Valley City Center
Of Stornn's S Activity

Fargo, Jan. 22.-After wild day and
night of blizzard the temperatures
dropped and clouds lifted over the
western part of Minnesota and the Da
kotas today. Temperature as low as
80 below was received from Fargo and
eastern North Dakota cities, while 25
below was the low record received
from western North Dakota. Valley
City seems to have been the center OF
the storm in North Dakota. All along
the routes of the Northern Pacific and
500 lines through Valley City traffic
was tied up. At Mandan on the west
and Detroit on the east, however, the
storm dWindled to mere stowstorn.
Trains on the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific in North Dakota ran
from six to ten hours late. The North
ern Pacific officials denied that there
had been any wrecks in Minnesota or
North Dakota. So far as they knew
no trains except the fast mail were
abandoned They said few trains
were running late, but came through
without accident.

Shipping for Monday
Hurts Stock Market

The South St. Paul stock exchange
believes that the farmers of the north
west are hurting their own market
by sending in stock to arrive Monday.
The secretary says.
1T is our belief that too many ship
pers are forming the bad habit Of
shipping most Of their live stock for
the Monday market, not only to this
point but also to other live stock CEN
ters as we'll. Such practice tends to
overstock the markets on Mondays,
and with overstocked markets, it is to
be expected that prices will decline
sharply, and such a decline is apt to
affect the entire weeks business. The
shipper not only has the unsatisfac-
tory prices to contend with, but when
the markets are congested it means
that there will he unavoidable delays
in handling live stock, and this makes
the handling of business unsatisfac-
tory all the way through, for the ship
per, the railroad, the stockyard COM
pany, and the buyers"
To illustrate their point of over
stocked Mondays markets and under
stocked markets of other days of the
week, they submit the table below
showing receipts in carloads of live
stock at South St. Paul in recent

Commercial Club Is Planning
Valley City's Big Auto Show

Secretary l. J. Moe, of the Valley
City Commercial club, stated Monday
morning that it looked as though Val
ley City was going to put on an auto
show. The local dealers are getting
together on the proposition, and it
hooks as though some time during the
month of March Valley City will
stage it's first. real auto show: Sev-
eral of the travelling men handling
auto accessories have signified their
desire to get in on the proposition and
will put up an exhibit equal to those
staged in cities much larger than VAL
ley City. The auto dealers of Valley
City handle between 20 and 80 differ
ent makes, and with the push and de-
termination of these local dealers
there is no reason why this should not
prove a great success. The Municipal
band will be engaged for concerts dur
ing the early evening hours and other
entertainment features will be added.
Secretary Moe stated that a meeting
would be held at the Commercial club
rooms the latter part of the week and
the matter in detail will be gone over
by the dealers.

V.C. High School Back
From a Victorious Irip

The Valley City high school basket
ball team returned Sunday from vic
torious trip, having defeated Cassel-
ton Friday evening by a 26 to 20 score
and Fargo Saturday evening by so
to II score.
The boys are playing in mid-season
form and at times exhibited teamwork
which is seldom seen in the early sea-
son games.
The game with .Casselton was a
fight from start to finish, but the VAL
ley boys pushed into the lead early in
the game and managed to retain that
lead by a narrow margin throughout
the battle.
The boys completely outclassed Far
go high Saturday evening in a game
as cnesided as the score indicates. BY
their quick passing and teamwork, the
boys bewildered their opponents, who
were unable to get within shooting
distance of the basket
Beals was Fargos only man who
showed any class, while Valley high
worked as unit throughout the two
games.
The following men made the trip:
L. Stenshoel, Cook, A. Bowen, F..
Bowen, L. Nelson and Anfinson.
The next game is to be played with

allow of the operation of all necessary
industries and the selling of newspa.

The amendment proposed by the

Well u-Known Travelling Man
Has Very::Tough Experience

George Won Schultz, the well-known
travelling man, is back from a trip
that proved great deal more eventful
than he anticipated. Mr.. Won Schultz
was called to Toronto in December by
the illness of his aged mother. On his
return trip he was taken ill with ap-
pendicitis while in Chicago. He lay
for two days in hotel room and was
then taken to st. Luke's hospital.
There he lay for IL days in an ice
pack before the Inflammation was re-
duced and he declared out Of danger
and able to return home. He says
that the lonesomest 4S hours he ever
put in was in that room on the
twelfth floor of Chicago hotel, with
no one to talk to and with only a
glimpse of the smoke pail that
shrouds the Windy City to enliven his
sufferings. He is surely glad to get
back to Valley City and his friends are
as glad to see him here again.

Woman S Exchange Is
Notable for Success:

Too little has been said of the Val
ley City Woman's Exchange-that
stronghold alike of farmers wives and
Valley City housewives.
Yet the Exchange has been forging
ahead and today stands one Of the
few institutions of the kind in state
or northwest which have paid for
themselves without necessity of a
bazaar at, the end of the fiscal year.
Credit that to the management OF
Mrs. Chilberg, in charge for 50 long,
and Miss Della Stuewig, the present
manager, and the foresight Of the Civ
ic Improvement Association, which
founded the Exchange eight years ago.
The Exchange sells homemade
foods, milk, butter, eggs, jams and
fancywork. It sells them to local
housewives at price which enables
the buyer to make a saving as well as
to obtain the purest foods. 1t gives
many Valley City women an outlet for
their culinary arts, allowing them to
earn money thereby. The makers got
IS per cent of the price the articles
cent goes to support the Exchange, and
this small percentage is enough to pay
all overhead expenses and give tnt
Exchange profit.
The Exchange also has a rest room.
1t serves as the connecting link be-
tween the farm and the city. Farmers
who come to town on business leave
their families there to call for them
when about to go home. It is not as
large as 1t is going to be, but it has
done it's work we'll to date.
The location of the Exchange is not
known to everyone in the city.
Strangers do not know of its exist
ence in many cases, but local women
and their husbands-are as familiar
with it as with the postman. 1t plays
a more important part in their ar
rangements.
&C into the Exchange at any hour
of the day and someone will be pur-
chasing a cake, loaf of bread or
some other article for the family meal.
Ladies out shopping, farmers wives,
teachers and even the men and child
rem find it handy place for a
lunch or a cup of tea or coffee.
1t is one Of Tie busiest places in the
city, yet it does no advertising, makes
nc plea for customers.
Its mission is understood.
Scores of villages have had like ex-
hibits on occasions. Valley City has
it the year round. It is the only one
of it's sort in this city, almost unique
in the state and one of the most con.
sistently successful in the northwest
states. It's fame has spread and other
cities are copying. It is not charity.
There is nothing cooperative about it
except that it is backed by Valley
City housewives who bring to it their
cooking. It is purely and simply a
business proposition, and like all
business ideas of any importance-1t
is self-supporting.
