BACK TO VALLEY CITY

Mr.. and Mrs. H. M. VelZy have re-
turned to Valley City from Wilkeson,
Wash, where they have made their
home for the past five years. Mr.
Velzy arrived Thursday, but the family
stopped at Tower City to visit rela'
tives and friends, reaching Valley City
Saturday morning. They are now get
ting settled in the Rushfelt residence
on Fourth street and Ninth avenue,
where their host of friends may find
them. Mr.. Velzy was a valued en-
ploye of the Times-Record before
quitting to go out west, but now he is
going on the road for the Northwest
Nursery Co., who will no doubt find
him as capable as he was in the news
paper business.

HAzELToN MEN KILLED
10 COYOTES IN A DAY

Hazelton, N. D., May 20.-Walter
Mulske and F. A. Schiermeister, liv-
ing out southwest Of town decided to
try their luch at coyote hunting and
started out to look for prospects.
Along the middle of the day they
located a den and dug out IL
pups. Then they continued on their
journey and during the afternoon spi-
ed an old coyote near large rock.
They killed her with a shot gun and
near the spot found her den which
contained seven young ones. They
brought the 10 young wolves home
alive, but killed them later in the eve
ming. The pelts were taken to Lin
ton and the boys will collect about
$4750 in bounties. Not bad days
work that.

HAPPY DAYS

Oh, the summer days are coming,
And the bees will soon be humming,
Where the clover tops are nodding
= in the sun;
And the breezes will be straying
'Mongst the shadows lightly playing,
While they hover where the MUIR
muring waters run.
The rainbow will be bending,
All it's color gladly lending
To the blossoms that are smiling at
the sky;
AS their perfume they are f1inging
Through the sunshine and the singing,
And perhaps we'll all be happy by
and by.
When the calendar alscloses .
June amid the. dewy roses,
AS the robin whistles jauntily and
clear;
When the moon is brightly glowing,
And the silver river flowing
Sings a melody the starlight stops
to hear p,
Then the earth that seems so fretful
Will grow gentle and forgetful
OF the faults and follies that have
made us sigh. ~.
Summer days are drawing near us,
Once again to charm and cheer us,
And perhaps we'll all be happy by
and by. a #'.1 i" 49,.

A PSALM OF BUSINESS LIFI

A PSALM OF BUSINESS LIFE.
(By a Longheaded Fellow.)
Tell me not in mournful numbers
Advertising is a dream,
For a business man who slumbers
Has no chance to skim the cream.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
Competitions something fierce,
If the compensation yearnest,
Learn to parry, thrust and pierce
In the business field of battle,
Man must carve himself a place
Be not like dumb, driven cattle,
Be live one in the race.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can bring the bacon home,
And, departing, leave behind us,
Footprints on another's dome.
Let us then be up and doing,
Otherwise we may be done;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
ADVERTISE and get the mon.

OUR SHADE TREES
AGAIN IN DANGER

A good many of our citizens are
becoming alarmed at the appearance
that our trees and shrubs are taking
on. If any one will take the pains to
examine the leaves of any of our
shade trees, he will find that there
are a great many small holes in them
These holes look like shot-holes and
are made by a small worm, usually
greenish yellow. These worms are
known as "elm span-worm" or
measuring worm"
The adult insect is moth, or mil
Ter, as is usually known. 1t crawls
out of the ground in the early spring
and lays its eggs on the trees. The
eggs soon hatch into the small worms
which are now eating the leaves sc
ravenously. They grow very rapidly
until they are more than an inch long
Great numbers were to be seen last
year, on the elm and box elder trees
especially.
These insects are very numerous
this spring and will, no doubt, de
stroy a large number of our trees i
measures are not taken to destroy the
worms.
The following spray is very effec
tive in destroying them:
1 pound of Paris green
$50 gallons of water.
Mix a little water with the Paris
green first until all of it is dampened
then add to the remainder of the solu
ton. The spray should be kept wei
stirred while being applied to keel
the powder we'll mixed with the water
Some tangle foot should be .tiet
around trees to keep the worms from
crawling from one tree to the next.

OFFICIALS MAY EASILY
ENFORCE STATE LAWS

states attorneys and sheriffs Of the
past and few of the present whose
county is full of violations of the law,
is Il will not make of myself a detec'
tive" This statement may mean that
such official knows that he was elect
ed by that element and intends to
serve them or that he is in sympathy
with the law violators and intends to
perjure himself regarding his oath
and protect them or that he intends to
get through his term with as little la
Dor and as much pay as possible and
that he is willing to bear whatever
stigma attaches to such an attitude.
No states attorney or sheriff need
become detective to enforce the law
at least in the sense of going out in
disguise to get evidence. The states
attorney is empowered to subpoenea
any person in his county and compel
them to testify regarding conditions
in his locality. He also is provided a
fund with which to hire detectives if
he cannot get evidence otherwise. The
sheriff is empowered, it is made his
duty, to confscate any unusual guam
titles of liquor, either with or without
a warrant, and may take such liquors
from the freight or express Offices
whenever he has reason to believe
such liquors are for illegal purpose,
The states attorney may ask the
sheriff to seize such. The sheriff or
police officers may at any time walk
into any place they suspect to be used
as a liquor, gambling or immoral
place. If these officials make it known
that they want information and evi.
dence and will treat those who bring
such fairly, the citizens will give such
officers information as they do the
North Dakota Enforcement league.
That any states attorney and sher-
iff in North Dakota cannot enforce the
Law is rot" and cheap rot" at that.
There are few hard propositions and
time is necessary to work out the
problem, but aggressive work by these
two officials will bring success. Dur
ing recent years the North Dakota En-
forcement league has co-operated with
officials and citizens and one lawless
gang after another has been broken
up. The localities where violations
are numerous are very few at this
time. Let the people in every county
and town cooperate with your states
attorney, sheriff, mayor and police Of
ficers and if they do not act aggres-
lively notify the North Dakota Enforce
ment league, and plan to defeat them
at the next election or remove them
from office. After July I, 1915, the law
will read that such official shall dill
igently investigate" violations of the
law.
VIM. LANCER, states attorney Of
Morton county, has in four months
cleaned up his county and in doing it
has faced as great hindrances as in
any county of the state. No official
has right to draw his pay and sit
down on the job and leave the en-.
forcing of the law to citizens. Such
officials should enforce the law az
excessively or resign.

THE trade in bituminous coal was
generally disappointing. as a result,
chiefly, of the depression that pre-
vailed throughout the country in
nearly all branches of industry.
AT the outbreak of the European
war coal shippers had hopes that a
large market might be opened up TO
them, but no beneficial results fol-
lowed. German and Austrian ships
were driven out of the market and the
English government chartered all the
tonnage it could possibly reach, MAX
ing 1t impossible to obtain carriers for
American coal, except at rates so high
as to be prohibitive. The expectation
of trade with South America was
equally disappointing. The South
American merchant requires a long
period of credit, in many cases three
or four months, often with demand
for renewals. and this condition had a
most discouraging effect upon the
American shipper.

partment has recognized the value of
Keystone State products. Until the
war orders came the industry was
more or less seriously affected and last
year production declined.
In the course of his report the chief
says:
The coal production of Pennsylva-
MIA for the year 1914 was 237,074,171
net tons, of which 45,SS4,530 tons
were bituminous and 91,1S9,641 tons
anthracite. The coke production was
17,1G4,124 net tons. Both coal and
coke showed reduction from the high
record of 1918. The decrease in the
bituminous output was 27.0S1, ,129 tons;
in the anthracite. 437,323 tons, and in
coke. 1854 ia tons.
There was a notable decrease in
the number of accidents in both re-
gions. The bituminous fatalities num-
bered 413 as against Gil in 1918; the
anthracite numbered 600 as against
624. The nonfatal accidents in the
bituminous region numbered 963 as
against 1,0S2 in 1913. and in the an-
thracite region 1,03S as against 1,125.
Notwithstanding the reduced tonnage
the number of employees was consid-
srably greater than in 1913. The btu
