INSPIRING SCENE WHEN SOLDIER BOYS
ARRIVED IN CITY THURSDAY MORNING

Shrieking whistles, booming cannon,
patriotic airs by the Valley City Mu-
nicipal band, and the glad shouts of
old and young greeted the North Da-
kota soldier boys upon their arrival
here Thursday morning at Ills
O'Clock.
Around the Northern Pacific depot
was vast sea Of smiling faces. These
ranks were supplemented with phal-
anxes of school children, all waiting
to greet the members of Company G
and the other companies of towns to
the west, and all bearing flags and pa
triotic colors.
After the soldiers had alighted from
the train they fell in and marched to
the Armory, which was artistically
decorated for their reception.
Within few minutes the Armory
was filed to capacity, and Mayor Moe
said few words of greeting and call
ed upon Hon. A. P. Paulson to vel
come the company on behalf of the
city and citizens. This he did in a
mastery address which brought forth
|resounding cheers. Mr.. Paulson made
the address when the boys left for the
border and it was seemly an appro-
pirate thet he should be the one to
bid them welcome home.
Captain Ritchie was called upon for
remarks, and he responded with neat
tribute to the home folks for the
hearty reception rendered those re-
turning. He further made 1t plain that
the boys were as glad to be back as
the folks were to have them.
Following the welcome at the Ar.
mory the company was dismissed to
mingle with friends and tell of their
experiences. Their baggage was
brought to the Armory, where each
man could get his personal belong
ings and rest and prepare for the sup
per and dance to be given in their
honor Thursday evening.
Valley City did its best to make the
reception impressive and genuine.
The boys were surprised and pleased
! with such vigorous welcome. They
also did their best while away, and
return with a record for efficiency and
good conduct of which they may well
share the pride of the home folks.
The train remained at this point for
about 80 minutes and then pulled out
for Jamestown and the other places
where companies will be met with re-
ceptions arranged on the same plan as
here.

theme was 1.-THE Personality OF Jesus

all were much impressed with the rea-

Jesus was and has achieved through
the years finds no explanation that is
commensurate with the results on a

P. 0. RATES UP NOV. 2
Letters, Three Cents, and Two Cents
to Send Postal Cards.

Washington, Oct 6.-Detailed in
structions to postmasters on the in
creased letter mail rates which be-
come effective November 2, under the
war tax bill, were issued today by
Postmaster General Burleson. They
do not apply to rates to most foreign
countries which are fixed by interna-
domestic mail and under that CLASH
fication is included mail to Canada,
Mexico, Cuba, Panama, the United
States postal agency at Shanghai and
all persons in the military service of
the United States in Europe.
The postoffice department issued
these instructions:
"Postmasters shall, on and after
November 2 see that postage is paid
at the rate of 8 cents an ounce or
fraction thereof on letters and other
first class matter except drop letters.
All drop letters, that is, letters mailed
for delivery from the office at which
posted, including those for delivery
by city, rural or any carrier of such
office, are required to have postage
paid on them at the rate of 2 cents
/ an ounce or fraction thereof.
Postal cards are required to be
prepaid 2 cents, and therefore the
1-cent postal cards must have a 1-cent
postage stamp affixed to them in ad-
dition to one stamp impressed on such
J cards. Post cards (private mailing
cards) bearing written message must
| havee cents postage prepaid on
! them"

SEPT. IDEAL MO.
Weather Conditions Were Fine
for Maturing Crops.
Temperature Fine and Rainfall
Just Right.

September just closed was an ideal
month IN Kansas. 1t was favora Bile
for crop growth and fall seeding, with
sufficient moisture in nearly all parts
of the state, abundant sunshine and
no damaging frost.
Such are the chief facts of Septem-
Der weather conditions in the state as
issued here today by the local weather
bureau in a summary of daily records
kept at 100 stations of the bureau.
Conditions in practically every county
are included.
Temperatures were mild and the
average for the month was close to
normal in all parts" says the sum-
mary. THE highest reported was 1903
degrees on the third at St Francis,
and the lowest 33 degrees, on the
twenty seventh, at Oketo, Lincoln,
New Ulysses and Scott City. Only
four other Septembers have passed
without freezing weather in some part
of Kansas in the thirty-one years that
statewide weather record has been
kept. Light frosts occurred in a
great many counties on the twenty
seventh and in a few on the thir-
teenth, but caused no damage What
ever.
Months Rainfall
THE rainfall over the eastern third
of the state averaged Sol inches; the
middle third. 1876 inches; the western
third, 2.21 and for the entire state,
2.3S inches, or 0.42 of an inch below
normal. 1t varied greatly from one
locality to another, but the monthly
amounts exceeded two inches over al
most half the state and were heavy
enough to keep vegetation growing
nicely and put the ground in fine con-
dition for fall seeding, except in a few
counties in the north-central and
southwestern parts, where the month S
! totals were less than an inch.
The heaviest amount reported for
the month was 5:73 inches at~Law-
renee and the least, 0.36 of an inch al
Dodge City.
Combined with the rainfall of Au-
gust preceding, this made the wettest
| two-month period in more than a
years time and one of the heaviest
amounts that has fallen at this time
of the year since the record began.
Corn Crop Cut.
by the end of the month the bulk
of the corn crop was out of the way
of frost and the late planted was ma
turing rapidly. Grain sorghums were
not so far advanced, but the warm
sunshiny> days were pushing them tc
| the point where a great many would
/ soon mature grain.
when sowing was about half fin
| ished and much of the earliest sown
especially in the central counties
came up to excellent stands"
