The church was packed with In

the pastor, preached on How I Know

from First Corinthians, 10, s, .There
are diversities Of operations, but us

"The more life there is. the greater

Then as no tive persons look, feel, act.

BOOSTER TICKETS
FRIDAY AND SAT |

Since the district tournament in
basket ball has been taken from Val
ley City it means that the local team
will have a financial problem which
they have not been called upon to face
before in the history of the game
here. The expense to take team to
Fargo for two or three days will be
very great and this will have to be
met by the receipts from the games
held during the season. This season
the team has been greeted with a
good crowd at almost every game and
the team has surely proved their
worth in that connection. They have
won every game played either at
home or away and have excellent
chances for the district tournament.
However the games have cost more
this year than previously for various
reasons and great effort is being
made to make the last game on the
home floor a real success as the fl
nances and spirit. The team needs the
towns support in both these respects
and it surely will receive it after the
excellent demonstration in every way
that the towns people of Valley City
showed last year to the winning team.
This year the team has shown the
same spirit and has won all the games.
In order to meet this demand the man
agement have decided to make a sale
in advance of tickets called Booster
Tickets for the purpose of a crowd
filled with enthusiasm and to make
a trip to the tournament a possibility.
This was decided to be better method
Of getting sufficient funds than to ask
for gifts by petition. The sale will be
made by a few very popular high
school girls on Friday and Saturday
of this week for the game with Coop
erstown on February 28th. The price
of these tickets will be one dollar. Be
Booster. Have another state cham
pionship team this year.

It makes the editor of this paper
feel good to read the following writ
ten by the editor of weekly news
paper published in western New
York, a paper that was established
ninety Eight years ago, in personal
letter written to local business man
and former schoolmate of the vigor-
Gus editor, who voices vigor and COM
mon sense combined, as follows:
"There are times when it is neces-
sary to use language with the force Of
dynamite in order to educate the pub
lie, because to arouse the people and
make them think is almost as diff
cult as blasting rocks, and requires
the same kind of material.
II am not in sympathy, as you evil
IDENTIFY realize, with socialism, Boil
shevism or -foolishness, and this
is the trinity that seems to be attract
ing the average mind in all countries
at the present time. If the people are
not awakened to the danger of these
movements the ditch will be their des-
tination. l believe in government by
selecting intelligence instead Of col
lective ignorance, and mean to do
what / can to teach the people to fol-
low the steady white light Of reason
instead Of the consuming flames Of
anarchy and hysteria. l have more
confidence in the wisdom Of the faith
ers who founded this republic than I
have in the noise Of their hysterical
sons"

MERELY COM.
mon SENSE

Washington, Feb. There is no
mystery about the work of refrain
ing war disabled men, so as to make
them efficient" today declared DR..
Chas. A. Prosser, dictator of the fed
eral board for vocational education:
"It is simply the application OF good
common sense education and good
Judgment. It is merely the utiliza-
ton of the abilities remaining to the
disabled man, which can be so trained
as in most cases to be just as effec-
tive if not more so, than the ones
which he lost by reason Of his injuries.
at is surprising the number of
things man is capable of doing. II
he has been engaged in an occupation
which requires the use. of his leg,
such as operating a foot power press,
we do not throw away his trade
knowledge, but he is educated to use
his hand, or perhaps the stump of his
leg by means of special adjustment,
and can continue doing that which he
knows best just as we'll as before he
received his injury, or if he is disin-
clined to continue that work, he is re-
educated for some other phase of the
same industry which he knows well,
and which appeals to him, thus pre-
serving his trade knowledge.
"This re-education is given in the
various industries and factories as
we'll as in the leading technical and
trade schools of the country. It is
absolutely free to the disabled man;
if he is single, he is given sos month
support fund, all other expenses being
paid, and if married or there are 9th
dependents, a larger allowance is
made.
"The federal board for vocational
education is anxious to get in touch
with all disabled, discharged men, and
will gladly correspond with them
about their cases. The address is
simply Washington, D. c."
Manager Robinson, of the Grand
theater informs US that he will run a
big double feature Friday and Satur-
day with Kitty Gordon in "Tinsel" and
Charley Chaplin in his first million
dollar comedy, "A Dogs Life"
