NORWEGIAN LUTHERANs UNITE
Rev. Moe Left Yesterday for New
Pastorate at Charlson

A proposition which has been under
discussion for some time, was con-
summated recently when the Hauge
and the United Lutheran congrega-
tions of this city united to form the
First Lutheran church of Oakes, this
union being an outgrowth of the
merging of the general bodies in 1917.
This will make it possible for one
pastor to serve the Norwegian Luth-
erans of this vicinity. Rev. j. H.
Lindland, who has served as pastor
of the United Lutheran congregation
for many years, has handed in his res
ignation, and will retire. Rev. H.
Moe, pastor of the Hauge Lutheran
congregation, has also resigned, and
accepted call to Charison, in Nc
Kenzie county. A new pastor will
take charge of the united congrega-
tions as soon as man can be secured
to accept the call.
Rev. Lindland feels that his long
years of service have earned for him
much needed rest, but we are glad
to say that he will continue to make
Oakes his home after his retirement.
Rev. Moe and family left yesterday
by automobile for their new home in
Charlson. These folks are old time
residents of our city, and will be sore
ly missed by a large percentage Of
our population. Their wide circle
of friends and well-wishers deeply re-
gret their decision to leave Oakes, but
wish for them the fullest measure of
health and prosperity. in their new
surroundings.

sullivan-McNerney Nuptials

The marriage of Emmett A. Sulli-
van of Mound City, S. D., and Miss
Mamie A. McNerney of Oakes, was
solemnized yesterday morning at nine
o'clock at St. Charles Catholic church,
Rev. j. p. Zimmerman officiating. Leo
Brennan and Miss Seraphine McNer-
ney were the attendants.
After the ceremony the interested
parties drove out to the home of the
bride, ten miles east of the city, Mr..
and Mrs. Guy taking them out by car.
A sumptuous wedding breakfast was
served by Mrs. McNerney.
In the afternoon the newlyweds
took the train at Ludden, going to Abb
erdeen and points east, on a short
wedding trip, after which they will re-
turn to Mound City, S. D., where the
groom is in the law business, being
partner of States Attorney Wells of
Campbell county.
The bride is daughter of our es-
teemed friends, Mr.. and Mrs. James
McNerney, and for some years sue
cessful school teacher. The groom is
we'll known here, having been in the
Office Of Attorney Guy until his re-
moval to Mound City. He has seen
service in the World war, and has
the characteristics that bid for a bril-
liant future.
The Times wishes the young folks
the greatest success.

TEACHERS LEAVE FOR SUMNER
Wide Variety of Vacation Plans Oc-
cupy Attention of Instructors

With the close of school, the var
ious teachers are entering upon wide
variety Of vacation plans. Mrs. Den
ming expects to leave soon with her
husband for visit with her parents
in Wisconsin. MIR. DeLaHunt has de-
cided to forsake the teaching profess
sion, and has already started upon his
new. work as sort of general Office
manager for H. ]. johnson. Miss
Craig is "loafing" around home for
the present, but is thinking of attend
ing summer school again during part
of the vacation. Miss Even has re-
turned to her home in Darlington,
where she expects to put in the sum-
mer modifying Dad, who is reported
to be quite peeved because she is re-
turning to Oakes again next year in
stead of accepting the offer to teach
in the high school at home. Miss
Thomas has been planning on a trip
through Yellowstone park, returning
via Nebraska, where she would spend
some time with relatives, but illness
in the family may upset her plans.
Miss Shade should have lucky sum-
mer at home, in Kingsley, Iowa, for
she carried home tied to her suitcase

DIR. CHRISTENSEN TO GO WEST
He and Family Will Soon Start on
Extensive Trip

DR.. Edgar Christensen has sold his
dental business and equipment to DR..
A. A. Christensen of Wimbledon, N.
D., and is making preparations for
an extensive trip of the west to look
up another location.
The doctor and daughter Inez left
yesterday morning by car for Lidger-
wood, this state, where they will re-
main for week, visiting the Doctors
brother. They will be Joined there by
Mrs. Christensen and will go to Albert
Lea, Mimi, for a short visit with his
mother.
The Christensens are little unde-
cided whether to go to Los Angeles,
Cal, their final destination, by way
Of Colorado, or go the north route, by
way of Yellowstone park, and take in
the cities OF the MISUNDERSTANDING,
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland.
The people of Oakes are sorry to
see DR.. Christensen and family leave
the city. The doctor has been splen-
did worker in Masonic circles, having
attained last year the place of wor-
shipful master, a position he filled
with credit. Mrs. Christensen has
been a great worker in the Presbyter-
ian church, especially among the little
folks of the Sabbath school, who will
miss her keenly. She has spent all of
her life here, graduated from our high
school, and then was a teacher in the
same institution. In any labor she
undertook, she did it with a whole
heart, enthusiastically and cheerfully
In honor of DR.. and Mrs. Christen-
sen the Masons and Eastern Star gave
a farewell party on Monday evening
at Union Temple. A large gathering
was present to do them honor. AS
slight tokens of remembrance Mrs.
Christensen was presented q hand
some lavalier with came, set, and
DR.. Christensen was given the charm
of 32nd degree Mason.
The Times wishes them a pleasant
journey, and hopes to hear of their
lines being cast in pleasant places.
Good luck!

AND THEN HE DISAPPEARED
Editor Makes His Escape After TAX
ing Shrine

The friends of the senior editor of
this great moral journal are some-
what worried over his sudden disap-
pearance. He went to Fargo a week
ago to take the Shrine. They say he
rode the camel we'll, and then made
his escape by the north gate. Not a
word has been heard from him since.
It has been the ambition of his life
to get so far in Masonry as to~be a
Shriner. He had talked Of it while
awake, and dreamed of it in his sleep.
His friends" went along to assist
him across the burning sands of the
desert, and then lead him to the oasis
that he might quench his thirst And
then after it was all over, to escape
so mysteriously, is a bit bewildering
to those who made the journey with
him. We hope no ill has befallen him.
After he runs far enough-and cools
oft may be that he will return to
the house of his friends"
There were three others from this
county to take the journey: C. L.
Gordinier of Oakes, Ben Mckeague of
Fullerton and A. o. Thompson Of
Glover. Then to the east there were
Senator Nils Peterson and Mr..
Thompson from Gwinner, Messrs.
Wyckof and Ellingson of Havana.
Those who attended from Dickey
county were: Mobiles Naylor, Jacobs,
Mosher, Anderson, Wright, Earl Rob-
inson, Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Lillibridge
and Mrs. Gordinier of Oakes, Phillips
of Glendale, and Mr.. and Mrs. o. A.
Kroman of Forbes.
From Cogswell there were: Mr.. and
Mrs. Overton, Mobiles Ashley and
Howard. The latter passed through
Oakes Saturday on their way home.
The class of novices at this cere-
monial numbered two hundred. Work
was started in the afternoon and COM
pleted by $3.50 in the evening, after
which the entertainment was carried
on at the auditorium, dancing being
interspersed with numbers by an
amusement company from Minneapo-
lis.

Surprise Party for Rev. Lindland

A gathering of about s5 people
stepped into Rev. Lindland's home last
Tuesday evening to celebrate his six
tieth birthday. To show their appre-
citation Of the faithful work the pas
tor has done during the past "a years,
a heavy purse was donated to him.
Mrs. Lindland was also remembered
by the Ladies Aid with a gift of
$l0O, in token of appreciation of the
church and Sunday school work done
the last Is years. Rev. and Mrs.
Lindland responded with heartfelt
thanks for the kindness shown by
their church members and friends.
The ladies served bountiful dinner
at II o'clock, and all present report
a splendid time.

ELEVEN NEW
H. s. ALUMNI
Commencement C Exercises Held at the
Methodist Church Last Thurs
day Evening
PROF. ADAMS GIVES ADDRESS
Miessner Piano Presented to School
BY Graduating Class

Eleven more young people became
alumni of the Oakes High School last
Thursday evening, when they received
their diplomas from President Coulter
of the board of education. The grad
uation exercises were simple, but
greatly enjoyed by all the members
of the audience that taxed the ca
pacity of the M. E. church, as we'll as
the class that was the center of the
evenings attraction.
Two numbers were rendered by the
High School Glee club in manner I.
that reflected credit to Miss Even,
who has put in great effort, and with
marked success, in rcv!ving the de-
partment Of music in the city schools
the pas; year. The invocation by Rev.
O. L. Anthony was followed by brief,
but to the point, salutatory by Fran
ces Freeman, who welcomed the audi
ence to the final exercises of the class
of 1921.
Prof. John Adams Taylor. of the
English depart lent of the University
of North Oak ia, delivered the ad-
dress of the evening. His topic was
the "Four-squate ,Lan," and lie ad-
dressed himself chiefly to the grad
uating class, although his advice was
just as applicable to and as deeply
enjoyed by the whole crowd. The
four main points of his address were
that a person should read something
worth readn, see something worth
seeing, do something worth doing, and
be something worth being. He am
plified each topic with many illustra-
tions, and in spite of the fact that he
was very openly giving advice and
saying things that were very much
worth while, his keen wit and ready
humor kept the audience attentive and
receptive right to the end. In the
judgment of many it was the best
commencement address to which they
had ever listened.
After the address Christine Swan
son gave a short valedictory speech,
during which, as evidence of the ap-
probation of the class for the oppor-
tunities they have enjoyed in the
Oakes schools, she presented to the
school a Miessner piano, to be deliv-
cred next fall. The Miessner piano
is small piano with tone as big as
any. 1t can be carried easily by two
men, and will be used in connection
with the music work of the school.
President Coulter then gave to the
membeA of the class their diplomas,
in k::s usual impressive way. Those
receiving parchments were Ruby
Ames, Mabel Benzel, Mary Gordon,
Frances Freeman, Eva Moore, Chris
tine Swanson, Emma and Lora Wal
ter, George Fordyce, Aubrey Ogden,
and Erling Anderson Strand. Rev.
H. Moe then pronounced the benedic-
zion. after which the graduates re-
ceived the congratulations of their
many friends.
Friday morning the high school
teachers entertained the graduates at
breakfast in the domestic science
room. After the breakfast several
dozen kodak snaps were taken, and
later in the day the class had more
formal picture taken at one of the
studios. After the latter picture had
been taken, the big class banner was
cut up, each member of the class re-
ceiving portion as memento of the
high school days that are now over.

LEGION MAKING
PLANS FOR 18th
Local Post Arranging for Barbecue
and Picnic at Donation Park
on National Holiday
CITIZENS HANDLING FINANCES
Ball Game, Horse Races, Foot Races
on Program

July 4-that great day when the
eagle is won't to scream his loudest
DER the length and breadth Of the
land-is once more rapidly approach
ing, and plans are being laid to the
end that Oakes may be very conspic-
uously on the map on that date, as
on former occasions. The American
Legion again has charge of arranging
for the days entertainment, but the
boys are contemplating something of
different nature than was pulled off
last year.
Instead of attempting to raise the
money necessary to bring an aero
plane and other high priced attrac-
tions Of a like nature here, those in
charge are planning for a real old
fashioned good time in the way of a
barbecue and picnic. The days events
will all be held at Donation park this
year, where there is plenty of room
for picnic grounds, and the barbecue
will be pulled off there.
Foot races, horse races, broncho
busting and other outdoor sports, for
nominal prizes, will be on the pro-
gram for the afternoon. Local bust
ness men will circulate petition for
subscriptions to defray the expense
of the barbecue and picnic and prizes
for the various races. A ball game
will be the stellar attraction of the
day. It has not been definitely set
tied as yet what teams will play, but
to most of us it would seem that no
Fourth of July celebration could be
complete without a ball game with
our ancient rivals on the diamond
to-wit, Glendale. We just handed
them one bitter pill that must have
been hard for them to swallow-let's
do it again on the Fourth.
The evening will be devoted to the
interests Of those who love the terp-
sichorean art, and two dances will be
held that night. A bowery dance will
be in progress at the Legion pavil-
ion, where the young folks may gallop
to the strains of jazz music until they
are near enough to exhaustion to be
thoroughly happy, while good old
fashioned dance, with real old time
music, will be held in the C. M. C.
hall for the benefit 6 the older folks
who don't shake such wicked hoofs
as some of the younger generation

LOCALS GAIN
TWO VICTORIES
Cogswell and Glendale Fall Victims
to Local Diamond Warriors in
Last Two Games
GLENDALE GAME TEN INNINGS
Oakes Team Wins Sixth Straight
Game Sunday

We have met the enemy-two enc
mics, in fact-and they are both ours.
The Oakes ball team added two more
to their unbroken string Of victories
by defeating Cogswell last Friday to
the tune of 81, and sending Ellen
dale home Sunday, gnashing their
teeth, with the short end of 81
score, both games being played on the
Donation park diamond. Out Of six
games played this year, the boys have
not lost single one, their opponents
scoring a total of but six runs, one in
each game. That is certainly a rec
ord to be proud of. Our knights of
the diamond are sure going great this
year, and are deserving of the heart
lest support from the entire commun-
ity.
Hart. our new twirler, was on the
slab for the Cogswell game Friday,
and had the horsohide working for
him every minute, allowing but one
hit. The boys were all playing good
ball, and had no trouble in getting
Cogswell's number, although the
game was a good one and we'll worth
witnessing. Following were the line
ups:
Oakes-Hoffman, catcher; Hart,
pitcher; Kahl, first base; M. Hoar,
second base; w. Hoar, short stop; w.
Mcintyre, third base; C. Mcintyre,
left field; Pannebaker, center field;
Reko, right field.
Cogswell-Wolstad, catcher; Witt,
pitcher; Rossberg, left field; Lang,
third base; Melrose, short stop; Prem
tice, second base; Ashley, first base;
McCrory, center field; Matthews, right
field.
The game with Glendale Sunday
brought forth an example of real
ball playing, and will be the talk of
the fans for many day to come
Both teams put up an air-tight brand
OF ball, and it would do anybody's
heart good to see such game. Oakes
got one runner across the plate in the
first inning. Glendale tied the score
in the second frame, and then there
were seven rounds Of blanks for each
side. Kahl was in the box for Oakes
and was in great form, working like a
big Lacquer every minute, allowing
but one hit and striking out nine men,
Hubbard pitched a good game for FL
lendale also, and struck out six men,
In the last half of the tenth Chet Nc
Intyre decided it was about time to
start something, SO he slammed the
ball on the nose for a two-base hit
Hart, who followed him to bat, was
not to be outdone, and after connect
ing with the ball, he made the full
circuit of the bases before the search.
ing party got back from Montana, o,
wherever it was they found the pill
Thus ended what we opine will be the
greatest game Of the season.
The lineups were as follows:
Oakes-Hoffman, catcher; Kahl
pitcher; Hart, first base; M. Hoar
second base; w. Hoar, short stop; w
Mcintyre, third base; C. Mcintyre
