people of Valley City would pay for
$500 worth of graveling. The work
vas taken up and during the season of
1916 we paid for crawling $1,24190.
We still have something over 500 on
hand and several hundred dollars more
p2edged to be expended during the
year 1917. The roads in the town
ship about the city needed this kind
of work and We deemed it for the best
interests of the city that we help it
doing it. We have also paid for the
gravel to be used during the season
of 1917 and before another fall we ex.
pect that the approaches to Valley
City will all be graveled, due to the
work Of the Valley City Commercial
club.

evening, as per call of the secretary.
After calling to order the first thing
rallied for by President Johnson was

4 detailed paper setting forth what has
been accomplished and considered
since the club took up new quarters at
She city hall. The report contained
considerable food for thought that can
be made good use of by every member

every citizen without the club, but who
Sught to become a member. This pa

This article, and we respectfully call

Other matters were informally dis
Lussed by several of the members, the
main topic being the outlining of

usefulness of the club.
Then followed the election of Is d.
rectors to serve during the ensui: 3

Although the attendance at the an
nual meeting was not as large as de.
sired On account of many live wires
being out of town at this time of the
year, still the feeling and earnestness
displayed made the meeting one of the
best ever held by the club. 1t seemed
to all that a turning point in the af
fairs of the club had arrived, and the
sentiment appeared to crystalline into
a decision to press the advantage for
further gains and accomplishments.

CAUSES G|VENF0R
HIGH FOOD PRICES
ATTRIBUTED TO BIG EXPORTS
AND WASTE WITHOUT IN
CREASE IN PRODUCTION.
REPORT OF HEALTH OFFICIALS
WeILto-Do Could Contribute to Reduc-
ton of Food Prices by Altering
Habits of CareIessness and
Extravagance.

New York, Feb. 81. - Enormous in
crease In the expectation of staple
articles of food without a correspond
ing increase In production, and lack
Of intelligent economy in buying by
housewives are ascribed by the depart.
ment Of health of this city in a re-
port just issued as the chief reasons
for steadily rising prices.
The report says: 1T is apparent I'm.
less the present high prices of food
are reduced or controlled or as an
alternative the income of families
which now maintain themselves on
$500 a year OF less is increased by
raise of wages or through relief
agencies, there will be a constantly
increasing number of persons whose
health will be jeopardized by the in
ability to buy sufficient nourishing
food"
Financial Aid Would Not Help.
No financial aid from the city could
ameliorate conditions, 1t was said, but
an extension of the school lunch sys.
TEN and the teaching of intelligent
buying will go far to remedy such
hardship that now exists in families
living below a food standard which
will maintain health"
1.-THE well-to-do may contribute con.
siderably In the reduction of the high
price of food" the report declared,
"by altering habits of carelessness and
extravaganza In their homes"
Increase In Exports Shown.
Figures are presented to show that
increases in exports of staple goods
have ranged from SO per cent In the
case of mutton to 1347 per cent in
case OF cheese. Enough milk in con-
densed form was expected from the
United States in the last year to sup.
ply this city for two years, according
to tie report.
The amount Of perishable food

Is not unusual, nor Ia it more than
a reasonable margin for safety, in

The exact extent Of the German re-

1t can be stated that the British
now. or soon, will be In a position pos

German position since the beginning
