HARDING ASKS
BONUS DELAY
President Believes Enactment of SOL
der Legislation Would Imperil
Our Finances
WAR cR1PpLEs NOT NEGLECTED
Tax Revision Declared Needed to
Bring Normal Conditions

President Harding's address to tho
senate contains the following salient
points:
every obligation to the disabled
and dependent.
Enactment of the compensation
bill in the midst Of the struggle for
readjustment and restoration would
hinder every effort and greatly i'm
peril the financial stability Of our
country.
1T is unthinkable to reduce our tax
burdens while committing our treas
ury to an additional obligation which
ranges from $1,000, 900 to 5,OO0,-
600, 1000.
I'VE have never neglected and never
will neglect the dependent soldier.
II pledge you a most conscientious
drive to reduce government cost by
many millions.
ut would be discouraging to those
who are bending energies to save mill
lions to have congress add billions to
our burden at the very beginning.
even were there not threatened
paralysis of our treasury, would it not
be better to await the settlement Of
our foreign loans?
"The defenders of the republic
would be the last Of our citizenship
to wish its stability menaced by an
individual pittance Of peace"
A small bonus to former service
men at this time would be poor pal
liative to the millions who are faced
with unemployment, President Hard
ing declared in asking the senate to
delay action on the soldier bonus
measure.
Il is unthinlkable that the admins
tration could reduce tax burdens If tho
treasury is committed to any obliga-
ton Of from $4,000, ,00O. 900 to S5,000,-
900 900, he also said.
:, M-, gard;Gx declarl.,s t!:Sss he would
be ashamed Of the republic If 1t failed
in its duty to those who fought to
save it, but he warned that immedi-
ate action on "this menacing effort to
expend billions in gratuities will inn
peril our capacity to discharge our
first obligations to those we must not
fail to aid"
He recited the huge expenditures
already made through the war risk
bureau for disabled soldiers and prom
ised more at more auspicious time.
Three things are essential for re-
turn to normalcy, the president said:
First-Lower taxes.
Second-Refunding of the war debt.
Third-Adjustment Of foreign loans.
"The overburdening Of the treasury
now means positive disaster in the
years Immediately before u.s." Pres
ident Harding warned.
"Merest prudence calls out in warm
ing" he said. "->s'
He emphasized that congress should
proceed on the tariff and tax bills for
which the special session was called.
He read his message to the senate,
leaving the White House for the cap
itol shortly after the cabinet meeting.
Apparently the president is deter
mined to do everything in his power
to bring back normal conditions.

CITY PROUD OF BOOSTER BAND
Organization Fast becoming One Of
Rest in stats

Cakes is proud cf her band. and
jucE4ss -, sut svsn whAs laxskiE-g azste
rstatement we are aware Of the fact
that many citizens take the existence
Of the band for granted, and without
stopping to give the matter thought,
fail to realize what a really fine mus
ical organization it is, and what live,
boosting asset to the town. In many
instances the band members do not
receive the credit that ID their due for
the time, expense and hard work that
has been expended in bringing the
band to its present state Of excellence.
But we believe that majority Of our
people are truly appreciative Of the
work accomplished, and that an in
creasing number are coming to regard
this institution in it's proper light.
The Oakes Booster band was or
ganized year ago last January, and
now boasts Of a membership of twen-
ty-six. Under the direction Of B. M.
Bjornstad they have progressed rapid
ly, and are now handling the most
difficult music-and in a highly cred
table manner, too. Last year new
uniforms for all members were pur-
chased, and just recently, when w. F..
Rathman was chosen as drum major,
the boys invested in a baton and a
new fur "sky-piece" for him, so the
aggregation now presents real snap
py appearance when on parade.
The fact that the Oakes musicians
were engaged for the big Elks' cele-
bration at Aberdeen recently shows
that their reputation is more than
local, and they lived up to it by max
ing big hit while there, being singled
out from many other bands for spec
ial recognition.
The band now gives regular weekly
concerts in the City park on Thurs
day evenings, and will continue to do
so until Sept. 1, weather permitting.
Let's not fail to show the boys that
we are behind them all the time.

SECOND DICKEY
COUNTY EXHIBIT
Officials Making Preparations to Hold
Fair at Ellendale Four Days,
October S, 6, 7,8
BIG LIST OF PREMIUMS OFFERED
Exhibitors Urged to Get in Touch with
, Secretary at Once

Last years Dickey county fair was
such a success that those in charge
have decided to make it a permanent
institution, which is as it should be.
The live stock, grains, grasses, vege-
tables, ETC., raised in this county will
compare favorably with the products
Of any other subdivision, and the won
der is that we have not had an annual
lair ever since the state was admittSd
to the union.
Officers Of the Dickey County Fair
association are now at work making
preparations for the coming fair to
be held at Glendale October s, 8, 2
and 8. A much larger premium list
will be offered this year, and special
inducements will be offered for cattle,
swine and poultry exhibits. In addi-
tion, prizes will be offered for corn,
grains, grasses, vegetables, ETC., and
women's and children's departments
will be featured.
Speakers Of known ability will be
on hand to deliver addresses on inter-
esting subjects, splendid amusement
SAVSA k4A 1869 WAL SOULFUL 8uN ~ 10
planned to make the fair one Of which
the whole county may be proud.
The officials are anxious to get a
line on the number Of horses, cattle,
swine and sheep to be entered, and
those planning to exhibit stock are
urged to communicate with the secre-
tary Of the fair, o. L. Schulstad, or
County Agent Adams.
Present indications are that by an
other year the association will have
suitable grounds and buildings, but
work has been deferred until after
this fall because of conditions.
A county fair is one Of the best ad-
vertisements we can have, and if ev-
erybody will help a little this one
should be even more successful than
the last one.

HOLD PICNIC AT LISBON
Shrine Clubs from Several Towns are
Represented

Mobiles to the number Of seventy
five or eighty from al over this sec-'
ton Of the state, together with their
families, assembled at the Lisbon park
yesterday in response to invitations
sent out urging them to come and en-
joy picnic. The affair was in the
hands Of the Lisbon Shrine club and
the members Of that organization GER
tainly did themselves proud.
A program Of sports had been ar
ranged and the participants and spec
tators had lot Of fun. Boys and
girls races were the first on the pro-
gram, the youngsters almost running
their legs of in order to win the
prizes. After this fat men weighing
200 pounds or more were inveigled
into foot race. The big boys made
a gallant effort and succeeded in pull
ing off something that resembled a
race If one was not too particular.
They were unable to keep in straight
line, however, and finished somewhat
of the course. The best runner had a
scary acting pair Of trousers and
probably would have won If he hadn't
been obliged to stop and adjust his
wearing apparel in order to keep from
violating the poor food law. No cas-
ualties had been reported up to the
time Of going to press. The most in
teresting contest Of the afternoon was
the ladies' race. If you don't believe
the women can run just hang up a
prize and watch them. It was such
an inspiring sight that the reporter
didn't notice who won.
At 600 o'clock the picnic lunch was
served, and after the cravings of the
inner man for nourishment had been
appeased, everybody repaired to the
ball ground, where the principal atroc-
ity of the day was pulled of. La
Moure and Oakes picked out nine of
their most seaworthy males and start
ed them out in ball game with nine
embryo big leaguers from Lisbon and
Enderlin. The contest ragged for five
innings and when the smoke of battle
finally cleared away it was found that
Oakes and LaMoure had won by the
score of to 2. We had them shut
out until the last inning, when they
succeeded in getting two men on
bases. Then an inconsiderate athlete
picked out nice juicy one and slam
med it nearly into the river, scoring
both runners. The batter was a man
who has been playing salaried ball
this year and we really shouldn't have
allowed him in the game. He prob
ably would have scored. too, only he
had to wait until the other fellows had
waggled across the plate, when it was
too late. When the game started we
supplied the scorekeeper with an add
ing machine, but fortunately it was
not needed.
In the evening the mobiles and their
ladies enjoyed dancing in the big park
pavilion until late hour, after which
everybody departed for home.
The Lisbon bunch certainly are good
entertainers and we're going to have
them over here some day.
