MINNEAPOLIS
MEN COMING
Large Number of Business Men Plan
to Reach Oakes the Evening
of May %
PROGRAM is BEING PREPARED
Tour Similar to One Made by st. Paul
Wholesalers Two Years Ago

The encouraging feature of plans
for the 1922 trade tour being planned
by the Minneapolis Commercial club
was the interest aroused among the
real business leaders of the city with
the first announcement of the trip
which will consume the week of May
% to 27. A number made reserva-
tions at once and were quickly fol-
lowed by others with the result that
although the trip is about three weeks
away, space on the train is at q
premium.
1--WE have seen no better indication
of the prosperity that lies in the
grasp of the northwest than the very
promptness with which Minneapolis
business houses have grasped the OPP
portunity to visit their friends, which
is presented to them in the trade tour"
said Frank T. HeRelfinger, president
Of the Civic and Commerce associa-
tion. "Firms which in the past have
not considered it necessary in addition
to their other means of reaching their
trade to go on these tours Of which
the present is the ninth, were among
the first to sign up for space. All
seem to realize the new life which has
been instilled into business and are
eager to be in the forefront Of every
effort designed to speed up the favor
able trend Of conditions"
About eighty communities in Min
nesota and North Dakota will be Wis
tied, the 500 line, Northern Pacific
and Great Northern all being involved
in the movement Of the special. On
the train will be Col. Geo. E. Leach,
who commanded the crack 15lst field
artillery Of the Rainbow division dur
ing the war and who now is mayor Of
Minneapolis.
As usual the party will be accom-
panied by band which in the present
case will be the old band Of the 151st
field artillery. Not only the business
men, but the women and children Of
the communities to be visited, will be
greatly interested in the musical and
entertainment programs to be put on.
Thousands Of souvenirs will be dis
tributed enroute. In some instances
the communities are arranging to dis
miss the schools when the tour visit
is during school hours. This will en-
able the children to hear the famous
artillery band and to get their usual
fun out of the souvenirs.
The Oakes Commercial club is max
ing preparations to receive the Mime
apolis men in a fitting manner.

Celebrate Anniversary

The local Odd Fellows lodge held a
meeting last Thursday evening, the
occasion being the 1O3rd anniversary
Of the founding Of this great fraternal
organization. A large number were
in attendance and the meeting was .
most interesting one. A brief pro-
gram was given and short talks were
made by Brothers L. T. Armstrong,
L. E. Reko, ]. d. Scott, Herbert
Knock, ST., Lars Void, s. w. Teal, o.
H. McGrew, X. H. Stohl and E. F.
Handy. Deputy Grand Master Wick
ersham Of Glendale was unable to It
tend owing to confusion Of dates.
The giving Of the program was some
thing Of an innovation, inasmuch as
heretofore on anniversary dates the
lodge members have attended church
in body. Tonight school Of in
struction will be given, in charge Of
State Instructor j. d. Scott. The
District meeting will be held in Oakes
on May 18.

1921 WOOLP0OL
IS Big SUCCESS
Farmers Received More Money Than
Would Have Been Possible By
Individual Shipping
MOST GROWERS ARE SATISFIED
>27,1s7 Pounds Shipped Through the
Federation Last Year

Dickey county wool growers mar
keted 27,187 pounds of wool through
the North Dakota federation last year.
At the time it was shipped the best
price offered locally was Is cents per
pound. The final sale netted the
shippers an average of 10 cents per
pound. The returns were promptly
made and most of the growers are
well satisfied.
This is welcome news to the wool
growers, for many Of them were dis
appointed in the returns the previous
year. A complete summary Of the
prices received by the state pool are
included in the following statement
by VIM. Guy, secretary Of the state
federation:
"The 1921 wool pool has been sue
cess in every respect. The entire pool
was sold January % direct to eastern
wooien mills. Good prices were re-
ceived, although the market has since
advanced about six cents per pound.
The following prices were received for
the main grades delivered east: Fine
and fine medium, 27.s6 cents per b.;
half blood, 1886 cents; 3-8 blood, e.
72 cents; IA blood, 1925 cents; re-
jects (14h% Of entire pool) 1857 cts.
aThe. 1921 pool was sold and the
returns gotten out to the growers
without excess storage or insurance or
an unreasonable amount Of delay. The
costs Of operating are being held to >
minimum. Good connections have
been made with eastern markets, 20
that all dealers and SPECTATORS have
been eliminated; in fact the consiesllR
to the pool is assured Of efficient 4.
vice in every respect. SSs' s'
"The market is just 1000 bsktsr
than it was q year ago. Ut this tine.
Wools that would net the grove
cents a year ago should have RI
trouble in netting ~ cents on TIL
present market. This increase il d.
mand and price is all due 70 the e&s
fects Of the emergency tari6 secured
a year ago this May ~ 4 result of
the aggressive action taken BY the
various wool growers associations
and the Farm Bureau. The one cent
per pound that the consignors to the
state pool contributed to the mainte-
nance Of the state and county wool
growers associations helped TO get
this increase in price. Without the
aggressive stand taken by the asso-
Citations, 10 tariff would have been
secured"

CHR. PETERSEN.
PASSES AWAY
Aged Resident Succumbs to Attack of
Heart Failure After Illness of
Several Months
ONE OF PIONEERS OF OAKEs
Came to This City from Denmark
Thirty Five Years Ago

Christen Petersen, one of the pio-
neer residents Of Oakes, passed away
at his home in this city Monday even
ing at 9:20 o'clock, at the ripe old age
Of eighty years.
It was known that Mr.. Petersen's
health had been poor for several
months, but the end came as shock
to the people Of this community, who
had not realized that his condition was
critical.
Mr.. Petersen was born in Copen-
hagen, Denmark, Dec. 9, 1841, and liv-
ed in that country until as years Of
age, working at his trade, that Of a
cigar maker. He was Danish war
veteran, and belonged to the Danish
Lutheran church. He emigrated to
America IS years ago, coming direct
to Oakes, and has been continuous
resident Of this city since that time.
Immediately upon his arrival he open
ed cigar store and his place of bust
ness has been a landmark for years.
About five years after locating here
his building was destroyed by the fire
that razed the north side of Union
street between the Klein & Sutmar
corner and the Vinkle hotel. He i'm
mediately set about the task Of re-
building, however, and soon was going
along as though nothing had happened.
He has been one Of the most familiar
figrues in the city for years and will
be greatly missed by our people, as
he was quiet, unassuming, honorable
man, one we can i'll afford to lose.
He leaves wife and one daughter,
Mrs. ]. E. Bunday, besides host Of
friends, to mourn his death. Another
daughter, Christine, passed to the
great beyond three years ago during
the influenza epidemic. Neither Mr..
Petersen or his wife ever fully re-
covered from this shock, and it il
more than likely that it was a con-
tribating influence toward his own
demise.
Funeral services were conducted
from the Methodist church Wednes-
day afternoon at 200 o'clock, in
charge Of Revs. Doty and Smith. Ev-
cry business house in the city closed
during the funeral as mark Of re-
spect to the departed. Interment took
place in the Cakes cemetery.

The interior of the Peterson furni-

appearance this week and looks like a
real metropolitan display room. A
new linoleum rug has been laid in the
front part Of the room and the furni-

view from the street. It's such cozy
place that one can hardly resist the
temptation to make purchases.

RECITAL IS GREATLY ENJOYED
Miss Craig's Pupils Show Wonderful
Ability as Musicians

A crowd that filled the M. E. church
to capacity plus packed itself in to
enjoy the recital by the piano pupils
Of Eleanor Craig last Thursday ev-
ening. Those who were there need
no recounting Of the various numbers,
and for the few who were not present
it would be q herculean task to at
tempt detailed account Of the pro-
gram. But an event Of this import
ance to those who took part, and to
the community as a whole, deserves
honorable mention in the chronicle Of
the weeks happenings.
Some "a of the pupils of Miss Craig
appeared in piano numbers, variety
being added to the program by a
trombone solo by Kermin Smith and a
vcsal number by Miss Even. Miss
Ewen's rich contralto voice has been
heard and enjoyed many time since
she came to Oakes to take charge of
the music department Of the city
schools, but probably never more eff
fectively than in Tosti's beautiful SER
enade, which she sang last Thursday.
Not the least part of this number was
the obligato melody running through
out, played by Henry Schiesser. The
blending Of voice and violin was most
effective. Kermin Smith is not as
we'll known to Oakes, some of those
in the audience hearing him for the
first time in Thursdays program. The
trueness and smoothness of his tones
and the ease with which he executed
the most difficult cadenzas mark him
as a trombone artist Of class not
often found in cities the size of Oakes.
Mrs. ]. F. Nichols played the piano
accompaniments.
But, enjoyable as these special num-
bers were, the real reason why the
big crowd was there was to hear the
children and young people in their
rendition of the various numbers that
had been memorized by them to evil
dence their proficiency upon the piano.
The program opened with short selec-
tions by the younger pupils, some Of
them not yet old enough to attend the
public schools, and ranged up to young
people Of high school age, with their
longer and much more difficult num-
bers. To the uninitiated, at least, the
ability displayed by these young mu-
sicians, both small and large, was lit
tie short Of marvellous. Training
such as theirs means much to the
musical future Of the community. And
to the little people especially, the ex-
perience Of appearing before crowd
like that, alone and with not even a
sheet Of music upon which to depend,
cannot but develop degree Of self
reliance that will be Of great value.
The success Of the recital reflects
great credit upon the result-getting
abilities Of Miss Craig as a teacher.
The parents would naturally be ex-
pected to turn out to hear their own
children perform, but the size Of the
crowd Of auditors who came out to
hear something they expected would
be worth while is evidence. that the
public generally has a high estimate
Of Miss Craig's ability.

PLAY COMEDY OF REAL MERIT
Will Be Given in Presbyterian Church
Basement Friday and Saturday

The seniors have been busy this
week putting the finishing touches
upon their class play, Fifty Fifty" ,"

fecting the arrangements generally.
A stage has been built in the cemmun-
ity gym in the basement Of the Pres
bytetiah church, and all 10 practically
in, sra1dinSss for the curtain call. In
ofdsk u accommodate the crowd that
expeet q take in this play and give
ill an opportunity to attend, it will be
presented both Friday and Saturday
evenings at S:15. The high school
orchestra will furnish special music at
both performances.
Warren Ferber and Roderick Lid
dell, as Paul Green, the author, and
playwright, and Henry Brown, the
painter, are the principal characters.
Lois McPhail and lone Roberts take
the parts Of May Dexter and Sophie
Bland, the young women in whom
these young men are especially inter-
ested. These four have the heaviest
part Of the work to do.
Other characters furnish lot Of
the comedy with which the play
abounds. Mrs. Podge, the rooming
house keeper, who had never had q
breath Of scandal about her place un-
til Paul and Henry became tangled
in their prevarications, is played by
Bernice Reko. Francis Brennan, as
Patrick O'Malley, the janitor-tailor,
locks up all but one Of the friends
suits, which one they are obliged to
share fifty-fifty, with ensuing COM
plications. Lawrence Ditch, as Paul
Green, the sea captain, is the innocent
cause Of a mistaken identity. Verna
Voight, as Josephine Anna, his wife,
Of none too gentle temper, causes no
little CONSERVATION by her demands.
Smudge, the colored valet, provides a
lot Of laughs in the final act, thanks
to the ability Of George Buck.
Mrs. Hewley, who starts of the
fireworks by purchasing picture Of
Henry's, was to have been portrayed
by Nellie May Root. The quarantine
Of the Root home five days before the
date Of the play necessitated q sud-
den change IN the cast Of characters.
Thanks to- the number Of talented
members Of the class, there were sew
:eral who were willing to step into the
breach and work up the part ON such
short notice. Eva Kallestad was a.
