Official Paper of Barnes County

Entered at the Poatofflce In Valley City, North Dakota, as second class •all matter.

Secretary of the Treasury Wm. G. IfcAdoo, who has been in President Wilson's cabinet since the president assumed office, has handed in his res­ignation. Mr. McAdoo will quit his job of railroad director on January first. No successor to him has yet been announced by the president.

The North Dakota Independent Tel­ephone Company is going to make ap­plication to the state board to get per­mission to raise their rates in this state, giving as the excuse the high cost of materials and increase in wages due to the war. These argu-ments might be all right while the war was on but now that the war is over it seems to us that the price of materials and the excessive war costs Might to be coming down. The time to ask for the raise on those grounds we think has gone by.

»vv w. s. s. The next session of the state legis­

lature is going to pass a lot of radical legislation we are given to under stand by those who speak from authority. It will be well for the people to keep tab on the next session as it is going to be a real live one with Senator Ployhar sitting on the mourner's beach in the senate and Representa­tive Burl Carr dosing his young life away in the house of representatives. Both these chaps will have a hard time of it trying to keep awake during the sessions and we suggest that inas­much as their votes wont count they might as well try and organize the third house by way of diversion and elect Anthony Walton, of Minot, to the speakership. He fell in the first line trenches at the late election but has signified his intention of being at Bismarck just the same.

*IOY W. S. #. —

It is disclosed in the senate inves­tigation that the big brewers of the country spent vast sums of money to defeat the dry amendments in vari­ous states. This is not to be wonder­ed at. It would not very well be ex­pected that the brewers would chip in to bring about prohibition to the ruination of their own business. The business of the brewer is to sell as much booze as he can and to create all the misery and want the selling of the booze will bring about. He does not care whether children starve or go bare footed so long as he can sell the stuff at enormous profits and cram the "greenbacks" secured from the sale of the stuff into his jeans. However, the couritry is bound to go dry in the very near juture and the brewer with his millions of dollars death and starvation fund will soon be out of business.

There has been a little undue ex­citement regarding the "flu" situation in the city and some people we feel have been feeling alarmed because there have , been a few new cases. The Times-Record editor had a personal interview with Health Officer Pray yesterday in which he assured us that there was no immediate cause for alarm. The board of health is keeping close tab on the situation and we be­lieve if the people would cut this hys teria and calm down the situation can and is being handled in splendid shape. There have been a few deaths recently to be sure, and there will probably be bad cases of the disease •possibly all winter. There are a few extra new cases reported but the spread of the disease so far as the city is concerned is kept well in hand. Inhere are some critical cases that have been hanging on for some time Some of these are improving while others have passed away, but a ma­jority of the fatal cases have been from people who have been brought in from the country districts. We have had some fatal cases, in the city to be sure—and it would be strange if we did not, considering the nature of the disease and the population we have, but we have not had anything like the morality other cities have had. We are informed that government statis tics show that only thirty per cent of the people are subject to contract the disease and the board of health has made a thorough canvass of every house in the town and found out just exactly how the matter stands here. After this examination the board feels that there is no cause for alarm. TLe situation is improving, we have had our thirty per cent according to population and the board is going on the theory that the government ex perts know what they are doing, The TjmcB-Heeord believes that the people nfemselves are more to blame than anybody else.. Families who have the disease go around among the public with reckless abandon not caring whether anyone else gets it or not. If people with this trouble in the family' would have sense enough to remain at home and not go around spreading the disease there would be less Qf it. We have confidence in the local hfard of health who have handled this mat­ter in fine shape, and we are not in favor of shutting up things until the board of health deems it necessary and up to this time they do not think it is. When it is necessary the board will get action. In the meantime keep your head and leave it to the au­thorities. The trouble is that if the board closes up the town then some­body k %\-s. If they take the ban off then these same people kick. It is-mighty hard to please everybody. Cheer up it might be a whole lot worse

The Litchville Bulletin, realizing that the Farmer is Lord and Master in this corner of the world, gets down on its marrow bones and prays "Remem­ber us," because they refused to run any of the Doyle campaign advertising in its columns, and sacrificed about fifty dollars iii so doing. Tis said that open confession is good for the soul, so here goes. The Times carried the Doyle advertising to the extent of thirty-five dollars and Teceived coin of the realm in payment. Also gave about $150 worth of space to Nonpar­tisan League advertising, without a cent of reimbursement. Added to this the editor voted for FTazier and other socialist candidates, and for seven of the ten constitutional amendments. Now come on, Bulletin, with some more martyrdom.—Hastings Times.

Good old top. The Times-Rec­ord received $243 worth of advertising from the Doyle managers, received good American money in payment for same, and we presume have received a million dollars worth of cussing from the advocates of Bolshevikism. Contrary to Bro. Colburn we did not vote for Frazier nor any of the red card socialists—we voted for S. J. Doyle and against all the amendments and we are feeling might proud of the fact. It makes us somewhat weary to see some of these fellows with a back­bone like a jellyfish crook the knee to this bunch of socialist radicals. What these fellows wont do to the coun­try newspaper man after the next leg­islature gets going won't be worth telling about. Under the old demo­cratic and republican regime in this state the newspaper men had friends who helped them out. After this they will be left to "pray for themselves." Remember our prediction.

FORMER STUDENTS IN FRANCE WRITE

Through the kindness-of Miss Mar­garet C. Burns, until recently critic teacher in the training school, now supervisor at Hazleton, Pa., the Bud­get has received extracts from letters written by two recent students at the formal school, now with the American Expeditionary Forces.

Lester Hartnett, '14, writes, "Back of the lines for a brief rest after a heavy drive on the Huns, I wandered into a French-American Y. M. C. A. building, where I heard singing. I at once thought of my Alma Mater. How is she?

"In brief, I am well. I have gone through very severe fighting without a scratch. Saw Ray McLees ('13) not long ago. There are so many Ameri­can boys here that it seems like home, in a way. Hope to visit V. C. N. in the future. How are dramatics? Who is the mis-leading man now? I want to hear all the news about the school."

Lieut. Clarence Carlson writes that he has traveled extensively in France, mostly by foot and freight, and that he was located very close to the 164th but did not have opportunity to see any of the boys. At the time of writ­ing he said he was very , close to the front, and could have thrown a stone into Germany. He hoped to be in the trenches soon.

Miss Burns also writes that her brother, Lieut. Myron Buri^, was well and feared that Germany might quit the war before she was sufficient­ly punished.

"All the boys from Valley City are doing nicely," writes Gunni Christian-son, Hdq. 164 U. S. Inf., A. E. F. France, in a letter received by the registrar recently. Mr. Christianson will be remembered as the "Ty Cobb" on the Normal school nine a few years ago. He continues his letter:

-"I had the pleasure of meeting Up-shaw and Goodwin recently, both of whom you undoubtedly remember. Goodwin is connected with the Y. M. C. A. Upshaw is a member of the N. D. Regiment. (Both of these men will be remembered as officials in con­ference basket-ball games.)

"There are several of us, old Nor mal school boys, here and we have not received the Budget for months. We used to enjoy it so much. My best re­gards to'everyone at the old school."

The Budget was sent as first class mail to all Normal school men in the service, whose addresses were then known, until it was reported by them that the papers were not being receiv­ed. Beginning with this issue anoth­er attempt will be made to reach the men with the Budget.

HOW'S THIS FOR FARMERETTE'S WORK Shocking 330 acres of wheat, bar­

ley, oats^gnd rye; giving twenty-seven days to threshing; and hauling as much as 640 bushels of grain in one day, are some of the add jobs accomp­lished by Miss Helen Berg on a farm in Barnes county this fall. Miss Berg is pursuing work in the Normal school by correspondence, besides caring for a household.

She says that she took a real man's place on the farm, and worked from early till late. Some other feats ac­complished by her were the digging of 260 post holesf^lwo and a half and three feet deep, in three days; doing the chores on the farm; transacting

siness for the manager in town: and hauling water in a 15 barrel tank which was filled by dipping with pail.

Miss Berg certainly has done more than "a bit" of patriotic service when labor Was so scarce. , • r|frs.

TONS OF SUPPLIES FOR EACH SOLDIER

A great deal of interesting and hitherto unavailable information re­garding Americas industrial activities behind the lines in France, with many realistic glimpses of the fighting front such as none but photographic experts in the service of the Government could .secure, are shown in "Ameri­ca's Answer," the second official war picture which _ will be exhibited at Normal auditorium in Monday eve­ning, Nov. 25th.

Americans generally have had very little conception of the tremendous amount of auxiliary work involved in the participation of the United States in tne World War. Outside of official circles few have realized that for ev­ery man on the fighting front from three to four men are required in the rear lines to keep them at the top-notch of efficiency and that at the law-est estimate each American soldier on foreign duty requires at least four tons of supplies a year. This means the ultimate number of, ships, the need of great docks to handle men and suppifcs, the use of thousands of American built trucks, the shipping of huge quantities of provisions, gaso­line, artillery, ammunition and other supplies by rail or lorry to the front and other activities.

Just how all these demands upon the -warand -navy departments 1»ave been met is visualised in "America's Answer" in a way that is not only stimulatingly instructive, but also en­tertaining to an uttiisual degree. "America's Answer" is the second big feature war picture issued by the Di­vision, of Films, Committee on Pub­ic Information, of which George

Creel is chairman. It isbeing distri­buted by the World Film Corporation.

Grace Edith Bowen, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Bowen, of this city, died of pneumonia Tuesday evening, November 19th, 1918.

Grace was born in Valley City, Feb. 6th, 1895., anJ was 23 years, nine months and 13 days of age at tlie,time of her demise.

On Nov. 11th, she was taken ill with croup, which in her case was the in­fluenzas method of attack. The influ­enza followed the attack and late on Monday, the 18th, developed into pneu­monia to which she succumbed one day later.

Funeral services were held Saturday at the German Lutheran church, Rev. J. F. L. Bohnhoff officiating. Inter­ment at Woodbine cemetery. C. A. Olsen, of the Valley City Furniture Company, had charge of the funeral arrangements.

She leaves to mourn her loss, father and mother, four brothers, Larry, Will, Fred and Arthur. Three sisters, Florence, Marjorie and Margaret. An uncle, Mr. Hugh Bowen, of this city, 3H4 of friends.

Miss B6w6ri received her education in the schools of Valley City. During the last school year 1917 and 1918, she was a member of the general office force at the State Normal school in this city. She resigned her position at the beginning of the present school year and entered the school again as a student taking the manual training course. She was unassuming in man­ner, totally void in ostentation, which bespeaks absolute honesty in purpose and principle, a beautiful character of worth. Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant,

From this life depart in peace! Praise be Thine, and blessing fervent,

For the wearied soul's release.

He who saw Thy great salvation, With the eye of faith and love,

In this earthy habitation, Walketh now by sight above!

Cares and crosses all are over, Sin and sorrow overcome;

And the soul, by Christ her lover, Hath at last been taken home.

While life's path we still are pressing, Grant us, Father, steadfast faith,

And, for Christ's sake, grant the bless­ing

Of a peaceful, Christian death.

George A. Totten, J. W. Brinton and others met with several of our prom­inent farmers last Saturday afternoon to thresh out the proposition of buying a newspaper plant for the purpose of running a newspaper that will repre­sent their own views. The meeting did not decide on any line of action and adjourned; to meet at some, future date. It matters little to the Times-Record what these people do about a newspaper but we will throw out this hint to them "that all is not gold that glitters" and by the time they have paid the bills for getting out a paper for a few months they will get broader vision of business life and find out that farming is far more profitable than running a newspaper.
