GYMNASIUM
FOR VALLEY CITY

For several years the men connect
ed with the Brotherhood athletic
rooms in the Congregational church
have desired larger use of the rooms
by the boys of the city. Membership
has up to now been on the ticket basis.
Those who had tickets could come.
Those who did not have tickets were
not admitted. The board of directors
at a recent meeting decided to remove
the bar of tickets and to throw the
rooms open to every boy who cares
to come, regardless of tickets or
church membership. The prevalence
of "flu" in the city has kept the rooms
closed until now. They will be opened
up for the first time this year on Wed
nesday evening. The hours will be
from seven to ten o'clock. The rooms
will be in charge Of an adult. Soft
shoes or tennis shoes will be required
for the floor work. Shower baths are
free. Clean towels at five cents apiece
may be optained from the person in
charge. Soap at a penny cake. The
billiard table will be reserved for the
use of boys from fifteen years of age
and over and charge Of five cents
per hour will be made. Remember the
rooms are free on Wednesday and
Saturday night throughout the winter.
The first half of the evening will be
reserved for younger boys and the
second half for the older ones. New
plans will be announced as the work
gathers momentum. By order of the
Board of Directors.

every household, from the grandfather

year of 1919. ,&
Everywhere throughout the four
teen Red Cross divisions the week will
be celebrated at a reduction to per-

matter what may be the immediate
task ahead, there are bound to be in
creasing demands made on the Red
Cross during the coming year, and
every American, whether here or in
foreign parts, has his part to play.
Through the Divisions every Chap

enroll every person in every CON-
munity. Already the membership in
this national organization has, grown
from some few hundred thousand in

WHEAT PRICES IN
l9l9IN DANGER

Washington, Dec. 5.-The making
good of the government guaranteed
price of wheat for next years crop
bids fair to become one of the big
gest and perhaps most troublesome
questions for settlement during this
short session of congress. Congress-
man George M. Young, of North Da-
kota contends that the food adminis-
tration corporation will be helpless to
handle the 1919 crop upon the guar
anteed price Of $2.26 at Chicago if a
large sum of money is not placed in
their hands with which to make the
guarantee good. During the last year
and this year the grain corporation
has been able to handle the wheat up
on a fixed price because there was a
constant outlet to the allies at price
sufficient to enable them to do so.
That there are serious difficulties
ahead is evidenced by the telegram
sent by Vice President Crowell, of the
food administration grian corporation,
to Congressman Young, in which he
states:
"You are correct. There is guar
anteed price for 1919 crop made so by
the executive order of the president in
accordance with the act of congress
but no agency has been created to
carry it into effect. It is probable that
Mr. Hoover and Mr.. Barnes now in
Europe, may make some recommended
t;ontions to congress as to how the
guarantee may be carried into effect
but it i salmost an impossible problem
for nronar sol,1tiOn'
In order to keep faith with the farm
ers it will be up to the government to
purchase the wheat and pay for it at
the guaranteed price and then it will
be for the officials of the grain cor
poration to sell it to as good advan-
tage a possible and with the hope of
getting out with as little loss as pos
|sible. In order to get out without loss,
or with a minimum of loss, it is be-
lieved the grain corporation must be
furnished by congress with enough
money to control the wheat market
in the United States.
The food administration put out a
statement last night which was inter-
preted by some as assuring the farm
ers that they would receive the guar
anteed price for wheat next year. A
closer examination of the statement
made by the food administration indi-
Gates only that all rights or liabilities
under the food control act arising be-
fore its expiration shall continue the
same as though the act had not ter
animated. This only goes to the right
of the officials of the grain corpora
tion to perform their ordinary duties
and complete their unfinished bust
ness but does not in any way solve
the tremendous problem which faces
the grain corporation during the next
II months.
Tine wheat raiscrs- vii! have reason
to follow the course of events at the
capitol in connection with the govern
mental purchase of wheat with some
anxiety because much depends upon
the action of congress.

DAKOTA BANKING
SCHEME DEPL0RED

"Mixing politics with banking is
fatal. without exception. The biggest
menace North Dakota is facing today
is the effort of the Nonpartisan league
to erect a political control for the
state banking system of that state"
C. T. Jaffray, president of the First
and Security National bank, Minneap-
oils, said today. 1t was his comment
on rumors from Bismarck that the
Nonpartisan league proposes to found
a "bank of North Dakota" withdraw
financial resources of that state from
an alleged twin city "ring" controlling
Dakota money resources and CEN
tralize reserves Of North Dakota
state banks.
A person unnamed, but referred to
as "clCse to A. c. Townley," is re-
ported from the North Dakota capital
to have told of projected legislation
creating central state bank. He is
quoted also as saying that $50, 900, 900
of North Dakota money is held or con-
trol]ed by twin city banks, "where
they are using our own resources to
fight us"
'Any chimerical attempt to estab-
lish such central state bank for
North Dakota will defeat itself, be-
cause banks with sufficient resources
will simply become nationalized and
see the safety Of the national bank
SYSTEM" Mr.. Jaffray said. Banking
is too vital factor in the economic
structure to be made the toy of anna
teur legislators. Bankers simply will
refuse to remain in the state system
and will get nat;ona charters as rap
idly as their resources reach a point
making that possible.
"North Dakota's banking system is
now being handled more skillfully by
the states bankers than ever before,
and such good progress is being made
under the guaranty of deposits act
that it would be a sad spectacle if
wildcat legislation should develop to
muddle the situation. South Dakota
is the best it ever has been.
Weak banks have been eliminated by
failure to qualify under the new guar
anty act.
Il cannot condemn too strongly any
policy IF mixing politics and bank
ng," Mr.. Jaffray said Banking
must be done wisely, conservatively,
With consideration for the economic
soundness of the community, district
and the nation. Politics is-politics.

Miss Hazel Nelson of Valley City
and Miss Della Linwell of North
wood, have been appointed by the
North Dakota federation of women's
clubs to represent them in recreation
work among the American soldiers at

untary subscription among the club

purpose of building and maintaining
these recreation centers. North Da-
;kota club women raised over $4,000
for this purpose and are entitled to
two representatives to help carry on
the work. No date has been set for

school, was the chapel speaker on
Wednesday morning. Father Baker
addressed the students and members
of the faculty on "The Literature of
France" He paid high tribute to the
different schools or renowned writer's
and called attention to the fact that
after every war in which the French
people have been engaged there has
been period of brilliant literary ac-
tivity, and that nothing less may be
expected now. The address was both
interesting and timely, and it was
greatly appreciated. .-...-......-.

DEATH CLAIMS MRS. 5
HARRY NJ. PICKETT J

Mrs. Ellen Foukes Pickett died at
her home Saturday morning, Dec. 2.
The deceased had been in delicate
health for some months and was un-
able to rally from an attack of influ-
enza which she recently contracted.
Mrs. Pickett was the youngest
daughter of Reverend and Mrs. Thorn
as Foulkes, of Randolph, Wis.,, pioneer
citizen of Winnebago and Columbia
counties where she was born May 10,
1882, and there spent her childhood
and later, attended high school. In
1899, she was married to Harry M.
Pickett. The family moved to Mime
apolis shortly, where they resided for
several years. In addition to her hus-
band, she is survived by two children,
Perne and Clinton, aged 18 and 13 re-
spectively. Her aged mother also
mourns her daughters early death.
She also leaves brother, William J.
Williams of Minneapolis, Minn., and
three sister, Mrs. Phoebe Jones, Burt,
Ia.; Mrs. Marie Avery, Chicago, ILL.,;
Mrs. Elizabeth Owens, Racine, Wis.
Two brothers, Rev. Thomas Faulkes,
Baraboo, Wis, Rev. William II.
Foulkes, Walla Walla, Wash. The
family only recently moved to Rogers,
having resided at Leal, N. D., for sew
eral years, where Mrs. Pickett was
we'll and favorably known. She took
an active interest in community mat
ters and was for a number of years
president of the Parent Teachers
League. She was also identified with
the Mothers Club and the local Degree
of Honor.
Funeral services were conducted
from the M. E. church, Rogers, N. D.,

N. D. Mrs. w. C. Craswell, Mrs.
Knute Froysaa of Valley City and Mr..
and Mrs. M. o.. Grangaard, of Rogers,
assisted with the music. The flower
tributes were many and beautiful, evi-
dencing the affection in which the de-
ceased was held by relatives and
friends. She was a young woman Of
a CHEEKY, hopeful temperament and, in
spite of delicate health, never COM
planned. Her friends in both the Leal
and Rogers communities feel great
personal loss in her early death and
extend to her .sorrowing relatives their
sincerest sympathy. z
