SCHOOL HOUSE NOW ASSURED
Bond Election Carries by Overwhelm.
ing Majority

Advocates of new school building
for Oakes have reason to be highly
elated over the outcome of the bond
election held last Friday.
A total Of 474 votes were cast, only
five Of which were registered against
the proposition. That the women are
vitality interested is shown by the fact
that PAL of the fair sex braved the
cold weather in order to cast their
ballots.
Oakes has been sorely in need of a
new school building for great many
years, and the old shack which has
been doing duty has become such an
eyesore to residents and visitors alike
that it is wonder even five people
in town were against building q new
one.
Just what the plans of the board
of education are is not definitely
known at present, but it is very like
ly that they will advertise for bids
within a short time in order that the
contract may be let within rs short a
time az possible.
1t is proposed to have plans drawn
for a building to cost upwards Of
5000, 10000, and have work start on
one unit Of this building % soon rs
may be. This unit will be complete
building in itself, but will be 90 con-
structed as to be an integral part of
the final structure.
This is in accordance with the idea
advanced by the state inspector in an
address before the commercial club
some time ago. Whether it will be
possible to follow out his suggestions
remains to be seen.
What we are most devoutly thank
full for just now is that we are really
going to have a new school building.

FARM BUREAU DIRECTORS MEET
State Agent Leader Present...County
Program for 1920 Discussed

A meeting of the directors Of the
Dickey County Farm bureau was held
in the Commercial club rooms at Full
lerton Friday afternoon, Jan. %.
Those attending were Messrs. lie
man, Relish, Dickinson, Persinger,
Kuhn, Mueller, Kuenning and Fuller.
Despite bad roads and very stormy
weather a quorum was present and a
tentative program for 1920 to 1925
was discussed. It should be noted
that this program represents the ideas
and consensus Of opinion of the board
of directors and is especially adapted
to the needs of Dickey county.
The program Of necessity must be
based on present sources Of income.
In the main these are corn, potatoes,
poultry, hogs and sheep, with feed for
stock, such as hay, pasture and forage
crops. This means bread and milk,
butter and eggs, meat, potatoes and
Notwithstanding to eat and some
thing to wear-very essential pro-
ducts. The problems that confront
the Dickey county farmers are hon;
to produce. these commodities mSSrSs e
profitably and how to improve the
quality. While there is no complete
answer to the above because there is
no infallible rule that can be applied,
there is partial solution. which will
be worked out in harmony with the
county program that was evolved by
the directors. ,.s
The county is for the present divid
ed into twelve districts or large COM
munities and a chairman for each was
chosen. These men preside at COM
munity meetings in their districts and
assist in carrying out the program
that farmers in that particular COM
munity decide upon. These chairmen
are as follows:
Glover, H. K. Haldeman; Wright
Porter, T. J. Kelsh; Monango, Chris
Gebhardt; Merricourt, not chosen;
Oakes, N. ]. Nelson; Clement, Swan
Johnson; Fullerton, Robert Kuhn;
Hamburg Albion, E. n. Heine; Spring
Valley, John Wirch; Ludden, N. B.
Linville; Guelph, c. B. Maddox; Sill
verleaf, A. D. Babcock; Glendale, C.
E. Pierce; Forbes, A. S. Marshall.

JAZZ Music
IS UNDER BAN
Y. M. C. A. Speakers at Valley City
Claim 1t is Aimed at Honor
of Women
ALLEGE MOVIES ARE IMMORAL
All Naughty Indulgers Will Now
Please Get on the Earth

Jazz dancing and jazz music have
been deliberately inat:gurated over
the entire United States by "cheap
musicians" and "dreamers" Of the
larger cities with the chief objects of
breaking down the moral standards
Of the nations women and furthering
free love in America.
North Dakota is being swamped
with motion pictures Of low moral
standard, encouraging free love and
immortality.
These charges were made by
speakers at an open forum in Valley
City Sunday evening at the closing
session Of the third annual state con-
vention of the Young Mems Christian
association.
The outburst of opposition against
these alleged wrongs came when Rev.
w. c. Lyon, Valley City pastor, came
to the Y. M. c. A. meeting after de-
livering "four-minute" address at
Valley City movie house Saturday
evening. He charged that pictures of
low moral nature were being dis
played in all rural sections of the
state and that jazz dancing had gain
ed strong foothold in North Dakota.
M. H. Bickham of Chicago, who had
charge Of the Y. M. C. A. work at the
Great Lakes and in France during the
war, declared that jazz music anl
Cancing had developed to an almost
unbelievable stage in Chicago; that it
had originated on the Eighteenth anG
Twenty-second street districts of Chi
cago-among the worst class of peo-
pie in the city-and that "jazz and
immoral dancing" had been fostered
by those who wished to corrupt the
morals of the girls and young women
Of the nation. Others at the conven-
tion expressed their opposition to the
continuation of such conditions.
Valley City is evidently fighting for
"place in the sun"

very enjoyable time Friday evening,

house. By the excellent management
Of Mrs. Axel Harrsen covers were laid
for sixty-two. And then there were
quite number at the second table.
Judging from what was taken to the
kitchen after all were through, it was
a persons own fault if they did not
get their fill Of good things to eat.
What next? The men said it was a
secret and did not want the women
to hear, for then it would be no Sc
cret. But the women guessed this
much-The men are to serve supper
next time, because they heard some
say, "bring cornmeal for mush, or
some fapiacks." But who should
worry7 We don't. for we have too
much confidence in our men, and be-
speak this enterprise win show their

HEARING TO BE RESUMED SOON
Conference Has Agreed On All Othe
Vital Matters

No change in the reservations A.
fecting article 10 of the League Of
Nations covenant, or the Monroe doc
trine provisions Of the peace treaty
will be acceptable to the republicans,
Senator Lodge informed Senator
Hitchcock and other members Of the
informal democratic committee which
has been conferring with Senator
lodges committee in an effort to
reach compromise on the treaty.
Senator Lodges statement was for
mulated after his conference with
Senator's Borah, Idaho; johnson, Cali

opposing the treaty.
Immediately after the statement
was presented the bipartisan confer
ence adjourned, Senator Hitchcock re-
firing, for conference. They will

Senator Hitchcock issued this
statement:
''When the conference assembled
Senator Lodge advised the senator's
present that he had been called into
meeting by certain republican SEN
ators for that very reason had not
been able to attend the last confer
ence Friday. He regretted to say that
ne found it impossible to resume the
conference for a compromise except
upon the understanding that no
change shall be made in the reserva-
tion on article 10 or in the Monroe
doctrine.
"The conference up to the time its
meetings were interrupted had tenta-
lively agreed upon the preamble and
all sections of the reservations ex-

A<ONs SOs AS4Vs
Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Jenkins,
Oakes, N. Oak.
Dear Friends:
Your more than welcome card came
to hand today, and as you have evinc-
ed an interest in both me and my
work, l will gladly give you the de-
sired information, for presume that
to many in the vicinity of Oakes, the
idea of Johnnie" becoming writer
has caused more or less comment.
An old and white haired family
friend was the cause Of it all. She,
who has been a public lecturer for
well onto fifty years, had maintained
a correspondence with my mother, un-
til her death; then, as she refused to
allow death to break the ties Of
friendship, l picked up the thread
that the grim harvester had so ruth
lessly broken, and continued that cor
respondence until she, too, fell by the
wayside. 1t was she who advised me
to hscome writer, and / trust that
her advice was good: Though I claim
Sidney to be my home, am practic-
ally a nomad, for my work takes me
far and near. Last year, my fourth
book, "La Vesta," took me to the
headwaters of the Peace River, in
British Columbia, and within thirty
miles of the Alaskan line. This year.
the same book has kept me in Boston,
Chelsea and New York City nearly all
summer, where I assisted in it's dram
atization, and though the book itself
is not as yet off the press, the play is
running in Providence, r. l., today.
My, third book, "The Profteer," to
me is my best work, and will soon be
on the market, and it is the one that
the president of my publishing house
in Boston warns me will get me kill
ed, for in it, the hair Of our "pro-em-
igrants" has certainly been stroked
in the wrong direction. Now my
present one is the cause of trip to
Lexington, KY, where in that vicinity
I expect to occupy some six or eight
weeks. Its title, "In the Valley of
the Shadow" had it's birth mid our
last winters trials with the flu.
So there you are. l can write the
books, and like to write them, but as
to their quality, the world will have
to be the Judge; but if it does not deal
too critically with my first two, "The
Pages of Life" and "Out of Darkness
Into Light" l think the others will
stand of their own strength. And if
you will inform me as to the book
dealers in Oakes, will see to it that
the locality will be supplied.
My sister, Annie, hears from the
Bishops, at times, and that is about
all the news we get from Oakes. An
ME has nice, large home here, and
keeps the house full Of roomers at all
times. Melvin Thurston, formerly of
Oakes, but whose home is now in Wy
oming, is stopping with US for few
days. They lived here for a time,
moving from here to Forsyth, then to
Wyoming.
With the customary and best
wishes to you all, I remain your
friend,
John M. Will.
