Women Take a Hand

In response to letter from Mayor
C. E. Knox, a number of influential
women met with the mayor, superin-
tendent of schools and city attorney
Monday afternoon. The need of par
ents and teachers association was pre-
sented and it was unanimously voted
that steps be taken to form such an
organization. A committee was chos-
en- to meet with Supt. Gould for this
purpose. The women present promis-
ed hearty cooperation in this, and it
is believed that such an organization
will prove of great benefit to the COM
munity.
It was also recommended that the
city park be well lighted and patrol
led; that police matron be appointed
to supervise public dances, to see that
there is no improper dancing, and al
low no boy or girl sixteen years Of
age or under to attend public dances;
that the curfew hour be 9:3O p. m. in
stead Of 900 p. m. during the summer
months and that the law be strictly
enforced; that the quarantine laws be
strictly enforced. 80

WIN IN DEFAMATION CONTEST
verna voight and ]. D. Smith Jr. will
Represent Oakes at Grand Forks

The final defamation contest to
determine the two students who will
represent the Oakes high school in
the state contest in Grand Forks next
week was held Tuesday evening in the
high school assembly room. Each
student in the high school, as part Of
the English work, was required to
deliver defamation from the list
Of authors sent out by the University,
and by a series Of eliminatory con-
tests one boy and one girl had been
selected from each Of the four classes
to compete in the final trial for the
honor of representing the high school
in the state meet.
Those participating in the contest
Tuesday were Verna Voight and Rod
erick Liddell for the seniors, Margaret
Brennan and Clark Smith for the jun
iors, Zella Mccartney and Bert Hazel
for the sophomores, and Lovey Gran
salke and j. D. Smith, Jr., for the
freshmen. The high school orchestra
played and Miss Even sang to add
variety to the program.
Oakes is entitled to send one boy
and one girl to take part in the state
contest, SO the boys and girls were
judged separately. The judges, Mrs.
Gross, Mrs. Worner and Mr.. Della
Hunt, announced as their decision that
Verna Voight and ]. D. Smith were
first in their respective groups, Zella
Mccartney ranking second among the
girls and Roderick Liddell among the
boys.
Mrs. Denning was coach Of the two
upper classes, and Miss Even of the
two lower, so honors were evenly di-
vided between the two coaches.

MAY Be INSANE
Elmer Schermerhorn Brought Befor,
Justice Fischer at Redheld
Wednesday
is HELD ON THREE CHARGES
Examination for Insanity May Result
in Confinement at Yankton

Elmer Schermerhorn, 16-year-old
boy murderer, was brought before JUS
tice G. w. Fischer at Redfeld We'd
nesday morning Of last week to an
swer to the charges of murder held
against him in the tragedy of the
Schermerhorn home on April 20.
The lad may be held on three charg-
es: That Of murder in the death of
his mother from shot from a 90 rifle
in the hands of the defendant, assault
with intent to kill, in the action of the
boy when his father appeared, when
he shot second time, inflicting bull
let wound in the mans neck, and a
third charge Of attempted suicide.
The young man was bound over to
circuit court with bonds and he is now
in Jail, where he was taken immedi-
ately after the warrant was sworn out
for his arrest on Tuesday afternoon.
It is probable that the boy will be
turned over to the insanity board for
examination and confinement to the
state asylum at Yankton, and all
charges against him withdrawn.

MRS. BUsH's PUPILS IN RECITAL
Large Audience Present to Enjoy
Musical Treat

A musical recital was given by the
piano pupils Of Mrs. w. H. Bush last
Thursday evening at the M. E. church
to capacity house, the audience
showing its appreciation by the mark
ed attention paid to the entire pro-
gram.
The pupils ranged from little tots
under school age to those about to fin
ish high school, and from this diff
cult combination a most interesting
program was arranged. The solos
and duets rendered showed much abil-
ity and practice on the part Of the
young musicians. While all deserve
favorable comment, we cannot refrain
from making special mention of few.
Little Marguerite Meunier played a
very pretty accompaniment while she
sang "a Dolls Lullaby" by Rusby,
which would have been difficult for a
much older player. Harvey Jackson
saT Twittering Birds" by Fitzpatrick,
displayed the development Of talent
which gives promise of bright future
in the musical world. Janet johnson
and Edna Harrison, who have several
times entertained Oakes audiences,
were quite up to standard in their
rendition Of the duet entitled "The
Bridal Procession" as we'll as in their
solo work. Lorna Stock, Cecile Webb
and Grace Aasen showed good inter-
pretative ability.
Only space forbids the mention of
each one of the older class, for all
merited much praise.
The two choruses, "Merry Sunshine
and "Sunbeams," so gracefully por-
trayed by several little girls, were
composed, both words and music, by
Mrs. Bush, as were also part of the
verses Of the pianologues pleasingly
given by Lois McPhail.
The scarf drill, also Mrs. Bush's
composition, given by nine girls, was
one Of the prettiest drills ever seen in
Oakes. The long scarfs, matching in
colors the dresses Of the girls, were
charmingly blended in the rhythmic
dip and sway of the performers, and
presented a fascinating scene.
The success Of the recital fully re-
paid both teacher and class for the
vast amount Of time and labor de-
voted to it, and all who heard it were
surprised at the appreciation Of mu-
sic which each member has acquired
through diligent study.
A silver offering of $16.77 was taken
at the close and given to the church.

Legion Auxiliary Sale is Success

The ladies Of the American Legion
Auxiliary were we'll pleased with the
result of their sale held last Satur-
day at the Legion pavilion. The men,
bers Of the organization had worked
faithfully for several months in prep
aration for the event, but felt well re-
paid for their labors after checking
up the days receipts, having cleared
about $500 on the venture. In spite
of the threatening weather, there was
a good attendance at the exhibit and
nearly all the articles made by the
ladies were disposed Of soon after
opening.
Things sold so quickly that many
were disappointed in not being able
to get what they wanted, as a result
of which the Auxiliary has enough or
ders for future delivery to keep them
busy for some time. The display of
basket work, ETC., made by disabled
soldiers, sold well also, and neat
sum was realized to be returned to
the boys in hospitals. Large guam
titles of sandwiches, coffee, ice cream
and cake were dispensed by those in
charge Of serving refreshments, who
were kept on the jump all afternoon.
The members Of the Auxiliary are
grateful to the public for the liberal
patronage accorded their enterprise,
and to various individuals and bust
ness firms for the many courtesies
extended them. @ 2.

KatO Chooses
Able Members
for Jap Cabinet

TOXIC, July 1.-THE time elapsing
since the installation of the Kato cab
met has confirmed the judgment
passed on that day-that Admiral
Baron Kato picked a group Of re-
markably strong and efficient men
for his ministers. 1t should be a
successful cabinet for a time, but if
longer than the next meeting Of the
diet, it will be due to the sheer dom
ination of the premier. the same man
who kept the delegates at the Wash
ington conference guessing as to just
what Japan was going to do.
That fact Is explained when it is
shown that although the ministers
are exceedingly efficient adminIstra-
tors they are all-save Premier Kato
and General Yamanashi, minister of
war-members of the House of Peers;
in short, bureaucrats of the first or
der. Some were members of the
short-lived Terauchi cabinet, which
went in during 1916, and others were
assigned posts in the cabinet that
Viscount Kiyoura failed to complete
in 1914, following the famous naval
scandal which caused the downfall of
Admiral Count Yamamoto, a man
now retired, who had a big influence
in helping the Genrom form the Kato
ministry.

PUBLIC COAL IS

Billions of Tons Hidden in

WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE pub
lie coal pile. yet to be dug, includes
ten billion tons of bituminous, thirty
billion tons of sub-bituminous and
fifty billion tons of ignite, all tucked
away by nature in neat layers under
public lands.
It's yours. too, enough to last gen
erations. Experts say will have a
supply for $50 years. probably longer.
because they are finding more effici-
ent ways Of using it,
For instance, instead of hauling the
coal from mines across country tc
cities. burning up enormous amounts
en- route in locomotives. they are now
planning to burn it at the mine. make
electricity. and ship that to cities over
wires. In fact they expect to see
everything electrified by the time youl
newsboy is a grandfather.
Backbone of Supply
The backbone of our future power
supply will be the water power re
sources. but at mornings and eve
nings. when all the street cars are
running, the coal supply will come in
handy TO steam up auxiliary power
plants for the peak loads.
This public coal supply IS located ir

cific coast or Rocky Mountain region
Besides that there is more in Alaska
Fields in Alaska
The Alaska fields have been tapped
slightly by the Navy, which has just
turned its mine over to private con
Germ for development on royalty
basis. That is the system in practice
now.
When we really get down to devel
oping these coal resources in a seri
Gus way. the royalties will aggregate
almost six billion dollars, Secretary
Fall estimates.
OF course, he is inclined TO be a bit
generous with the developers to en-
courage them to invest their money in
mine shafts, as he admits. The con
servationists might get more in the
way of a royalty. If they could per
suade anly one to dig the coal on their

OUT OF FRYING
PAN into FIRE
ON DYE ISSUE
Government Faces Triple Prob
lem in German Patent
Rights.
BIZ LEO r. SACK.
Times STAFF Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-If the
Administration wins its fight to force
the return of 4,700 patients turned
over to the Chemical Foundation by
the former alien property custodian.
and once more finds itself trustee for
those valuable German, Austrian and
Hungarian formulas, it will fine
new set of troubles on its hands.
The Chemical Foundation, in which
the Duponts are influential factors.
will not surrender easily. Nor viii
the hundreds of American concerns
to which the patents have been al
lotted, and which have invested mil
lions in manufacture under their rev
patent rights.
Three Questions Involved
There are three questions involved
Will the patents be returned 10 their
original foreign owners?
Will there be a stipulation, If this
is done, that the old German mcnop-
oily which held up prices for drugs
and dyes be dissolved to create conB-
petition?
Will there be a stipulation whereby
manufacture may continue in Amer
lea. under proper supervision to pre-
vent monopoly?
No Indication of Course
Thus far the Administration has
offered no indication of its probable
course. Government officials are frank
to say that they wish to avoid all
possibility of transferring these valu-
able patents from one monopoly to
another.
A full year may eiapse before the
main question-return OF the patents
is settled.
In the meantime, the. country will
hear a great many charges. counter
charges and explanations as to why
$40. 900, 900 worth of patents were sold
for S273,0 and bought by an Or
ganization headed by the very man
who sold them.
