BOOSTER TICKET
SALE SUCCESSFUL

The sale Of Booster Tickets being
carried out by the girls Of the High
school is being very successful in ev-
cry way and the public is responding
very generously. The fact that the
local team won their eleventh victory
this year Saturday night when they
met the strong Mandan team was an
other great incentive to make the sea-
son as wonderful as was that Of last
year. The Booster sale will close soon
and it is hoped that enough funds will
thus be raised to enable the manage
ment to be assured of funds to send
the team to the tournament at Fargo
a week from next Friday and Satur-
day. Our team has phenomenal rec
ord this year and has had for the past
three years and it is hoped that the
record Of the season thus far will con-
tinue at the tournament where they
will have the opportunity to meet the
same teams they have defeated be-
fore this year. Boost.

MISS NELSON
WON'T FIX"

Bismarck, N. d., Feb. 20. Miss
Minnie j. Nelson, superintendent of
public instruction, takes the position
that any curtailment Of the duties or
responsibilities Of that office as af-
fecting the educational affairs of
North Dakota, would be in effect to
null the election by which she was
made superintendent.
Miss Nelson makes her position
plain in letter to Sen. ]. I. Cahill
of Grant county, chairman Of the SEN
ate state affairs committee, who was
sponsor of s. B. 1874, the nonpartisan
league legislative bureau bill by
which it is proposed to take educa
tional supervision from Miss Nelson
and give it to a board appointed by
the governor.
Senator Cahill had invited Miss
Nelson to attend conference to Elk
S. B. 1874, and she writes him as fol-
lows:
Feb. II, 1919 Senator j. I. Cahill,
Bismarck, N. D.
"My Dear Senator Cahill:
II have thought a lot over our con-
versation Of Saturday night in regard
to having conference over S. B. 1874.
3Ss"You say, and others have said to
me, that it is not the desire nor the
intention Of the league to take away
from the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction any of the duties or
authority which are now delegated by
law to that officer.
g As i pointed out to,syou when we
read the bill over together, twill not
be possible to include the state board
Of education in the consolidation Of
boards and not take away most of
the duties from the superinte OF
public instruction.
"If you are sincere in your asser-
tion not to desire to interfere with
the duties of this office, conference
is not necessary, for there is no way
Of fixing up S. B. 1874 and still leav-
ing with this officer the duties now
delegated to her by law, except BY
eliminating the board Of education in
the consolidation Of boards.
81 was elected by the people of
North Dakota to perform the duties
of state superintendent of public in
struction as they now are prescribed
by law and S. B. 134 cannot be so
changed to permit that, except as l
have stated.
IF you give this serious thought,
you can not but agree with me in
this. With all kind regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
"Minnie j. Nelson"

NOTHING WRONG
EXAMINER SAYS

The following was handed us by q
prominent member and stockholder OF
the reorganized bank here this morn.
morning and was taken from the
Courier News, the league paper, at
Fargo We publish it as news just as
we did the other. The people can get
both sides from US any old time.
j. R. Waters, secretary of the state
banking board and bank examiner
who reached Fargo early this morn
ing, was asked for a statement re-
garding the story carried in the Far
go evening paper to the effect that
League men had cleaned up $57 900
on Valley City bank deal. Mr..
Waters said:
"The Forum as usual is attempting
to cast reflection on the farmers or
ganization, and the men connected
with it, by publishing false and mis-.
leading articles for which there is no
foundation.
"a Valley City national bank is
reorganizing under North Dakota law
to become a state bank. And as is
usual, the entire assets Of the bank
must be passed upon before state
charter. is granted. Because Of our
guarantee law, our examination is
more severe than that required under
national banks. Because we asked
for additional securities and demand
ed some changes in paper before
granting that state charter is no evil
dence that the men back Of the bank
are dishonest or thieves.
In fact, some forty banks in
North Dakota that had been doing
business in the state for years, had a
hard time getting under the guar
antee law because Of our severe re-
quirements. There is nothing wrong
at Valley City and the new bank,
which is meeting our requirements, is
one Of the strongest institutions in
the state.
1.-THE matter Of increase in the
value Of the bank building has Moth
ing to do with the organization of
the bank or the value of the stock,
as the more the building is raised,
the more surplus the bank will have.
fThe deal there as far as my knowl-
edge goes is legitimate, fair and hon
st, and whatever commission was
paid for promotion was outside the
bank and was stipulated openly in
the transfer which every stockhalder
knowingly agreed to and paid at the
time Of making his subscription for
stock.
"The story carried in anti-League
papers seems to me to simply be a
campaign to ,misrepresent and dis
credit an institution because it is
backed principally by farmers and

MR.. FARMER
PLEASE READ this

After carefully following the ac-
tions of the North Dakota legislature
during the present session want to
express my sentiments in regard to
bonding our great state of North Da-
kota for. state bank and several 9TH
ter purposes. The real wealth of our
state lies in the Eastern half while the
western half though quite thickly pop
ulated seldom produces a good crop
of grain, has very limited bank Gre
dts and on account of the greater
risk farmers theirs are paying a high
er rate Of interest than the farmers
in the eastern half. Yes the west half
Of the state may need state bank
capitalized by state taxation and it
may need the states sixty million dol
lar school fund distributed among its
farmers as farm loans. OF course we
poor fish in the eastern half will pay
The big volume Of taxes. We will not
get lower rate of interest than we
have now. / predict that for us money
will be harder to get and we will pay.
our higher taxes and higher rate of
interest. That is North Dakota So
cialism for you. Tax the $100 per
acre land in the eastern part Of the
state and promote the $40 per acre

state. | think this political program

only question is: Will our eastern

MISSIONARY TELLS
SOME EXPERIENCES

Miss Cecilia Cross, a former stu
dent of the Normal school for three
years and for several years now a
missionary. in Africa, occupied the
pulpit of the M. E. church Sunday
forenoon. Miss Cross gave an in
structive and inspiring account of her
work in Angola, one of the large
states on the west coast of Africa
This province belongs to Portugal and
is about the size of North and South
Dakota combined. Miss Cross is a
missionary-teacher in a school about
$50 miles inland. She not only teac
$50 miles inland. She not only teach
es but helps to carry the simple Cos
pei message to the superstition
bound, fetich7ridden population. The
main points Of her address follow:
Travelling where there was no rail
roads is either in wheelbarrow fash
ion. ir in hammock slung on bam-
boo pole carried on the shoulders Of
native men. White and black women
missionaries are usually accompanied
by 6 to 10 men and have never been
molested by them. In fact they offer
every protection even to the point of
losing their lives, so great is their
affection for them.
There is a mistaken notion in
America that the natives Of Africa
are altogether happy. They are not!
They have no religious system and
ever live in the fear of countless evil
spirits that lurk everywhere according
to their beliefthe result of centuries of
ignorance and unscrupulous, deceiv-
ing, lying witch doctors.
The gospel message is presented in
terms of their daily life and little by
little the natives are led from the
depths of despair and mental de-
gradation to the freedom which only
Christianity can bring. The story of
the Resurrection and the application
of the Ten Commandments contain the
greatest difficulties in their acceptance
by the population yet, when once em-
braced, lead to faith worthy that of
sanity classification. Witchcraft in
all its horrible manifestations is one
of if not the greatest evil that the
missionary must meet.
Does Christianity teaching make
any difference? Here the speaker
gave. several illustrations of that
boundless. faith and freedom demon
strated in the lives of young and old
that have come under her observation.
The status of women in Anola is one
Of drudgery and slavery and results
in broken lives at an early age.
Polygamy prevails with all that such
a marriage system implies.
The great Centenary NOV nsent in
it's plan to include the cause 4
sions foreign to American shvi $50
brought the greatest joy to the mis-
sionaries working in Africa and else
where. The greatest need that mis-
Esionaries have is an interest at

- vote on the proposition to issue

sarpose Of bonding to build high
school building carried yesterday by
vote of about five to one, 321 to 63
against the proposition. We are pleas

the school was needed and also that
the people of Valley City have demon
strated by their vote that they are in
favor Of getting those. things that
tend to higher and better education
for the children of the district in a
modern school room such as they
should have. The vote should have
been much larger, aid more tax pay
ers should have gone out, however
taking the vote Of yesterday had more
voted the result would have been the
same, so let us be thankful that we
have liberal minded class Of people
in Valley City who have gone on rec
ord in favor of doing something that
is to be Of great good to all concern

VALLEY CITY
DEFEATS BISMARCK

In a very fast and exciting game
the Valley City High school team de-
feated the Bismarck quint last night
on the Bismarck floor by a score Of
IA to 32. Bowen and Busdicker did
the spectacular work of the team and
Bowen managed to get the most bas-
kets regardless of teams. Wilson
played his usual stellar game but un-
der a little different formation than
usual for stragetic purposes and as
result did not get into the limelight
as much as he has during the past
few games on the home floor. It is
expected that he will give wonderful
surprise to the Mandan team tonight.
Coach Anderson worked in new for
ward last night in the person Of
George Wertin who thus far this sea-
son has not been in single game. He
gave an excellent account of himself
and it is expected that he will mater
tally strengthen the team for the re-
mainder of the season. Thayer, the
midget wonder as forward, was under
the weather last night and did not
even appear in uniform. After the
game was secured without a doubt
Coach Anderson put in his two subs
to give them additional experience
and to give the remainder Of the team
a chance to take it easy in hopes of
being able to meet Mandan tonightin
good form. Crosby Richards of Dick
inson, former U. N. D. star acted as
referee and ]. F. Taylor, Of Bismarck,
and formerly Of Uxbridge acted as
umpire. The Bismarck High school
entertained the local team very roy
ally.

Fingal Sunday morning from cry
sepelas. He had been sick for some
espilis. He had been sick for some
time and it was known for several
days that he could not live. He has
beer prominent in banking circles in
this state for many years, and was at
one time president of the North Da-
kota Bankers Association. The fu-
neral will be held this afternoon at

Saturday. A delegation Of Barnes

Bank of Rogers left this morning for
Fingal to act as escort in bringing the
