HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Robert Cook has enrolled as a So
phomore.
Lillian Remley and Svanhild Ami
son have visited school a number of
times the past week.
Nancy Featherstone and Lillian
Ford have been out the last few days
on account of sickness.
Helen Barnes is out of school be-
cause they have the "fu" at her home.
We all hope she will be back soon.
A number Of Fargo people came up
for the game among who were Ger
trude Stewart, Martha Crabbe and
Clara Lee, a former High school stu
dent.
Word has been received this week
that Miss Leila Jean Almstad will be
married on Feb. IL to Mr.. Robert
Bowden, of Edgemore, Sd. Miss
Olmstead has been a member of the
High school faculty for the past two
years. .r@. ....... .a
Thursday afternoon at 4:3O o'clock
the High school basket ball team
played the Normal team in a practice
game. They played in the Normal
gymnasium. The score was 10 to 26
in favor of the Normal school.
Monday when we came to school
the faculty was at meeting, much to
our delight for then we could talk
about the game Friday against Fargo.
At nine, when the faculty was still
absent we hadra "pep" meeting until
they were ready for the days work.

at very small outlay and to give the
borrower chance to pay for his
farm in a very easy way. It would
also no doubt help settle up the land
in the western part of the state. In
order to carry out this plan of course
the state would have to borrow money
from the funds of the state particu-
larly the school fund and this is one
fund that we feel should not be jeo-
pardized in this kind of speculation.
Assuming that several hundred thous-
and dollars should be loaned out of
this fund on farms in the western part
of the state perhaps millions, then we
should have several bad years, it
looks to US as if the state would be
up against it in financial way and if
it could not get the money in the
credit of the state would be impaired.
It is taking some long chances and
the scheme might work out all right
and it might turn out to be the most
disastrous thing that was ever fast
ened on the state. 1t is taking a
gamblers chance all right, but the
idea is not a bad one atthat. It is
aimed as we said to help out the I'M
der dog, putting it that way, and If it
can be successfully worked out will
be of great benefit to many poor fel-
lows who can get start this way.
But it is mighty poor business look
ing at it from cold blooded business
proposition. 1t is throwing the dice
with a chance that heads will come
up and the elements and every condi-
ton will be favorable. How many
men who are putting over this uncer-
tain and socialistic legislation would
take a similar chance in loaning out
their own private funds on the same
principle as they loan out the money
of the state? Not single one: Ev-
ery scheme these promoters put over
gives to them a ten per cent promo
ton fee. the same as it does IN these
bank organizations. The state will
have to pay somebody for all this
philanthrophy and it will be the Dor
rover and the other fellow will peck
ct nice snug sum of money for help
ing to put it over. In the same bill 1t
is proposed to loan $4,000 to those
who can pay down twenty per cent to
build homes. This would give these
people a very easy way to get'a home
for themselves. But suppose many OF
these people have bad luck and are
unable to pay interest and assess
ments. 1t would not be very long
before the state would have to step
in and take over a lot of junk in the
way Of houses whose values had de-
Perforated and consequently there
would be a great loss Of money to the
state right here. 1t is wildcat specu-
lation all right, and while we rather
like the idea it seems to be too risky
business in which to juggle with the
peoples money. However if this adj.
ministration can put over success
fully such a program we certainly
should like to see the people benefit
from it.

The question of paving the streets
of Valley City is again being agitated
in some quarters, especially in places
where those who want the paving
done do not own a dollars worth OF
real estate in the town, consequently
they will not have to foot the bill. The
editor of this paper owns property
here and is willing to pay his share
of the public improvements made and
is in favor of legitimate improve
ments all the time, but we believe that
before any paving is done we should
put through the heating system first.
If paving is done, then afterwards it
is decided to go on with the heating
plant, the streets would have to be
torn up again at a great big expense.
There is neither sense or reason IN
going to all this unnecessary expense.
We want better streets in Valley City
but we can have them with our un-
limited gravel supply without paving,
until these other improvements have
been put in. We consider the NUM-
cipal heating plant one of the 'neces-
sary things we need and something
that will be of great beneft-so is the
paving idea-but it is not necessary
to put this in until we are through
tearing up the streets for these other
improvements.

There are some signs that the high
cost of living is going to come down
and it is about time. All over the
country the past week butter fats,
butter, eggs and meats took good
sized fall but up here the market
does not seem to have been affected.
There is one very peculiar thing about
this market. When the price of any
thing goes up we get the raise here
about as quick as it flashes over the
wire, but when the market drops it
sometimes takes several days for us
to get the benefit of the drop here. 1t
seems to US that it is poor rule that
does not operate both ways. Goodness
knows there has been enough prof.
teering in every line of goods the peo-
pie need for ordinary consumption
and now that the war is over it is
about time that food stuffs and cloth
ing and all these things came down.
We were all willing to pay excessive
prices during the war because it was
case of necessity but there is abso-
lutely no need Of keeping up this ex-
cessive profteering.

California and I am the !uckiest of
all. We all were commissioned from
the ranks and are still trying to get
together again.
Capt. Holderman was with the now
famous "Lost Battalion" and after
being wounded three time refused to
give up command and stuck until the
re-enforcements mere near, although
the battalion we're then cutting their
way out and Holderman had :ceived
his last wound five days before. He
gets D. S. C.-Legion Of Honor ard
Croix de Guerre. The aeroplanes
hunted two days before locating the
battalion and then dropped food and
ammunition to them until they got out.
Entirely surrounded and out of am
munition for IL hours. That Argonne
front was rip-snorter. St. Mihiel
was the first, American only, attack
and Argonne was the first American
only sector. The last time I saw the
Americans advancing north of Lam
dres-St. George they were marching
in columns Of squads and had trucks
following with grub. The boche had
retreated so d far the observation
balloons could not locate them. The
Americans fought nearly IS days to
go IA kilometers thru the woods and
when they got into open fighting they
gained FL kilometers in one day. Its
great stuff to see and have even a
small part in, if you come out 0. k.
Now that it's all over l am like the
negro dough-boy. One negro wanted
the D. S. cross, another the Victoria
Cross, and another the Croix de
Guerre This niger didn't want any
of those, all he wanted to "cross the
Atlantic"
Do not know how or when we will
get back but have asked for immedi-
ate and complete separation and also
have put in resignation and if any,
thing comes Of it want to go back by
way of North Dakota and want to
know what you think of dad coming
out to California with me. There are
quite few of his old cronies scatter
ed around out there and think he
would be satisfied Have lots of room
for him and know that Myrtle would
be more than glad to have him come.
What do you think?
Some outfits are on the way home
now. We had questionerre of what

Dear Brother-The company now

bridges and two ferries to guard be-
sides numerous other details. The
39th Infantry is policing Coblenz and
our station is just across the Rhine.
The marines are patroling the river
in power boats and altogether it is
a thoroughly policed district. The
American sector is from Mayence to
Cologne and the 3rd Army or Army
of Occupation is composed of the
honor troops of the A. E. F. The 1st,

depot or replacement division. Have
seen but very few of them as I was
over six weeks ahead and knew what
they would be up against, so worked
until l got an assignment to the End.

Is it any wonder that the people
of the country-we mean the laboring
and common classes-grunlble and
growl and spread socialism when they
read in the daily newspapers that a
woman is wearing a coat that cost
$4,000. But it is a fact just the
same. Mrs. W. E. Cory, wife of the
steel magnate, has a Russian sable
coat valued at $4,000. Just think of
the tremendous waste of money when
there is so much misery in the world
for the want of money to alleviate
suffering. Just think what the price
of this coat would do. It would pay
the salary of the president of the
United States for one year, would
build modern schoolhouse, a 400 ton
ship, buy $500 tons of coal, clothe
500 women for year or buy 5000
$500 coats, or buy 100000 loaves
