The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1919-05-01


We figure it out that it depends alto
gether on your occupation. If you lay
brick, eight hours; if you keep house,
sixteen hours; if you preach the Cos
pei two hours; if you are a porter in
a sleeping car, twenty hours; If you
serve the government, one hour; and
if you are newspaper man, twenty
four hours.

A practical committeeman, in pre-
senting diplomas last June to grad
uating class spoke as follows: "Girls,
in presenting you these diplomas, if,
by their significance you are led to
allow your mother to do all the work,
bake all the bread, sweep all the
floors because you can read Latin or
demonstrate thereon in geometry,
then has your school been a most un-
fortunate course, and in all the teach
ings you have ever received at my
hands, l trust there has been no les
son that has weaned you from the
dish pan. Boys, if from this gradua-
ton you go out into the world too
nice to carry wood and swill the hogs,
if need be, then has our school failed
in it's purpose and sown the wrong
seed"

1t might interest many people to
know lust what it is costing the gov
eminent to pay these war bills. In
December for all purposes it cost $2,-
76O 100000; in January it cost 81 $780,
100000; in February it cost $780,
000, 100; in March it cost 81 ,38O, 900 900.
1t will cost two billion and half more
dollars to demobilize the troops
Don't you think you ought to go down
in your pockets and buy some bonds
just now to help out Uncle Sam? He
sent the boys of the country to fight
for your freedom, you should be will
ing to help pay the bill, especially as
you were allowed to remain comforta-
bly, at home while the boys did the
fighting. Wake up.

The farmers at Strasburg, N. D.,
subscribed for one of these consum-
ers stores but up to the last few days
did not get the store. They put up a
lusty complaint and their bowls were
loud and long. A day or two ago
box Of goods was shipped from the
consumers store at jamestown to es-
tablish the store at Strasburg. At
jamestown the farmers put up $780,
900 for their store and we understand
that they have from $1,000 to $4,000
worth of stuff. Where did it all 20
to, this $4,000. 1t must have been
shot for league propaganda to pay
for the services of that great and good
patriot Walter Mills and few Of his
class.

Here is list Of questions for the
wide-aWake boysl Can you answer al.
of them? You can any day see a white
horse, why do you never see white
colt? How many different kinds Of
trees grow in your neighborhood, and
what are they good for? Why does
horse eat grass backward and COW
forward? Why does a hop vine al
ways wind one way, and a bean vine
another? Where should the inside of
chimney be bigger, at the top or
bottom, and why? Can you tell why
horse when tethered to a rope,
always unravels it, while a cow al
ways twists it into kinky knots? Why
do leaves turn upside down just be-
fore rain? What is the length of
horses head-is it as long as flour
barrel? What animals have no upper
teeth in front, and why?

State Auditor Kositzky and Walter
W. Liggett, prominent nonpartisan
league man, are to discuss the taxa
ton problems in the auditorium at
Bismarck tomorrow in joint debate.
Mr.. kosltzky is not an orator, nor
does he claim to be one, but he has a
way of putting forth his facts in a
fearless and honest manner and his
arguments backed by figures are sure
to have much weight. The debate will
be one of great interest as all the big
league fellows are headed for the
Capital City as we'll as scores of other
workers in the nonpartisan league.
Mr.. Townley will see to it that the
state auditor has an audience and we
rather look for warm time at Bis
nlarck tomorrow.

A newspaper is in no sense a child
of charity. It earns twice over every
dollar it receives and it is second to
no enterprise in contributing to the
upbuilding of community. Its pa
irons reap far more benefits from its
pages than it's publishers, and in call
ing for support Of the community in
which it is published, it asks for no
more than in all fairness belongs to
it, though generally it receives less.
There are many people reading the
Times-Record who are doing so know
