Barnes County Well Up
in inConsoidated Schools

From the educational news bulletin
published by the department of public
instruction at Bismarck, We find that
the number of consolidated schools in
North Dakota in 1916 was 401.
Those in the open country number
ISL and in towns 250. The list of
these schools is given by counties. We
find Williams county leads in open
country consolidated schools, having
ten. Barnes county comes next, hav'
ing nine, Ramsey, Ransom, Rolette
and Towner counties follow with
eight each.
When it is considered that there are
81 counties in North Dakota, the fact
that Barnes county ranks second in
the matter Of open county consolidat-
ed schools impresses us with the in
telligence and progressive spirit of our
people in the rural districtss and like
wise with the efficient work of Miss
Minnie J. Nelson, our county super
intendent of schools.

arrangements Complete
for Welcome to Guards

The citizens committee working in
conjunction with the Commercial club
met Monday afternoon and completed
arrangements for the welcoming OF
the boys of Company G on their re-
turn Thursday morning. A telegram
from Capt. T. S. Henry to Mayor Moe
states that the First North Dakota
train will arrive in Valley City at 1925
a. m. Thursday. Arrangements have
been made with the N. P. officials to
notify the city officials when the mill
tary train reaches Oriska, at which
time the power house whistle, the mill
whistle and the N. P. pusher engine
will give notice to the people of the
leaving of the train from Oriska,
which will give all ample time to
reach the depot or Armory. If the
weather is pleasant the Municipal
band will meet the boys at the train
and escort them to the Armory. If the
weather is cold the band will be sta
toned in the Armory and welcome
the boys at the Armory. If the
weather is pleasant the schools of the
city will be dismissed at the blast of
the whistles so that the children OF
the city may aid in the welcome meet
ing. After an informal greeting at
the Armory it is expected the boys
will go to their homes or to their
friends until evening, when at the
Armory an informal dance will be
given. This will not be a dress affair,
but will be in spirit just What the
boys will enjoy, good old-time
dance, heavy on the friendly social
feeling and less as to evening clothes.
Manager Hamilton, OF the Valley Ho'
tel, has consented to furnish the sup
per, which will be served in the w.
r. C. rooms in the basement of the
Armory. Committees are at work to-
day to raise the necessary money for
the expense and it is hoped all of the
people will respond, as no large con
tribution is sought from any. Let ev'
cry man, woman and child appear at
the depot or at the Armory and have
with them either an American flag
or red, white and blue bunting. We
wish to make real patriotic appear
ance and prove to the boys that we
appreciate their patriotism and greet
their return in the same spirit.
It is hoped that every person in Val
ley City will be on hand Thursday
morning at 1925. Perhaps no one Will
miss you among the crowd that Is
sure to be there, but you will enjoy
the scene even if you have no personal
friends among the boys.

Normal Quint Beats
Glendale 25 to II

The Normal school basketball team
took the Ellendale Normal-Industrial
boys into camp Monday evening in the
Armory by rs, to II score. It was
one Of the hardest games played by
the local boys this year, and although
they led in the scoring from the first
it could have been called anybody's
game until the last half of the second
period.
Both teams faced hard luck at times
in basket shooting and showed a weak
ness in this phase of the game that
was partially redeemed in team work.
Carlson led the locals in field baskets,
securing four during the game.
Blumer led the visitors with two fields.
That the visitors are able to play a
strong game is to be gathered from the
fact that this is their first defeat this
season, and that among the scalps on
their belt are those of Yankton COL
lege, Madison Is. d. State Normal
school and several others of like
standing.
The next big game will be played
with Concordia college in the Armory
next Monday evening.
