ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE THINGS
Woodmen to Try Out Cash Separator
Next Tuesday Evening

Harry McGrew and Gene Naylor Of
the Woodmen entertainment commit
tee have been racking their brains for
several weeks in the hope that these
more or less useless organs might be
persuaded jointly to give birth to an
idea. The first of the week they came
to the conclusion that they had been
successful in accomplishing this SEEM
ing miracle and have informed
breathless public that the result of
their deliberations will be another of
those famous M. w. A. dances, to be
known as Surprise" affair. This
time, however, while the main idea will
be the painless extraction of stray
four-bit pieces from the pockets of the
unwary, they intend to use an original
system. What it is will remain in
doubt until the time set for the dance,
next Tuesday evening, because these
two worthless are keeping it a dark,
dank, dismal, secret. Putting on a
public dance at the nominal charge
of fifty cents is feat which surely
requires the use of maximum guam
tity of gray matter in these days of
the high cost of living. Harry and
Gene, feeling the responsibility too
great for their feeble intellects, have
drafted corps of more able assist
ants in the hope that the affair will
go over with a bang. In the past
these dances have attracted crowds
sufficiently large to guarantee their
financial success in spite Of the small
price of admission, and if the boys
have been thinking to any purpose,
this will be no exception. They have
their regulations as "go-getters" to
maintain and the people of this COM
munity may rest assured that nothing
will be left undone to make it hilar-
ious evening. If this hasn't excited
your curiosity to the bursting point
it is suggested that conference with
either of the committee members will
supply the deficiency. Be there, any,
way.

RECEPTION FOR
SCHOOL MA'AMS
Masons and Eastern Star Ladies Join
in Welcoming Teachers of Cakes
and Adjacent Territory
PROGRAM OF UNUSUAL MERIT
Local and Visiting Educators Made tc
Feel at Home

A very pleasant social affair took
place in Unioq temple Wednesday
evening when local Masons and men,
bers of the Eastern Star gave re-
ception for the school teachers of
Oakes and vicinity. Invitations were
mailed to all educators residing within
radius of fifteen to eighteen miles
Of Oakes, including those at Crete,
Lu1den, Glover, Clement and Guelph.
Because of the almost impossible con-
dition of the roads, many found it in
convenient to be present, but the local
attendance was practically one hum
dred per cent.
The reception was primarily for the
purpose of making the teachers re-
alize that they are an integral part of
the community and feel that they are
as welcome as the flowers in May, in
addition to giving them an opportun-
ity Of becoming acquainted with our
people, who, in turn, were desirous
Of meeting them personally.
After everybody had run the gaunt-
let of the reception committee brief
program was rendered. The high
school orchestra favored the assem-
blage with two selections, Miss Dor
othy Rugtiy offered piano solo in a
very acceptable manner, Miss Lois
McPhail delighted her hearers with
splendid reading and Miss Janet john
sons piano number was well received.
Messrs. Dill, Naylor, Mcdaniel and
Gould were next with a male quartet
rendition which was so silly that the
audience asked for more, and received
it. As a fitting climax to the pro-
gram, Miss Even offered q very pleas
ing vocal solo and responded to an
encore.
The remainder Of the evening was
spent in a general get-acquainted
meeting and gab-fest, everybody talk
ing at once and demonstrating that
listening is lost art.
w. F. Rathman, Mrs. Fred s. Mo-
sher, W. T. Wig, Mrs. c. L. Gross,

MUST
Be RAISED SOON
Farmers of Country Face Wholesale
Bankruptcy Unless Something
is Done at Once
ARE IN NO CONDITION TO PAY
Long Time Credit System Seems the
Only Possible Solution

A wholesale bankruptcy among mid
west farmers threatens on March LIST,
1923, unless steps are taken at once
to provide machinery for advancing
long time credit to agriculture.
Whatever happens next spring, it
cannot be liquidation of present
debts, according to H. w. Moorhouse,
director of the research department
of the American Farm Bureau fedora.
tion. A new credit arrangement will
save farmers from bankruptcy and
permit refunding.
Mr.. Moorhouse points out that the
total farm mortgage debt is now es-
timated to be around $4,000, ,0OO, 900.
This represents an increase of 1890
since 1910. The biggest volume Of
loans is in Iowa. Fifty-eight per cent
of the loans are outstanding in the
twelve east north-central and west
north-central states.
A great part of these loans are in
the form of five-year mortgages and
were taken out during the days of the
war in order to make possible the
necessary expansion to meet increased
food requirements for the armies.
In discussing the present credit sys-
TEN, the Moorhouse report shows that
the federal farm loan system has
served very effectively in financing
small land farmers. Federal land
banks at present can loan but $4,000
to one person. "This limitation bars
farmers operating the most econom-
ical farm units in the greatest food
producing areas in the United States.
The federal farm loan act does not
limit the amount of the loan that can
be made by the joint land banks, but
the federal farm loan board has i'm
posed the limitation of $4,000.
"The federal farm loan system pro-
vides for loans on farm land for a
maximum period of forty years and
for the payment of the loan on the in
stallment basis spread over the entire
loan period. The initial stock of the
twelve federal land banks was sup
piled in the first instance by the Unit
ed States government, but has grad
ually been purchased by the borrowers
from the banks until the amount of
stock owned by the government is
about one-eighth, or $4,OOO,OO0 out Of
s32 100000"
Mr.. Moorhouse emphasizes the ne
cessity for passing legislation which
will remove the $4,000 loan limit
from the federal farm loan banks.
"With the removal Of this limit
farmers can make their loans through
this agency and will be able to re-
finance their business. On a total
indebtedness of $4,000 ,OOO, 900 farmers
are paying an average yearly interest
Of 7has. They are paying $6O0O00,-
900 a year. With the $4,000 limit
removed from 1ederal land banks and
farm loans transferred to this agen-
cy there would be saving in interest
rates alone of over $2OO,OOO,O 900 a
year."

ORDERLY MARKETING THE BEST
Wheat Growers Association Paves the
Way for Future Success

The total receipts Of pooled wheat
Of the North Dakota Wheat Growers
association passed the million mark at
the close Of the week ending Nov. 4,
the exact amount handled so far this
year being 10000 bushels. .Ad-
vances made to growers on this wheat
amount to $560,000.
Considering the. complete tie-up in
the movement Of wheat in North Da-
kota, due to the most acute car short
age in the history Of the state, this is
regarded as a splendid showing. The
complete bushelage Of the association
will exceed five millions, and will
probably be closer to the ten million
mark.
The tie-up in transportation, al
though directly promoting an orderly
marketing, has nevertheless worked a
hardship on North Dakota farmers.
In the central and western portions
of the state millions of bushels of
wheat are lying on the ground, ac-
cording to reports, as few farmers
have storage space on the farms, and
elevators are glutted. According to
letter received from Minneapolis, rail-
way officials can promise no relief un-
til the next crop is moved.
This car shortage, however, has
demonstrated the. stabilizing effect Of
orderly marketing, as the enforced
storage, either on the farm or in in
terror elevators, has resulted in less
fuctuation of prices at this time Of
the year than in many years past.
Many contend that had this not been
the case, the price Of grain would have
reached a much lower level than it
did. Already the market has shown
decided strength, and the consensus
Of opinion is that gradual increase
in prices will follow.
Very little wheat, outside Of asso-
citation grain, is being stored in Min
neapolis, as the market has been able
to absorb all deliveries at q good pre-
MUM. There is both good export
and domestic demand, it is said. AL
though considerable amount Of pool
ed wheat has been sold at fancy prices,
due to policy and slow movement of
wheat, the association has not sold
it's quota, based on its orderly market
ing program, which calls for the sale
Of 100000 bushels per month over an
eight-month period.
