Yesterday was the first day OF the
sale and never saw such a large,
good natured crowd of shoppers.
Things were arranged so that one
could find just what one wanted with
out the least trouble. But the way
they are buying! 1t seemed, to- me
THAT the supply would not hold ONT.
And would you believe it,, i was in
there this morning and there was just
as large and nice an assortmemr as
yesterday. ....

Good afternoon, Mrs. Jones, was
so glad that you invited me over to
have tea, for am just full of things to
tell you.
Il look so nice, you hardly know
me? Well, am going to confess and
tell you why and where have been
buying the past week. The best part
of it all is that I paid for everything
out of my allowance and l know YOU
will wonder how ever did it and
Christmas just two weeks gone.

shopping lately-No. / know that
you have not, for you would surely

The day has ceased when a news
paper man of repute will make person
al and malicious attacks through the
columns OF his paper on any man.
In Directing, recently, to the confir-
nation of one OF the members Of the
state tax commission this paper has
had no idea of gratifying the personal
spite of any man. or of getting even,"
but rather to perform it's duty in plac-
ing before the public the facts regard
ing this employee of the state
We do not believe our readers, here
or elsewhere, are interested in hear
ing in detail the reasons for the OBJ
lection to this members appointment
by a large number of his former fel-
low townsmen, and residents of the
county in which he lived. The fact
stands that they do object, on the
ground of lack Of fitness for the posi-
ton to which he aspires.
TO put the issue in such shape that
the member of the tax commission un-
der fire can clear himself of any
charges made against him the Times
Record suggests that he secure an en-
dorsement setting forth that he is
mentally, morally and as business
man. we'll equipped and qualified fol-
the position, from either the three
banks Of Valley City; the physicians
of Valley City, the lawyers of the city
or the merchants-in other words
from any set Of men who have had oc
casion to judge of his qualities as ;
business man, and one who aspires tt
have hand in fixing what share O
their earnings shall be paid to tn,
state. If any one of these endorse
ments can be secured, the Times-Re
cord will gladly add it's endorsement
This appointment is not one il
which faction, party, or creed shout,
the place is one of recognized bushes
ability, not theorist; one whose pas
record should show him successful
I not failure. The appointment to thi
office should be a reward, not politi
cal activity, or political perfidy, but tn
well deserved tribute paid to one wit
a clean record, as a business man am
citizen.

If the farmers Of Barnes county will
take the same interest in boosting for
the merchants as the merchants have
done in working to secure educationa!
facilities for the better farming meth
DDS the mail order houses would go
out OF business here in very short
time indeed. Thousands of dollars
have already been spent in hiring
speakers and to defray the expense
of meetings that are primarily intend
ed to benefit the farmers and it is a
matter Of simple justice that when the
farmer has some money 70 spend that
he spend it at home. Even if small
saving can be made in the final &C
counting the farmers would be ahead
if they boosted as consistently for the
towns of the county as the merchants
and business men of the county and
towns are doing for the agricultural
lists. 1t would be well to think this
matter over seriously before placing
the next order that is to be sent out.
side Of the county. Within the next
sixty days several thousand dollars
will have been spent to boost the farm
values here and farmers should keep
this in mind and not lose sight of the
fact that the farmers are reaping in a
large measure the benefits while they
are not called upon to pay cent of
the expense. A booster is man who
boosts for everything that is good in
the county and knocker is man
who forgets his obligations to home
industry and patronizes outside insti-
tutions and works various schemes to
attract money to foreign fields. Let |
us CT Barnes county boost for our
county and home institutions.

# the business men and citizens OF
Valley City can appreciate services
rendered." they will feel that they
owe a lasting debt of gratitude to
Herman Winterer and Lee Combs, for
the fight which they have made, and
which eliminated yesterday afternoon
in the hearing before the board Of
railroad commissioners at the city
hall. For three years the controversy
between the Northern Pacific and the
city has been in the courts. AT the in
eeption of the case, these men, with a
half dozen others who had confidence
in their legal ability and fighting
qualities, made up their minds to
throw down the gage of battle to one
of the strongest corporations in the
country-a corporation backed by mil
lions of money and unlimited prestige
and influence. And they have won
the battle-won it, regardless of the
decision of the Commissioners, and in
the face of the disbelief of a majority
Of their fellow townsmen.
Time and again, in similar clashes
between railroads and municipalities
the railroad has won out, and pun
ished" the offending city or town by
completely removing its traffic lines.
History has been against the attor-
neys in Valley City, but they have
persevered, and today Valley City is
in position to compel the road to
give it its just dues, where under
other circumstances the town might
have received a set back from which
it would never recover.
An apparent strong point in favor
of the road was the apparent senti.
ment of the city as expressed by vote
to move the traffic to the High Line,
e when the proposition was first made.
90 This argument amounts to nothing.
At that time not dozen men in Val
ley City believe it possible to make
successful fight against the road, and
peace at any price, was the senti-
ment of the hour. Today it is safe to
say that the vote would be absolutely
reversed Not a dozen men would
vote for anything but a complete and
adequate service at the down town de-
pot, and no compromise until Valley
City mas what it is entitled to-a
modern, and completely equipped de-
pot. And when it comes, as it will, let
it be remembered that it was largely
due to the energies and abilities of at
.torneys and men whom any city might
be glad to boast.
