A FALSE STORY.

Some one is circulating false and
malicious story in Valley City to the
effect that an arrest has been made in
connection with a recent tragedy. The
Times Record printed the entire
story, going into all details that
should be of interest and there Is
nothing more to tell. There is not the
faintest breath of suspicion of any
thing but an accident in the mind of
any person who has taken the time to
investigate, and is is a disgraceful
condition when the tongue of idle Cos
sip must add to the sufferings of those
who are barely able to bear up under
the burden of grief. Valley City is un-
fortunate in having more than a just
share of those who are careless of
statements and suspicion voiced and
it would indeed be blessing if "lock-
jaw" or some other tongue-silencing
afliction might bring them to their
senses, for a time at least. In the
name of common decency stop at once
the circulation of this false story, and
all similar fabrications.

FEEBLE-MINDEDNEsS INNER.
a.." TIED.

Disease may affect the best as well
as the worst of the race, but feeble
mindedness is generally hereditary,
and can be prevented only by the pre-
vention Of transmission from parent
to child" says DIR. H. w. Hill of the
Minnesota Public Health Association.
1T is true that feeble-mindednes is
sometimes brought on by illness or &C.
cident. Such cases, constituting per-
haps one-third Of the total, are not
transmitted to the offspring. But the
other two-thirds of all the feeble
mindedness we have is hereditary, and
can be traced back generation after
generation. It runs in distinct strains
through the human race, just as speed
is peculiar to certain breeds of horses.
The feebleminded are the greatest
contributors to our stock of criminals,
prostitutes, tramps, and undesirables.
All told they do not constitute more
than two or three per cent of the pop
ulation.

THE VALLEY CITY NORMAL.

All citizens of Barnes county will take
pardonable pride in the showing
made before the Lathrope investigat-
ing committee by President McFar-
land. The special correspondent for
the Times Record at Bismarck did not
hesitate to quote the members of he
committee as being favorably impress
ed with the report of our school, and
stated that they "complimented Pres
ident Mcfarland upon the splendid
school he had built up at Valley City,"
Weeks ago when the matter of an
auditing of the affairs of the various
schools was being agitated, the Valley
City institution made it known at once
that an auditing would not only be
welcome, but that those in charge of
the affairs were anxious that a full
public investigation of the affairs of
the institution be had. It is now more
readily understood just why the sug-
gestion met with such a ready and
hearty response and cooperation.

play the role of bosses will fight shy

This episode has it's bearings on the
legislation which is sought or contem'
plated in favor of terminal elevators.
All the mouthings and abuse which
characterized the LOTUS speech do
not alter, one way or the other, the
facts in relation to this proposed en-
terprise. And resentment over the
belchings of fannel-mouthed agita,
tor ought not to stand in the way of
any legislation which is really in the
interest of the people of North Da.
kota. II the state needs terminal
elevators it still ought to have them.
But the merit of cause is very prop.
erly judged in no small measure by
the methods which they employ. The
legislature has before it on the one
hand a report of the board of con.
troll, calf, courteous, thorough, full
of facts and figures which may be yer,
flied or shown to be incorrect and its
conclusions against the elevator plan :;
and on the other hand it has the
spectacle which it witnessed on Tues
day where vilifcation took the place
of argument and bullying the place of
an appeal Of reason. And it is fair
to conclude that the cause which is
espoused in such a manner, and by
such man must indeed be a weak
one.

interest in the welfare of the COM

this organization to do and with prac-
tically an entire new set Of officers
and new directors. new blood, and the
reorganization, great good ought to be
accomplished. There are many good
progressive hustlers in Valley City
but it would be hard to select four bet.

services so that he may at least de.

AGAIN At THE GRIND.

The legislature is again in session
and it is very noticeable this session
that the members are disposed to lay
aside political pickering and work in
almost perfect harmony for law inn
provement. Representative Ployhar,
who has been recognized as sort Of
factional leader, has laid aside all fac
tional matters and is making a splen-
did showing in committee work. A. P.
Hanson as speaker is spoken of in
flattering terms also, and there is
every indication that the Barnes coun-
ty delegation is making a good show
ing for the county, as we'll as in gen.
eral lawmaking.

BARNES COUNTY FLEECED.

Anton Olson, Barnes county in
sane patient at the jamestown asylum,
it seems from the report given the
legislature, has been working and
drawing wages from the state as a
servant at the asylum and Barnes
county has paid for his keep during
the same period which extended from
September 1911 to June 1914. If this
charge is true Barnes county tax pay
ers will be interested in seeing the
asylum investigation pushed. How
ever the matter is one that will re.

system of farming based upon grow.
ing one-fifth of the land in corn and
the use of it in livestock production,
will increase the income of our farms
by approximately so per cent. This
increase will be brought about with
very little addition in capital and very
slight increase in labor requirements.
For one Of the great advantages Of
corn production in this state is that it
gives an opportunity for the distribu-
ton of farm labor, and it's continuous
employment at times when it is not
required by the leading money crops.

King George and Queen Mary of
England are both nearly full blooded

stopped and their circulation prohibit

BARNES COUNTY LAND VALUES,

Land is not selling for as much
money in the vicinity of Valley City
as it is in other section of the state
where land is not so good as that to
be found near Valley City. There is
a cause for this condition that is not
at all hard to find. There is not, and
so far as history "runneth not to the
contrary" never has been a successful
land selling agency in Valley City.
Several good companies have organic
ed and have in some instances done
some business, but have found, sooner
or later, that conditions were such
in Valley City that they could barely
make expenses. During the past year
thousands of dollars worth of adver.
Using has been done for Barnes coun-
ty and the time is ripe for the bringing
in of settlers who will buy and prop
erly farm the quarter section farms
and the following plan is suggested
for the consideration Of the CONNER
cial interests of Valley City and the
real estate holders of Barnes county
The idea suggested is to call meet
ing Of the bankers and business men
of Valley City and they organize to
back one, two or three land companies
in Valley City with their good will
and recommendation. The land CON-
panies first agreeing to work in har-
mony together, each not to interfere
with buyers brought in by others, and
to give bonds for absolute fairness
and honesty in all land deals. BY do
ing this the responsible land men
could work successfully with the en-
dorsement of the business interests
of the county and hundreds of buyers
could be brought here yet this year,
while under present conditions it is
utterly impossible for any company
to bring man to Valley City with
and degree of certainty that his ef-
forts will not be wasted by some ire
sponsible party interfering. In this
way unreasonable commissions could
also be eliminated and men coming
here with view or investing would
readily understand the situation and
would feel that they were being pro-
tected and their interest safeguarded
and would We believe select and buy
farms much more readily than under
the present Neutrality-suspicious.. It Is
not the intention of this article to sug-
gest and definite plan of action but the
whole matter should be considered by
those interested and even better ideas
may be suggested. We want a good
strong land company in Valley City
more than anything. The settlers are
looking for homes, we need them, then
let us bring buyer and seller together
by some sort of united effort that will:
be effective and have the endorsement
Of every bank and business house in
