and more in accord with the spirit Of
our men then a cold marble shaft.
Funds Cor this purpose could be rails
ed more easily If they were raised in
the form of Liberty Bonds. The bonds
can be used as money when the time
comes to build, and wouldn't this give
our people, who responded 50 nobly
during the government campaigns for
money, another opportunity to do a
great work with the money they in
vested to aid the government. Sup
posing every investor in bonds in
Barnes county would give at least a
$50 or 500 bond toward this great
memorial, thing Of what building we
could erect.
The people Of our county should
think this proposition over, and re-
member it will serve double pur4
pose. First, as fitting memorial for
our soldier boys. Second, as a nucleus
from which to maintain a great demo-
cracy after our boys having saved it:
President Poincare referring to
their community building made the
following remark: "Come with me
now to the Common House and tell
me if you. know of more beautiful
name than this the Common House
There is open to the poor as to the
rich; that is to speak the domestic
center, the home Of the village itself"
Let us build a great Liberty Hall,
and let our Liberty Bonds to this
work. #

REV. l. 6. M0ULTRIE
RESIGNS AS RECTOR

Rev. L. G. Moultrie, who for nearly
twenty years has been rector of All
Saints Episcopal church in this city,
has resigned and will leave on Fri
day of this week for Fort Smelling,
Mimi, where he will take charge Of
the Red Cross work there. No man
will be missed as much as Mr.. Moul-
trie in this community. He has not
only been at the head of the Episco-
pal church here, but he has been iden-
titled with the administrative, social
and lodge life of the community dur
ing this period. He is at present one
of our aldermen, and a good one, too.
He has been secretary of the various
Masonic bodies all these years and in
this capacity he will be missed. In
taking up the Red Cross work Mr..
Moultrie> is going into something more
to his liking as he likes Red Cross
work. We shall miss him at Valley
City, but the soldier boys at Fort
Smelling are going to gain friend
who has a large human interest in
their welfare-one who will be chum
with the boys and one who knows the
life of the average young man, and
how to help make that life more
pleasant-in other words we know of
no man in the country who could bet
ter fill such position than can Rev.
L. G. Moultrie. He can sympathize
with them in their trouble, laugh
with them in their joys, and is always
willing to extend the right hand of
good fellowship to all who deserve it.
He will be great success, The edi-
tor Of the Times-Record is not alone
in saying that Mr.. Moultrie will be
missed. When he is your friends he
is a staunch one-but he is not your
friend unless you deserve it. We are
going to wish him abundant success
in his new field and in this we are
going to have the second Of hundreds
in this community and others over
the state who have his personal ac-
Ouaintance.

PIE HAVE GOOD time

A bunch of ten jolly matrons from
the capital of Griggs county, maroon
ed in Valley City on account Of the
blockade of their branch line yester-
day, put in a solid day Of good time,
shopping, visiting, attending the
movies, etc. One Of them told the
editor that they guessed Valley City
would know that Cooperstown was
represented in the city, as they were
tagged everywhere they went. They
had a fine time, despite the cold
weather they said, and when they left
for home this morning they were
happy bunch of matrons. Last night
Mrs. VIM. Story was hostess to "a the
atre party for them at the Grand,
after which the Worthy Matron Of the
Cooperstown Lodge, Mrs. Herbert
Langford, banqueted them to refresh
ments at Stern Bros, Main street
emporium and they had a good time
there, then they adjourned to the Ru-
dolf and played cards, etc. During the
day time they made raid on some Of
the stores where they keep those nice
things that women like to wear-hats,
dresses, etc., and made some pur
chases, and we saw some of them car
rying hat boxes as large as Saratoga
trunks. They went some from morn.
ing until night. Come again. IL

Pure BRED STOCK
SALE FOR Y. c.

Secretary Moe informs us this
morning that The Breeders Service
Company Of Chicago will hold one of
their pure bred bull sales in Valley
City during the first week of April.
They will offer for sale pure bred
Herefords and short horns, mostly
one and two years old. It is expect
ed that they will offer about 100 for
sale at this point. This is one Of the
largest organizations in the United
States who deal in nothing but pure
bred stock. Every animal comes with
a pedigree and quality is their slogan
Valley City is fortunate in getting
this organization to come to this point
as it will be a great opportunity for
our farmers to get into the pure bred
game and get stock which they know
is right. Remember this sale will
take place in Valley City during the
first week of April. Tell your farmer
friends who are interested in good
stock and arrange to come and look
them over. -

Depths to which Brinton and his
gang have stopped in order to put
over this bill by which they are to
personally profit, and by which they
are to carry into execution what
at muzzling the press of the state
that ever has been witnessed, have
been many. It is positively known
that they have misrepresented to
independent senator's the position
taken by the independent newspapers
Of the state, in the hope of influnc-e
ing thin to vote for the scheme.
introduced originally without pro-
vision for designation by the state
printing commission of official news
papers for the period beginning i'm
mediately the law becomes operative
and extending to the time of tn next
election. Brinton's real scheme was
brought to light only after the So
called program bills had been ap-
proved. When those were passed
and out Of the way, Brinton came
forward with the scheme for having
the papers appointed. Originally, the
printing commission membership in
cluded the attorney general, the
commissioner Of agriculture and la
Dor, and the secretary of state. Late
ly, however, the attorney general has
displayed a degree of independence in
two or three matters vitality affecting
the league bureaus schemes that it
was deemed advisable to take the at
torney general off the commission
and place Prater, as land commission
er on it.
In addition to B. 157 which pro-
vides for the one legal newspaper in
each county, there are a group of
other bills providing for the method
of electing official newspapers after
the original two-year period, and 9TH
err bills which provide for the publ
cation of every legal publication of
each and every description in such
legal newspaper
All of those bills were passed with
the emergency clause.
With the adoption of the emergen-
cy it will be possible for the league
newspaper bureau to carry into i'm
mediate effect it's scheme Of desig-
mating the official NEWSPAPERS, re-

dunn petitions are filed against them.

An important business transaction
was closed Monday, Feb. "a, whereby
John Piller purchased the Grand and
Rex theaters in this city. Mr.. Piller
has been over the country good deal
of late years, but nowhere did he find
the advantages that Valley City has
to offer. He is one of the oldest and
probably one of the most successful
men in the, moving picture business in
North Dakota today. His long and
thorough experience in the business
will enable him to give the patrons Of
the Grand and Rex theaters the best
there is in the line of motion pictures.
Mr.. Piller is from Grafton and after
school is over will move his family to
Valley City. The Times-Record well
comes them to the city and wishes Mr..
Piller abundant success.

LIBERTY BONDS;
LIBERTY BUILDING

The memory of a great past is the
inspiration of great present, and the
country which honors its great men
has the prospect of producing more
in the future. The gratitude of free
people will undoubtedly lead them to
erect some kind of memorials to the
heroic men who in this war sacrificed
their lives that liberty might live.
In an interview with Secretary Moe
of the Commercial club this morning,
he stated that he is working on pro-
position for memorial as fitting
tribute to our heroic men who have
served, and who offered to serve, our
great country and battle for the free
dom of the world. There seems to be
growing conviction that the con
ventional stone shaft placed in a
graveyard among the dead, or even in
the public square is not fitting me-
mortal to those who died for freedom
and to those who fought in the great
battles of the Worlds War. Would
it not be more fitting to erect. me-
mortal taking the form of great
community building, in which should
be a great auditorium, with seating
capacity of a couple Of thousand. A
large assembly room, to be used for
social games, dances and gymnasium
purposes; class rooms, reading rooms,
work shop; library, swimming pool,
general gymnasium, great rest room
in which should be an open fireplace
that would add cheer and good will
to the surroundings. A building in
which all the large and many of the
smaller gatherings Of the county
could be held. A building in which
the people of the country could look
upon as their own. A meeting place
for all who came to visit the hub of
our county Rest rooms, with toilets
and wash rooms where the weary
traveller or the shopper from afar
could take Their rest after their busy
hour. Where the soldier. boys and
their friends could gather. Where J
the young men and the women Of the |
county could enjoy the indoor athle-
tic sports which is becoming so pop
ular. Where the great community
spirit of an entire county could be
developed for the betterment Of all |
our people. Would not this be a more
fitting memorial to our brave boys
who did their part in the saving of
Democracy? Such building would
stand for the real democratic spirit |
and surely would be more appropriate

Under the caption ITO What do
They Return" the Courier News, the
socialistic mouthpiece and kept press
of the league, hypocritically editor
allies on the return of the soldier
boys of North Dakota. This is the
paper who is bound, hand and foot,
by the socialist clique, who aided in
every way to hamper the war and
back up all sorts of seditious speak
ers that are now sticking out the right
left hand it no doubt has sharp still
letto. We miss out guess if the soldier
boys will relish a welcome from this
outfit. Answering the question Of "To
What do They Return" we will do it
for them. The boys are returning to
a state where it's legislature, controll-
ed and operated like machine by a
bunch of red card socialists, have said
that the red flag Of anarchy can wave
in North Dakota. They are coming
back to state where this same leg
islature with fawning servitude' to
this same bunch of socialists, have
passed a bill that muzzles free and in
dependent speech so far as they can
in order to build up big machine and
provide revenue for press bureau Of
their own. They are coming back to
a state where the same bunch have
been trying to harass and put out of
business a woman elected by great
majority to supervise the schools of
the state. They are coming back to a
state where by misconstruing the con-
stitution they have put the sky the
limit for the state to go into any kind
of business it chooses using the school
funds to do it with or any other old
fund they like. They are coming back
to a state where this boss controlled
legislature has passed bills that will
bow down the necks of all classes with
excessive taxation, and they are COM
ing back to a state that is the jibe and
the laughing stock Of all the other
states in the union who are turning
also their sympathetic eyes to us in
our dire extremity. Contemplate the
scene men of the North Dakota regi-.
ments. How do you like the welcome
the great socialist mouth piece is
handing out to you Thank God the
minority of real patriotic American
citizens will welcome you back with
all the fervor and earnestness it is
possible to do, glorying in your record
while on the other hand the Bolshe-
vikes and I. w. WIS welcome you
simply because they want to appear
right-but they are not right. That
is what the boys are returning to.

w, s. s,

The bill muzzling the state press
and providing real revenue for
league papers only, has passed the
senate with the emergency clause at
tached. On Wednesday Senator Mol
timer voted against the bill and we
had an editorial ready to give that
gentleman credit for being a fair
minded man, but the next day Boss
Townley "spoke" to Mr.. Noltimier
and one or two others and the bill was
reconsidered and passed with the
emergency clause, Mr.. Noltimier's
vote doing the business. We are sorry
that our senator has proven to be a
broken reed, because we had felt all
the time he would be fair in these
matters but our judgment was mis-
placed. The newspaper bill passed by
the senate is one of the rawest and
rankest pieces of legislation ever at
tempted by any body. It provides that
only one newspaper shall publish le-
gals of any character so that the peo-
pie Of neighboring towns must and
are compelled to take the league pa
per if they want to know what is 60:
ing on. Attorneys and others are not
allowed to publish any kind of legal
in any paper but the league paper. We
do not say a word about the paper Sc
lected by the county to publish it's
commissioner proceeding - that gen
orally goes by rotation or according
to the complexion Of the board, but
when they go so far as to say that no
other paper outside of the one league
paper can publish legal notice that
is the limit. The Times-Record has
been published for going on to forty
years, yet the boss ridden legislature
says it cannot publish a legal notice.
Personally we are going to make a
living without this work, but we are
sorry for lot Of papers in the small
towns who will have to suspend for
lack Of business. 1t is a great law
that is aimed to shut off public dis
cussion of general topics and also
more directly aimed to build up ma
chine that is to circulate and foster
the spreading Of socialistic propa-
ganda that will be disastrous to the
state. We are ashamed of every leg
islator who has voted for this meas
ure and would advise every one of
them to go to Russia which is in the
grip of the Bolshevikes and anarchists
that is the proper place for men
whose minds are so warped by har
row conviction that they cannot be
fair minded. Shame on the whole out
fit who voted for this bill. Everyone
of them will blush with shame when
they think of it and we know darned
well they are ashamed Of their vote
right now but they had to do the bid
ding Of the big boss. Oh Lord, how
long has North Dakota got to stand !
for this kind Of thing?
