boys certainly appreciated Valley
City's efforts and said so most en-
phatically.
Editor l.. w Hubbard went to Far
go Friday night to attend the nom
partisan league press meeting The
league, failing to capture the regular
press association at Grand Forks this
summer, organized regular league
press association which admits none
but those in sympathy with the league
and it's socialistic teachings
Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn Cowell and
little daughter, accompanied by Miss
Hazel Forbes, sister of Mrs. Cowell,
spent Sunday at the Lee Cowell farm
nome, in company with the John
Heimes family anu the Linn Cowells.
We understand that Miss Forbes is to
be one of the teaching staff of our
schools the coming year.
President George A. Mcfarland
leaves this evening for Bismarck to
attend a meeting of the state board
of regents. The question as to wheth
er Mr. Stout, elected to the presidency
of our local institution, will accept
the position or not, will probably be
definitely known at this meeting. Up
to this time, we understand, he had
not either accepted or rejected the
appointment.
"Enclosed find check for the Weekly
Times-Record up to July, 1919. The
Times-Record every week is like let
ter from home and l would not like to
miss single number" That is the
way Mrs. Norman DAZZLE, of Crowley,
Oregon writes us and we certainly ap-
preciate the kind words spoken for
the paper, but what we want to get at
is this: If Mrs. Dahle finds the paper
interesting why not some OF your
friends? If they are not reading the
Times-Record send it to them and let
them receive letter from home, too.
1t will save you time and they will get
a longer and neWsier letter.
Mrs. I. A. Harris was hostess to a
number OF her lady friends last Sat-
urday afternoon the guest of honor
for this little social function being
Mrs. Joe Brady, whose birthday it
was. The afternoon was spent in
having a very good time in a social
way and a nice luncheon was served
by the hostess. The ladies present re-
port this a most delightful gathering
and the guest of honor was congratu-
lated upon reaching her - birthday
and received hearty wishes that she
might be present at like birthday par
ties for great many years to come.
The editor is not very we'll posted
on bugology or birdology so in writing
up about the new bird recently added
to the park collection we stated it was
Custard Grebe. It should have stat
ed Crested rebe, so we make the
correction. Our phone has had bad
cold for four months and sometimes
we have difficulty in getting a clear
pronunciation over that instrument.
We got called down on our ignorance
about bird life yesterday and we have
been feeling real bad ever since-our
own feelings are not hurt so much as
those of our personal friend c. K. Otto
whose apparent ignorance we expos
ed unjustly to the public. It would
serve us jolly right if he came in and
gave US a real custard pie, so it i
would.
H. E. Taylor and family, who have
been at Plaza for some days visiting
relatives and who made the trip by
auto, returned home the latter part
part of the week. Mr.. Taylor says
he was fortunate enough to strike
muddy roads bot, going and coming
and has demonstrated his Ford car
to his entire satisfaction. He struck
so much mud that he says. his car
would not run on high going down hill
in fact he had to get out and push
the jitney down hill in some places.
Harvey says he used seven gallons
of gasoline in going about IL miles.
Even with the war tax added railroad
trains would have been cheaper. Any,
way he and his family are back and
Mr.. Taylor says they had good
time just the same.
