WOOL GROWERS MEET MAY is
Arrangements to Be Made for Pooling
This Years Crop

President Walter Haas has called
q meeting of the wool growers Of
Dickey county for May 16 at $3.50
p. M, at Fullerton. Arrangements
will be made at this years meeting
to pool this years crop Of wool. Some
plan for the procuring Of shearers and
fixing standardized price for their
services will also be made at this
meeting.
Although the wool growers formed
their organization at most inoppor-
tune time, most of the members are
we'll satisfied with the disposition of
last years crop. Mr.. Cofell, one of
the directors Of the county and state
federations, made this statement: eff
the growers had not pooled their wool
they would not have been able to OBJ
tain one cent for it." AS it is over
half of the wool pooled has been sold
and returns will be made as soon as
the remainder is disposed of. When
one travels about the county and sees
the wool that was not pooled still in
the hands Of the men who raised it
because there has been no market for
it, he appreciates the advantage of the
pool.
This meeting is open to all the sheep
owners Of the county whether they
are members of the association or
not. If they pool their wool their
membership fee is deducted from the
returns from the sale Of the wool. A
large attendance is expected as many
men are interested in the activities
Of the association.

Fred D. Mccartney, who left for
Rochester, Minn., two weeks ago, was
operated upon at the hospital last
week Wednesday and at last reports
was getting along as we'll as could be
expected, considering the seriousness
Of the case. The surgeons found an
abscess at the opening of the stom-
ach, and removed the gall bladder and
appendix. Mr.. Mccartney has been
in delicate health for long time and
it is sincerely hoped that the opera
tion will permit him to return to his
normal, robust self.

THE SHRIQERS
ARE COMING
Cakes Will Entertain Over Two Hun
dred Visiting Members of
Mystic Order
TO REMAIN HERE OVER NIGHT
Splendid Program and Dance Will Be
Given at Legion Pavilion

This city will appear in holiday at
tire Friday evening Of this week, at
which time the Fargo Shriners, to
the number Of about two hundred, are
scheduled to appear. The special train
will arrive promptly at 6 o'clock and
shortly thereafter things will begin
to happen. It isn't every city the
size of Oakes that is given the oppor-
tunity of entertaining such a distin-
.guished party of guests and our peo-
pie plan to put their best foot for
ward.
The local Shrine club committee
has made extensive preparations for
the reception of the visitors and the
members have worked like Trojans
for the past two weeks in order that
nothing may be left undone to make
the occasion a most fitting one. Mer-
chants have agreed to keep their bus
mess houses open until 1880 o'clock
on that evening so the Shriners may
be given an opportunity to give the
city the once over, and we do not ex-
pect to suffer by comparison with
other places. Automobiles will be at
the disposal of the visitors during
their stay here.
Immediately after the special ar
rives the company will march from
the 500 depot to the city hall, thence
east two blocks, north one block, west
three blocks, south one block, east one
block, north one block, stopping at
the roped-off district on Union street.
This will be followed by the grand
entry, welcome, response, chanters,
drum and bugle corps, and just be-
fore supper the famous drill will be
given by the patrol. A banquet will
be served the Shriners in the base
ment of the Presbyterian church i'm
mediately after the drill.
After the banquet short program
will be given at the Legion pavilion,
beginning promptly at o'clock, con-
sisting of music by the chanters, a
solo by Muuzinita Stephens, bag pipes,
a duet by Stephens and Orr, and a
number by the dancing girls. The
floor will then be cleared and dancing
indulged in until midnight, music to
be provided by the full brass band.
The Shrine party will remain in
Cakes over night, leaving at 6 O'Clock
Saturday morning for Cogswell, For

WILL CELEBRATE
FOURTH OF JULY
Members of American Legion to BE
in Complete Charge of All
Details
PLAN TO SHOW US A GOOD TIME
Base Ball Situation Still Somewhat
in the Air

At the Tuesday meeting Of the
Commercial club the proposition of
celebrating the Fourth of July came
up for consideration and was thor
oughly discussed from all angles. It
seems that this year the local Legion
boys are desirous of having charge
of all arrangements and as no other
Organization has expressed a willing
ness to shoulder the responsibility the
club members were willing to let the
boys go to it.
The first requirement is the raising
Of $500, and the club went on record
as being willing to give the Legion
all the moral support possible and
authorized the circulation of a petit
tion having for its object the financ-
ing of such celebration. The Legion
boys think that with this compara-
lively small amount they will be able
to put on a celebration at least as
good as the one held last year, pos
sibly better. The one last year
brought great many visitors to
town and everybody had a grand
time, though no money was made by
any of the organizations back Of it.
The base ball question, which has
been hanging fire for the last two
months, again showed up and the
president suggested that the club
make final disposition of the propo-
sition, one way or another. Upon
motion made and seconded, the chair
was authorized to appoint soliciting
committee, whose duty it will be to
raise $1,000, if possible. Messrs. Re-
ko, Scott and Roberts were appointed
to circulate both the celebration and
base ball petitions, and they will le-
port progress next Tuesday noon.
There has been considerable oppo-
sition to the proposition of financing
a base ball team this year, because
Of the business situation. Several
club members have been in favor of
q team of semi-professionals which
would cost about $4,000 month, and
expressed themselves as believing
that we should either have the best
brand of base ball obtainable, or fore
go it altogether. Others would rath-
er have a mediocre team than none,
feeling that some sort of entertain
ment should be provided during the
summer. The amount of financial
encouragement given the committee
will doubtless determine whether or
not we are to have team.
Contributions are being asked for
one thing after another practically all
the time, and the business men feel
that the drain on their resources is
becoming almost unbearable. This is
undoubtedly true, but if the town isn't
to become "ossified" we must be will
ing to jar loose from as much money
as can be spared for these various
enterprises. A liberal measure of
reason applied to these projects would
help relieve the situation considerably.
Conditions at the present time do not
warrant the lavish expenditure of
money for any purpose. But if we
go at these things in sensible man.
ner and keep the expense down to a
minimum, the strain will not be so
noticeable.

Kill the Grasshoppers

Early spring plowing roadsldes,
fencerows and headlands is the cheap
est method Of controlling grasshop-
pers, says Stewart Lockwood, extern
sion entomologist at the Agricultural
college, who warns residents of the
state to keep a sharp lookout for these
destructive pests. He also advocates
the raising Of more turkeys, as they
eat more grasshopers than any other
barnyard bird. A large percentage
of the hoppers hatch each year from
these roadsides, fencerows and head
lands. Mr.. Lockwood asks residents
of the state to watch the roadsides for
hoppers the latter part Of May and
the first part Of June, and notify the
county agent as soon as they appear.

What ls Christianity?

Christianity is just what the Bible
says it is, and what the Sermon on the
Mount indicates. While 1t excludes
drunkenness and all the crimes men-
toned in the commandments, It also
eradicates grouchiness. selfishness,
brutality, coarseness and similar
faults. Christianity is q grace that
cannot be beaten into q child with a
club, injected into a youth with a
hypodermic needle, or legislated into a
grownup by lsw. It's grace that
must come from God himself; and no
human is great enough to generate 1t
for himself. The best way to inculate
It in others is to set a shining example,
rather than trying to force 1t down
their throats.-Rolfe Is. d. l.-rnw.

President Wilson, President-elect
Harding and Mrs. Harding and MRS.
Wilson left the White House at 1896
for the Capitol.
There was a whir Of running mo
tors and the little procession moved
swiftly down the winding pathway
out of the mansion grounds and into
broad Pennsylvania avenue. Crowds
lined the avenue and gave cheer as
the motors swung into the city. Fol-
some, the broken, retiring President
was the cynosure of eyes; for others
it was the new President who held
their interest.
President Wilson walked from the
White House unaided, but as he
reached the steps leading to the mo
tor car, he stopped for brief instant
and turned about, looking into the
house.
From an upper window Of the White
House, Miss Margaret Wilson watched
her father drive away and waved tt
him as the car left the White House
grounds.
AS the procession proceeded, DR.
Harding, father OF the President-elect
fell into the line, riding in a car witt
several companions. Soldiers on
guard recognized him and came te
strict attention and then saluted.
The Presidential party reached the
Capitol at Ills A. NJ, preceded by
three troops of cavalry, moving at
brisk trot. The streets around the
Capitol were comfortably filled. The
cavalrymen rode with drawn sabers
and their standards streamed in the
stiff breeze.

in the inaugural ceremonies ended
