there are movie theaters.
The banquet or feed at the Armory
in the evening was voted one of the
big successes of the meeting. To have
the women of the city served the sup
per and then remain for the dance
made a hit with the visitors. Today
they are claiming that Valley City is
in class by itself when it comes to
handling conventions. The moving

fit of the firemen during the evening
and had packed houses at each per-
Torrance.
Secretary Reade says to quote him
as stating that without any question
this has been the best and most inter-
esting meeting ever held by the asso-
citation. Besides Secretary Reade
many of the delegates have informed
us that themselves individually and
the whole delegation from over the
state are delighted with the manner
in which they have been entertained
while in the city. There has been no
fuss and feathers or attempt to make
big showing, but every program has
been a gem, every feature Of enter
tainment something good and whole
some, and every audience orderly and
gentlemanly.

Crasweu Named Head
Of State Fire Fighters

Chief. w. T. Craswell of the Valley
City fire department, was honored
Wednesday at the business meeting
of the state association in convention
here by being selected as president OF
the organization for the next year. H.
l.. Reade, who has served as secretary
for 20 years, was reelected. While
the selection of Mr.. Craswell was in
the nature of a surprise to that gen.
tleman, 1t was in the mind of nearly
every delegate to make him their next
executive officer. Mr.. Reade, al
though extremely modest, was the
loud noise for secretary and will con.
tlnue to serve as long as he will &C.
cept. Both men are competent, hust
ling officials, and we take the liberty
TO state that they are pleased with the
natterlng endorsement given them by
the convention, and we further say on
our own hook that they will continue
to deliver the goods in the wav of ef-
ficient service.
The program Wednesday was car
r1ed out as arranged. The parade was
held over until 5 o'clock on account of
the threatening weather. The COM
panles and bands which made up the
parade made fine appearance. There
were prizes aggregating 5000. Of
these Casselton won first $40: Devils
Lake second, $56; Enderlin third, s43:
CooperstoWn fourth, $31. The bands
were the Larimore Hussar band, the
Lisbon First Infantry band, and the
Valley City Municipal band. All are
musical organizations of high order.
The Devils Lake firemen endorsed
their check for their prize and sent it
TO their home organization of the Red
Cross.
The committee Of five selected to re-
port on the recommendations of the
secretary brought in a favorable re.
port and 1t was unanimously adopted
by the convention. Among the items
was the approval Of contribution of
500 to the Red Cross, the investment
OF surplus fund in Liberty Loan bonds,
and a gift of 1000 pounds of flour to
the North Dakota Children's Home.
The committee of three to make the
purchase and distribution are H. l..
Reade, Chief Sutherland, of Fargo,
and H. F. Strehlow, of Casselton.
A list of about 20 were voted upon
for life membership having served the
allotted time as prescribed by the by
laws and constitution. They are men
who have served as chiefs and other
positions on the departments in cities
of the state.
Another feature for Wednesday,
was the run of the Valley City depart
ment with its new motor truck. A
demonstration of pumping water and

Farmers Around Leal
Get Big Sum for Wool

Leal is probably the first town in
eastern North Dakota to ship an en-
tire car of wool in one shipment.
Monday this car of wool, weighing a
little over 10000 pounds, was shipped
to the North Star Wooden Mills, at
Minneapolis.
The growers received SIC a pound,
net, for their clip, the shipment
bringing about $1O,5O0, and repre-
sents the clip from nearly 5000 sheep.
The farmers of the Leal territory are
just getting started in sheep growing
and next spring will see the clip
greatly increased. The Leal men are
proving to their own satisfaction, as
farmers in many other section have
already proved, that small flock of
sheep will live and thrive on what
would otherwise be wasted in ordi-
nary farming operations, while they
are of great value in cleaning up
weeds and foul growth, making the
proceeds practically clear profit.
With the demand for wool and mutton
increasing daily, these profits are
bound to be big, for some years to
come and the Leal men are in position
to reap corresponding benefits.
Harry Green had the largest clip,
about 1900 pounds, for which he re-
ceived some $1,144. Christ Sorenson
brought in ten pelts in the back OF
his buggy and got check for $40.
The Times-Record hopes that the
sheep industry will spread until ev.
cry farm in the county has few
head. It will mean money in the
pockets of the farmers.

ARGENTINA WAS DISCOVERED BY
 JUAN DE SOILS
By Beach Patton Fifth Grade

Argentina was discovered by Juan de Soils in l515. In 1925 Rpenos Aires was discovered, but it was abandoned and later perman- ently rebuilt. Horses were 'otrC- duced in 1880.
 Until l776 all South American countries were under one govern ment. In 1906 Buenos Aires was occupied by the English, but they were there no longer than a year Spain recognized their independ- ence in 1S42. Argentine Republic was established in 1853,
 Next to Brazil, Argentine repub- lie is the largest country in South America. It is in the temperate belt. In most of the country the climate IS healthful,
 A large part is an almost level plain which stretches from its northern portion nearly to the southern end of the continent.
 
 West of Buenos Aires, wheat corn. and flax are the chief agri- cultural exports, The chief pro duets are wool, hides and skins Some of these are exported to the United States but most to France and England. BuenoS Aires IS fayorably situated for land and wa tor commerce. There are more railways in Argentine republic than in any other part of South Amenca'
 For a time money was so plenti- full and cheap that a small farmer might obtain land without cent and pay for it with the crops. There are I,158.lI9 square miles with seven and one-half million people. One and one-half million of these are in the capital.
 In many parts of Argentina the climate and soil are favorable for agriculture. In the northern part they raise sugar, coffee and tobac- co. and many millions of sheep and cattle. BuenOs Aires is the i'm uortant city in South America. With over a million people it is one of the largest cities in the world. It IS growing fast and has much manu- featuring and commerce.
