Elgin Cafe Offers Box of Chocolates
for Second Best Story

Last week the Times offered prize
Of $1,000 for the best original article
written by school student on the
subject, "The Advantages Of Buying
in Oakes." At the same time we sug-
gested that it might be good idea
for local business men, who will be
distinctly benefited by the publication
of these articles, to supplement our
offer with other prizes. Manager
Charpentier of the New Elgin is the
only one who has responded, as yet,
but surely there will be others. Mr..
Charpentier authorizes US to state
that he will offer pound box of choc-
olates, to go as second prize. In case
anybody offers better one, this will
60 to the writer of the third best
article.
As yet no budding literary genius
has deigned to notice our offer, at
least to the extent Of mailing in the
contribution, but perhaps they are
thinking the proposition over in order
to be able to write something really
worth while.
There are hundreds of reasons why
it pays to buy in Cakes, and hundreds
Of angles to each reason. We live
here, or near here, and are interested
in the development of this city, di-
rectly or indirectly. If everybody in
Oakes and the adjoining territory
would see that all their purchases
were made right here, the city would
be double its present size in five
years, or less time than that. Land
values, never too high, would double
or triple; we would be able to finish
the best school in North Dakota de-
spite the poor start made; commun-
ity building would become reality in
stead of dream; stores would spring
up.as if by magic; wonderful new
residences would dot the landscape,
and hundreds Of other desirable i'm
provements would be made. Cakes
would become the shopping center Of
southeastern North Dakota, people
would come here from fifty to seventy
FIVE miles in every direction, and q
great many travelling salesmen would
make Oakes their headquarters. Peo-
pie would flock to this city like flies
to cake, and-oh, well, the possibil-
tiles are unlimited, SO why endeavor
to enumerate them?
We have the best city in the state,
size considered, right now, but let's
make it better and bigger.
These and many other ideas may
well be worked into an article on "The
Advantages of Buying in Oakes," and
endlessly elaborated upon. Get out
the old pen, pencil or typewriter, and
start on that article today. You will
be doing the community distinct SER
vice and-you may win that ten dol
lars, who knows? At any rate, it's
worth the effort.
We are all ready to receive the first
bunch Of contributions. Don't keep
US waiting. And, Mr.. Business Man,
don't you realize the enormous benefit
you will derive from the publication
of these articles? Get busy and offer
a little prize Of your own.

Klaus ]. Storvik

One more of the pioneers has an
swered the summons.
Klaus J. Storvik passed away We'd
nesday, Dec. 13, 1922, at his home,
aged "a years, months and 9 days,
after a lingering illness.
Mr.. Storvik was born at Mosjoen,
Norway, Oct. 4th, 1848, and came to
America in 1887. On Nov. a, 1889, he

located on their farm near Oakes,
where they have resided since.
Six children came to bless this un-
ion, all Of whom survive except one
daughter.

MUST AGREE IF
AMERICA ACTS
United States Loan to Germany De.
pends Upon Attitude Taken by
"a '' Britain and France
TO PARTICIPATE IN DISCUSSION
Germany Welcomes Idea of Having
United States Take Part

Adjustment of the reparations dis
pute between London and Paris is the
crux of the European tangle in the
American viewpoint, it was stated in
Washington Monday on competent
authority. Talk of any American loan
to Germany was described as idle"
until such an adjustment had been
made.
1t also was made clear that the
question Of allied war debts to the
United States is not viewed in Wash
ington as involved in the Anglo
French differences as to the amount
Germany can pay. Beyond this, Of
ficial spokesmen refused to go in out
lining what the Washington govern
ment has in mind.
With the field of speculation thus
narrowed, however, it was evident in
unofficial talk that the administration
hopes that American influence can aid
in the European situation were quite
generally believed to be based on pos
sibilities of bringing British and
French thought into harmony as to
Germany's present economic plight.
Since time lacks for any lengthy in
vestigation Of that point before ex-
piration of the moratorium Jan. Is,
there was a tendency to believe that
the Washington government had some
hope of causing at least a delay in
definite action by France after that
time.
In this connection, it is known that
in some diplomatic quarters an inn
preston prevails that American par
ticipation in some form when the
council Of premiers resumes its ses-
sions in Paris Jan. 2, is to be ex-
pected.
Presumably Germany is not only
willing, but anxious that the Wash
ington government join in the dis
cussions Of renarations. It also was
indicated in Paris and London this
month, before the council Of premiers
met, that an American representative
to sit with the premiers officially or
unofficially would be acceptable.
So far as various proposals for
cancellation Of the French war debt
to the United States is concerned, the
attitude in Washington is that nothing
can be done in that connection, in ad-
vance Of a reparation agreement.
The natural reply Of France, it has
been pointed out, either would be to
ask favorable adjustment Of the
French debt to the United States, or
to say that, lacking the formal as
surances Of Great Britain and the
United States to come to her aid II
she again was attacked, France must
proceed toward her own protection ~
seems best to her.

COUNTY AGENT WORK STOPPED
Action is Taken BY Commissioners at
Last Meeting

One Of the last actions taken by the
retiring board Of county commission
ers was to discontinue the services Of
the county agent, effective January 1.
The reason given for this action was
that is was necessary to reduce the
expense.
This in spite Of the fact that the
vote in the recent election showed
1908 in favor Of continuing the work
and only 1913 against it; 25- out Of
80 precincts showed that majority
of the voters wished the extension
work continued.
The plan Of the commissioners is to
have all lines Of extension service, in
cluding boys and girls club work,
handled by one man.
Many people believe that the club
leader snd county agent both cover
the same ground, but careful exam
ination Of their annual reports will
show that they are both kept busy
every working day in the year and
that they have organized their work
to save on mileage and other ex-
penses whenever possible.
For the past four years Dickey coun-
ty has hired both county agent and
boys and girls club leader. The
work in both these lines has grown to
such an extent that it is now impos-
sible for any one man to cover the
same field as Mr.. Penn and Mr.. Adams
have covered during the past year.
Either boys and girls club work or
the work with men and women must
be neglected If only one man is re-
tained.
The action came as somewhat Of .
surprise to those interested in extern
sion work, for it was thought that the
vote settled the question. No doubt
the commissioners felt that they were
acting for the best interests Of the
county. An effort will be made "a
have the question fencoaidered at the
January meeting.

CHECK EXPERT

Succeeds in Passing Worthless Paper
on Local Business Men, then
Escapes After Arrest
PROMISED HE WOULD PAY UP
Authorities Unable to. Find Trace Of
Culprit

Offering bad checks in payment for
merchandise, hotel bills, hall rent, etc.,
is becoming just a little too prevalent
to suit some Of those who have to foot
the bills-and no wonder.
About ten days ago a smooth
tongued young man selected Oakes as
a likely place in which to ply his trade
and as result Of his activities sew
eral Of our business houses, including
the Home hotel, both banks and the
Leader company, have cheeked up on
the wrong side of the ledger. He gave
his personal check to each Of these
institutions in payment Of goods or
services and in each instance the pa
per was accepted in good faith. After
the checks had reached the bank on
which they were drawn and informa-
tion had been received to the effect
that they were worthless, the man,
whose name we will refrain from pub
fishing just now, was arrested in
Wishek and brought back here for
trial. He was lehiently dealt with on
his promise to make good, and was
placed in the city bastile while await
ing the arrival Of funds with which to
1iquidate. His brother, at his own
request, was confined with him to keep
him company. 4. Is !.

SUNDAY SCHOOL HONOR SUPPER
Splendid Program Adds Zest to the
Occasion

An event eagerly anticipated for
months by the Methodist Sunday
school was enjoyed by capacity At
tendance last Thursday evening. IS
It was named "Honor Supper" and
was held in the church dining room.
A first honor table was prepared
for those who had not been absent a
Sunday in six months, and the ar
rangements and decorations were most
artistic. Those seated at this table
were: Supt. L. E. Davidson and three
children, Lucille, Earl and Glenn, Mrs,
Geo. Dill, Geo. Pfeifer, Lille Denning,
Hattie Craig, Martha Blazer, Mary
Maud Mcconnell, Henry Marks, Alli-
son Denning, Bruce Blazer and Phoebe
Roberts. Wilbur Blazer, who was eli
gible to place, was absent on account
of serious accident.
The second table, for those not hav-
ing missed more than five Sundays,
had also the marks Of art in decora-
tion. Its seventy guests cannot be
named, except their senior, Mother
Denning. About ,225 in all were at
the tables. !, atl. 3.
Y. The high school orchestra furnish
ed music preceding and following the
supper. Vocal solos by ]. c. Gould
and Hazel Kortner, reading by
Juanita Price and an address by J. D.
Smith constituted the program. The
assembly deeply appreciated the var
ious numbers on the program, being
especially, emphatic in their praise Of
the music offered by the orchestra
It is doubtful whether Oakes recog.
nizes the very talented musical COM
bination which is hers in the present
high school orchestra. Certain of the
young people possess talent which may
not be equaled again in a generation
and they are under the leadership Of
thoroughly capable superintendent
