OAKEs TEAM MEETS HARD LUCK
Hankinson Wins from locals in S.tur.
day and Sunday Games

A black cat surely crossed the road
ahead of the Oakes base ball team
on the way to Hankinson last Satur-
day morning. Not only black cat,
but every other animal that signifies
hard luck in the minds Of the super
The boys had played from one to
three games week for the past
month without suffering single de-
feat, and they were brim full of con-
fidence when they left town. In fact
they really felt sorry for the Hank
inson boys, but later developments
showed that this sentiment was a
trifle premature to say the least.
Many local enthusiasts were pres
ent at Saturdays contest and few
took in Sundays game. Kahl pitched
a first class article Of ball Saturday
and had he been given decent support
might have won, at least the score
would have looked much d;.~rerent.
Hart was on the mound FOR the To-
Gals Sunday and had things pretty
much his own way during the last half
of the game, but the Hankinsonites
hit at opportune times during the
early innings and were helped by er-
rors.
The boys were pretty much disgust
ed and discouraged when they reached
home Sunday night, but they have
thrown off this feeling and are now
ready for all comers.
Tomorrow afternoon Edgeley is
coming over to try conclusions with
the Oakes athletes, and a game is
scheduled at Cogswell Sunday.
The ball team is all right. Just
come out and give the players all the
you can and they'll
win majority Of their games.

provements as they go. These farms
will be visited in the order in which
they are named: J. H. Killer, Malm-
berg Bros, N. ]. Nelson, H. X. Halde-
man, John G. Nelson, Alex Ain, T. ].

Dathe, E. H. Heine, Keystone Live
stock Farm, Bert Peek, Hafey Ranch,
Fred Moore, Dell Moore, A. S. Mar
shall, Log Cabin Farm.
The arrangements for these tours
are being made by A. E. Adams, coun-
ty agent Of Dickey county. He an
nounces that he has secured Max Nor
gan, livestock specialist from the
North Dakota Agricultural college, to
give talk on some phase Of livestock
production at some point on the tour.
Mr.. Morgan was formerly county
agent Of Morton county, where he
built up a strong reputation through
his work on tho famous New Salem
and Flasher dairy breeding circuits.
He has a broad experience with live
stock and will have a message that
will be Of interest to those who come.
All farmers and their wives are in
vited and those interested in farm i'm
provements are urged to make at least
one Of the trips.
Sometimes the best way to show
how to do thing is to tell how it
should not be done. Then the way
to succeed will be clearly evident.
With this in view West Virginia
farmer gives some rules on how to
succeed with cows, copy of which
has just appeared in the weekly news
letter published by the United States
department Of agriculture. The farm
er-humorist says: "Don't weigh your
milk, for then you might have to fig
ure and think. Feed the cows tim
othy hay, it is good for race horses.
Cow testing associations are needless;
they show how to save and know.
Keep the barn hot-cows are like
wood chucks. Don't have many win
dows in the barn; the hired man might
look out. Keep the water ice cold;
shivering gives the cows exercise.
Avoid heavy mixers; they consume
too much valuable time. When cows
get sick, employ a quack veterinar-
! ian, you get him cheaper"
The cow, especially the heifer,
should be milked dry at each milking.
If little milk is left each time the
milk flow will decrease. If this is
done with heifer, she will never give
the milk that she would if MIXED dry.
The milk drawn last is always richer
in butterfat than that drawn first.
This means that thorough milking will
give a richer milk than will partial
| milking.

LOSING SIDE PAYS THE BILL
Commercial Club Room is Scene Of
Festivities

Seventy or eighty members of the
Oakes Gun club gathered at the Com.
merciaf club rooms Tuesday evening
at 6:30 o'clock to partake Of a ban
quet served by the Rebekah ladies'.
Several weeks ago the club was di-
vided into two camps for the purpose
OF holding competitive crow shoot
extending over period Of month,
the losing side to pay for big feed.
DIR. w. r. Owen and P. ]. Aasen
were chosen captains Of the respective
sides and the contest was a desper-
ate affair. The doctor endeavored to
persuade his men that the crows
should be killed in humane manner,
such as catching them with fish
hook. He advocated gouging their
eyes out with spade and separating
each crow into it's COMPONENT parts
in the manner approved by the best
surgeons. Ny. Aasen wasn't so par
ticular what method was used, so long
as the hunters kept in mind the main
idea-killing the most birds and win
ming that supper.
When the final returns were in it
was found that about 500 crows had
met their Waterloo and that the side
headed by Mr.. Aasen had brought in
considerably more than half this num-
Der, thereby winning the contest by
a comfortable margin.
Some of the boys introduced orig
inal methods, to say the least, in their
endeavors to get the most crows.
Bunk Roberts wrote to Iowa, telling a
friend that they were engaged in a
big shoot up here and asking him to
send up few hundred crows, strictly
on the Q. T., Of course. Apparently
only part of the idea soaked into the
friends Uranium, because he sent up
bunch of crows feet, when only the
heads were to be counted. Bunk was
out little money for the express and
as there is very little meat on crows
foot he couldn't have them served la
mode, so the experiment turned out
to be quite fizzle.
Joe Bunday played a mean trick on
the crow he got, but he insists that
the only way to get 'em is to be smart
er than they are. At that, Joe would
have been sskunked" if his better half
hadn't aided and abetted him in the
scheme. Ask him about it.
Mayor Knox is getting too heavy to
tramp the country Juggling a gun in
search of such small game, SO he tried
running them down with his car. He
offered several heads in support of his
contention that you can get 'em if you
stick to it, but we suspect he palmed
off a few blackbirds on the official
score keeper.
If you'd tell any of the boys they
are bum sports they'd knock you sor a
"ghoul" as Lardner says, but every
last one of them spent many a Sleep
less night trying to think up some
scheme that would produce dead crows
with minimum Of hunting.
This brings US down to the feed, and
as there was no chance Of any "crow-
hopping" in this, the affair passed off
without any casualties. The ladies'
served splendid banquet. If you've
ever been present at supper put on
by any Oakes ladies' organization you

not too much, and the weather for the
most part has been ideal. This is re-
flected in the appearance of the fields
Of small grain and corn, which abso-
lutely could not look better under any
circumstances. The Iowa farmer who
thinks this is too far north to raise
corn would be disillusioned once he
hoped into his jitney and looked
things over.
Every field of wheat or other small
grain is as thick as the hair on New
Foundland dog, and if nothing serious
happens we are due for the most
bountiful harvest that ever made
farmer smile. Most of the rye will
be ready for the binder in couple of
weeks, while many fields Of wheat are
beginning to head out and it will not
be long before the harvest is on. Corn
will be ready to clay by" soon after
the glorious Fourth, and feed crops
are looming up like million dollars.
OF course, crops always look good
at this time Of year, but this season
they show up exceptionally well. Up
to now very little hail damage has
been done, and we have heard nothing
OF rust or grasshoppers.
f'present prospects are fulfilled at
threshing time our farmers will have
plenty Of money, which means that
the rest Of us will quit thinking about
life in the poor house and everybody
will be happy. Land in this country,
which right now is priced lower than
anywhere else in the northwest, will
take big jump in value, and farmers
from the south and east will come
here in droves, eager to buy it.
So just now we will have to par
don the farmers for wearing their
happy smiles, and let US hope with all
our might that nothing happens be-
tween now and harvest to cause them
to be replaced by frowns.

NEW YORK MARKET

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Stock trad ing today presented two divergent as- poets. Rails were active and strong at gross advances of one to three points, while numerous industrials and specialties irregularly extended great losses. The movement in trans portations had it's inception in the announcement that the United States railway labor board had decided on a downward revision of wages. effec- tive July 1.
 Junior or secondary issues benefit ted almost as much as the more sea soned or dividend paying shares. Con- spicuous features of the rise, how ever, inconpassed the representative grangers, transcontinentals and coal CTS, the southern systems also show ing marked improvement.
 Heaviness of industrials was due mainly to doubt respecting the action of the Republic Iron and Steel direc- tors on the quarterly dividend.
 Announcement of the absolute omis- sion came immediately after the end of the session, but Republic closed un- changed.
