High School Receives Publicity
v The Oakes high school 10 receiving
lot Of free advertising this fall,
through the medium Of 12-page
pamphlet -ssnt out by The Independ-
ent, one Of the leading magazines Of
the United States.
Students Of the English III class,

At the close Of the course they wrote
short articles describing the value Of
the magazine for class room use, in
competition for a prize offered by the
publishers. No word has come as to
the success Of the class in obtaining
any of the awards offered, but copies
Of the pamphlet mentioned above were
received in Oakes this week, in which
one whole page is given over to "The
Story Of a North Dakota Schoolroom,
Cakes High School, Oakes, N. D." In
the center Of the page is a box con-

CAN COOK HAM AND CABBAGE
Prettiest Girl In the United States
Knows the Kitchen.

Being beautiful does not take all
ones time. One can be pretty and
still be quite intimate with kitchen
utensils, according to Mary Katherine
Campbell Of Columbus, Ohio, who
ought to know. i.
Miss Campbell was crowned national
beauty queen for 1922 in the annual
pageant at Atlantic City. She is 16
years old, feet inches in height,
and weighs 1873 pounds. She swims,
rides, dances, and goes to school.
The young beauty takes pride in
being able to cook a well-seasoned
dish Of ham and cabbage.
She was picked as Americas most
beautiful girl from a group Of ITO
prize winners. representing as many
different towns and cities in the Unit
ed States.
Miss Campbell is a wholesome, mid
western miss just out Of high school
and, wonder Of wonders, helps mother
cook and wash the dishes.
Marriage, she blushingly admits, is
at least four years away, although she
has confessed seven proposals already,
The man Of her dreams-well, he
should be tall, slightly interested in
athletics, good-humored and-not toe
handsome. He can be either rich OF
poor, if she loves him.
Cole Phillips, famous illustrator and
artist, who was one Of the judges in
the contest, said Of Miss Campbell:
."Years ago the nation was thrilled
by the so-called Gibson girl. In the
last few years two types Of beauty
have usurped her place. These are
the type that Flo Ziegfeld has exploit
ed, and the Mary Pickford type.
"Neither Of these girls in my opin-
ion really typifies the American girl
Instead, should say she more nearly
approximates Miss Campbell's ap.
pearance. The type I mean is rather
tall, with straight lines, broad shoul-
ders, free swing to her body and a
clear, intelligent face. She is rather
athletic"

Teachers, Institute

The annual teachers institute for
Dickey county will occur in the Nor
NAL school chapel at Glendale Septem-
Der 25-29, inclusive, and very splen-
did session is anticipated. The week
occurs little early in the school term
but was the only date the state de-
partment could give us until Novem-
Der, which is too late to give teachers
the greatest amount of help.
Mrs. Martha Tatem, one of the state
rural school inspectors, will be the
conductor and Mrs. Mabel CAM, who
was with US last year, the primary in
structor. Miss Nelson writes that
a number Of outside speakers will be
sent, including a noted lecturer whose
name has not yet been announced.
She plans to be with us one day her
self and among other interesting items
writes, eve will do the best we can
to give you the best institute that
Dickey county has ever had"
A new feature this year will be the
high school department which will be
conducted Thursday and Friday, Sept.
1929, for the benefit Of all teachers
in the county engaged in high school
work. State High School Inspector
c. E. Robertson expects to be with
US to take charge Of the department.
There has been growing demand for
featuring high school work as well as
that Of the grades since practically all
counties have number Of teachers
who are engaged in high school work
alone.
Visitors are cordially invited to at
tend any Of the sessions.

YOUNG FOLKS OFF TO COLLEGE
Oakes Graduates VIII Enter Higher
Educational Institutions

Aubrey Ogden, Warren Ferber and
Roderick Liddell leave today for Grand
Forks to enter the university Of North
Dakota i All three will take courses
in the college Of engineering. Warren
and Roderick graduated from the local
high school last spring, while Aubrey
finished here the year before.
Floyd Ferguson and the Misses, YER
ma Voight and Eleanor Craig will also
enter the state university at Grand
Forks and expect to start for that city
next Monday. This will be Floyd's
junior year there. He is studying law.
Misses Frances and Nellie May Root
will enroll at the Agricultural, college
in Fargo, this being the formers SEN
ior year. Nellie May is a freshman.
The latter graduated from the Oakes
school last spring.
Roy Ronneberg left Tuesday to en-
ter his junior year in the college Of
engineering.
Every one Of the young folks men
toned has a bright future. They are
intelligent and ambitious, two quail
ties which make for advancement in
any line Of endeavor and without
which no one can hope to succeed.
The Times is particularly interested
in the future Of Roderick Liddell. OF
course we want to see all Of them
make their marks in life, but we know
Roderick pretty well, better than we
do any Of the others, because he has
been one Of our employees for several
years, and we will take especial pride
in any Of his achievements. He has
developed from . small boy into q
young man right before our eyes and
We hope that what influence We have
had with him has been beneficial. We
have found him . faithful worker,
quick to learn, conscientious and hon
est, and he never needs to be afraid
to write Us for . recommendation. II
he doesn't succeed it will be because
fate has stacked the cards against
him,
Oakes may we'll be proud Of its rep
resentatives in the higher institutions
of learning.

SEASONS FIRST
GAME SATURDAY
Locals Hope to Perform Operation OF
Glendale Boys from Which They
Will Not Recover
TEAM GETS GOOD WORKOUTS
Oakes Bunch is Hundred Per Cent
Better than Last Season

The football season will open with a
roar Saturday afternoon, with Ellen
dale high school as the first speci-
mems upon which Coach Wyttenbach's
eleven will operate. If the operation
is as successful as the Oakes fans
hope, it is doubtful whether the pa
tient will ever recover. The game
will be played in Donation park, on
the local gridiron, 50 that the Oakes
team will have all the advantage that
a frenzied crowd Of rooters can give.
Coach Wyttenbach has beeh giving
his squad about as strenuous sue
cession Of daily, workouts as could be
crowded into the. past two weeks.
With the best material, and the most
plentiful, in the .gridiron history Of the
local high school, prospects for a win
ming team are the brightest they have
ever been. Unless over-confdence
should prove fatal, the game Satur-
day should be a victory for Oakes,
which will meet with the approval Of
the community.
First hold on the backfield Positions
appS6Ao w OS IA tAS grasp VI tlAS 1As1-
eel brothers, Booth, and Charles An
keny. Frank Ankeny and Howard
Blazer appear to have first call on the
end vacancies, while among. the line
candidates are such midgets as Clark
Smith, Archie Fordyce, George Rob-
erts, Raymond Hill, Eldred Armstrong
and Carl Bowman, not to mention the
elongated Hample or the husky Sidles.
For the first time in Oakes football
history there are enough good candi-
dates fighting for positions to insure
interest, and give the coach plenty Of
substitute material.
In addition to these mentioned
above, there are experienced men
available for backfield and end posi-
tions, such as Davidson, Olson, Nc
Culley, Denning and Colby.
Word from Glendale is to the ef-
feet that the team there is no stronger
than that Of last year. With the
Cakes team probably 1000 more pow
erful, due to experience and the &C:
4uisitiop Of valuable new material, all
the dope points to victory for the
right team Saturday.

The mems supper at the Presbyter-
ian gymnasium last Monday evening
was one Of the most interesting oc-
'casions Of the kind ever attempted
here. Most Of those present came
thinking that it would just be another
one Of "those suppers, ~ but they
changed their minds a few minutes
after they arrived. " g ss:
While only those Of the male per-
suasion sat down to the tables, the
supper was, Of course, prepared by
the ladies'. It may seem strange, but
about the only way married man
can be persuaded to attend q public
banquet is to tell him that it will be
served by the women folks. And af-
ter looking over the crowd one was
convinced that bachelors are much
the same way, several Of the city's
more eligible Catches" occupying
prominent places.
During the progress Of the supper
Mrs. Owen, pianist, and Henry Schies-
ser, violinist, entertained the guests
with several selections, which were

Gated in a new building somewhere
other than on the state house
grounds was agreed to by the direc-
tors.
