JOHN R. ARMSTRONG is CALLED
Aged Resident is Victim of Heart
Failure

|, John R. Armstrong, for years a res
ident of Oakes and we'll known to
every man, woman and child here,
passed away suddenly last Saturday
morning at about $3.50 o'clock. Mr..
Armstrong was sitting in the Variety
Store owned by his son, L. T. Arm
strong, as had been his custom for q
long time, when without warning he
was stricken with an attack Of heart
failure and died instantly.
Mr.. Armstrong was born in London,
Ontario, May 4, 184S, and at the time
Of his death was 73 years, s months
and II days old. On Jan. 1, 1868, he
was united in marriage to Miss Mar.
garet Campbell Of Essex, Ont, who
preceded him to the great beyond OF
March 4, 1892. Four children, thre.
daughters and one son, came to blesl
this union: Mrs. J. d. Scott and L
T. Armstrong, well known and re.
spected residents Of Cakes; Mrs. Geo
Potter Of Ronald, Wis, formerly Of
this city, and Mrs. Will Roulston o1
Lucknow, Ont; all Of whom, together
with sister, Mrs. Robt. Scott o1
Moorhead, Minn., survive.
The deceased came to O1kes in
March, 1906, since which time he ha,
made his home with Mr.. and Mrs. ]
D. Scott. He was a quiet, unassum.
ing man and his sudden taking away
is a severe shock to relatives and
friends, to whom the sympathy Of the
community is extended.
Funeral services were conducted BY
Rev. S. B. Doty from the Scott resi-.
dence Monday afternoon at 2:30 O..
clock and were attended by a large
number Of friends who came to pay
their last respects. Burial took place
in. the Oakes cemetery.

SMOOT EXPLAINS
SALES TAX PLAN
Utah Senator Says it Will Give tn
Treasury Department Constant
Flow of Funds
CLAIMS 1T IS BOUND TO COME
Proposition Said to Be Favored BY
Manufacturers

The sales tax is bound to come, the
United States senate is told by Sen.
Smoot, republican of Utah, author Of
a manufacturers' sales tax plan which
he urged as q substitute for the ex-
cess profits tax and the various mis-
cellaneous taxes now in force.
"There is no real fundamental OBJ
lection to sales tax" the senator
declared. 1T is a pay as you 60
proposition and for that reason ia
vored by manufacturers, though
they may pay more in taxes than
under an income and excess profits
system. But they will know to GER
tainty just what the tax is; they will
pay it out of current receipts. It can
be Immediately charged to costs as
a definite amount and without the
imitation which has existed under the
excess profits tax; and all taxes are
charged into costs just as rent, wages,
materials purchased, interest and all
other expenses.
every one to whom it applied
would be able to ascertain the amount
Of his liability at glance, and the
process of working out tax return
would lose all its terrors. It will give
the treasury department a constant
inflow of revenue during monthly
periods-current expenses can be met
out of current receipts to that ex-
tent. 1t amounts to an adjusting of
taxes to business instead Of trying to
compel business to adjust itself to
taxes"
Replying to arguments that the.pro-
posed tax was impossible of admin
istration, Senator Smoot said this
was not a fact; that manufacturers
taxes were being collected under the
present tax law and that collections
could be made in the same manner
under his proposals. He gave details
of the manner in which the s per cent
tax is now collected on automobile
tires, tubes, parts and accessories. He
also read letter from Assistant In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Smith
who stated that in his opinion the
Smoot manufacturers sales tax
would be no more difficult Of admin
istration than the sales taxes imposed
by the 1917 and 1918 laws.
/, "Under the present law" the
speaker said, 1--WE have raised during
the fiscal year just passed close to
81, 900, 100000 through various forms
of sales taxes and special taxes which
have been passed on to the consumer,
Of which about $2O0,00O,00O has been
on sales by manufacturers. In other
words, we have collected during the
( fiscal year just passed under manu-
! facturers' sales tax an amount Of
money greater than was obtained in
the year 1916 through the income tax
on corporations"
The Utah senator opposed the pro.
! posed per cent increase in the cor
, poration income and high surtax
rates, declaring that the latter were

DUCKS MEET THEIR WATERLOO
Over Fifty Web Footed Beauties
Served at Masonic Banquet

That the so-called hard times have
had no appreciable effect on the appe-
tites Of Oakes epicures was amply
demonstrated Monday evening when
about eighty members Of the local
Masonic lodge sat down to baked
duck supper at Union Temple.
Several Of the more enterprising
Masons had spent the greater part Of
the two preceding days in Dickey
county sloughs and swamps bagging
ducks in order that the banquet might
be success. Their efforts were not
expended in vain, for over fifty feath-
cred beauties were brought down,
dressed and baked, and the way the
boys waded into that supper was a
caution.
The tables were placed in the middle
Of the spacious room and several Of
the more gluttonous feeders refused
to quit stuffing themselves with duck
until their backs were against the
wall.
Don't think from the foregoing that
ducks were the only eatables that clut-
tered up the table. We had dressing,
Smashed" potatoes, cranberry sass,
biscuits, butter, gravy, coffee, cream,
n everything, and at the conclusion
Of the banquet the perfectos were
passed around to those who like to
woo Lady Nicotine.
As a fitting. climax to the evenings
festivities, the officers had prepared
a lamb for the slaughter, the third
degree being conferred upon Carl Ing.
stad.
The evening was a most enjoyable
one from every standpoint, although
we verify believe that many Of those
present were kept awake until nearly
morning fighting imaginary demons
as the result Of overlooking Their
stomachs to the bursting point.

The conference is called for 2:0(

Able Speakers Appear ON Program at
Sessions

teachers OF the county, and from re-
ports was time which was profitable
and interesting to all concerned.
President r. N. Black acted as con-
ductor and in his able way took charge
Of the upper grade work, giving many
catchy problems in arithmetic, Eng
lish, ETC., and explained, as far 40
possible, the new course Of study.
Mrs. CAM, the primary instructor,
formerly Of Bismarck, proved herself
not only very efficient but interesting
as well, since she varied her work by
playing games, using the teachers as
children.
Tuesday morning the work of citi.
zenship was presented and the way in
which the teachers Of Dickey county
responded to this call was exceedingly
gratifying. A number have person
ally volunteered to help would-be citi-
zens in their work of naturalization.
We feel this work is very much worth
while.
Wednesday morning Professor Bo-
din, superintendent Of the high school,
gave an instructive discussion on cur
rent events. He varied this discussion
by personally asking the teachers q
number Of questions. It is hoped the
efficacy Of his talk will grow upon the
teachers az they realize that number
of the questions in the eighth grade
final examinations are based upon the
child's knowledge Of current happen
ings.
R. L. Brown, the field secretary Of
the N. D. E. A., was with US for a
short time, during which he gave an
interesting and inspirational talk,
bringing out the teachers duty not
only to her school but to her COM
munity as well.
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, from
Frankfort, Kentucky, gave highly
interesting discussion Of the smoon-
light schools" of Kentucky. She
brought out the fact that the aged
as well as the young were benefited
by them.
Superintendent Hall Of the North
Dakota Children's home at Fargo was
also an outside speaker. He spoke
concerning the project Of building a
new or larger home for the homeless
children Of the state. Mr.. Hall has
been in charge Of the home for some
time and is doing a splendid work.
Wednesday evening at $3.50 an elab-
crate banquet was served to the teach
ers and friends at the Methodist
church. The speakers at the banquet
were as follows: Mr.. Penn spoke on
"Preparation," MIR. Bodin on "Effici-
ency," and Mr.. Black on "Persever-
ance." Mr.. Brown then took the initial
letter of each word and gave "pep-
py" discussion on "Pep." Miss Clara
Landmark, one Of the Dickey county
teachers, gave a thrilling patriotic Sc
lection, and Mr.. Hall closed by giving
a few interesting war facts mingled
with general advice to the teachers.
This program, varied with popular
songs, led by Mrs. CAM, was given
between courses. Supt. Faith Stevens
gave a fitting conclusion to the affair
when she said she always thought the
teachers Of Dickey county had 'pep''
and now she knew they did since
nearly all Of them came to the ban
quet, when they knew there would be
no roll call.
