CELEBRATION OF
FOURTH

Our neighboring town OF Sanborn
turned the eagle loose right Thurs
day holding a regular old time cele-
bration. The weather was just right
and there was an immense crowd pres
ent, hundreds of automobiles lining
up the streets on both hides. The
good people of Sanborn did not make
very much fuss about their celebra-
ton but they pulled off a good one
just the same, and everybody seemed
to have a good time. The Valley City
Municipal band furnished the music
for the occasion and received many
compliments for the good music fur
nished. There were amateur horse
races, foot races of all kinds baseball
games and a big bowery dance. 1t was
one of those regular old time celebra-
tons where everybody entered into
the spirit of the day to the fullest
measure, bent on having good time.
There were also some lively automo-
bile races around seven mile course,
and for al lof these sports prizes were
put up. The Times Record congratu-
lates the people of Sanborn for the
splendid time provided the Fourth.
There were many Valley City people
present including the Times-Record
editor and his better half and we GER
tainly enjoyed the occasion.

concern capitalized at $24O,0OO
made 81 per cent. In the dalrying

to 1872 per cent. The banking bust
MSS got 81 per cent excess. Con-
tractors ran as high as 500 per cent
excess. Clothing manufacturers
went up to 191 per cent. A Touring
concern with 100000 capital
showed excess profits of 1926 2
1Oths. In 1916 he made $4,000
and in 1917 10000. AnDther
capitalized at $2S,O0O made 81 900
in 1916 and in 1917 raised it to
$4,000 an excess of 1876 per
cent. One meat packer got 2O4
per cent. On a $4,000 capital a

manufacturers got from 0 to 116
per cent excess on $4,000 capital.
A retail clothing concern got 1871

Dear Mr.. Trubshaw: Returned to

Sea Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile.
The Great Lakes stations is real
".~:eppery" city. Always a few hun
dred coming in and few hundred go

size of this camp makes it necessary
for every man to be on the job at all
times
Many additions to the station are
being built now. 1t will be only a
short time when we will have the larg-
est naval training station in the world.
If any one ever asks you the best
branch of service tell them to join
the navy. The navy has no draft,
every man is an enlisted man Twen-
ty-fve of us enlisted in Chicago for

ton with bige men here is an educa-
ton in itself.

FOURTH OF JULY
ATCHAUTAUQUA

Americas national independence
Day at Chautauqua Park was very
fittingly observed by good program
afternoon and evening. The weather
man was very good to the association
this year and put up an ideal brand of
weather for the occasion. There did
not seem to be much of stir down
town but at the park there were not
less than 4,500 people present and
every seat in the large auditorium was
occupied and hundreds were unable to
get a seat. Lieut.. Rossitier was the
speaker for the afternoon and gave a
splendid talk, reciting many of his ex-
periences behind the German lines.
The Howard Quintette furnished a
very excellent musical program that
delighted the large audience. In the
evening the program opened by
splendid concert by the Valley City
Municipal Band and right here is
where we want to hand the boys a
bouquet that is we'll deserved. The
very large audience was so pleased at
the work Of this organization that it
encored them time and time again and
made to reappear. Director Hubbard
and his band is certainly giving VAL
ley City much valued advertising from
the work of the band. After the en-
thusiastic encore last evening at the
conclusion Of the very fine program,
the band reappeared on the stage and
closed with that soul stirring much be-
loved piece "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." At that appearance of the
Howard Quintette the manager of this
institution voluntarily came forward
and told the vast audience that VAL
ley City had a real band and that the
city should be proud of it's organiza-
ton. The bouquets are we'll merited
and at Sanborn the band got the same
warm reception. It is gratifying to
director Hubbard as we'll as to the
band members to have their work ap-
preciated. Following the Howard
Quintette came that great film 'The
Crisis" Prior to this, however, the
sunset gun was fired from the big
cannon. Then after it was dark a
fine display of fireworks was touched
off concluding very successful
Fourth of July celebration.

THRIFT STAMP
REPORT MADE

The county director Of w. S. S. in
forms US that a full report Of the
campaign for pledges can not be Civ
en- at this time, as about twenty of the
school districts have not reported. OF
those who have reported the Litch-
vile district No. 81 is the banner dis
trict in every way, having secured
pledges of over $4,000. Mr.. E. H
Headland is monitor for the district
and he and the good people of Litch-
vile deserve great credit for exceed
ing their quota in this, as in the Lib
erty Loan drives.
Darcy No. IS is second with $780,
Hastings No. IS, has pledged $5,400;
Luverne No. 81, $4,000, Leal No. Sc
$4,750; Kathryn No. SO, $3,450, the c.
o. Sather Dist No. "a, $4,000; Motif
mier, $4,000, these are some Of the
very good districts, great many of
the districts however have fallen
down, and are sending in reports of
from three to four hundred dollars,
and unless recanvass is made Barnes
county will not come near raising their
quota.
The total reported so far is $4,000
about $4,000 of this was raised by
the woman's committee.
Griggs county, our neighbor, has
very much exceeded their quota, 50
has Dunn county away out in the Bad
Lands, and Hettinger county where
they say they never get a crop.
The w. S. S. Loan is in all ways,
one of the most desiable put out by
the government, while the inducement
to save was the prime object, the
amount to be raised is large and the
$370,OOO the quota for Barnes county
can not be raised unless all the school
districts take the same broad and pa
triotic view, as have the districts we
have a full report tiff y p. '590$OO
have mentioned. 1t is hoped to have
full report some time this week.

VIM. JENNINGS BRYAN

We did not miss our guess very
much when we predicted large crowd
to hear Mr.. Bryan Wednesday after
noon at the Chautauqua auditorium.
! AS near as we can figure it out there
were at least four thousand people
listening to the great commoner be-
, sides hundreds who could not get near
enough to get much benefit from the
speech. Mr.. Bryan was greeted at his
appearance by tulmutuous applause,
| then he launched out into one of his
masterful addresses that always get
the interest of his hearers. His speech
that afternoon was businesslike, pa
! triotic resume Of this country's atti-
tude and aims in the great war. ip
which we are now engaged. It was a
little different speech from the spicy
political speeches that he is apt to
make during a big campaign for
votes, and was more thoughtful, ear
nest address on what we should do to-
ward backing up the government in
prosecuting this war to a successful
conclusion. 1t was speech full of
meat and wisdom and one which caus-
ed people to think seriously of what
this country was doing at this time.
No man could do more for backing the
government that is Mr.. Bryan doing
in his lectures before the people. His
lecture was punctured hear and there
with an occasional story which
brought fourth a hearty laugh from
his hearers and then quick as flash
he would go back to his subject and
fire broadside Of cold facts about
what the country was doing in the
war. He gave the people to under
stand that their investment in govern
ment bonds was the best investment
in the world-and he said that if the
U. S. government wasn't good for the
face Of its bonds with the interest add
ed then no government on earth was
good and that if we could not stand
up under the load all the governments
of the earth would make an assign
ment before your Uncle Sam would.
We have furnished billions of dollars
to the allies as we'll as foodstuffs and
now we are going to furnish millions
of men and fight until the sovereignty
and liberty of the people Of all the
countries of the world has been freed
from the military despotism of the
kaiser. We regret being unable to
give more of Mr.. Bryan's lecture, but
it was so long that we would not have
the space to reproduce it had we the
manuscript. 1t was scholarly, mas
terful presentation of the country's
needs in these war times and made a
lasting impression upon those who
heard it.

DOG RAN OUT;
SMALL BOY KILLED

Only one report OF accident has
reached the Times-Record for Fourth
of July doings, but that one was bad
one and resulted in the death of a TO-
year-old boy. 1t seems that Albert
Updahl and family were on the way to
Spiritwood Lake driving in an auto.
A dog ran out Of farm yard which
the party was passing, and the car
ran over the dog causing the car to
topple over. The 10-year-old boy was
killed, one other occupant of the car
had leg broken and the other folks
in the car were more or less injured.
Mr.. Updahl lives in Meadow Lake
township northwest of Litchville.
Coroner Holberg and Deputy Sheriff
Larson went out there to look into
the matter. The accident happened
Thursday morning. Updahl was driv-
ing Ford car and was going about
Is miles an hour it is claimed. It GER
tainly was sad Independence Day for
himself and family.

TWO GREAT DAYS
AT CHAUTAUQUA

July 3rd and 4th proved to be ban
ner days at the Valley City Chautau-
qua. Early Wednesday people came
in to be sure to get seat to hear VIM.
]. Bryan, and when the hour Of open
ing came not only the great auditor
ium was packed but for ten feet all
around the building the people stood
in order to get the message. July 4th
the people came to celebrate our In
dependence Day and great was the
crowd. Last evening probably was
the largest crowd the Chautauqua
ever entertained with possibly one ex-
veption, at any rate the management
feel their efforts are appreciated and
again the session will prove success
full.

= If you have an extra good horse or
team, cow, hog, sheep, chickens or
anything in the line Of vegetables,
grains or grasses, why not bring it to
the fair next Monday. It will cost you
nothing but your trouble, and even
if you do not win much money, you
will find both pleasure and profit in
comparing your own produce with
what your neighbors in the county
have. Encourage the boys and girls
to bring something. The interest it
will awaken in their work will tend to
make better farmers and farmers
wives of them. We all know deep
down in our hearts that farming, the
real productive labor, is the finest bus
mess nthe world. It is the only labor
without which the world could not ex-
ist. Then why not take pride in your
work and take pride in showing the
results of that labor, encourage your
children to do the same. It will help
to keep them on the farm and away
from the cities, where there are al
ready too many useless young peo-
pie?

The report for June shows falling
off from the production of previous
months. This is partly due to the fact
that the schools of the county are
closed and partly because most every
one feels the need of little relaxation
during the warm summer months. 1t
seems however that we shall have to
catch our vacation in snatches this
summer. Barnes County Chapter has
been given the following allotments
by Division Headquarters, to be done
during the summer months:
