FLOWER SHOW IS BIG SUCCESS
Civic Leagues Annual Event il Well
Patronized

The third annual flower show, an
innovation inaugurated by the Oakes
Civic league, was held Saturday after
noon Of last week in the building now
occupied by the Oakes Plumbing &
Heating Co. Through the courtesy Of
the company the building was turned
over to the flower committee Of the
Civic league and was soon transform
ed into veritable bower Of flowers Of
every hue, arranged in artistic bou-
quets Of various shapes and sizes.
Over seventy entries were made.
First prize was awarded to Mrs.
Chris Peterson and second prize to
Mrs. B. W. slocum who, according to
the decision Of the judges had the
most artistically arranged bouquets.
Ice cream and cake was served dur
ing the afternoon and evening and
during the supper hour palatable
meal furnished by the good cooks Of
the Civic league was enjoyed by the
crowd.
The net receipts amounted to over
seventy dollars, and it is hoped that
the flower show has come. to stay.

GOOD NEWS TO SUGAR USERS
Chicago Man Says Price will Be 10
and IL Cents in January

People who use sugar, and that
means all Of us, can see q glimmer Of
hope in the statement Of Russell Poole,
secretary Of. the Chicago high cost Of
living committee, that if consumers
win begin now to use as little sugar
as they can get along with, we will be
able to buy it as low as 10 or II cents
per pound by the first of the year.
Mr.. Poole said further that there is
no shortage Of sugar now and will not
be for at least another year, as the
Cuban crop will amount to 100000
tons, or three times that Of 1914.
The years sugar crop is from thirty
to forty per cent greater than has ev-
er before been produced.
It is hinted that sugar would not
cost as much as it does now If it had
not been cornered by dealers in op-
tions.
No matter how high the price of
this commodity, the local dealers do
not make any money on its sale.
Oakes firms right now are selling it
for less than it cost them in order to
protect consumers.
Sugar always has been considered
staple, and merchants never figured
on large profit at any time.
Greater production may help reduce
the high cost Of living, but we'll never
be able to buy merchandise of certain
kinds at its real worth until the gam
blerS are eliminated,

Debs Scores Old Parties

The first Of a series of statements
which will replace speeches in the
campaign Of Eugene v. Debs, social
ist nominee for president, now con-
fined in Atlanta penitentiary, was is
sued last Monday by socialist national
headquarters.
Mr.. Debs branded the league Of ma
tions controversy dishonest issue"
and announced the livest question be-
fore the American people was the coal
shortage. He declared that while q
shortage Of cars was making it inn
possible to meet the demands for coal,
"Mr. Wilson has made the special aris-
tocracy Of Poland crush out the only
genuine democratic government on the
face Of the EARTH"
Besides denouncing the republican
and democratic parties, bitterly at-
tacking President Wilson and Samuel
Gompers, and branding the farmer
labor party ~ one-campaign organ
ization that will never survive this
years battle, Mr.. Debs, in Mondays
interview, dwelt on the recent railroad
strike and compared the so-called out
law strikers to the American railway
union men whom he led in the zone

BINDER TwINE MUCH CHEAPER
Farmers are Paying Considerably
Less Than Last Year

With the price Of practically every
other article boosted, binder twinc
stands almost alone with its sensa-
tional drop in price this season.
Binder twine selling at from g to
% cents last season sells for II to
% cents this year, the saving averag-
ing around s or 6 cents per pound.
The total saving to the farmers: Of
North Dakota is estimated between
one and half and one and q quar-
ter million dollars. Ia
The reason for the drop, according
to Fargo man, is the breaking Of
the sisal trust in Yucatan by the Unit.
ed States government. Ninety pei
cent Of good binder twine used ID
made Of sisal fibre grown in Yucatan
No other country is climatically
adapted to raise this fibre 80 success.

Deaes Supreme Court

Frank NJ. Thompson, attorney gen.
eral Of Tennessee, announces that Gov.
A. II. Roberts has certified Tennes-
sees ratification Of the suffrage am
endment, sending the certification to
the secretary Of state by mail.
The announcement was made after
Chief Justice Lansden Of the state su-
preme court on petition Of the attor-
ney general had granted a writ Of
certiorari and supersedeas virtually
taking proceedings in the injunction
brought to prevent certification out Of
the hands Of Judge Langford in chan
Gerry court. Justice Lansden ordered
all records in the case before the su-
preme court for review.
The Tennessee Judges might - well
bow to the inevitable and let the Ia.
dies vote. It will save time.

FORCED TO RAISE OUR RATES
Present Conditions Make It Impossibl.
T. to Maintain Old Price List

Beginning with the Sept. 2nd issue.
advertising rates will be increased
from Is and 20 cents per single col
umn inch to 20 and 25 cents. A gen.
eral increase in everything we sell
will also go into effect on Sept. /. We
had to come to it, much az we dislike
to. In conversation with number Of
country publishers, we find that our
present prices are from 40 to 60 per
cent lower than elsewhere, which
means that we have not kept up with
the times. We thought we could pay
the present high prices for labor and
material, stand a 100 per cent increase
in overhead and still turn out printing
at the 1916 price, but it cannot be
done. Business men in all lines are
obliged to go up with the market, 20
this change should not require any
great amount Of explanation. Adver-
tisers who agree to use minimum Of
600 inches Of space in a year will be
charged 20 cents per single column
inch, while those who use less will be
enlarged Is cents. These rates are al.
ready in effect practically every place
except Oakes.
A newspaper which is not making
its owners a living profit is not a good
institution to have in any city, and we
feel certain that Oakes advertisers
will see the necessity of increased
rates If we are to continue in business
On and after September / the sub
scription rate will be raised from $500
to $3.50. As special inducement we
will accept subscriptions all next week
and Monday and Tuesday Of the fol-
lowing week at $500, allowing you to
pay as far in advance as you wish
This gives our readers a few days eoi
grace and foreign subscribers will
thus be able to take advantage Of the
offer as well as residents.

Germans Up to Old Tricks

Germany has shipped supplies and
ammunition to Soviet Russia, accord.
ing to information recently received
which also states that Leon Trotzky
visited east Prussia, in spite Of official
denials from Moscow.
The retreat Of the Bolsheviki arm.
les from the gates Of Warsaw may be
attributed to the fact that they lack.
ed ammunition. Trotzky foresaw the
need Of the armies during the frantic
effort made to capture the Polish cap.
ital and made his plans accordingly
but was too late. He crossed into
Germany and reached an agreement
by which he could obtain ammunition
The ammunition had been paid for
in part, out Of the Soviet stjewel fund
which includes the crown jewels. II
was the intention Of the Bolsheviki to
reserve this fund solely for propagan.
da purposes in the east, but Germany
insisted upon cash payment. The sec.
ond object Of Trotzky's visit to east
Prussia was to prevent munitions be.
ing sent to Poland, and to accomplish
this result he employed Germans al

fund. "a large traffic in arms tool

SHOULD NOT
ENTER LEAGUE
Article X is Absolute Promise to G,
to War, Says Minnesota
THINKS G. o. P. SAVED NATION
Is Convinced that Prohibition is /.
Great Step

Frank B. Kellogg, junior senator
from Minnesota, has returned from a
tour in Europe convinced that Amer
lea has been wise in not joining. the
League Of Nations with all the obli-
cations involved.
"Article K" he declared, els an alb
solute promise to go to war. The
League Of Nations and all the indi-
vidual nations have abandoned it.
They have violated their agreement.
It is the consensus Of opinion in Eng
land and France that the so-called
military alliance Of Article x is en-
tirely impracticable. There is not the
slightest doubt that the reservation
adopted by the republican senate
would have been accepted by every
member nation ratifying the treaty"
Had the United States ratified the
treaty without reservations, he point
ed out, we today would be sending an
army to help Poland, or else violating
our obligation.
The greatest desire Of foreign peo-
pies, said Senator Kellogg, seems to
be "that we should have been stuck
on the fly paper Of European poll
tics"
His tour convinced Senator Kellogg
Of the wisdom Of prohibition. II come
back to America" he said, "more con-
firmed than ever in my opinion that
prohibition was the greatest step Am
erica ever took for efficiency, to say
nothing Of the moral side Of the ques-
tion. Drink is the one great STUN
bling block to efficiency in Europe,
where drunkenness has greatly in
creased since the war. As to light
wines and beer, ! am for prohibition
absolutely"
He believes the Irish question will
be ironed out.
If anything is needed to convince
one that the republican senate was
wise in refusing to ratify the league
and the treaty without reservations,
. trip to Europe will do it.
81 am more than ever convinced
that the republicans saved the coun-
try from q calamity. II We had rati-
fled the treaty without reservations,
with Article K in force guaranteeing
the territorial integrity and political
independence Of all members Of the
league, we would today be either vio-
lating our treaty or sending troops
and money to protect Poland in its
war with Russia, and before this war
ID over quite likely We would be called
upon to send troops and money TO pro.
tect other border states"
