Community Picnics This Week

Farmers picnics are being held in
three different communities this week.
Glover headed the list with picnic Of
the Farmers elevator stockholders on
Tuesday, June 20. The Ludden Farm
ers' club holds its annual outing on
Friday, June %, and on Saturday,
June "a, all the friends and neighbors
Of Alex. Ain are invited to come to
his farm, where they can enjoy the
lovely trees and flowers that have been
nurtured into their beauty through the
untiring efforts of their friend and
owner.
Rex Willard, farm management
specialist from the Agricultural col
lege, is to give a short talk at these
picnics on studies made from cost Of
production records kept on five farms
in Dickey county last year. These
records were kept in cooperation with
farmers by the farm management de-
partment Of the Agricultural college,
through County Agent Adams.
Demonstrations on poultry house
construction and forage crops for
Dickey county will also be given by
the local extension workers.
These picnics are evidence that COM
munity life 10 developing among our
people. Get-together affairs have a
great influence on community pride
and each one makes Dickey county q
more desirable place in which to live.

FOURTH OF JULY
PLANS COMPLETE
Arrangements Settled for Holding Big
Picnic and Celebration at
AERIAL STUNTS ON PROGRAM
Ball Game in the Morning and One il
the Afternoon Also

The committee in charge of arrange
ments for the Fourth Of July celebra-
tion in Oakes has completed the pro-
gram for the day. Posters will be out
the last of this week giving the sched-
ule Of the days activities in detail.
Two base ball games have been
lined up. Monango and Guelph will
provide the thrills at the morning ses-
sion, and in the afternoon Glendale
and Verona will endeavor to annex
each others scalps.
The community picnic will be held
at Donation park at noon. Everyone
should bring picnic dinner, and the
business men will furnish free coffee
and lemonade.
Horse races and foot races Of all
kinds will be included in the days
sports, for prizes donated by the mer-
chants of the city. An elevated ring
will be erected at the corner Of Union
and Second streets, and two boxing
matches will be staged during the day.
An airplane has been secured to
give exhibition flights and will be a
feature of the days attractions. The
spectators will be thrilled by every
aerial stunt known.
The offices of the Thompson yards
building will be fitted up as rest
room for the exclusive use of women
and children on the big day.

EMPLOYEES DEFY EMPLOYERS
Bosses and Hired Help Will Tangle
on Ball Diamond

The employees of Oakes have chal-
lenged the employers to a game of
baseball-or the employers have chal-
lenged the employees, we forget just
which. Anyway, somebody left q
challenge lying around loose, and it
has been picked up. The result is
that picked team from each side will
repair to Donation park next Thurs
day, June 20, and give a horrible
example Of how the national game
ought not to be played. One Of the
instigators Of this foul plot tried to
inveigle the junior editor into the
scheme, which showed rare judgment
on his part, for we would not be on
his side. As ball player we are a
scream. We always shut our eyes when
we get up to bat, and if the pitcher
should accidentally hit the stick, we
might not wake up to run until it
was too late. What worries US is
where they are going to place Mayor
Knox. AS president Of the Oakes
National bank he is an employer, but
his position as mayor makes him a
Servant of the peepul" and an en-
.ployee. We certainly don't want to
play against him, as he is so long he
could fall down and reach first base
without having to run, which isn't
fair. For fear they would put him on
the wrong team, we nominate him for
umpire. Or perhaps referee would be
a better title for this contest It will
surely be great exhibition, and well
worth the price of admission, what
ever that is going to be.

CURRENT TO BE
CHANGED SOON
Midwest Power Co. Will Begin Task
of Changing from Direct to
Alternating Current
COMPANY STANDS ALL COSTS
High Line to Hecla is Also BEING
Considered

Everett p. Winter of St. Paul, vice
! president of the Midwest Power COM
pany, was in the city Tuesday. He is
out looking over the company's vari-
GUS plants in this state, and getting
things lined up here for the change
which will be made in the local equip
ment. ~..
| Mr.. Winter told the Times that the
work of switching the town from the
direct to alternating current will
begin very shortly. A new A. c.
generator has been ordered and as
soon as it is installed the work will
commence. Material has already be-
gun to arrive for the new system of
distribution lines, which will be erect
ed, and workmen will soon arrive to
put them up. The new lines will be
placed in the alleys wherever possible
to do so, freeing the streets Of wires
and poles.
Qne comforting assurance given by
Mr.. Winter was the positive state
ment that the company will stand all
expense Of the change. All motors
will be replaced free Of charge, and
you can exchange your household
appliances, irons, toasters, ETC., for
new ones. Everything, even to globes,
will be replaced with articles of the
proper voltage, and the vice president
emphatically stated that the change
will not cost the citizens Of Oakes a
nickel. All we will have to put up
with will be the inconvenience occa-
stoned while the lines are in process
of transformation, which will be min
imized as much as possible.
Officials of the company declare
that the alternating current system
will enable them to give better SER
vice, and will eventually effect saw
ing to the consumers.
Plans for a new building to house
their equipment here are held in abey-
ance until such time as the company
can determine exactly what they will
need in the way Of new equipment and
buildings. It is unlikely that any,
thing will be done along this line until
next year.
Mr.. Winter promised that next year,
when things are running smoothly un-
der the new system, the company will
furnish lights for the tourist camp at
Donation park, free of charge. This
is practice in vogue wherever they
have plants, and is an attractive offer.
The concern recently closed deal
for the purchase Of the electric plant
at Lisbon, and it is planned to run a
high line between Oakes and that
point. This will enable them to give
service to towns between the two
places, and is added assurance against
either place being without service, as
in case Of accident at one end of the
line, the other plant can be called on
to help out. Negotiations are also
under way for the construction Of
line to Hecla, and q permit has been
granted to build as far as the state
line by the North Dakota railroad
commission.

MRS. W. A. HOWELL sUCCUMBs
Death Comes as Result of Lingering
Illness

Mrs. w. A. Howell passed away at
her home in this city last Thursday.
The sickness resulting in death has
been of three years duration, and of
character most peculiar and pain
full. Death came as a long awaited
friend bringing relief. The price Of
separation from loved ones had the
heart pangs common to such events
but a Christian faith came with its
measure Of comfort to open the Wis
tas Of the enduring life and fellow
ship. This was an absorbing theme
with the deceased in the closing days
OF life, and she was able to give tes-
timony to the>sustaining grace Of God
through our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Edna Chamberlain, daughter of j.
N. and Malissa Chamberlain, was born
in Freeport, Pa, Feb. %, 1886, and
departed this life at her home in
.RfagAk9es, fasgA9es N. D., June Is. 1922.
The deceased came in childhood with
her parents to North Dakota. The
location for their farm home was
chosen near Oakes. Here Edna grew
to womanhood and from this home
she was married Jan. 80, 1908, to Will
liam Allison Howell. To this union
were born two children: Edna, who
died in infancy, and LaVern Allison
who with the father is left to mourn
She also leaves her mother, three
brothers, j. L. Chamberlain of Seattle
WASH, j. j. Chamberlain of Mime
apolis, and Clyde Chamberlain Of Isle
Minn.; three sisters, Myra B. Brown
of Oakes, Nellie Wilson of Mime
apolis, and Emma Myers of Grand
Forks.
Mrs. Howell united with the Meth
odist church at Oakes in childhood
and remained in it's fellowship until
death. She was also a member of the
Royal Neighbors, and of the Women's
Relief corps.
Funeral services were conducted
Saturday afternoon from the Metho-
dist church in this city, the pastor,
Rev. ]. D. Smith, officiating. The
large gathering of neighbors and
friends who were present to pay their
tribute of respect gave evidence of
the love and esteem in which she was
held by the community. The remains
were laid to rest in the Oakes ceme-
terry.
"There is day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night;
And grief may bide an evening guest,
But joy shall come with early light.
For God has mark'd each sorr'wing day
And numbered every secret tear;
And heav'n's long age Of bliss shall pay
For all his children suffer here"

STRAND HERO OF NORTHF1ELD
Has Been Prominent in All College
Activities

Fritz Anderson Strand, son of Mr.,
and Mrs. G. ]. Anderson Of Oakes, il
the hero of St. Olaf college, North
field, Minn., where he has just COM
pleted his junior year.
On June IL, before thousands Of
students, alumni, and visitors assem-.
bled for the forty-seventh annual
commencement exercises Of the col.
lege, in the last half of the eleventh
inning Of hotly contested baseball
game between St. Olaf and Carleton
he knocked out home run which wor
the game and the city title for St
Olaf. Fritz was triumphantly carried
from the field by his fellow students
amid the frenzied shouting of tht
enormous crowd.
That evening in a public program
he was congratulated by DR.. L. w
Boe, president of St. Olaf, who re-
marked that he would "rather be
Fritz than be president" M
This game was the third to b.
played between the two Northfielc
colleges this season, and all of then
have been sensational. St. Olaf wo1
the first in the tenth inning, by {
score Of 2 to 1. The next contest
Carleton won by to score. Thu.
the third game determined the pos
session of the silver cup offered tx
the winner Of the series annually
The last game was exciting thru
out, and the score was tied most Of
the time. In the first half Of tn,
eleventh inning the st. Olaf pitcher
retired the first three men to fac,
him. Fritz was the first man to bal
in the last half of the inning, and h,
squarely hit the first ball pitched fol
home run and one of the Longest
hits ever made on the st. Olaf dia
mond.
Fritz is a member Of the st. Olaf
team for the second year, and play.
third base. His athletic record alst
includes other distinctions, for he ha.
been member Of the victorious St
Olaf gym team, which has won three
consecutive championships among
colleges in the annual Northwestern
Gymnastic tournament. In 1921, he
captured first place in Class C, owe,
a field of 95 men. In 1922, entering
higher and harder competition, Glass
B, his ranking helped his team to
victory.
Besides his athletic activities, Fritz
has been for two years on the staff
Of the college weekly, the Manitou
Messenger, one year as assistant
business manager and one as adver-
tising manager. No doubt his high
school training in Oakes has helped
him materially in his college career.
While here he was for two years q
member Of the track team, and in
the summer Of 1921 he played third
base on the town baseball team.
