BOYS CLUB DEPARTMENT
BRoDERIcK LAHAN. Editor

The Age-Herald Junior is just the thing we fellows have been wanting for a long time. Of course we had rather have a Boys club paper all our own, and in fact we had been planning something of that kind but we are mighty glad of the Junior as substitute, and we be- lieve that if all the departments will pull together we can make the paper a big. success. Anyway, we appreciate the op- portunity that The Age Herald has given us
 OUR NEW CLUBHOUSE
 Some place, our new clubhouse on Twenty-ninth streetr That's been the talk of over 200 boys ever since last Thursday night. The club was formally opened that night, and the ladies gave the boys big reception. So much cream and cake, fellows, that We had three gallons of the frozen eats, and five wheels of the baked left over. And you should see that game room and library at the club And the gymnasium and the show CTS! Everything fellow could wish for except a swimming pool-and we're going to have that.
 THE CLUB SCHEDULE
 The club is opened every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons TOT the schoolboys; every night of the same days for the working boys and news boys; on Saturday mornings for the news boys, exclusively, and on Tuesday and Thursday nights of each week for the free night school. Athletics are already on the hum. Teams are being organized and games arranged. The "Supe'' has promised us some good road trips. Let s see if he will stick. Any fellow who wants to can join the club. Tt costs only , cents week, and that includes your soap and towel for the shower baths. About 75 fellows have already joined.

LEAGUE RAISES CAMPAIGN FUND

LEAGUE RAISES CAMPAIGN FUND
Fargo, April 4.-Disclosing expendi-
lures to date Of $161,000, the North
Dakota Farmers Nonpartisan league
which held state mass meeting in
this city on Friday and Saturday, has
succeeded in raising an additional
campaign fund that is estimated at
between $4,000 and $4,000.
& This fund was partially raised at
an invitation meeting of delegates
held Friday evening, when the direc-
tors of the organization presented
their plea for financial aid.
The means employed in obtaining
the money are most remarkable for
the subscriptions have been made in
the form of loans" That is, the far.
mers contributing to the fund, gave
checks and notes, dated several
months in advance. The league off,
Gals pledged themselves not to use
this money unless absolutely neces-
sary.
Reports of the size of the individual
subscription vary, running as high as
$4,000 in single instances.
At the mass convention Saturday
evening, President Townley made a
general plea for financial assistance,
when he asked for sums ranging from
800 to $4,000, and received a liberal
response
The league is experiencing some diff
fculty filling the position Of lieutenant
governor on its slate. Albert Stenmo
Of Grand Forks county, nominated for
that position, has positively refused to
make the race for the nomination. It
is likely that Myron Johnson of Tolley,
n. d., will be switched to the post Of
lieutenant governor, from that Of rail
road commissioner, to which he has
been nominated.

Loving Friends
Commemorate
His Retirement

A. ]. Batchelder, who has been jan
itor at the court house for many
years, has resigned his position and
will take q we'll earned vacation.
Some time in June he and Mrs. Bat
chelder will take trip to Vermont,
their old home, visiting at Montpelier.
Burlington and other points. They
came here in 1880, and have lived here
ever since, part of the time on farm,
but the greater part of the time in
town. Mr.. Batchelder built the first
house down in the woods" on tho
street where he now lives and can
certainly lay claim to being a pho.
neer Of Valley City. In 1910 he en-.
tered upon his duties as caretaker az
the court house, where he has been
faithfully looking after the comforts
of all the host of employees and inhabi-
tants. On retiring from the service,
he was presented with a suit case by
his friends and co-workers, accom-.
panied by the following appreciation
of his services and friendship:
To Mr.. A. j Batchelder:
In grateful recognition of Is years
Of cheerful, kindly association at the
Barnes county court house, his CO.
workers and friends there present
this suit case and inscribe their best
wishes and respect. ". -~
May the closing years of life bring
all the satisfaction that should be-
long to one who has pursued the way
Of the quiet, honest citizen, the cour-
ageous soldier, and the faithful, con-
scientious friends and public servant.
May reasonable work be interspers-
ed with abundant rest, recreation and
joyous contentment in the sunset
days,
For age is opportune no less
Than youth itself, though in another
dress,
And as the evening twilight fades
away,
The sky is filled with stars invisible
by day.

Friends May Come to
Rescue Of Elevators

Fargo, April Nv. H. Stutsman,
member Of the state railroad and
warehouse commission, yesterday con.
ferred with Attorney A. w. Cupler
and George H. Hollister, president Of
the Northern Trust company, relative
to the failure Of the North Dakota
Grain company, operating elevators
at Darcy and Walum.
The Northern Trust company is re-
ceiver for the grain concern. It was
stated that statement is being pre-
pared, showing all the grain that was
outstanding at the time of the failure
on Feb. "a. An effort is being made
to get the ticketholders to assign
their tickets to the state railroad and
warehouse commission to bring about
an equal distribution.
Friends of the stockholders, it was
stated, may go to their rescue and II
such developments occur the creditors
will be paid in full. The grain in the
two houses was shipped out Friday
and the proceeds are expected to be
$500. The $4,000 trust. bond, $4,000
for each elevator, is ready but before
a pro rata distribution can be made,
the outstanding tickets must be in
the hands of the commissioners.
The North Dakota Grain company
became insolvent Feb. "a, 1916. Grain
that had been stored in the elevator
was shipped out to the companys
commission Office at Duluth and sold.
Over head expenses were heavy and
the money from the sale of the stored
grain was used for these purposes. In
fact, it was stated yesterday that the
company was insolvent for more than
year prior to the date of it being
placed in the hands of a receiver.
Commissioner Stutsman arrived in
Fargo Friday night. He will be
Darcy Tuesday of this week for the
purpose of inducing the ticketholders
to assign their tickets to the commits,
sion. Members of the company's
commission office at Duluth are re-
ported to be sitting on an uneasy seat
for selling stored grain.
