Mail Order Houses Losing Out

The following item in one of the inn
portant daily newspapers recently is
full of cheer to the local merchant:
montgomery Ward & Co. sales for
April were $6,464,$73, compared with
$9,491, ,456 in April last year, de-
crease of 31.9 per cent. Sales for the
quarter which ended April 80 were
$25, ,179,O40 against $41,550,827 in
1920, decrease of 1874 per cent"
One can realize the significance of
this item when it is stated that this
is the first time in the history of Mont
gomery Ward & Co. that the business
has shown decrease. The best thing
that could possibly happen for small
communities is the death of mail or
der houses, and this is the first time
q glimmer Of hope ever showed above
the business horizon.

VERONA LOSES
FIRST CONTEST
Locals Prove Too Strong for Visitors
in Well Played Game Here
Last Sunday
NEW FACES APPEAR IN LINEUP
Kahl Pitches in Good Form and Gives
Great Promise for Future

The Verona base ball team came
over last Sunday prepared to wipe up
the earth with the locals, but they
miscalculated trifle and were obliged
to return home on the short end of an
8 to score. They were accompanied
by small coterie of rooters, who did
their level best to inject pep into their
heroes at all stages of the game, and,
though the boys really put up good
article of ball, they fell far short of
their mark.
Several new faces appeared in the
Oakes lineup and one in particular,
Monson, the catcher, showed lot of
ginger and kept the boys on their
toes every minute during the contest.
He steadied Kahl whenever he gave
evidence of letting up, and as con-
sequence Oakes was never in dan
ger. In fact, only for lucky three
bagger by Mailloux, the Verona catch
er, they would have registered shut
out. Chet Mcintyre and Wes Hoar
were the hitting fiends for Oakes, the
former registering three singles and
a base on balls in four times at bat,
while Wes slammed out single and
double in five trips to the plate.
Umpire Bowerman delayed the con-
test for several minutes during one
inning while he visited with the pitch
er. Carl said he hadn't seen him for
a long time and hated to pass up the
opportunity.
This is how the game looked to the

1921 GRADUATES
NOW HOLD STAGE
Commencement Address to Be Given
By Prof. John Adams Taylor
Of the University
CLASS is SMALLEST IN YEARS
Eight Girls and Three Boys About te
Begin Real Work of Life

With the last day of school only
about two weeks in the offing, the
plans for Commencement week are
fairly definite. The Senior class this
year is the smallest to be graduated
from the Oakes High for several sea-
sons, at least as far as numbers go,
but its claim to high quality is backed
up by analysis of achievement, and
the class of 1921 refuses to take a
back seat for any other. The class
roll contains the names of eight girls
and three boys. Christine Swanson,
Frances Freeman, Emma and Lora
Walter, Ruby Ames, Mary Gordon,
Mabel Benzel and Eva Moore consti-
tute the feminine section of the class,
while the three lonesome males are
Aubrey Ogden, Erling Anderson and
George Fordyce.
The final exams will begin on Fri
day afternoon, May 81. The calendar
Of events subsequent to that is as fol-
lows:
Saturday, May %, Junior-Senior pic

reate services.

Senior breakfast.
The Baccalaureate sermon will be
delivered this year by Rev. Herbert E..
Dierenfeld, who in response to the
invitation of the class is coming to
Oakes for this purpose a week before
his pastorate of the new Presbyterian
church here was officially scheduled to
begin. At this writing it had not been
definitely decided where this service is
to be held. Announcement will be
made next week.
The Commencement address. is to be
given by Prof. John Adams Taylor of
the English department of the Univer-
sity of North Dakota. That Prof.
Taylor is not as dry and tiresome as
college professors are by common re-
pute supposed to be, is evidenced by
the following quotation from his let

A Correction

When the average man makes a
mistake or says a mean thing about
a neighbor, he can almost always lie
out of it, but when a newspaper pulls
boner there's no chance to dodge the
issue, because it's right there in black
and white. Last j. w. Bush gave us
copy for a quarter page Ford runa-
bout advertisement, with prices +. o. b.
Detroit. In making up the paper we
unintentionally inserted touring car
cut with this advertisement instead
Of the runabout cut. The prices quot
ed were for runabout cars +. o. b.
Detroit. This error on our part has
caused Mr.. Bush to do a lot Of ex-
planning, so we make this statement
in order to clear him. The same ad
is run this week, with the proper cut.
Look it up.

FARMERS KEEP
COST RECORDS
American Farm Bureau Organizes Big
Sales Agency for State Wool
Pools
sHEARING TO BE DONE IN JUNE
Two Cars of Wool Shipped from this
County Last Year

Seven farmers Of Dickey county are
keeping accurate records on the cost
of producing all the crops that they
raise on their farms. This work is
being done in cooperation with the
county agent and the Farm Manage
ment department of the Agricultural
college, according to plan worked out
by the department Of agriculture at
Washington. Full allowance is made
for labor, interest on money invested,
depreciation on machinery and build
ings and other items that are often
overlooked by the average farmer
when he figures the actual cost Of pro-
ducing any Of his crops. These fig
ures are being collected on over 200
farms in the state and will be used
by the State and Farm Bureaus in
their arguments for reasonable price
for farm products.
Those now keeping these records are
Joe Pazandak, Ferd Pazandak, T. j.
Kelsh, R. johnson, Tom F. Fleming,
Mrs. Fred Van Horn and Carl FROZEN.
No doubt many people in the coun-
ty will be interested in the results Of
this investigation, which will be an
nounced some time after the first Of
the year.
The wool growers of Dickey county
met at Fullerton last Saturday after
noon and those present vere very much
pleased to learn that the American
Farm Bureau is organizing 4 national
sales agency which will call the wool
from all the state pools next year.
This is to do away with the competi-
tion that now exists between various
state pools. The growers were we'll
pleased with the way in which the
wool Of this county was handled last
year. Although all the wool has not
been disposed of, this is the only place
where there is any. Members feel
that their wool is better off in storage
at place where it can be disposed Of
as soon as the market advances than
it would be in the poor storage facil-
tiles on the farms.
Plans were made for the pooling of
this years crop at a time to be desig-
mated at later meeting of the board
of directors. Two cars of wool were
shipped from this county to the state
pool last year and it is thought that
more will go this year. A. E. Adams,
county agent, was instructed to order
sacks and twine from the State asso-
citation to be distributed to the men,
bers. He was also asked to get shear
ers into the county in time to get all
shearing done during June. 1t was
felt that 15c per head was as high a
price as any one should pay for shear
ing. The board of directors was re-
elected in body by unanimous vote,
and A. E. Adams was elected to serve
as secretary and manager, filling the
vacancy left by the resignation of Mr..
Kuenning.
The sentiment of the growers to-
ward the pool can be CLEANED from a
statement made by j. w. McNary,
superintendent of the Baldwin farms,
who has the wool from 100 sheep in
the pool. He says, eve believe that
the pool is the best means of disposing
of our wool and will stick by it until
| the end"

ORATORS GO TO GRAND FORKS
Clark Smith and Miss Ruby Ames VII
in Declamatory Contest

Although the declamatory contest
last Friday evening was of an in
formal nature and had not been pub
licly advertised, crowd that filled
the high school assembly room gather
ed to hear the speakers make their
bid for the honor and privilege of
representing the Oakes high school in
the state contest at Grand Forks this
week.
In spite of the short time spent in
preparation, owing to the Senior play
and other activities that have occupied
most Of the time and attention of
scholars and teachers up to very re-
Gently, the contest was fully up to
the standard Of similar events in the
past. It took several Of the high
school teachers to fill Miss Barclays
shoes in drilling the contestants, but
either they had underestimated their
own abilities, or the scholars had more
talent than they had been given credit
for, because the contest was better
than had been hoped or expected.
Six girls and two boys spoke in the
preliminaries. According to the rules
of the state contest, each high school
is entitled to be represented by one
girl and one boy. Consequently each
of the boys had a $3.50 chance to win
the trip, while the odds for the girls
were 81. The girls who entered were
Gladys Hayden, Gertrude Adams, Mar
garet Elliott, Ruby Ames, Hazel Tay-
lor and Margaret Brennan. Clark
Smith and Howard Blazer were the
representatives of the sterner sex.
After the contest the judges check
ed up their decisions. Clark Smith
was found to be the winner of the
boys end Of the contest, but so close
ly ranked were the girls that the COM
posite score found Ruby Ames and
Margaret Brennan tied for first place.
These two winners and the high school
faculty were then called into consult
alton, with the result that Ruby Ames
was selected as the representative of
>Oakes in the state contest. One of
the reasons that was strongly influ-
entail in this disposition of the prob
lem was that as a Senior Miss Ames
will not have another chance to par
ticipate in such a contest, while Miss
Brennan still has two more years of
high school in which to gain honors
for herself and the school.
The talent displayed, especially by
the members of the lower classes of
the high school, augurs we'll for the
future, and indicates that during the
next few years the Oakes high will
make a strong bid for honors in the
state contest.
Superintendent j. C. Gould, well
chaperoned by Ruby Ames and Clark
Smith, left yesterday afternoon for
Fargo, enroute to the university for
the annual high school conference and
the various contests held in connection
with it, of which the declamatory con-
test is only one. It is to be hoped
that next year Oakes will have entries
in some Of the other events, such as
music and the athletic contests.
