Every day that President Wilson o..
cupies his position of chief magis-
trate of this great nation of ours, ev-
cry day he becomes stronger in char
acter and in the way he performs his
duty. The president several times re-
Gently in his vetoes has shown that he
is with the people all the time. Yes
terday he vetoed big appropriation
bill which had in it the raising of the
hours for the government workmer
but the bill did not provide for any
compensation for overtime work these
men might do. This is the proper at
titude for the president to take. In
every case where it has been necessary
for the chief executive of the nation
to step in and show congress th9
straight and narrow path, he has done
it unfinchingly and resolutely. Con
gress is realizing by this time that
there is man in the White House
who has mind of his own as we'll as
good judgment.

Valley City is to have real non
partisan newspaper if the organiza-
ton which was formed at Valley City
last Saturday goes ahead, and there
is no reason why they shouldn't. The
new paper is to be called the Farmers
Opinion and the organization is to be
capitalized at $4,000. H. R. Bruins Of
Oriska, N. D., is elected president, and
our own VIM. Olson, formerly assis-
tant fire marshal who resigned on &C.
count of i'll health, is the vice presi-
dent. Elmer Wicks is secretary and
treasurer and John Mcintyre and c..
J. Olson are the other directors. 1t is
not settled yet where the new paper
will have it's offices or whether one of
the town papers will be bought and
made into a league paper, but these
things will be forthcoming in due sea-
son. This action on the part of the
league members has been expected for
some time. 1t is the policy pursued
all over the state where the league
has purchased papers. The starting
of this paper in Valley City is not un-
expected. 1t has been forecasted for
many months. There is something
more to this paper business than the
mere purchase of stock and putting in
a plant. The payment of an editor
and high priced printers comes around
with alarming regularity and are bills
that must be met. Then the paper
bill is not small item to say nothing
of all the incidental expenses of rum
ming the plant. But we should worry.
1t is different with this kind of a pa
per than with one like this-we have
30 go on our footing and business abil-
ity while the league papers will have
the farmers to pay the bills. We'll
come to our little city.

no light job we can assure you, but

Railroad Commissioner NJ. P. john
son was in the city this morning on
the way to Jamestown where he went
to attend the meeting of the railroad
commission on some electric lighting
plant proposition. Fargo, Jamestown
and other towns are having big time
over the boost in prices and the COM
mission has to decide the matter.
Better buy the plant and make money
like Valley City is doing.
Embertson & Olson on Saturday
sold three Of those Fordson tractors
to farmers around here. They say
they can sell more than they can get
and that it does not need salesman
to do the selling either-they do their

Sutton's sister Mrs. Frank Sanford.
Secretary Harvey Taylor of the
Normal school announces that there,

certifcation.

The coal question is going to be
one that will touch the pocketbook of
the poor as we'll as of the rich this
coming winter. The price of hard coal
in Valley City is quoted today at SIS
per ton, and mind you this price is not
fixed by the dealers here but by the
government. With so much noise
about profteering echoing through the
wings of the senate and house Of rep
resentatives chambers in Washington
it would seem to us that the. govern
ment should investigate this coal
question and cut down the price. The
poor people of the northwest are 60
ing to have hard time of it this Win
ter. Take the flour proposition for
another example. When you buy
your quota of -four with its substi-
tutes it is costing you something over
$40 per forty-nine pounds. The gov
eminent is wise to this profiteering
Why not put stop to it. Last week
we read in the press dispatches that
the price of print paper had been fix
ed at lower rate, yet the Times
Record is compelled to pay ten dol
lars per ton more for its print paper
than it did ten days ago. Is it any
wonder that people complainant
complain rightly, too. Take all kinds
of eatables, they have advanced too
high all along the line, but because it
is necessary, but because the big man.
ufacturers are hogging it and taking
advantage of the war situation. 1t is
time the government got a strange
hold on profteering and strangled
some of these greedy manufacturers
until they let go their hold on the
people.

President George A. McF arland has
rendered his resignation to the Board
Of Regents as president of the State
Normal school at Valley City. This
action on the part of Mr.. Mcfarland
has been expected for some time
under the circumstances which have
come about. For twenty-six or
seven years Mr.. Mcfarland has given
the best he has had in him towards
building up a great big educational
institution, and that he has succeeded,
the present beautiful state institution
with its imposing buildings and beau
Ciful grounds stands as monument
of the work, as head of the institu-
ton. Mr.. Mcfarland, starting in as
he did with two room building down
town, the institution under his pres
idency has grown until it is recog-
nized as one of the leading educational
institutions of the northwest. Per-
haps others might have achieved the
same success-but that does not de-
tract from Mr.. McFarland's incub-
bency He has been at the head of it
all these years and under his man.
agement has been a great success
and he is entitled to the credit. 1t
may be that he is human like the
rest of US and mistakes have been
made-but if he has made any they
certainly have not been serious ones
because the growth of the institution
under his presidency shows that he
has been a success as compared with
Mayville and other institutions in
comparison who have had the same
chance to grow that the Valley City
normal has. Just why Mr.. Mcfarland
is to go is only a matter of politics,
we think, but these things come about
occasionally as radicalism gets con-
troll of state affairs. However, he has
resigned, and will soon pass out of
the front door of the institution he has
so ably presided over as private cit
izen when his successor is appointed,
which no doubt will be in the near fu-
ture. "By their work We shall know
them" Mr.. McFarland's work has
been very good and he will leave the
institution as it's president with the
keen regret Of thousands of alumni all
over the state as we'll as thousands
of friends who have followed his work
and have become acquainted with him
all the years he has been building up
this great institution. He should ha' e
been retained until he was ready 20

After reading the telegraph news
given out by the government we are
led to wonder why it is that after find
ing out these things these profteers
are allowed to continue to graft the
people. Just think of some firms get
ting over two thousand per cent ex-
cess profits while the lowest given was
thirty-seven per cent. It is no wonder
that the common people of the land
are complaining of these things. Yet
when a bond issue comes around the
poor people of the nation give vastly
more in proportion for bonds and Red
Cross work than these grafters who
are squeezing the life out of the poor
people of the land. Our government
should not allow these pirates to prey
upon the people and it is time that
they were stopped and stopped imme-
diately. The people of the working or
middle classes of the country are do
ing their uttern:cst and saving all
along the line to conserve foods so
that they can contribute to the gov
eminent in the purchase of bonds and
Thrift Stamps while these piratical
profiteers are boarding up money by
the millions while the poor are grow
ing poorer trying to pay exhorbitant
prices imposed upon them by these
vultures. There is no valid excuse for
all these exceptionally high prices for
the necessities of life. 1t is necessary
for some increase in price on account
of advance in the wages paid for the
manufacture of them, but there is no
excuse for any such profits in meats,
clothing, eatables of all kinds, as are
now being squeezed from the people
of the country. Congress has an in
vestigation every once in awhile and
reports filling thousands Of pages of
type written matter are placed on ex-
hibit, while the senators and repre-
sentatives in bursts Of oratory that
are afterwards sent out to the sweat
ing constituents, tell of the wrongs in
flicted, but somehow or other that
seems to be about as far as they go.
Why not put strangle hold on these
profteers and choke the wind out of
them until they come down to a fair
and equitable basis for doing business
without taking it out of the masses
DO you blame the common people for
getting socialistically inclined? We
don't. Two weeks ago some commits
sion appointed by the government fix
ed the price of print paper at lower
rate than we were paying. Since then
the price has advanced &c a pound.
Who is getting this excess profit? 1t
all comes out of the people. We are
compelled to raise our prices to keep

MACHINERY
READY FOR FARMERS
APPLICATION BLANKS AND IN
STRUCTIONS ARE RECEIVED
BY THE LOCAL BOARD.

Farm furlough machinery was on
Friday installed in the selective ser
vice organization of Georgia.
The local board has received from
Major Joel B. Mallet, officer, in
charge of the draft in this state,
printed blanks for applications and
complete instructions for their use.
County Farm Agent J. L. Allen
also has blanks for use of farmers in
making application for furloughs,
and they may be obtained by seeing
him.
A new rule came with the informa-
ton. 1t provides that men who are
granted furloughs (none have yet
been granted to Georgia mem must
pay their own expenses to and from
the farms. The boards are not au-
thorlzed to issue transportation or
ders in these cases.
1t has been definitely decided that
all applications for furloughs involv-
ing men of organizations now being
moved to embarkation points will be
refused on the ground that they
would Interfere with the military
organization. Georgia men in the de-
pot brigades or organizations not
soon to be sent cover there" are ELI
glble, however, and many of them
will be given Burroughs, it is said.

material there has been received by

men who are accepted for enlist
ment by the emergency fleet agents,
after they have received notice to
entrain for military camp, must
proceed to the military camp regard

A Superiority OF TALK
EMANATES FROM CONGRESS
An Official Report Shows That the
Flood of Oratory Has Greatly
Increased in Latter Years.

Even talk is more expensive in war
time. That is, the country has to pay
more for transcribing and printing
congressional oratory.
The food of talk has increased at
an alarming rate at Washington. The
flood has increased to such an extent
that the volume of debate in the last
nine years constitutes one-third of
the 100000 pages of the Congress
sional Record issued since publication
was begun 43 years ago. This was
disclosed by the house appropriations
committee in making public statistics
compiled by Fred Irland and George
c. Lafferty, official house reporters.
The statement shows that the high
water mark was reached in the 63d
congress, when 81 ,432 pages were
used, as against S,432 in the AID con-
gress. The record of the 63d made
81 three-inch volumes, which laid one
on top of another, would make pile
nearly nine feet high. The quantity
of product the official reporters of
deabtes turn out in the house is now
three times as great as it was when
that reporting corps was established
in 1875.

Papa Can Keep His Old Millions
If Youth Can Only Marry Actress

NEW ORLEANS, La.-Father's
millions, made in the paint business
in Cleveland, Ohio, can go into the
discard if only Sergeant William
Caldwell Cottingham, 81, ever gets
beyond the reach of power of those
millions. For the sergeant would
much rather have love in a cottage
with Miss Edna May Sperl, who con-
fesses to IS years and some expert
ence on the stage, than all the money
Father Cottingham has devoted a
lifetime to amassing
In the meantime the sergeant is
wondering what the camp command
er at Camp Sherman is going to do
in the matter of pushing charges of
absenting himself without leave and
Miss Sperl is wondering just how
much longer she is going to find a
shadow at her heels. The solution
would be to renounce each other for
ever, but both the sergeant and the
pretty little actress scorn that kind
of a way out.
They met in Cleveland and they
have met since every time young Mr..
