and put new life
into it's sterile soil. It wasn't very
long before every one began to talk
about the magic change that was be-
ing wrought on the old place. Then
the state Of. Pennsylvania got busy
and carted Farmer Seeds over the old
Keystone territory, so that he might
tell other farmers how he had per-
formed a miracle at Birmingham
the village postofice bearing the pre-
tentious cognomen, and his farm was
right near the town. The chautauqua
drafted him. The lyceum put him to
work telling his story in other states.
Like Ebert Hubbard, Bob sold more
than lectures. He gave more than
any audience paid for. It was not
long before farmers from all over the
country began to send to him for the
rich, alluvial deposits which Dame
Nature had so generously hidden un-
der the rocks on his farm. He sold
the soil by the bushel, and turned this
old rundown abandoned piece of out
doors into veritable propagating
farm, where life and plant foods were
almost created.
Then the bankers and bricklayers,
the merchants and the national gath
erings Of all kinds began to draft him
into service, and he has been busy
telling them about "How God Made
the Soil Fertile" When he gets tired
Of that he tells them about how to
make home happy, and with it all he
is never too busy to spread sunshine
and good cheer to all who come in
contact with him.
Hear him yourself at the Grand.

LANCER TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR
Announces Platfern. Upoa Which, h.
e viii Seek SuDpost:


North Dakota, has announced that he
y candidate for the republican CUB
&natorial nomination in the state pri-
mary to be held on June 80.
Mr.. Langer's announcement is made
in letter addressed to Victor Ander-
son, Simon ]. Nagel and J. W. Evans,
officers Of the Farmers' Federated
clubs and Of LANCER for Governor
clubs.
His platform, as announced, calls
for rural credit banks operated at
cost; state-owned flour mills operated
under nonpolitical management; a
more practical and efficient hail insur-
ance law; irrigation in western North
Dakota; protection Of legitimate pri-
vate business; increased salaries for
school teachers and better school con-
ditions; reduced living costs; equal
dealings for the laborer, the farmer,
the business and professional man;
Decentralization Of power now held by
the governor; impartial accounting by
state industries; assistance for return
ed soldiers; state assistance for CO.
operative enterprises; farmer repre-
sentation on ell state boards; return
OF power Of state superintendent Of
instruction and lower taxes.
II have been the attorney general
for all the people and have not per-
mitted myself to become the chattel,
rubber stamp, plaything or tool Of A.
c. Townley or any other political
boss" Mr.. LANCER said in announcing
his candidacy.
II have honestly used my utmost
endeavor to carry out the platform
upon which l was elected. On the
other hand Townley has made no hon
est effort to carry out that program
but has acted at all times from selfish
motives and has built up personal
political machine which is controlled
absolutely by him, and which not only
extends to the newspapers and banks
which he has organized but reaches
into the very legislative halls of the
state and even controls many state
officials.
'The time has come for the people
OF the state to decide whether the
seat Of government Of North Dakota
shall be brought back to Bismarck
from st. Paul, and whether the people
or Townley shall rule. The people
must decide whether a state official
under solemn oath to serve the peo-
pie must be the abject tool Of Townley
or be sacrificed.
"More than a year ago I dedicated
myself to the defeat Of Townley and
his ring Of imported politicians. My
tours through the state and the pc
tition Of thousands of farmers and
others have convinced me that the
fight can best be continued by my
becoming a candidate for governor
at this time"

Fear of Ban Against

Objection to Girl Star

LOUISVILLE, July 5.-Fear Of adding
fuel to the fame of ministerial objection
to Sunday baseball, especially on city
owned diamonds, was assigned as the
real reason the board of park com
missioners refused TO allow Miss Helen
Ludwig, Is years old to play first base
for a team in the City Amateur league.
Baseball is a healthy, clean sport"
said Miss Ludwig yesterday, and any
thing that is healthy and clean and ele-
waiting is not only not bad on Sunday,
but real blessing. And if 1t is good for
boys, it's good for girls. We would lave
better, healthier and prettier girls If
baseball became popular womah' S

ball, and because l know l can play the
game. ! am going TO get into another
league, and I'll show them whether or not
a girl can play ball"
Friends and fans are indignant at the
barring Of the girl Arrangements now
are being made to obtain a diamond
on which Miss Ludwig viii be allowed to
play.

A. 3. C.'s in Double
Bill With Speedy
Team From Detroit

Taylor's A. 2. C.s had a task before
them today in the scheduled double at
traction with the Detroit Stars at Wash
ington park, but the locals believed they
had the proper stuff to turn back the
strong Michiganders. despite the 9-to-2
defeat Of Sunday.
Johnson and Dismukes were ready for
mound duty this afternoon, and they were
expected to be backed up by better hit
ting than was displayed by the A. B. C.s
Sunday.
The Detroit Stars are proving popular
here, due to the fact that several former
A. B. C.s are playing with the visitors.
Jimmy Lyons and Warfeld former
local favorites. are prominent mem ers of
the visiting crew, and their work Sunday
was a decided feature. Lyons is an In
'dianapolis product, and he seems TO be
playing just as good a brand Of base
ball as in former years. His hitting,
along with that Of Warfeld, put the De
troit team out in front Sunday.
About 5000 fans witnessed the Sunday
fracas and the attendance today was ex-
pected to exceed that
With Holland. the Detroit teams best
hurler, out of the way, a. P. c. followers
were confident of a double victory this
afternoon. Holland pitched one Of the
best games seen at Washington park this
season, the locals getting only three

NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Vickers Boosts Rookie
and McGraw Takes Him

NEW YORK, July 5.-Rube Vickers,
who once pitched left-handed for Connie
Mack and later southpawed for several
seasons for the Baltimore Orioles, was
visitor at the Polo grounds Saturday
Rube brought a young left handed
pitcher named RUDE Chambers on the
hoof all the way from Kalamazoo and
personally conducted him to John ]. Nc
Graw.
This boy is aas good as I was at
his age" says Vickers, land they
amt nobody that can say 1 didn't have
the stuff. OF course, l mayn't always
have got it over. but the batters always
gave me plenty of room up there at the
plate. If McGraw will go along with
Chambers I think he'll do in the big
show"
Chambers has been taken on trial by
Manager McGraw, who is overlooking no
pitching prospects these days.
