ed in the holy bonds of matrimony at

and favorably known here. He spent

Receive Magazine from England

The pupils Of the seventh grade
some time ago wrote letters to the
youths Of the corresponding class in
the Oakes Council Boys school, in
Huddersfeld, England. They received
in reply this week "a 28-page magazine
called "The Acorn" gotten out by the
boys Of Standard V, which corresponds
to our seventh grade.
The magazine is entirely hand work,
in ink and water colors. All printing
is hand lettering of the neatest ap-
pearance, and the colored borders and
illustrations show such painstakine
care and proficiency that it is hard to
believe that it is not the work of
grownups, were it not for the explain
atory preface. It is doubtful whether
group Of the local high school stud
ents could be selected who could pro-
duce similar volume approaching in
quality that Of these English boys.
The interchange Of ideas may bring
out phases Of education in which our
pupils are superior to their classmates
across the sea, but at present the boys
of old Albion are in the! lead.
The magazine shows that all is not
q dull grind with the boys Of the
Oakes school Of England. Mention ii
made of concerts and programs put
on by the boys, swimming Glasses,
football games and cricket matches.

WILL ORGANIZE DISTRICT. CAMP
Royal Neighbors Making Preparations
for Interesting Meeting

The Royal Neighbors of Oakes are
making preparations to entertain del
egates from a number of camps at q

April %, in the M. w. A. hall for the
purpose Of organizing district camp.
Glendale, Fullerton, Merricourt, Stir
um, Cogswell, Rutland, Forman, De-
Lamere and Minor will be represented
at the session and if the delegates are
successful in completing the organiza-
tion of district camp it will include
all the lodges of Dickey and Sargent
counties. The desire of officers and
members alike to promote the frater-
nal spirit and perfect the ritualistic
work is primarily responsible for the
calling Of the meeting here.
The morning session will begin at
10 o'clock Friday morning. At this
meeting the camp will be organized,
named and officers elected, and neces-
sary qualifications of members will
be made known. Rules for the regu-
lation Of all future meetings will be
adopted and dates Of holding them

the attention Of the delegates in the
afternoon, beginning at 300 o'clock.
The evening session will open
promptly at 500 o'clock and the rit-
ualistic work. will be exemplified by
the local degree team, which is now
hard at work practicing. A brief pro-
gram will follow this, and the even
ing's entertainment will be brought to
close by a banquet. -
= The meetings will all be conducted
under the direction of Mesdames Cliff
and Holling, head officers Of the or
ganization, who urge that local bust
ness places be decorated in the Royal

PLAN ANOTHER
CORN CONTEST
Two Hundred Dollars in Prizes Offered
for Five Best Forty Acre
Fields
COMMERCIAL CLUB BACK OF IT
Proposition Somewhat Similar to One
Held Last Year

At meeting of the Oakes Com
mercial club held in Oakes Tuesday
it was decided to continue the 4O-Acre
Corn contest on a plan very similar
to the contest held last year.
Two hundred dollars in prizes will
be awarded as follows: First prize,
$4,000; second prize, $4,000; third
prize, $25.00; fourth prize, $500;
fifth prize, $1,000. ----- ~.
Any farmer living within the terri
tory prescribed last year is eligible
to enter the contest. The judging will
be done by an outside party on the
basis of the following score card: 300
for cleanliness of field; 3Ore for yield
of mature corn; 2Oes for stand; 2OM
for purity of variety.
The entrance fee is one dollar, which
must be sent to the secretary Of the
Commercial club not later than June
1. Seventy-five members must be Sc
cured by that time, or the Commercial
club reserves the right to discontinue
the contest. All funds for the prizes
are to be donated by the business men
of Oakes, and the entrance fee is to be
used to pay advertising expenses. The
idea of the Commercial club is to have
every farmer who plants forty acres
Of corn entered in the contest, and to
encourage a larger acreage of corn.
Sixty-three forty-acre fields were en-
tered in the contest last year. The
first prize of $250.00 was won by AL
bert Larson of Glover.
Now is the tire 70 start prepara-
tions for the contest. Pure seed should
be used, and should be tested for ger
mination in order to insure a good
stand. Early preparation of the seed
bed will help in the fight against the
weeds. Send your entry card togeth-
er with the one dollar at once to w. r.
Whitver, secretary of the Commercial
club at Oakes, and start the ball roll
ing. Someone within the twenty mile
square which has Oakes for its center
will win the money. You have as good
a chance as anyone else.

"soPHs" ENTERTAIN SENIORS
Affair is Success in Spite of Unfavor-
able Weather Conditions

The high school sophomores last
week invited the seniors to a picnic
to be held in the grove near Bear
Creek, but owing to a number Of cir
cumstances it was postponed until
Monday, and then again until Tues
day. As the hour of departing ap-
preached on Tuesday the weather was
not very auspicious in its promises,
but it seemed to be the consensus of
opinion that the event had been post
poned enough times already, and all
but few faint-hearted faculty men,
bers started merrily forth.
By the time they reached the grove
blizzard was raging, and it was de-
cided to>come back to school to roast
the hot dogs and marshmallows and
pickles and other viands that made up
part of the cargo. Those who had no
hankering to carry autos through the
mud sneaked back on foot down the
track. The others took turns riding
in the cars and staggering along
through the soft spots dragging the
autos with them. Those who had tri-
umphantly piled into the more luxur-
ious big cars on the outward trip now
looked longingly and regretfully at
their envied companions who were in
stalled in the more humble Fords-
said Henrys being so tremendously
much more easy to pick up and carry
out Of mudhole than a Paige, for in
stance, or a Nash sedan.
In spite Of difficulties, even those
who were handicapped in their home
ward stroll by having an auto fol
hand baggage finally got back to the
school house, with appetites rendered
almost ferocious by the snappy exer-
else in the keen fresh air. The domes.
tic science room was packed with hun.
cry humans, roasting "dogs," the ar
orna Of coffee and the smoke Of the
kerosene stoves, and a babel Of
tongues. All forma1ity was cast aside
and there is little doubt but that the
picnic will be remembered by all those
present as one Of the high spots Of
the school year, bigger success than
if it had gone off just as planned.

Minneapolis Men Coming


A letter received by President Sci
fert of the Oakes Commercial club
from Secretary j. E. Tatam of the
Minneapolis Civic and Commerce as
sociation contains the information that
fifty or more representatives of that
organization will be in Oakes the ev-
ening Of May %. The Minneapolis
men will come in a special train,
bringing their own band and several
good public speakers, prepared to take
the lead in a splendid get-together
meeting. They will remain all night,
leaving Saturday morning for the
west. These trade tours usually are
gala affairs. The st. Paul trip year
and a half ago viii be remembered as
a splendid example. Mr.. Tatam ex-
poets to reach Oakes in about ten
days to complete arrangements for
the reception Of the party. The fol-
lowing clipping taken from the Minne-
apolis Journal of April 13 will be of
interest:
with the receipt of check from
Mayor Geo. A. Leach along with his
reservation for the 1922 Minneapolis
business mems trade tour, the official
success Of the trade campaign is as
sured, Geo. c. Jones, chairman Of the
Civic and Commerce association, said.
More than fifty other reservations
have been received. Mayor Leach's
appearance will make the first on any
trade tour for a mayor Of Minneapo-
lis. He has gone before as private
citizen. A letter from w. ]. Seifert,
president Of the Cakes Commercial
club, Of Cakes, N. D., assured the tour
lists Of hearty welcome on their stop
there. The itinerary. calls for a Sec
ond nights stop at Cakes" ..
