CARPENrIER SHOWS HIS
 REMARKABLE DEFENSIVE WORK

Manhasset, June s,-In four rounds of sparring this afternoon Georges Carpen- tier tried out his defensive tactics, and neither Italian Joe Cans nor Paul Journee was able to touch his smiling face.
 Throughout the four rounds Carpenter was at top speed and was working his left more than usual. Cans was the first to enter the ring against him and the little Brooklyn fighter gave Georges a good workout. Jouynee, who in other sparring sessions with Georges apparently was able to jab him at will, yielded his left at the air today.
 Georges spent an hour in the gymnasi- um and then went for an automobile ride He was on the road for two hours this morning. He said his wind was improv- ing and he did not feel as fatigued as he did when he first started training. Tomorrow Carpenter will appear for newspzpermen and probably will work
 with Joe Jeannette, who went down under | the chRllenger's right last Monday.

w. C. Gordinier browns

Word was received Monday morn
ing of the death Of w. G. Gordinier
Of Edgar, Mont, who was drowned
Sunday while in charge Of party Of
boy scouts. It is thought that the
victim was taken suddenly with
cramps, being unable to help himself,
and died before he could be rescued.
Mr.. Gordinier is brother Of our
townsman, C. L. Gordinier, and will
be remembered by many Oakes peo-
pie, as he was at one time cashier and
operator at the local 500 depot. Just
recently he spent some time here Wis
iting relatives. He was born at Adair,
Iowa, May II, 1887, being "a years,
8 months and II days old at the time
Of his death. He moved from Oakes
to Edgar, Mont, several years ago and
has since held the position of agent
with the Burlington and Northern Pa
cific railroads. He was united in mar
riage to Lucette Matheny at Redfeld,
S. D., in 1910. Two children, Evelyn
and Clifton, came to bless this union,
both Of whom, together with the grief.
stricken wife. survive. Other rela-
tives are his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
S. L. Gordinier of DeSmet, S. d.; four
brothers, F. F. Gordinier of Rosholt,
s. D., C. ]. and Melvin Gordinier Of
DeSmet and C. L. Gordinier Of Oakes;
and two sisters, Mrs. L. F. Wadding-
ton Of Rosholt. s. D., and Mrs. L. h.
Watson Of DeSmet. The remains, ac-
companied by F. F. and C. L. Cor.

Mr.. Marshall. for over twenty years,
has found several Of. the huge stones
from which. Mrs. Marshall will make
her selection. One side will be faced
and marked simply with Mr.. Mar
shalls name and the date Of his
death. As the deceased had neglect
ed during his life time to select q site
in the cemetery, Mrs. Marshall chose
a spot on top Of the hill overlooking
the country to the east and south,
where Mr.. Marshall had roamed years
ago in charge Of his stock, and where
he spent some Of the happiest years
Of his life.
Thomas Frank Marshall was born
in Hannibal, Mo-, on March 2, 1854,
his parents being George w. and
Sarah E. (Heflebower) Marshall. The
father was a native Of Kentucky and
Of Scotch Irish descent, while the
mother was born in Virginia Of Dutch
parents. He was educated in the
state normal school at Platteville,
Wis.,, where he pursued special cours-
es in mathematics and surveying.
Three months prior to The time Of his
graduation his health failed and, hav-
ing exhausted his funds, he left school.
Forty years later the board Of regents
conferred upon him his diploma, call
ing him to the school on the occasion.
Mr.. Marshall left Platteville in
March, 1873, reaching Yankton, Dako-
ia Territory, shortly afterward abso-
lutely without money and with no very
definite idea as to what he intended
to do. His first job was as section
hand at $1.25 a day. After working
at this for few weeks he secured
position as chain carrier with sur
veying crew. The following year he
was successful in getting a govern
ment surveying contract himself and
followed the life Of a surveyor inter-
mittently for many years. Dame For
tune having at last deigned to smile
upon the struggling young man, he
established grocery business in
Yankton, conducting it in connection
with the work Of surveying and other
interests which developed later.
In 1888 he moved to Columbia, 8. D.,
his government survey work taking
him to that locality, and while there

In company with H. E. Dady, the

ems farm Sunday afternoon to look
the place over. We had heard that
it was one Of the best kept farms in
Dickey county and since seeing it we
are convinced that the report is alb

inspecting however, because we soon
became lost in the strawberry patch.

LEGION PICNIC AT FULLERTON
Wind and Dust Keep Many People
from Attending

The Legion picnic held in the Stokes
grove at Fullerton last Sunday, which
had been planned on somewhat
elaborate scale by those in charge,
did not come quite up to the hopes
and expectations of the boys because
the weather man picked that day to
pull off wind and dust storm which
made it decidedly unpleasant for ev-
erybody. But little drawbacks like
unfavorable weather conditions do not
daunt the spirit Of the boys who went
through hell in France, so the pro-
gram was pulled off as per schedule.
Church services were conducted at
II O'Clock in charge of Rev.. Henry
Lewis. From IL to the assemblage
parked on the lawn and partook Of
picnic lunches which had been brought
along for the occasion, after which
the Fullerton band discoursed pleas
ing brand of music for half an hour.
Jack Williams, department adjutant,
and Vim. T. Kroll, state war risk Of
ficer, delivered interesting talks on
the work and aims of the Legion.
/ Relay, sack, potato and foot races
occupied another half hour, and then
the crowd repaired to the base ball
diamond, where members Of the Ell
lendale and Guelph posts endeavored
to trim the Oakes and Fullerton bunch.
AS sort Of get-together meeting
the picnic was a decided success and
those who made the trip feel that they
were well repaid for the time spent.
Long live the American Legion-and
let's have more picnics.

DRAW TO CLOSE
Oakes Public Schools Will Open Sept.
12---Two Changes in Personnel
of Teachers
wYTTENBACH COMES AS COACH
Grade Students from Other Districts
Must Pay Tuition

The boys and girls of Oakes are
beginning to watch the calendar with
doleful eyes, for the vacation days arc
numbered and school will soon be
starting again. AS has been CUSTOM
ary for number of years, the Oakes
city schools will open the second week
in September. This year Sept. 12 will
be the opening date.
There will be the usual conditional
exams on Saturday, the 10th, for those
H. S. students who fell just a tri1e
short Of making the grade last spring.
All classes will meet on the 18th.
The corps of teachers will be almost
the same as that Of last year. In the
high school the only change that has
been definitely announced is the one
occasioned by the decision of Mr.. De
La Hunt to forsake the school room
for the real estate business at the
close Of school in June. His place
will be filled by Frank E. Wytten-
bach Of Valley City.
Mr.. Wyttenbach is graduate Of
the Valley City high school and of the
U. of North Dakota, where his major
work was taken in the school of COM
merce. During his high school and
college careers he has participated in
all the branches Of athletics, and he
comes with high recommendations ~
to his coaching ability. He has spent
this summer at the university doing
post graduate work in professional
teaching courses and in athletic coach
ing, 80 he comes to Oakes with all tho
latest ideas and methods in his line,
hot off the griddle.
In the grades the only new teacher
will be Miss Helen Reardon, who has
for several years been teaching in the
Ashley schools. She takes hte place
Of Miss Clara Stafsburg, who is to
teach in Glendale this year. Miss
Ruth Nichols also resigned at the
close Of the last school year, but the
school authorities decided it would be.
impossible to fill her place. Instead,
the grades will be reorganized in such
way as to make it possible for eight
teachers to handle the work, instead
of nine.
There have been some inquiries in
regard to the operation Of the new
high school tuition law. This does
not affect the individual pupil in any
manner. At the close Of the school
year this district will collect from tho
pupils home. district the amount Of
the tuition as provided by law. The
whole transaction is between the
school officers Of the two districts.
As far as the pupil is concerned, ev-
erything is just as it always has been.
In the grades, however, there is
change in the amount and manner Of
collecting the tuition. The board Of
education has decided to charge tut
tion fee Of $40 month in the grades
for pupils from outside the Oakes
special district. This is what it costs
us to educate pupil in the grades.
Furthermore, this tuition must be paid
in advance, or such pupil cannot be
enrolled or continued in work in the
first eight grades Of the Oakes public
schools.

POTATO GROWERS MEET HERE
Organization Expects to Be Even More
Successful Than Last Year

Monday evening a meeting Of po-
tato growers from the country sur
rounding Oakes gathered in the bank
ing rooms Of the secretary, C. E.
Roney, at the call Of County Agent
Adams, to discuss the immediate mar
keting problems Of the Oakes Potato
Growers association. w. r. Porter,
agent in marketing from: the Agri-
cultural college. at Fargo, told the
SI1wers about the success Of the Min
nesota Potato exchange last year, it's
first season. The exchange is a CO.
operative group marketing organiza-
ton consisting Of over one hundred
local associations, Of which the Cakes
unit is one, designed. to market the
growers potatoes to the best advan-
tage, treating every grower alike,
whether large or small, and getting
all the potatoes will bring in the high
est markets Of the United States, less
the cost Of doing business. Last year
four cars of potatoes were marketed
by the local association, and this year
the number. will be between twenty
and twenty-five. Last year the ex-
change, marketed forty-eight train
loads Of potatoes, consisting Of fifty
cars each, or enough cars to fill all
the track from Oakes to LaMoure.
The local growers decided to get an
elevator, picking table and an cleo
trio motor to drive this machinery
and their grader, so that when a
grower comes in with load of po-
tatoes he will dump them in the ele-
vator hopper and the potatoes will
automatically travel up over the grad
er and picking table and into the
sacks, where 120 pounds Of U. s. No. 1
or No. 2 potatoes will be sewed up,
ready to load on the car. The grower
will have no more work with the po-
tatoes after he brings them in than
he would when he brings load of
wheat to the elevator.
It was further explained that the
best way to handle potatoes in the
field is to pick into half-bushel wire
baskets and dump into sacks, putting
a bushel in each sack. Such sacks
are very easily loaded onto wagons in
the field and can be very readily
dumped into the elevator hopper with
out any danger Of bruising.
