YOU HAVE HEARD THE
DRUM OFTEN ENOUGH

Sometimes we wonder If the Sal
walton Army really does any good at
it's open meetings. In these days
Of practical application of religion,
We are apt to overlook the spiritual
side but witness the letter quoted
below which was received by the
corps officer in Omaha from a TAI
who is in Boone, Iowa:
Dear Sir:-Probably you don't
remember the young ma with the
white sport shirt in the Foreground
during your Sunday incoming mec'-
ing at the park, but there was a lad
there down and out in several
ways.
"l am a college boy from Ohio,
here to work, penniless, friendless
and desperate. / was planning a
robbery that morning my frs
when you came. l have listened 20
dc2ens of Salvation Army meetings,
bu. yours touched me tremendously
was a ministerial student at col
lcGe. yet my condition made me for
get all those things. If l had com
pitted that crime / coGld never have
returned to my dear old mother and
sweetheart. can't thank YOU
enough for saving me. l feel happy
and hopeful tonight, aud fea' that
tfat temptation is overcome
Il is worth while after all, isn't
it?

GIVEN a raRrMELL PICNIC

surprise picnic supper was given tnat
evening by jolly bunch of the lady
workers on South Park in honor of
Miss Mayme Downey, the efficient
and obliging clerk at the J. II. Baker
grocery, who severed her relations
with that store on Saturday. After
greetings were extended the refresh
mepts consisting of hot weiners, COZ
fee with real cream and sugar, bread
and butter sandwiches, pickles, cake
and the things that make delicious
lunch were INDUCED in during much
merriment. This was followed by
ice cream, cake and minis.
The second surprise to Miss
Downey was the reading of poem
written for the occasion by the lady
who read it. At the parting good
byes were said to Miss Downey, with
the feeling that showed how much
she would be missed. Following =
the poem:
Ode to Wayne
Rather lonely are our faces,
Very brave our hearts tonight
AS we meet on south side Park street
For our Mayme is taking a fight.
There were eighteen lady workers
Till South Side sustained this loss.
Mayme, among the first ones here,
Came to send a lad across.
From any patriotic duty
She was never known to quale,
And at any obligation
She has ne'er begun to fail.
Even nature has been weeping ,
Tho her skies had long been dry,
Emblematic of our feelings
AS we come to say goodbye"
Morning, noon and evening
We will miss the CHEEKY call
AS to and from our work We went
She saluted one and all.
Other faces we have cherished,
Other footsteps we have missed,
But our jolly, saucy Wayne
Is so different from the rest.
Though we are not superstitions .-
And we wish her Joy serene
We scarce can bear the thought
That we will be only seventeen.
Farewell Wayne one consolation,
While we're lonely at the thought
Others profit by our losing
Though by Myriad others sought.
Mayme when time goes gliding
swiftly
With the pleasure progress filings,
Don't forget your pals on Park street
For the brilliance downtown brings.
AS you've labored hard among us
Now we hope you'll take a rest,
And best wishes for your future
To accompany your sequest.

JOE BARTA KILLED BY HORSE
Well Known Fullerton Man Dies "a
Result of Injuries

Joe Barta, known all over this Sec
tion as an auctioneer of ability, and
a man who numbered his friends by
his acquaintances, met q tragic death
at his farm last Saturday.
While working around the barn in
the morning, he passed behind stall
lion kept in one Of the stalls. His
sudden appearance must have startled
the animal, for it lashed out with one
hind foot, striking Mr.. Barta ter
rifle blow just below the heart.
DR.. Stokes Of Fullerton was imme-
diately summoned and he called in
another physician. Together they de-
cided that an operation offered the
only hope, but even this proved of
no avail and the unfortunate man
passed away that afternoon.
Funeral services were conducted
from the farm home Tuesday after
noon, and fina! interment was made
in the Fullerton cemetery. Hundreds
Ut friends Of. the family came to pay
ytl!Air last respects to the departed.
Mr.. Barta has travelled all over this
section during the past few years,
auctioneering sales, and was one Of
the most widely known men in the
county. His sudden taking away will
be keenly felt by host Of friends.
His father was killed in the same
manner about two years ago.

G. o. P. Plank Missing

The law and order plank adopted
by the republican national convention
has been left out Of the platform as
printed for distribution and issued
from republican headquarters, ,Vir-
gilig Hinshaw, chairman Of the pro-
hibition national committee, said Sat-
urday.
Yesterday went to the headquar-
ters Of the republican national COM
mittee in Chicago and Captain Vic
tor Heintz in charge admitted the
omission and said he was taking the
matter up with the authorities in
New York in order to ascertain the
reason for leaving it out"
The plank referred to by Mr.. Hin
shaw was this:
''The equality Of all citizens under
the law has always been q policy Of
the republican party. Without obe-
pdience to law and maintenance Of or
der, our American institutions must
perish. Our laws must be impartially
enforced and speedy justice should
be secured"

LAYER Is CLAIMED INNOCENT
Friends Urge Governor to Aid in
Getting New Hearing

Friends and relatives Of Henry
Layer, serving a life term in the pen
itentiary for the murder of the Wolf
family and chore boy, eight persons
in all, near Turtle Lake in April,
have raised the issue of his guilt.
A delegation called upon Governor
Frazier Monday afternoon and asked
the governor to take steps to insure
Layer another hearing. The governor
told them, it was announced, that If
they believed the man to be innocent,
they should engage a lawyer to make
an effort to obtain new trial by ap-
pealing to the supreme court.
Gust Brokofsky, one Of the spokes-
men for the delegation, said that
Layer could not have committed the
murder-that he was at his home at
the time when part of the shooting
was done. The farmers advance the
theory that there were two people
engaged in the crime and that the
murders were not all committed at
the same time. They elso declare
Layer now says that he is innocent
that he confessed under duress and
that he confessed only to escape de-
tectives and gain communication
with friends.
It became known Tuesday that the
Minneapolis detective employed by
the governor at the time Of the mur-
der visited the Turtle Lake region on
Friday and Saturday Of last week.
What report he made is not available.
The reward Of $1,000 offered for the
apprehension Of the murderer has
never been paid.

FREIGHT RATES ARE GOING UP
Increase Necessary Because of Boost
in Wages

Six hundred million dollars was
added TO the pay envelope of the ma
tion's two million railroad workers
in the first award handed down by
the United States railway labor
board at Chicago.
Rejecting the demands of the or
ganized rail unions for increases to-
falling approximately one billion dol
lars, the board decided approximate
ly 60 per cent Of that sum would be
a just increase to meet present liv-
ing conditions.
The award adds approximately 81
per cent to the present pay schedules.
Railroad officials have declared that
any pay increase awarded the fhen
must be followed by corresponding
increase in rates and they plan, it is
said, to file new tariffs with the
Interstate Commerce commission as
soon as they can be prepared.
Whether the award as given will
stave off the threat Of general rail-
road strike remains to be seen. The
leaders of practically every one of
the sixteen big railroad unions were
present when Judge r. N. Barton,
chairman Of the board, handed down
the decision. They left Immediately
to present the award to one thousand
general chairmen, who had gathered
at Chicago to pass on it's acceptable
ity. The union presidents refused
to make any comment before the
meeting. The terms of the decision
had been known to them the day pre-
vious and they believed then their men
would stay in line at least until ref
erendum vote can be taken. Nearly
a month will be needed for the refer
endum.

LOSES ODD GAME TO oAKEs
Lisbon ON Short End in Third Straight
Defeat Last Sunday

Babe Ruth with his thirty-two
home runs hasn't anything on Chet
Mcintyre Of the Oakes ball team.
Chet may not hit quite as many as
Babe, but he has an uncanny habit
Of slamming them out when they
mean something.
The boys motored over to Lisbon
again last Sunday, taking along an
aggregation Of mis-fits, and never
wasers, and really expected to be
beaten. But it wasn't on the boards
that way. They started right out in
the first inning and grabbed off lead
of four runs, the last two coming in
on McIntyre's home run hit. The fin
al score was 9 to 8.
It is particularly gratifying to be
able to chronicle this third straight
defeat Of the Lisbon team, because
they were SO mean when they were
winning that 16 to 1 game some time
ago. At that time even the Lisbon
manager became sarcastic and re-
quested that the Oakes team be chas-
ed off the field, as they were such a
bum bunch Of performers they didn't
deserve any consideration. Earl Gal
lion, who was acting manager dur
ing that awful game, informed the
Lisbon man that he would have to
eat that remark before the season
was over, and we have lived to see
the fulfllment Of his prophecy.
Lisbon turns out well to ball game
but as umpire baiters and dirty root
ers they have no peers in this Sec
tion. When they see that the home
team is in a fair way to receive a
drubbing the rooters take it out on
the umpire and opposing players.
They are the hardest losers we know.
Both teams had dispensed with
their salaried players and the game
was not as good as it would have
been with the regulars in the lineup.

Accepts Wilson Plan

Governor j. M. Cox Of Ohio, the
democratic nominee for president, ac-
cepted not only President Wilson's un-
compromising stand on the League
of Nations at the White House con-
ference, but Mr.. Wilson's plan to win
the election on this as a paramount
issue.
President Wilson believes that the
same western states which broke
from their republican moorings and
carried him to victory in 1916 can be
relied upon, with proper attention by
the democratic campaign managers, to
repeat the performance this year. in
surfing election of Cox and Roosevelt
and indorsement Of Wilson's policies.

SCHOOL BOARD
LETS CONTRACT
Dream of New. Educational Structure
is Soon to Become
Reality
ABERDEEN MAN IS Low BIDDER
Work Will Begin as Soon as Materia
is Available

Bids were opened Tuesday after
noon for the construction Of the new
school building. They called for the
ENCLOSING Of the complete structure,
and varied from about $145,000 to
over $150,000. After due delibera-
tion and consultation with their ar
chitect, G. E. Bell, the board awarded
the contract on the following day to
Fred E. Peterson Of Aberdeen, who
was the lowest bidder.
The contract as let calls for the
construction Of the ground floor, or
basement, as soon as the materials
can be put on the ground. Work will
probably begin early next month.
The foundation and walls will be run
up high enough to put in the floor
joists and rough floor OF the first
story, which will be covered with tar
red felt roofing to keep out the snow
during the winter, and left until
spring opens up. By that time it is
hoped that the financial difficulties
will be smoothed out, and the mater
ials available to push construction Of
the building to completion next sum-
mer.
The first step toward removing the
obstacles in the way Of financing the
new building will be taken on Tues
day, August 8. At present the dis
trict is bonded to the legal limit, but
the money obtained by the bond issue
authorized by the voters of the dis
trict~last winter will have to be
stretched considerably to put in the
basement this fall. On August 8 the
voters have the opportunity of in
creasing the debt limit of the district
an additional 5 per cent Of the as
sessed valuation. If this measure
carries it will enable the district later
to issue about 100000 more bonds
upon the present valuation. The new
valuation will undoubtedly be substan-
TALLY higher, which will make a
larger issue possible.
All this is contingent upon the sue
cessful carrying Of the measure to
be voted upon week from Tuesday.
To raise the debt limit requires that
a majority of the voters Of the dis
trict vote Yes. Failure to vote at all
will count against the measure the
same as vote No. We hope you see
the point.
The status Of our schools for next
year has been questioned. Supt.
Gould informs us that as soon as the
State Department Of Education re.
ceived notice last winter that the bond
issue was successfully passed, he was
officially notified that our high school
is retained on the first class list and
on the roll Of the North Central asso-
citation for another year. This means
that for the school year 1o20-21 our
schools will have the same standing
as they have had in the past.
What standing they will have after
next year depends on what the voters
Of the district do on August 8.

Independents to Celebrate

Anti-socialist forces Of the state
will hold great rally at Spiritwood
lake on Saturday, July 81, to celebrate
the defeat Of the league referred
measures, and many candidates in
the recent primary, and to rouse spir-
it for the final fall battle at the polls.
An all-day program has been pre-
pared, and thousands Of people are ex-
pected to be present. Already 800
persons have promised to drive to the
lake on that day, bringing with them
from 3 to s persons for the celebration.
It is probable that plans will be
advanced at the meeting to initiate a
measure placing the control of the
millions Of dollars in the Bank of
North Dakota in responsible and prop
er officers Of the state.

THE BOOSTERS
ARE COMING
St. Paul Wholesalers and Jobbers Plan
to Visit Oakes Next Tuesday
Evening
ARE TOURING IN SPECIAL TRAIN
Open Air Meeting Will Be Held in
Oakes Pavilion

Arrangements are being made for
the reception Of whole train load Of
st. Paul wholesalers and jobbers, due
to arrive here at $40 p. m. next
Tuesday.
These men are making tour of the
northwest in their own special train
for the purpose of meeting their GUS
toners, the local business men along
the line, and also to get an insight
into conditions in this section.
On their arrival they will be met at
the 500 depot by a delegation from
our Commercial club and brought up
town in automobiles. A half hour
has been allotted for the visitors to
call on local merchants and size up
the mercantile situation generally, af-
ter which they will return to the train
for dinner.
The parade will take place at 1880
o'clock, when, led by the Minnesota
band, the party will march up town
to the pavilion, where the program
will be given. A number of prominent
speakers are with the party and they
will give US some valuable pointers.
This meeting is open to the public and
a special invitation is extended to all
farmers and their families.
At the conclusion of the program,
the floor will be cleared and the ev-
ening given over to dancing.
St. Paul wholesalers and jobbers are
vitality interested in the welfare of the
northwest, as it is from this section
of the country that they secure the
greater portion of their business.
They come out once every year,
touring different sections each time,
to get acquainted with local distrib-
uters with whom they transact busi-
ness at all seasons of the year. Clos
er business relations and better mu-
tual understanding results from these
little conferences, and everybody ben
efits. Local business men find out
that the city chaps are human instead
of mere machines, and the city men
learn more about the view point of
the men who make up the country dis
tricts. We're planning big surprise
for the visitors, so you'd better be
here and help the thing along.
