F. JARVIS wEDs MISS WHITMAN
Romance eliminates in Happy Mar
riage January IL

On Thursday evening, January IL,
Frank Jarvis boarded the east bound
500 passenger, headed for an un-
known destination. That is, Franks
friends did not know where he was
going-but he did. He is not given to
offering advance information con-
corning his personal affairs, and this
tInae he kept his plans locked in the
innermost recesses of his heart.
1t finally leaked out, however, that
Mr.. Jarvis was bound for Winslow,
Indiana, where on January IL he was
united in marriage to Miss Eta Whit
man, the ceremony taking place at
the brides home and being performed
by Rev. Hale, pastor of the Methodist
church.
Before leaving Winslow, the newly
weds were given a farewell reception
by friends of the bride, who is we'll
known and very popular in her home
city.
They arrived in Oakes last Friday
morning, and were smiling to them
selves over having kept the happy
event a secret insofar as Oakes peo-
pie were concerned. But 7. H. Fer
ber and w. T. Wig happened to be
on the same train and they were able
to ferret out the truth and let the cat
out of the bag. Accordingly recep-
tion was planned and given that
evening at the home Of Mrs. Hattie
Craig by the Methodist society and
other friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jarvis have gone to
housekeeping in the residence owned
by the groom on Third street, where
they are now receiving the congrat-
ulations and best wishes Of our
people.

MEET AT MONANGO
Large Delegation Gathers to Discuss
Good Roads for County

The Oakes commercial club has TAX
en- the initiatory in the matter Of Sc
curing better highways for the north
half Of the county and considerable
interest has been stirred up as far
west as Merricourt.
About ten days ago the boys met at
Fullerton, where they organized the
Dickey County Good Roads associa-
tion, starting out with membership
Of about fifty.
Tuesday Of this week meeting was
called to be held at Monango to Sc
cure the cooperation Of farmers in
the west end. A good crowd was pres
ent and after President Dickinson had
raped for order Supt. Gould arose
and gave an outline Of the work that
had already been done and his idea Of
what remains to be accomplished. He
took up the proposed new law which
provides for system Of highways all
over the state and discussed it at
some length.
Several among those present then
asked questions and offered sugges-
tions, but it remained for r. N.
Youngquist to bring the matter to q
head. He stated it as his belief that
the proposed law would never pass,
and that if it did it would not be pos
sible to dispose Of bonds for several
years, at least; which would cause
additional delay in getting started.
He felt, and his belief was shared by
the majority Of those present, that
our only hope Of getting the road west
from Oakes lies with the county COM
missioners and that our cue is now to
bring pressure to bear on that body
to change the designation Of the fed
eral road from Ludden west.
Whether this can be done remains
to be seen. A committee Of two men
from each township will be selected
to formulate plans, which will be pre-
sented to the commissioners for their
approval. Their final action will un-
doubtedly depend upon how much
strength can be mustered by advo-
Gates Of the north route.
The road west from Oakes is the
logical one, because it will serve the
majority Of the people, and if this fact
can be brought to the attention Of the
board with enough force, they may be
persuaded to change their ruling.
While there's life there's hope, and
the people in the north half of the
county propose to put forth their best
efforts to attain the desired end.

IMPLEMENT DEALERS AT FARGO
Important Issues Up Before State
Convention

The implement dealers Of North Da-
kota opened their annual convention
at Fargo yesterday and business ses-
sions are being held in Stones hall.
Exhibits will be housed in the audit
orium and armory.
Curtis l.. Mosher Of Minneapolis,
assistant cashier of the Federal Re-
serve bank, gave the address of well
come at the opening session, after the
convention was called to order by the
president, Mr.. Reynolds. This was
followed by the report of R. A. Lath-
rop, secretary of the state association.
Enhancing the Farmer" was the
subject of an address yesterday after
noon by j. j. Farley, chairman of the
executive council of the North Dako-
ia Bankers association.
The question box was in charge of
D. G. Mcintosh Of st. Thomas, N. D.,
and constituted one of the most inter-
esting and instructive parts Of the
program.
FIVE important issues of the times
are being given consideration at this
convention; namely, the financial sit
uation, the manufacturers attitude
for the year 1921, the future from the
dealers standpoint, the attitude Of the
implement trade toward the farm or
ganization movement, and the dealers
relation to the home community.
The reception and banquet for Wis
iting ladies will be held in the Com
mercial club rooms at 6 o'clock this
evening, and the reception and ban
quet for the men will take place in
the Masonic temple dining room at
the same time.
Hardware men from all over the
state are in attendance and much good
is expected to result.

BAND DANCE
AND MUSICAL
Boys Plan Interesting Program to Be
Given at Opera House on
February 3
BIG ATTENDANCE IS EXPECTED
Will Be Final Affair Before Coming
of Lenten Seaspn.a ....

Next Thursday will be red letter
day in the history of the Oakes Boost
er band. Plans have been made and
arrangements completed for a grand
musical program, followed by dancing,
to take place at the C. M. C. hall in
the evening.
The boys have been practicing early
and late, making night hideous in an
attempt to become proficient. All the
cats have left the downtown distric:
for parts unknown, apparently real
izing their inability to compete with
our expert noise producers.
After the audience has been enter
tained with long list Of special mus
ical numbers by the band, supplement
ed by vocal and instrumental selec-
tions by talent from outside the
organization, the floor will be cleared
and those who wish may dance until
the early morning hours. Music for
the dance will be provided by an or
chestra made up of band members.
If the amount of work being done
by the boys may be taken as criter-
ion, the evening should be a most en-
joyable one from all angles. Those
who appreciate good music will be
sure to take advantage Of this ippor-
tunity, and those who would rather
dance than eat may indulge to their
hearts content.
Just by way of diversion, we inter-
viewed the official statistician for pub
lication the other day and elected the
following information which may or
may not be of interest to the general
public:
Gene Naylor, who weighs something
less than 500 pounds, and Mr.. Wilson,
who also carries lot of excess bag
gage, have informed the figure expert
that in marching from the city hall
to the park, where the concerts are
sometimes given, they exert a grand
total pressure of 100000 pounds
upon the surface of the street. II
this is true, it may account for some
of the low places which may be no.
ticed here and there.
The statistician was unable to de-
termine the exact amount of strain
sustained by Genes top vest button
when he sounds high C on his from
bone, but ventured the opinion that
Gene is not troubled with tuberculosis.
During the rendition of one number,
it is estimated that MIR. Bjornstad
waves his baton 100000 times and
thinks 489 unspeakable things when
ever anybody strikes false note.
Whenever M. o. Jacobs and his cor
net go on a musical rampage it has
been noticed that Martins collar but
ton pokes a hole in the back of his
coat. Watch closely Thursday night
and see if this isn't true.
The last time the boys practiced.
Mr.. Dobbyn became confused and sub.
stituted column of figures for the
musical scale and wondered why it
took him so long to arrive at a
"ba]ancc.'
Somebody slipped one over on supt.

AUDIT REPORT
IS DELIVERED
House of Representatives Gets One
Copy, the Senate Another and
Audit Board the Third
DETAILS NOT YET MADE PUBLIC
Attorneys Employed to Examine the
49,. 1890, Docpments -s-~

Bishop, Brissman & Co.'s report Of
it's audit Of the Bank of North Da-
kota, the North Dakota Mill and Ell
evator association and the North Da-
kota Home Builders association has
been delivered to the state board of
auditors, to the house Of represent
atives and to the state senate.
No report is made on the workmen's
compensation bureau and the state
leased creamery at Werner, of which
an audit was originally ordered by the
old board of auditors.
Lack of time in which to complete
the audit, considering the vast amount
Of work necessary, is given as the
reason for not completing the exam
ination of those two departments.
Details Of the report were not made
public, being referred by the house of
representatives directly to the special
investigating committee created last
week, and of which M. o. Grangard of
Barnes county is the chairman.
The investigation committee met
late Tuesday and concluded arrange
ments with Francis Murphy of Minot
and John Sullivan of Mandan to be-
come special. counsel for the commit
tee in handling the investigation. The
report probably will be turned over
to the attorneys at once. Speaker l..
L. Twichell of the house Of represent
atives personally obtained the copy Of
the audit company's report, going to
st. Paul for that purpose and return
ing to Bismarck with the report for
the house. E. j. Grace, an account
ant with Bishop, Brissman & Co., per-
sonally delivered the reports to the
board of auditors and the state senate.
The reports covering the three de-
partments, the bank, mill and elevat-
or association and the home builders
department, required about 500 pages.
It is understood that the report as
far as the Bank of North Dakota is
concerned, covers every feature of the
banks operations, even to listing the
collateral that secures the loans made
by the state bank to individual private
banks.
Formal hearings that will be held
by the house investigation committee
will take place in the Burleigh county
court house, beginning this week.
