QUESTION If you cultivate the habit Of

It Ii especially the part Of anyone

Is for each Of the old residents to re-

However, II you are the newcomer,
make 1t your life work for a few
weeks to remember the persons whom
you meet in your new home town, for
much of your future social success
depends on recognizing the people you
meet the next time you meet them.

In vain did the Trees tell them that
they were beautiful, and that every
one loved to look at their shining
green dresses. but still the little Leaf
lets grumbled and fused, and at last
all the trees talked it over one night,
and it was decided that the Leaflets
should have dance all by themselves,
before the Blossoms or the Fruit
came.
AS all the festivals and parties take
place on moonlight nights, the Trees
waited until the moon was shining full

AND LET LIVE
(By Strickland Gillilan)

(By Strickland Gillilan)
A thready root of peach tree grew
Where the roots of pear trees wandered, too.
And tulip poplar sent its shoots
To mngle in with the other roots.
Then locust, maple oak and pine
Put out their nerves to intertwine
One with the other in common soil
To build trunk, bough and leaf their toll.
But the peachtree rootet always found
Peach making stuff in the very ground
Where each of the others shrewdly chose
The sap from which its own kind grows.
Although they fed from the selfsame dirt
None gave received the slightest hurt,
They never quarreled glared fought
As there in tangled web they wrought.
For one was pear and one was peach;
The kind soil sated the wants of each.
Where the locust roots found stuff for pods
Long tulips came from the clever cfods
When the poplar called; and acorns grew
AS the want of the oak the moist soil knew.
Slim needle and resin and cones for the pine
Were dgged from the same exhaustless mine.
Here's business lesson for you and me
(And for nations to, if they could but see)
God isn't dolt copy-cat-
Don't believe such thing as that.
This world He has given will amply feed
The lives of US all, to our utmost need.
Your share and mine lie side by side
An each may take till he's satisfied.
And none is robbed if the others know
The stuff that will make their own-selves grow
And take but that, as the sapient roots
Have tutored their frailest, farthest shoots
The sap that the tulips sof discard
Will turn into lakewood fine and hard.
Though toil1ng together, let each his own
Use freely-and Let the rest alone

A Pleasant Outrage"

Gene Naylor is having some remod.
elling done on his home on Fourth
street, the most obvious change being
the tearing off Of the old porch and
the building of new one, which in
cludes an addition to the living room.
While the front end of his house was
torn out, number of people purport-
ing to be friends took advantage of
the unprotected condition Of the Nay
lors' dwelling by walking in on them
Tuesday evening, unannounced and un-
invited. The excuse they offered for
this liberty was that Mrs. Naylor had
had a birthday some time or other in
the past, which they seemed to think
gave them license to make themselves
at home. They did atone for their pre-
sumption to some extent by bringing
along enough grub to fill to repletion
even the we'll known capacities of
some Of those present, after an even
ing Of whist. The perpetrators Of
this outrage upon the privacy of the
Naylor home were Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. o.
Jacobs, Mr.. and Mrs. o. E. Elmer, Mr..
and Mrs. F. D. Mccartney, Mr.. and
Mrs. S. Bergenthal, Mr.. and Mrs. F.
s. Mosher, Mr.. and Mrs. F. C. Root.

LUBNFAVOR OF
BUILDING ROADS
Oakes Commercial Men Vote to Have
Commissioners Make Levy for
Next Years Work
WOULD RETAIN COUNTY AGENT
Members Also Think Club Leader too
Valuable Man to Let Go

AS several matters of Importance
demanded attention, President W. j.
Seifert issued call for meeting of
the Commercial club Tuesday noon, at
which time the usual lunch was also
served
After the eats had been disposed of
to everybody's satisfaction, Mr.. Sci
fert called the attention of the club
to the various propositions which he
desired the members to pass upon.
Secretary Whitver had received a
letter from the county commissioner
from this district asking for vote on
four questions, which We're read to
the assemblage.
The first referred to the stand to be
taken on the proposed highway pro-
jects. Plans have been completed for
building seven miles east and seven
miles north from Glendale, and six
miles west on the road running east
and west through Oakes, beginning
at the Enger corner. The compile
ton of these six miles would bring the
state to within about two miles of Full
lerton and only about five miles from
the Sunshine trail. While the men,
bers felt that Glendale gets the best
of this arrangement, they decided to
go on record as favoring it.
The commissioners also wanted an
expression on the part of our club As
to the advisability of retaining the
county agent and club leader. Con-
siderable opposition has developed in
some sections, it seems, and the board
wanted to know what the feeling is
here. The question aroused some lit
tie discussion, but when it came to
vote it was unanimously decided to
urge the retention of these men.
1t was desired that the club go on
record on the proposition of the COM
missioners making tax levy this year
for road work in 1923. A petition
containing large number of names
is now on file at the county seat ask
ing that all road building be discon-
tinued, but the Commercial club pres
ident believes this would not be true
If the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution was thoroughly understood.
We now have money enough to finish
the work proposed this year, and it
was not considered advisable by the
club to allow this money to remain
idle, inasmuch as in any event it could
not be used for anything else. If the
amendment goes into effect it will
mean that system of highways con-
Meeting county seats north and south
will be built in North Dakota with
federal aid. All the money furnished
by the state will come out Of the au-
tomobile license fund, thus making no
increase in taxes, and while it will
cost each car owner few dollars more
for his next years tag, he will reap
the benefit in improved highways.
AS we understand it, however, none
of this money would be used on any,
thing except trunk roads, the cross
roads to be taken care of by the coun-
ties and townships. 1t was decided
to favor the levying of $4,000 for
next years work in this county.
Before adjournment, resolution
was passed urging Governor Nestos
to do everything in his power to see
that the amendment passes.

NEW FARM BANK
SYSTEM Isl URGED
Institution Similar to Federal Reserve
for Long Time Loans Provided
in New Bill
SENATOR SPRINGS A NEW ONE
Secretary Weeks Says Farmers Can't
Borrow from Seed Fund

Creation of federal institution SIM
liar to the federal reserve bank sys-
TEN, to provide long term credits for
farmers was proposed in a bill intro
duced Monday by Senator Simmons,
democrat, of North Carolina, former
chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee, which later was referred to
that committee. The bill would set
up an agricultural banking system,
with regional districts and other at
tributes of the federal banking sys-
tenn.
Establishment of national agri-
cultural credits corporation" to alb
sorb the War Finance corporation,
with $500,0O0,000 capital for a re-
yolving fund, all to be subscribed by
the government, was proposed under
the bill. Loans would run from one
to three years. The governing body
would be a board of FIVE members,
headed by the secretary of agricul-
ture, appointed by the president and
confirmed by the senate.
Secretary Weeks, who is charged
with the distribution Of the $4,000, 900
seed loan authorized by congress, has
announced that the sum could be used
only for the purchase of seed and
could not be used to relieve farmers
who are hard pressed for cash.
Asserting that innumerable inquir-
les had come to the department ask
ing if the funds might not be made
available to those farm sections where
crop conditions imposed financial em-
barrassment on the farmers, Secre-
tary Weeks said:
'The farmers of the country, es-
pecially in the west, might readily
borrow money from their local banks
if those institutions would re-discount
some of the good agricultural paper
now in their possession with the War
Finance corporation here in Washing
ton. If the banks would resort to
this procedure they would be able to
meet demands made upon them by
farmers who actually need help and
who cannot be assisted under the seed
appropriation act"

ELECTION PASSES OFF QUIETLY
Two New Aldermen Selected by Voters
This Spring

The city election last Monday passed
off without any casualties so far as is
known. This isn't so very remarkable,
but the fact that none of the candi-
dates or their partisans indulged in
any personalities is something new in
city politics.
In the third ward Glenn v. Dill
won over Fred B. Ingstad in the race
for alderman by vote of II to Sc,
close enough to be source of salts
faction to the loser and by margin
great enough to please the winner.
Mr.. Dill should make a good official,
as he knows quite a bit about city
business and is capable of absorbing
any additional information he may
need. Mr.. Ingstad is a capable man,
also, and would have made an accept
able official if he had won.
In the first ward Chas. o. johnson
was placed in Office by the use of
stickers, no candidate being on the
ballot as M. o. Jacobs had declined to
file his petition. Mr.. johnson goes
into office with the best wishes of the
entire community. He is a business
man and should be able to help un-
tangle some of the knotty problems
! that sometimes arise.
P. J. Aasen, elected last year from
the second ward, was returned with
out opposition, which is sufficient COM
ment. He has the welfare of the city
at heart all the time and is compe-
tent official.
The contest for member of the park
board between Mrs. T. H. Ferber and
A. P. Guy, which aroused considerable
interest, eliminated in a victory for
Mr.. Guy, the present incumbent, by a
vote of 161 to 1O2. The winner has
held this Office for several years, ap-
parently to the satisfaction of ma
jority of our citizens. Mrs. Ferber
made good race and if successful
would have attended to the duties in
a thorough and efficient manner.
All the candidates maintained the
utmost good humor at all times and
no strained relations were created,
which is a good thing for the city and
speaks well for the good sense Of the
contestants. None Of the offices are
worth anything to the individual; on
the contrary the duties take up con-
siderable time and about all the ap-
probation any of the officials ever
get is an occasional kick when some-
body thinks things are not going right.
Somebody has to look after the city's
business, however, and those who are
willing to sacrifice their time at the
expense of their private business are
deserving of the support of the peo-
pie instead Of their condemnation, ex-
cept in isolated instances where in
competence is shown.

Brakeman's Hand Lacer.ted

Roscoe Bagby, C. &. N. w. brake
man residing at Pierre and occasion
ally making trips to Oakes, suffered
q painful accident last Saturday MORN
ing at about 4:30 o'clock, which re-
ulted in the loss of the four fingers of
his left hand. He was holding to the
coupling lever on one of the freight
cars, waiting to lift the pin, when he
slipped and fell. In trying to save
himself he placed his left hand on the
rail and the wheels ran over it with
the above result. He was taken to
the hospital at once for surgical at
tention and remained there several
days. The injury is healing nicely
and he will soon be all right again.

LEGION POST HOLDS MEETING
Auxiliary Serves Luncheon at Close of
Business Session

The local post Of the American Le-
gion met at the city hall Tuesday eve
ming for it's regular meeting. Arrange
ments which had been made for hold
ing an Easter Monday dance in the
C. M. C. hall were approved, and final
plans completed for the boxing exhibi-
tion which is to be pulled off at that
place Saturday evening of this week.
The proposition Of giving home tai
ent play was discussed further at this
time, and it was decided to postpone
the undertaking to later date than
planned. Something of this nature
will probably be attempted next fall.
Some time was taken in reading bull
letins from national and department
headquarters, and action was taken
on one relating to fund for the dec
Grafton of soldiers graves overseas
on Memorial day by the Legion, the
post finance officer being instructed to
remit the local posts quota Of said
fund to department headquarters.
Several bills were allowed, after which
the meeting adjourned.
The ladies Of the Auxiliary had put
in their appearance in the meanwhile,
and Immediately at the close of the
business session cards were produced
and several whist games started.
They were shortly interrupted, how
ever, by the ladies of the refreshment
committee, who insisted that each
one gorge himself with the many good
things to eat. No one had to be coax
ed very hard to partake of the appe-
Etizing luncheon, which earned for the
Auxiliary another good mark in the
boys esteem. When all had had their
fill, cards were resumed, and occupied
the attention Of those present until
midnight. The ladies took up silver
offering to help defray the expenses

woMAN's CLUB GIVES PROGRAM
Men Invited to Stay at Home, so No
Fools Would be Present

After winter Of deep and intensive
literary study, the Woman's club, feel
ing the need Of mental relaxation, gave
a program in lighter vein Tuesday at
the home of Mrs. Gould. It being
very near April 1st, it was called a
"Fool's Program" the ladies' only re-
gret being that the men were not in
vited, so there were no fools present
to enjoy the numbers.
After the regular business meeting,
roll call was responded to by each
lady telling funny story.
The first number on the program
was a paper, estate your reasons why
Charlie Chaplin should be next presi-
dent of the Irish Free State" This
interesting subject was ably handled
by Mrs. Dill, whose clear and lucid
arguments in favor of Charlie as fu-
ture president Of Ireland left her au-
ditors convinced of the importance of
such an election.
The ladies were then favored by a
reading, "Tilly Olson," given by Mrs.
Edblom in her usual pleasing manner.
Following this, debate on the SER
ious. and weighty subject, Resolved,
that hens lay better in square nests
than in round" was given, Mrs. j. w.
Bush and Mrs. Warner upholding the
affirmative and Mrs. Mueller and Mrs.
Meunier speaking for the negative.
The arguments were deep and we'll
chosen on both sides, and th> Judges
found difficulty in rendering decis-
ion, but were so overcome by the elo-
quence of Mrs. Bush on this most i'm
portant subject that they finally de-
cided 2 to 1 in favor of the affirma-
tive.
A quartette, Springs Awakening" }"
was beautifully and thrillingly rem
dered, the personnel being: Soprano,
Kotofski; tenor, Beelzebub; bass, Ar
chimedeo the Great; alto, Susie Doo-
little. Suffice it to say that never had
the ladies listened to such music.
The "Four Power Pact" treaty was
learnedly spoken Of by Mrs. Nichols,
her ideas ranging from the coming of
spring to how to rear your neighbours
children.
Mrs. Borman then played an instru-
mental solo on the melodeon; the Sc
lection was entitled "Spring," and was
her own composition.
Mrs. De La Hunt, assisted by Mrs,
Gould, gave a travelogue, the subject
being, "a Trip to Glendale"
The program was completed by a
reading, "Mary's Little Lamb" given
by Mrs. Savold, assisted by several of
the other ladies.
After the program each lady gave
her reasons as to why Uncle BIN
should or should not marry the Widow
Zander, and the morrow's picture of
the Gumps was given as a one act
farce.
After light lunch, the ladies de.
parted, feeling mentally much refresh.
ed after their hard winters work. ~
