!" Il PAYS to ADVERTISE

/ The Junior class if the High school
have promised to give Valley City one
of the pepiest class plays in the his
tory of the school. If advertising
counts and we all know it does, their
promise will be fulfilled.
"It pays to Advertise" is the name
Of the play and it must also be the
junior motto because they practise
what they preach. The Times-Record
has printed a big lot of tags covered
with advertising for them. A group
Of these >enterprising Juniors tagged
the business section of the city this
week and it looked like the whole
town was for sale. But that's the way
to go after it. Advertising pays and
we all know it.

can just make up your mind that you
have missed the best part of your life.
The Juniors have Informed US that
they would like to give away samples
of Is soap, but there is such demand
for the product that they can't spare
the soap. So you will have to take

1t is hoped that every woman in
Valley City will become a member OF
one of the four departments of the
Community club and attend the joint
meetings. We must do Red Cross
work and other work that is the re-
suit of the war but "the other work
must not be left undone." Our lives
must be kept as normal as possible
but in order to do extra work that
comes our way we must eliminate the
non-essentials. We must keep open
minds and level heads and give atten-
ton to not just one need that is clam
oring for attention but to the many
needs we learn about.
Let US cooperate in a large way
and keep ourselves up to the highest
point of efficiency.

Germany has played well its
crooked game of diplomacy in Russia.
Ore year ago last Friday the czar
abdicated Last Thursday, the Ger
manized Lenine government agreed
to German peace terms. Lenine
delivers to Germany thousands of
square miles of land and millions of
population; the Russian army is de-
mohiizyd, he Russian feet internad,
and trade agreements favorable to
Germany are given her. Germany,
from this advantageous position, now
seems deliberately to bs seeking a
quarrel with Norway and Sweden,
as an excuse for strengthening her
position in the North. But trouble for
Germany is still brewing in Russia.
The Lenine government did not speak
for all Russians.

for persons who make anti-war talk.

many localities of the State there are
men and women in different stations
of life, who, while too ccwardly 10
indulge in word or deed for which
they may be punished by the law, are
making such effort as they dare to
discourage patriotism of the rugged
kind. Such vary from the miIdest
pacifist to the crank and near traitor.
We call upon our public safety COM
mittees in every locality to use means
and methods to meet each individual
situation, and to make it uncomfort-
able and unhealthy for the people OF
the character above described. Sup
press it. 1t weakens the morale OF

State Must Grow Enough For Home
Consumption.

PORTLAND, ME-, Mar. 10 fspeciall--
Word has gone out thai Maine will pro-
duce % per cent less food in 1918. The
March 9 issue OF The Literary Digest, in
reporting agricultural conditions through
out the country, says: "Maine-Great
shortage of farm labor; acreage probably
viii be reduced one-fourth or one-third."
This is poor advertising for a progress
-ve state, but luckily. baek-fires against
this very condition were set over year ago.
A few iar-sighted men began to perceive
that Names basic industry, agriculture,
WIS in an alarming condition. Names
1900 900 acres, capable of feeding all New
England, were not even sustaining her
own population. THIS resulted in the or
ganization of the Maine Agricultural and
Industrial league for the promotion Of
better farming, better marketing, better
business, better living in Maine.
The league has the corporation of all
State organizations interested in agricui-
tural development; also the transporta-

self-supporting by producing sufficient
food stuffs to supply her needs. to en-

the women and boys and girls as we'll as
the men ia these undertakings.
The league has the unqualified support
.of the State colige OF agriculture; the
grange, the State board OF agriculture,
and all other farmers organizations.
Such whole-souled cooperation OF all the
agricultural interests in the State means
results.
