The corn contest has started out
with bang. Farmers saw the possi-
bilities and gladly enrolled their
names. not solely because of the $3.50
in prizes offered, but because the in
tensive cultivation of their corn fields
in competition will bring them greater
yields. Even if every entrant cannot
hope to grab off the prize money,
those who fail in this respect will have
the satisfaction of getting more BUSH

Gently moved from the Locke block

joyed good patronage and the store
has come to be regarded as fixture.
Mr.. Jackson, the new proprietor,
established the business nearly three
years ago, selling out to Mr.. Denning
last summer and leaving for the west.
We told him before he left that Oakes
was the best place in the world, and
he came all the way back to agree
with our opinion. He has had years
of experience in the merchandising
game and knows it from beginning to
end. Mr.. Jackson was successful
while here before and we predict that
he will be this time.

VAWTER CHAUTAUQUA CLOSES
No Program Given Saturday Because
Of Electric Storm

The chautauqua has come and gone
after giving their scheduled series Of
programs on Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday and Friday Of last week.
The last numbers were to have been
given Saturday, but the storm pre-
vented the afternoon program and
those in charge thought best to call
off the evening entertainment as well,
so the speaker, Mr.. Mills, and the
Barnaby Entertainers left that after
noon for Lidgerwood.
The talent appearing here this year
was not as good as has been seen here
in the past, taken as a whole, al
though several numbers were very
pleasing. The Di Giorgio quartette
made decided impression, and 1.-THE
Bubble" presented Thursday evening,
was especially good. j. F. Conner,
the Minnesota farmer, had a large
audience and sent his hearers away
in a thoughtful mood. Mr.. Rawei, the
New Zealander, delivered very in
teresting speech, "a Gentle Breeze
from Tropic Seas" The speaker, who
is a unique character, appeared in ma
tive costume and his remarks were
listened to with close attention. Most
Of the other numbers were rather me-
diocre, in the opinion Of many who at
tended.
On Friday afternoon an attempt
was made to secure signers to guar
antee the attraction next year, but the
business men and citizens were rather
skittish and no progress was made
Whether this matter is to be taken up
later is not known at this time.
