oAKEs TO GET NEW PHYSICIAN
DR.. w. r. Owen Will Open OMees In
Locke Building Soon

Once again our judgment in regard
ing Oakes az the best place on the
map has been vindicated. DR.. w. r.
Owen, formerly Of Usage, Iowa, has
been in search Of new location for
some time. After looking the country
over, particularly North Dakota terri
tory, he has unhesitatingly awarded
Cakes the palm, and will locate here
for the practice of medicine and sur
gerry. He has secured office rooms in
the Locke building, which is now be-
ing remodeled, and as soon as they
are ready for occupancy, which will
be about week or ten days, will move
his family here and start his practice.
DIR. Owen was graduated in 1908
from the University of Iowa, and for
the following year and half acted as
house doctor in the university hospital.
Since that time he has continuously
had a practice Of his own, being last
located at Usage. The doctor makes
a speciality of obstetrics and children's
diseases, and has been most successful
in this work.
DIR. Owen has most pleasing per-
sonality, is a member of the Masonic
lodge, and will undoubtedly have a
host of friends in Oakes in short
time. Mrs. Owen and two children
have been visiting in Dickey, where
they will remain until such time as
the alterations on the Locke block are
completed, when the family will be at
home ina suite of rooms adjacent to
the office. We haven't met the doc
tors wife as yet, but he says she is
the best in the world, and we know it
must be so-that's the kind we all
have. Oakes people will heartily well
come this estimable family.
The doctor comes we'll recommend
ed, and will doubtless build up lu-
crative practice in a short while.

.HOLD-UP MEN
ROB TRAVELLER
George o. Tufford Stopped by Two
Men and Relieved of Spare
Change
CROOKS MAKE THEIR GETAWAY
May Be Part of Gang Operating in
This Section

Occasionally one hears man make
extravagant statements about "what
I would do if l were held up" but
conservative listeners take the re-
marks with a large lump of salt.
George o. Tufford, travelling for the
Northwestern Supply company, with
headquarters at Fargo, is making the
territory adjacent to Oakes this week
and he had an experience Tuesday
morning which he will not soon forget.
He says he used to belong to the
''eat-em-up-alive" boys who would do
wonderful stunts while looking down
the muzzle Of forty-fve, but he has
changed his mind. He knows what
he would do now, for he has done it,
and says he'd do the same thing again,
only he'd be quicker about it.
While on the road north of w. R.
Singleton's farm about II o'clock, he
was stopped by two young fellows
driving Ford. When he first saw
them he supposed they were having
some sort of car trouble and needed
help, but no sooner had he brought
his car to stop than the men order
ed him to elevate his hands, whic!,
command was backed by two murder
ous-looking revolvers. He stuck his
hands in the air so high that his feet
were almost lifted off the ground, and
held them there while the two rifled
his pockets.
They secured $22.0O in cash and a
package of cigarettes, but in their
haste to get the job finished overlook
ed couple Of $500 bills in one of his
upstairs pockets. After performing
this financial operation the two thugs
ordered him to get back into his car
and "drive." He was just trifle
more anxious to get away from there
than they were to have him, and the
way he heightened the space between
himself and his late friends would
make Barney Oldfeld green with envy.
He came to town to report the rob-
berry, but the chief was away on bust
ness, Singleton was in the cities and
he could not locate the mayor until
about $500 o'clock in the afternoon.
A description Of the men was OBJ
tanned and word sent out in all direc-
tions to be on the watch, but up to
now neither Of them has been appre-
hended.
The victim takes his experience phil
osophically, but says he does wish
they had left his cigarettes, because
he surely needed q smoke after it was
all over. <
Numerous other robberies have been
reported in this section Of the state,
and these two men may be q part Of
the gang.

THE FIRST DIeKEY COUNTY FAIR
Ellendale to Put On Big Three Days
Celebration

The three most important days on
the calendar for this county the pres
ent year will be October 2, and 9, at
which time the first annual Dickey
county fair is scheduled to be held.
The committee in charge has prac-
tically completed all arrangements for
the grand affair, and the attractions
will include aeroplane stunt flying,
platform performers, music, singing,
etc., and the live stock and farm pro-
ducts exhibit is expected to surpass
anything ever shown in this part Of
the state.
The premium list is now in the
hands of the printer and If you Dc not
receive copy you are requestsd To
drop a postal card to the secretary at
Glendale and he will see that you. get
one at once. Premiums are ;offered
for every variety Of live stock, poul-
try, grains and garden truck.
For detailed information write "a
Thos. Brouillard, chairman, or O. L
Schulstad, secretary.
Almost every county III the state
which amounts to anything has sonat
kind Of fair every year, and it is pass
ing strange that it has taken Dickey
SO long to get onto the band wagon.
We can raise just as big pumpkins as
anybody else, can draw just as big
crowds, offer just as good premiums
and put on just as good fair.
OF course we think the exhibition
should be held in Oakes, but since we
were too slow we'll have to hand it
to Glendale this once.
ELL 'er up with gas, shoot her into
high and spend all three days at the
county seat at fair time.

'BRIDEGRooM-ELEcT HON
Noonans Entertain for w. 7. Wiz, .
Benedict Since Yesterday

f The w. T. Noonan home was the
scene Of q very pleasant social gath
ering last Friday evening, when Mr..
and Mrs. Noonan entertained at
seven-o'clock dinner in honor Of w. T.
Wig, Of the North American Cream
cry company staff, who was united in
marriage yesterday at Fargo to Miss
Zelda Wineman.
Covers were laid for eight. Mr..
Wig, as the center Of attraction, oc-
-cupied a seat adorned with a large
bridal bouquet, opposite the host. The
other places were filled by Messrs.
Fred Roney, Stroup, G. C. Bush, Neu-
meister, Salveson and Bassingwaite.
Mrs. Noonan superintendent the culin-
ary end Of the delectable four-course
dinner, which left nothing to be de-
sired.
After the eight husky appetites had
been appeased, all adjourned to the
card tables, where the remainder of
the evening was spent. The host en-
deavored to put into practice the
ory in high finance, which proved,
however, to be boomerang.
Quite naturally the lion of the even
ing was the target for many witty
and sarcastic thrusts, as well as some
alleged sound advice from the older
married heads present.
The guests departed at late hour,
after thanking the host and hostess
for most enjoyable evening, and
wishing Mn Wig the best of luck on
his voyage on the tempestuous sea Of
matrimony.

Republicans Sweep Maine

Maine gave an overwhelming plu-
rality to the republican ticket in the
state election last Monday. With a
total vote larger by $1,000 than the
highest ever previously Cast in the
state, Parkhurst was elected governor
by margin of $4,000 over his demo-
cratic opponent. The plurality was
$1,000 more than the largest obtain
ed by any other gubernatorial candi-
date in the history Of the state.
Four republican representatives to
congress were elected by large plu-
ralities. Every member of the state
senate will be republican while the
democrats succeeded in electing thir-
teen representatives.
The increase in the total vote was
largely accounted for by the presence
of women at the polls for the first
time. All over the state women were
eager to grasp the opportunity of ex-
ercising their new privilege and they
were undaunted by the heavy down.
pour of rain in the afternoon. The re-
suits show. that most Of them voted
the republican ticket.
AS the returns came in, showing
from the first evidences of tremen-
dous republican victory, democratic
state leaders were silent as to the
possible significance Of the vote with
relation to the presidential election
in November.
The republican governor-elect, when
he learned Of his victory, stated that
the democrats had contested the cleo
tion vigorously on national issues and
said that the outcome gave most con-
elusive evidence that the voters Of
Maine resent the autocratic, un-Amer-
lean administration that the democrats
have given us. He declared it was
equally an Endorsement Of Harding
and Coolidge.
Matters Of merely state Importance
were hardly touched upon in the cam
paign. The leading speakers were
men Of national prominence, both par
ties striving to effect good showing
in the barometer state," the only
state in the union to hold its state
election before November.

We're With Him

During the past week or ten days
considerable criticism has been direct
ed at certain local minister. Moth
ing has been said against the charac-
ter of the above mentioned clergyman,
and as far as we know nothing should
or could be said against him along that
line. Whenever we hear anybody
make disparaging remarks concerning
a man of God we have a fellow feel
ing for him, because newspaper men
and ministers, it has always seemed
to us, are criticised more and for less
reason than men in any other calling.
The reverend gentleman was recently
appointed district game warden and
he seems to feel that the appointmenr
carries with it certain amount of
responsibility-that in fact he is sup.
posed to do his best to see that every
body obeys the game laws and "soon-
ers" get their just deserts. How he
ever got such queer idea is one Of
the principal causes of the discussion
among local people. Many game war
dens take advantage Of their position
and go hunting out of season them
selves, thereby setting an extremely
bad example to the rest of the people
and breeding disregard for the law
of the land which often does not en:l
in the violation of the game statute.
Some folks think he should not have
accepted this appointment. No good
reason for this position is advanced.
We fail to see why a minister has not
just as good right to be game warden
as anybody else, and it gives US
thrill Of pleasure to know that the man
in question "goes out and gets 'em,"
when they violate the law, and their
position in life doesn't make any diff.
ference to him. The law provides for
a game warden, and presumes that he
will do his duty. If he does not, he
is disgrace to the office. If the
members Of this gentleman's congre-
cation do not approve of his partici-
patton in the duties Of game warden,
it might be well to increase his salary
to point where it will be unnecessary
for him to seek additional income from
an outside source. In the meantime,
we would advise oil prospective
"sooners" that it isn't - safe to hunt
on Sunday - it might be, and che
minister viii get 'em II they don't
watch out."

NOTES OF THE
FARM BUREAU
Seller Who Offers Articles Of Besl
Grade Always Given Preference
in All Markets
ADVERTISE COUNTY THRU FAIR
County Agent Believes This is Good
Time to Start Raising Sheep

It has been demonstrated many
times that in the markets Of the world
the, seller with the best graded pro:
ducts is the favorite, because graded
goods are standard and the buyer
knows what he will get when he buys
Standardization establishes a common
language between the buyer in one
country and the seller in another,
which creates understanding and con-
fidence and prevents disputes.
A national grading system usually
provides for authorized national in
spectors to pass upon the goods and
thus puts into effect uniform stan
dard application Of the grades estab-
lished, whatever they may be, that
cannot be maintained unless the sys-
tenn is nation wide in it's scope. In
fact, experience has shown that the
decisive factor in the development Of
foreign business often hinges on the
proper standardization and grading of
the products to be sold.
y One of the most effective. methods
of advertising the county is through
the medium of the county fair. Some
one has aptly said: "If community
bloweth not it's own horn by some
form of community activities, verify
by whom shall it be blown?" The ex-
cellence Of neighborhood products and
the special lines in which various in
dividuals excel may seem like very
old story to those Immediately con-
cerned, but there are plenty Of folks
near by who have not heard it. It is
very much worth while from bust
ness standpoint to repeat it, and more
than once.
Conditions are very favorable this
year for starting small farm flocks of
sheep. In fact they are more favor
able than they have been in the past
three years. Western full-mouthed
ewes can be bought at from $500 to
$500 a head and young ewes, that is,
yearlings, two and three year olds'
for around 500 or $500. With such
conditions as to purchase price, to.
gether with the fact that the breeding
stock is in good flesh this year and
further, that there is large acreage
Of short grain which has made a great
deal of waste in the stubble fields and
q large amount Of weeds and rough
age in the country, we think start
in sheep raising this fall has every
prospect Of being profitable ven
ture. While the price Of wool may not
be high, the indications are that il
will come back to normal and since
there is no over-supply Of sheep In
the country and feed ID abundant, We
consider the feeding and raising o1
sheep q very safe undertaking.
