Great Socialist Lawyer Will Be !.
Here During Month Of March

Clarence Darrow, Chicago Socialist,
the defender of Haywood, Moyar, Petit
bone and Mcnamara, it is rumored will
visit Valley City in March during a
statewide campaign which the Non
partisan league will inaugurate. Points
in the state that will be visited are
Fargo, Grand Forks, Devils Lake, Mi
not Williston, Bismarck and Dickinson.
Owing to the fact that Barnes county
farmers are decidedly interested in
the work of the league, the visit of
Darrow to this city will draw an audi
ence second only to that which greet
ed LaFollette here last summer.
Darrow consented to make addresses
in the state after lengthy correspond
ence with league leaders. It was stat
ed yesterday that the Nonpartisan lea
que will use so automobiles in canvass
ing the state before the June pri-
maries.
Many organizers, it was said, have
been working all winter. It is planned
to work each county thoroughly.

Moe and Person Mix
in Crueling Match

Nels Moe and Chris Person INDUCED
in a hard.fought wrestling bout at
Clark's hall Monday evening. Anton
Foss, of Grayling, Minn., acted as re-
feree to the satisfaction of all. Per.
son won the first fall in 80 minutes OF
fast work with a crotch and bar hold
The second session lasted three hours
and ten minutes and was forfeited by
Moe. He became convinced that he
could not throw the veteran and for
feited the fall rather than to continue
Indefinitely. It was one of the fast
est and hardest fought matches seen
here. Both contestants worked to the
limit. Moe is disappointed in not ar
ranging a match with Bert Bruins here
but the prospects for this set-to are
not very assuring at this time.

basket ball team went down to defeat
at the hands of the Leal quintet. The
Leal boys were rather slow in finding
the pace the first part of the game, the

the beginning of the second half Leal

their brilliant team work and close
guarding, completely bewildered and
outclassed the Uxbridge team, allowing
them but one point during that half
and winning the game by the score
of % to 13.
The domestic science girls served
everyone with a very delightful lunch

implement Dealers Get Notice
Of Marked Advance in Prices

No matter whether you call spade
a spade or an agricultural implement,
it is going to cost you more this spring
than it did last season. For months
the manufacturers of farm implements
have been toying with general ad-
vance in prices. Now the blow has
fallen.
Local dealers have received notice
of an advance Of from five to ten per
cent effective this month. This in
cludes practically every machine and
tool used on the farm.
Binders, mowers, plows, drags and
every other implement will be affect
ed," said Valley City implement deal
er. 1T makes no difference where we
buy our goods, the price is the same.
There is no combine, but when one
big manufacturer announces raise,
the remainder will follow suit"
The increase is attributed to the ad-
vance in steel goods resulting from the
war demand in Europe. All raw ma
terials have gone skyward and manu-
facturers are experiencing great diff
Guilty in obtaining a sufficient supply,
according to press notices received by
retail dealers.
All kinds of wire fencing also have
been affected since the war began.
There have been four advances in
price within the last two months and
the end is not yet.
Wire fencing today is about rs per
cent higher than it was last year," the
dealer said.
Binder twine has Joined the aviation
corps and will be from three to four
cents higher than it was last season.
No prices have been made, but the in
dications are that the twine which sold
for six and three quarters cents a
pound will retail at nine or ten cents
this year. This advance is attributed
to the trust in Mexico which practical
ly controls the export of raw fiber
used largely in America.
The government is investigating the
twine trust, but it is not likely to have
any effect on the situation this year,
according to dealers.
