I have attended many impressive ceremonies in my life but none made as great an impression on me as did the military funeral of a young man of my town. He was member of the local militia, and being of prominent family and very popular, he was buried with great honor. I can recall as though it were but yesterday, how the firing squad drew up and the shots rang out over his grave.

QUARTET GIVES
SACRED CONCERT

An audience that filled every seat
and all available standing room
gathered early last night at the M. E.
church to listen to the Chicago Male
Quartet give one of the finest sacred
concerts heard here for some time.
Their coming had been advertised for
some time past: Those who have
heard these gentlemen before on a
lecture course program were eager to
hear them in different type of con-
cert.
The concert last night was particu-
larly enjoyable and e'evating be-
cause Of the jud;cious selections Of
the numbers given. Each member
appeared in a solo selection which
gave him opportunity to bring out his
special talent in a high degree.
We can predict that the quartet
will have a large and appreciative
audience any time they come our way
again.

held Sunday in the Commercial club

II. A. Patterson, of Mankato,
NIinn., and L. S. Ward, manager of
the Valley City Grocery Co., arrived
Sunday on No. and met with the
iobbers' committee Of the Commerce
ial club and other business men. Just
what the name of the new wholesale
grocery company will be has not
been determined as yet
The new concern will be one of a
c:.ain of like stores operated on the
main line of the Northern Pacific,
one being located at Bismarck and
one at Valley City. There is a pos

BANKERS WILL
GO TO LAKES

When the executive council of the
winter meeting held in Fargo Decem-
ber l1th, someone said, Lets make
the 1919 convention a big frolic and
jubilee meeting now that the war is
over and the glory and honor of our
flag established throughout the entire
world, Let's have a great big two
days picnic at one Of the Detroit,
Minn., lake resorts" Someone else
said, "We have already accepted the
invitation to hold our 1919 convention
at Valley City," Vice President Ear
ley said, II will see if the Commercial
club and city officials of Valley City
viii consent to postponement of the
meeting in our city" and so the con-
vention committee Of arrangements
was instructed to await Instructions
from Vice President Farley before
making any definite convention plans.
And now comes Vice President
Farley with the information that VAL
Icy City will graciously resign her
right and title to the 1919 convention
but not her interest and that Valley
City bankers and business men will
heartily enter into the plan for ju-
blee session Of the convention this
year at a lake resort. So the frolie
and jubilee meeting goes. A prelime
mary survey of the accommodations
at the Lake Melissa resort indicates
ample accommodations for all who
will attend the convention, with plen-
ty Of boats and fishing tackle, and
ample dancing pavilions. Vice Pres
ident Farley says he will take care of
a part of the overflow, if there is one,
at his cottage, and the Graystone Ho-
tel in Detroit will accommodate many
who will drive to Detroit by auto and
can run back and forth from Melissa
to Detroit as it may be necessary.
Only small percentage of North
Dakota people know very much about
the attractions and beauty Of the
Detroit Lake region. The numerous
lakes, beautiful drives and many ma
tural attractions, together with splen-
did roads in all directions from De-
troit which lead through lake and
forest scenery that cannot be rus
passed, combine in making won
delful place for an outing. Parties
can be made up to visit 1tasca Park
and many interesting places within
easy reach by automobile, and in this
way week or more could be pleas
antly spent in extending the outing.
The 1919 convention will be "some
convention" with only the short bust
ness session actually necessary and
the balance of the time devoted to
'fun and frolic."
Reservations for accommodations
should be made early through the as
sociation office. The dates will be
July 10 and II.

LIVELY MEETING OF (
COMMERCIAL CLlg

The monthly meeting of the y ey
City Commercial club was held . es-
day evening at the city hall. tIesi-
dent Ward presiding. The president
in his opening remarks explained that
the entertaining of the returned SOL
dier boys was made special order of
business for this meeting. Secretary
Moe outlined what had been proposed
and read an article on the Massachus-
etts plan which proved very interest
ing. There were about SO members
out and all were vitality interested in
this proposition. The proposition was
talked over from all sides and mo-
tion was finally passed asking the
president to appoint a committee Of
seven who would be in charge of gen.
eral arrangements and with full pow
er to appoint subcommittee. The
plan will probably be for several
great gatherings, inviting all Of the
soldier boys of Barnes county in one
great, grand reunion, also should
Company G return as a unit a great
welcome will. be given them on their
arrival. The plans will be thorough
ly worked out and we feel st.- red
great events are to come.
Secretary Moe announced that ex-
Governor L. B. Hanna had consented
to come to Valley City shortly after
JAM. 20 and speak before the Com
mercial club at their monthly supper.
After some discussion it was decided
to ask the governor if he would speak
in public SO as to give all of the peo-
pie of Valley City an opportunity to
hear his great message. Capt. Han
ma spent year in Red Cross work in
France and has a great message.
Mr.. James Grady stated to the club
that Representative Olson had stated
to him that there was chance of
getting the new state bank located in
Valley City if some work was done.
This brought on some discussion
None seemed to exactly know what
the terms of the new banking bill
were but all seemed to have some
idea as to what they wanted. A COM
mittee of seven is to be appointed by
the president to look over the bill and
recommend their findings to the club
who will then decide what action is to
be taken.
The meeting proved to be real live
Commercial club meeting. The secre-
tary expressed his delight at the in
terest and outlined briefly new plan
for the coming year. He also called
their attention to the new industry for
Valley City, the Valley City Fibre
Co., and what it would mean for VAL
ley City, he felt it was up to the peo-
pie of Valley City at the present time
to show whether or not they wished
Valley City to become an Industrial
center or should we remain as we are
or go back. It is one way or the
other. A live membership campaign
is soon to be put on and the boosters
hope to have real live Commercial
club for 1919. Remember Mr.. Reader,
you should have your part in this
work and with. your aid probably this
city can be; made city of from fif-
teen to twenty-five thousand. Who
knows? Try it, do your part and you
will be surprised at results.

port Of the secretary was read. The

ton of four directors for q term of
three years. Samuel Fletcher, Dr. c.
A. Anderson, Or. c. H. Martin and

unexpired term of ". J. Westergaard,
deceased. A motion wasIcarried au-
thorizing the board of directors to in
vestigate the proba ability Of county
control of the fair. Many of the
farmers feel the fair is an agricul-
tural proposition and that it could best
be handled as a county proposition.
EX- Sheriff James Kelly was elected
president for the ensuing year after
which the meeting Of the stcckhcll-
ers adjourned.
A meeting of tie board Of directors
was called 1T once and the new board
