S,pecial Issue of Paper Dedicated to
Noted Alumnus.

Davidson, N. C. Dec. 2S.-The staff
of the Davidsonian, student weekly
publication of Davidson College, have
lust issued special Woodrow Wilson
number. This issue is the most pre-
tent;ous ever attempted by The David
sonian and said to be one of the larg-
est ever published by any Southern
Collegiate weekly.

fact as well as in name for it carries
about twenty-five columns about the
ex-president. Every effort has been
made to secure only authoritative ma
terial from the pens of able men. DIR.

article on wilson's accomplishments
at the Paris Conference" discussing
them from the political angle. In

enIared form. Every departmental
editor made a special effort to make
his page truly representative ard
worthy of that particular phase OF

The Williamson Reunion.

One OIL Tie largest anu pledSdnteS'
occasions of the kind was the reunion
of the family of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
J. Williamson, at their home in this
county. This affair was to have been
held on Christmas day, but as that
day fell on Sunday, it was held on
Monday 26th. Alarge number of the
children and grandchildren of Mr.
Williamson were present. Besides
these, Miss Lottie Dukes and Mr.. P
B. Lockwood were visitors.
The occasion was greatly enjoyed
by all present, and one that will be
long remembered.
A barbecue dinner was served, and
everything desired by the inner man
was on hand. Indeed, it was feast
to please the gods.
The number of little children pres
ent were enough to make man wish
he had been married before he was
born, or could live always among
these dear little ones, the little gold
en- chains that draw US nearer Heav-
en-, and make life worth living. The
writer has always loved children, and
it made US "feel a boy again" to be
with them.
Mr.. Henry J. Williamson is one of
those wholehearted, courteous South
en gentlemen, a weH-known and
highly esteemed citizens of this coun-
ty. He is in his 77th year and is
still in good health. He served two
years in the Confederate army, and
bears the unique distinction of serv-
ing in the army, and not receiving
a cent pay. He is still active and
we wish him many happy years to
come.
Those present were the following
with their children: Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry J. Williamson, Wilhelmina,
Edward. Hoyt and Herman, of Cades;
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Furman, Hessie,
Julius, Steve, Evelyn, George, Au-
rellia and Douglas, of Cades, and

Reduction in Transportation Janutry

On January 1, 1922, passengers and
shippers will realize a very substantial
reduction in freight and passenger
transportation on account of the re-
moval of the tax on transportation
effective on that date. Instructions
have been issued to agents and others
concerned providing that no tax on
freight or passenger transportation
furnished on or after January 1, 1922,
will be charged. Tickets for trans
portation may be purchased at any
time during the remainder of the pres
ent year without the payment of any
tax provided the transportation serv-
ice is not performed until 1922.

Cows Shipped Into County

Many Dickey county farmers are
starting in the dairy business this fall.
This is move toward more stable
agriculture and will insure against re-
peated losses by crop failures.
A carload Of high grade dairy cows
was shipped into Oakes last week
from Marathon county, Wis, the fol-
lowing men being the purchasers:
Albert johnson, ]. A. Donnelly, DR..
Frost, DIR. Maercklein, Henry Gemar,
Axel Harrsen, Lars Martinson, Ken
dali Bros, Roy Roney, John Pfeifer
and Henry Perlenfein.
Mr.. Martinson, who accompanied
County Agent Adams on the buying
trip, reports that some very good cows
were purchased. Nineteen have test
ing association records averaging 307.3
pounds Of butterfat for the year. All
come from herds free Of tuberculosis.
It will be interesting to watch the
demonstrations provided by these ami
mails. Each farmer purchasing them
has agreed to keep milk records for
the following year.
Mr.. Adams reports that times are
hard and that money is tight in Wis
consin, but that formers are not deep
ly in debt as is the case in this state.
This he says is due to the monthly
milk check and the smaller expense of
operating a dairy farm in comparison
with a wheat farm. He advocates q
smaller wheat acreage and the milking
of more cows.

INDEPENDENTS
WIN ELECTION
Complete Reversal of the Returns as
Indicated in Campaign of
Last Fall
FINAL MAJORITY ABOUT 1000
Thirty Days Will Elapse Before New
Officials Take Hold

Nestos' majority. y....................... 4,378
As this article is written the above
are the unofficial figures on the vote
for governor as registered at the re-
call election last Friday. The totals
cover all but II of the 1904 precincts
of the state. The unreported pre-
cincts cannot possibly overcome Nes-
tos majority of from 1000 to 4,500.
Frazier made the best showing Of
the three league candidates, with
Lemke second and Hagan third. On
the Independent ticket johnson was
high man, with Nestos second and
Kitchen third.
A peculiar feature Of the election,
in view Of the fact that the independ-
ents won, is the defeat Of the initiated
laws and constitutional amendments,
every one having lost.
The complete figures for Dickey
county on governor give 1882 for Mes
tos and 1855 for Frazier. A year ago
the vote stood on governor in this
county at 2151 for O'Connor and 1874
for Frazier. That shows smaller
vote by 260 than cast for governor
a year ago. Most Of the stay-aways
were from the ranks Of the independ-
ents.
Oakes gave to the independents 504
and to the nonpartisans SO notes. On
the governorship James River Valley
gave Nestos 80, Frazier SO; Bear
Creek, Nestos Al, Frazier 20; Clement,
Nestos 81, Frazier Al; Riverdale, Mes
tos 18, Frazier AZ, and so on down the
line. The most noticeable change was
in Riverdale, where they voted for the
administration as they did not believe
in the recall.
Naturally the independents are feel
ing jubilant over the result. For six
years they have battled with the nom
partisans only to get the thin end
of the score with the votes all in.
The nonpartisans at each election
lost ground. In last years contest
the independent candidate for gover-
nor gathered in 49 9,per cent of the vote,
to lose by the small majority of a.
600. This year the tables are turned
and the independent candidate wins
by about the same margin.
There are rumors Of an election
contest, but the mouthpiece Of the
league, the Courier-News, comes out
editorially against such a course.
It looks as if Townleyism has been
finally ditched in North Dakota. The
nonpartisan league had wonderful
opportunity to make good, but the
wild dreamers and selfish schem-
ers were doomed for the drubbing they
received in the recall election, when
they tackled onto this program all the
schemes of national and international
socialism. North Dakota was made
the experimental ground for their
ventures. It was one vast orgy of ex-
penditures, and the taxpayer was
made the goat.
i It was an expensive piece Of folly,
and the bill will have to be paid. But
thank goodness, our feet have reached
earth again and we can start anew.

BIG FEED FOR FOOTBALL SQUAD
Boys Develop Wonderful Capacity for
Good Things to Eat

Monday evening of last week the
members Of the football squad, with
Coach Wyttenbach, Supt. Gould, and
Rev. Dierenfield, who has officiated at
most Of the games participated in by
the Cakes eleven, were entertained at
a most sumptuous- banquet served by
mothers Of the squad members. The
Community Service girls contributed
some excellent ice cream as a token of
their regard, and Misses Craig, Shade,
Even and Thomas Of the high school
faculty served as "hashers."
If Oakes had tackled Glendale the
Saturday before the way they went
after that chicken, mashed potatoes,
baked beans and brown bread, cram
berry sauce, ETC., they would have run
up record score. Nepstad plowed
through a huge plateful with the same
ease that marks his progress through
the line. Anyone who saw Fordyce
tackle his heaped-up portion would
agree that Coach Wyttenbach used
rare judgment in placing him at tackle
on the team. There were no casual
ties during the evening, though time
had to be taken out for Hample after
his scrimmage with his third piece Of
angel cake, and Coach Wyttenbach
was hit in the nose by one Of the but
tons that popped from Captain Hazel's
vest.
Olson, with his arm in sling from
his cracked wrist in last Saturdays
game, was seriously handicapped, but
with the assistance of the mattresses
he managed to absorb all the grub he
could comfortably hold. Rev. Dieren-
field was penalized five yards for being
offside on the ice cream and cake
down, but he made up the distance by

the Legion, is presiding officer and
called the convention to order.
Kansas City was riot Of color and

uniforms were in evidence. Divisional

fort on the part of local posts and
departments to find work for the 900,-

CAKES VISITED !.
BY WllDSTlORM
Farm Machinery, Smokestacks and
Other Articles Piled High in
Principal Streets
LOSS VERY HARD TO ESTIMATE
Great Property Damage, But Nobody
iseKilled ~ go :

Judging from the appearance OF our
streets Tuesday morning Oakes must
have been visited by one of the most
terrific storms in its history some time
during the previous night. We sleep
soundly and our slumber was not dis
turbed by the high wind which was
responsible for. the havoc wrought, but
the evidence presented to our eyes ad-
mitted Of no dispute and we went on a
still hunt for the casualty list.
It seemed impossible that such an
awful wind could possibly have swept
over this city without causing the
death Of scores and the manning for
life of hundreds more.
People coming down Union street
early Tuesday morning were confront
ed by the most appalling scene Of de-
struction ever witnessed by mortal
optics. Two threshing machines had
been blown from near the Artesian
Well company's, Office to the intersce-
tion Of Union and Second streets,
where they reposed in peace just un-
der the street light. Wagons, now
ers, spreaders, plows and other farm,
implements cluttered up the highway
in fantastic array. In fact complete
list of the things piled up would read
like an auction sale bill, only no live
stock was included, and the loss un-
doubtedly will run into the thousands
Of dollars, with little or no insurance
Other streets were the same, only
worse, and it will be impossible to
check up the damage for several days
or until adjusters reach the scene
Small buildings Of every description
|were moved from the outlying dis.
tricts to the main part Of town and
the services Of a small army Of men
were required to take them back to
the places whence they came.
No windows in the down town sec.
tion were broken, SO far as we have
been able to ascertain, but a great
many Of them were horribly disfg.
ured and at this early time it is un.
certain whether a liberal application
of soap and water will prove effica.
cious in removing the various marks
and legends"
A careful. survey Of the town would
create the impression that we have
gone into the junk business on q large
scale with no market. And
Just as we reached this point thu
Office "devil," who had been reading
over our shoulder with widening
eyes, exclaimed in disgust: cav
shucks, you're crazy; that wasn't nj
storm; last night was Halloween ant
the kids done It."
Well leave. it to you. If you'd
spent two hours writing story o.
the worst storm you ever heard Of
you wouldn't throw it in the vast,
basket just because there was moth
ing to it. Now, would you?

MAsoNs BANQUET STAR LADIES
Over One Hundred Ducks Sacrificed
Upon Appetite Altar

Some time ago local Masons hit
upon the more or less brilliant idea
Of putting on a big feed, inasmuch as
many members are hunters Of ability
and ducks appear to be plentiful this
fall. The banquet was an unqualified
success except for one thing-they
forgot to invite the ladies. This lit
tie oversight having been called to
their attention, the boys made up their
minds that the next evenings festiv-
tiles would leave nothing to be desired.
In accordance with this afterthought
the ladies Of the Eastern Star, their
husbands and all Masons and their
wives were invited to assemble at
Union Temple last Monday evening to
partake Of baked duck and all the
trimmings. Every man who could
shoulder shotgun and hit the side Of
barn was told to Ego out and get
'em," and the order certainly was
obeyed to the letter, for over hund-
red members of the feathered tribe fell
victims to the hunters prowess and
presented an imposing array when
they were brought to the temple for
final disposal.
While no official count was taken of
the number Of guests, there must have
been at least $50 people present at the
banquet. Two tables extending the
length Of the room, besides two small
er ones, were placed at the disposal Of
the diners and then only about third
could be accommodated at one time.
Messrs. A. P. Guv and w. H. Bush
acted as masters Of ceremony with
headquarters in the kitchen, with ten
or fifteen of the brothers officiating as
pail bearers, and it was due in great
measure to their efficient manipulation
that no casualties resulted. and the
mourners' bench remained vacant. OF
course the ladies partook daintily Of
the delectable viands, but everybody
knows what terrible responsibility
rests on front buttons when Gene
Naylor, Martin Jacobs and John Gould
get squared away at banquet with
no rules governing the contest. They
just simply ate until their inner tubes
refused to be subjected to further
torture. a
The championship is awarded to
these gourmands as matter of course,
and they have successfully defended
it against all comers, but several 9TH
ers should come in for honorable men
tion. Alex. Wright, Fred Sletvold, T.
H. Ferber, Ed Bassingwaite, William
Friedman, Bert Williamson, John Coul-
ter, Jim Nichols, Clay Mccartney and
Jut Bush, while they may not hope to
attain the height of perfection so cas-
lily acquired by the triple champions,
still they are coming along in great
style as understudies and must not be
overlooked when they get one eye on
feed.
After the ducks had been carefully
and painstakingly slowed away, the
floor was cleared and some of the
younger folks enjoyed dancing to Vic
trola music, machine having been
/, installed by Messrs. Simmons & Sal.
veson for the occasion, but the older
men folks were too full to do anything
requiring greater physical exertion
than playing whist.
These duck banquets are becoming
quite the rage and if the birds and
appetites hold out we may see more
of them before the hunting season
closes.
