FIRST NATL. BANK
BUYSPR0PERTY

Something over a year ago the
First National bank of Valley City ne
gotiated for the Bonde property next
door to their banking house of North
Fifth Avenue, now occupied by the
Bonde harness shop. The deal was
formally closed a few days ago and
the bank is now the owner of this
property, one of the best pieces of real
estate in tn city. The bank perhaps
does not contemplate any immediate
improvements in the way Of building
but the business Of the institution is
growing all the time and more room
is needed, so that it is possibl that in
the near future the institution will
enlarge and build substantial addi-
ton to it's banking house. The bank
has secured the ground and can now
expand as it feels like it. . -

able business of looking after the sick
and afflicted to bolster up sick and
dying socialistic regime that is trying
to throttle free press, distort and
warp the minds of the farmers of the
country on the big graft measures
they have dubbed through the legisla-
ture and are threatening everybody
with rule or ruin who will not knuckle
down to the big boss. Just what Sam
Zimmerman wants out of this admin
istration we do not know, but you
can bet your last nickle he is not play
ing the bass string in the Townley
orchestra for nothing. Anyway, we
do not care hoop what he wants
we know very we'll what he will get
but we wish he would attend to his
own business and not bother us with
his rawlings and rantings over the tel
cphone. We have a living to make
and we have no time to listen to lot
of bombastic rawlings from a conceited
piece of humanity like S. A. thinner
man. Talking about using our gray
matter. It is to laugh. When it
comes to giving advice to us about
using our gray matter he should take
little of that advice to himself. He
started this controversy and evidently
wants to keep it US. So hop to it, we
will be on the job all the time.

THE THE PEOPLES FORUM

This column is open to all for dis
cussion of the subject of buying the
property referred to in the communi-
cation given below, or any other pub
lie matter. The editor is not respon-
sible for anything appearing in this
column.
Believing that it is mistake to pur-
chase any additional or outlying
properties for the city of Valley City,
we should appreciate having Mr.. A.
B. Cox, candidate for Office OF park
commissioner, state his position in the
next issue of the Times Record. The
time may come when such purchase
will be all right but at the present
time we feel that the public will pay
enough in taxes and for other pur-
poses, so that such purchase at this
time will be q burden. 81

ture of registration, committee as.
signments an so forth. In the after.
noon the convention listened to most
cordial address of welcome from
Mayor I. J. Moe, who assured the
boys-and the girls, too-that the
town was theirs and to show that he
was telling the truth and not camou-
f1aging in any way he hauled from his
pocket great big Yale key and said;
"Here is the key to the city of Valley
City, the old town is yours, 60 to it
and let JOY be unconfned," or words
to that effect. The mayor also posted
up an official proclamation that nc
telephone man is to be arrested while
the convention is on so if you do not
enjoy yourselves it is your own fault
The town is yours, the welcome of the
mayor is the welcome Of all the people
of Valley City and we are mighty glad

caps under which telephone compan-
les have worked during and since the
war. The increased cost of supplies
and the shortage of much Of the ma

ed the service to deteriorate in some
sections, but telephone men in gen.

CHANGE OF TIME
TO START SUNDAY

Those of our people who are in the
habit of getting up early will
not be affected by the change Of time
which goes into effect on Sunday
morning at o'clock. Under the fed
eral law passed during the war the
clocks are to be pushed ahead Sunday
morning one hour, and it is known
as the daylight saving law. So eth
er Saturday night when you go to bed
push your clock ahead one hour or
get up at 2 o'clock in the morning
and do it which ever way you feel like.
It is all the same. You people who
contemplate buying a railroad ticket
to travel next Sunday and there after
want to remember this change of time

straightforward manner, they will
come out Of it bigger and greater men
in the opinion of the people of the
state. The German kaiser was crush
ed because he tried by force to domi-
nate the world and every country that
refused to bow to his will were to be
wiped off the earth. So it is with
Townley and his socialistic brethren.
If they cannot dictate to you and have
you bow to their will absolutely, they
are going to crush you if they can
but they cannot do it. The people are
coming to their senses and their eyes
are being opened to the fact that they
have been buncoed and buncoed right.
THINK IN 1NTEREsT-sAW:-
Governor Frazier has made a de-
mand of the authorities at Camp
Dodge for the immediate release of
the boys now in service and in that
camp. He claims that these men will
be needed on the farms of North Da-
kota for doing springs work on the
farm. The governor is right. We
need the boys home and we can see
no need for keeping them in camp.
The war is over Send the boys back
to their homes and let them get busy
in lines where they are most needed.
THINK IN 1NTEREsr-sAvE--
We rise to nominate DR.. S. A.
Zimmerman for county assessor, one
of the hundreds of new jobs created
by the Townley legislature. The office
only pays $500 per year, but the
farmers, merchants and tax payers
generally of this community would
willingly chip in to double or treble
the salary, providing the doctor can
keep our taxes from increasing only
four per cent If he can turn the
trick to head off the enormous in
crease in taxes provided for in the
laws foisted upon us by Townley,
Lemke, Bowen, Brinton and Max
Eastman, then he is the boy we want
for assessor, and we can well afford to
pay him a handsome salary.

IN 1NTEREsT-SAVE-

A year ago today the present pub
Usher Of the Times-Record purchased
the paper and took active charge OF
the business. When we went into this
business we did so with fear and mis-
givings as to the future on account Of
the reputation the plant had for being
a drag in the past. We made up our
mind that if hard work would accomu-
lish anything we would make the old
rag o freedom keep on top with its
credit good and it's checks worth one
hundred cents on the dollar. We have
fulfilled our resolution. We have not
made a fortune in the past year,
neither have we lost out. We have en-
joyed good business and splendid
patronage from the business men of
this city and others from the outlying
and to them and to all
of those who have given US a boost
we wish to heartily thank them. The
publisher has, during the past year,
given it's readers the latest telegraphic
news to be obtained, and during the
war and up to this time has given the
worlds latest news several hours
ahead of any other daily that could
reach Valley City. We give no prom
Uses for further continuance of this
service as we deem the news now of
less Importance than it was during
the war. We have endeavored to
make the paper readable and livel V
and from the way we are getting bo-
DUETS from various quarters we guess
it is read and is also lively. We have
boosted everything we could for the.
good of the city, county and state, and
we have done the best we know how
with pleasure to advertise the various
government enterprises such as Red
Cross, loan drives, etc: We have
probably made enemies Of political
sort because we have not supported
those things that appeal to those who
differed from US, yet withal, what
ever we have done along these lines
have been because we have consc!en-
tiously believed what we have advo-
Gated. We have never received a dol
lar or cent from any political or
ganization or person for sustaining
he political ideas we have supported
but have done so from honest convlc-
ton and we shall continue to 90 that
regardless Of anyone else's opinion
and cannot be stampeded from our
position by threats of boycott or any
thing if that nature. Other people have
the same rights as we have in this re-
gard The Times-Record is for big,
ger Valley City, bigger county and
a bigger state and to. that end we
shall lend our best endeavors. In con-
clusion we again want to thank our
loyal friends for their support-we
appreciate it. And to our political
enemies we say give US the same right
to have an opinion as you yourself
claim and don't let your enthusiasm
for your own ideas warp your judg-
ment in giving US the same right. We
have another great Victory Loan
drive coming in few days. Let us
get behind that movement and push
it over.| We can all back up this
regardless of political utilization.

IL INTEREST-SANE-

The Fifth Victory Loan is approach
ing very rapidly. Much publicity is
needed to make it a success. We want
to urge the publishers of the other
county papers to see their business
men and line up advertising for this
loan. The business men have always
come across with this part of the big
loan drives without any equivocation,
hesitation Of mind whatsoever, and
will do so again this time. The
Times-Record editor is publicity man.
ager for Barnes county and wants the
newspaper boys to get in touch with
the merchants at once and get ready
for big advertising drive. Each
publisher has been sent proof sheet
of ads and all they have to do is to
solicit the advertising then make re-
QUESTION for the advertising plates
sent out by the government.

THE LOAN OF THANKFULNESS

THE LOAN OF THANKFULNESS
Just suppose you are driving along
peaceably in your automobile, not
speeding nor driving carelessly, yet
making progress for all that; suppose
that, rounding turn in the road, you
suddenly see a chasm ahead, made by
a washed-out bridge.
In this crisis you accept the one
chance Of escaping humiliation. You
automatically shut off the power and
jam on the brakes while the machine
skids up to the edge of the abyss and
stops After an intense moment of
waiting, you all step out unhurt. You
find, however, that the effort of stop
Ding has ruined two expensive tires,
burned out your brake Innings and
damaged some minor braces.
If this really happened to you, what
would you do? Would you bemoan
the damages to your car and regret
the prospective repair bill? Or would
you thank God that you had been able
to save precious lives, no matter at
what expense? If you are regular
man, you would be devoutly thankful
and when the time came would pay
the expense bill thankfully.
So each and all Of US ought to feel
toward the coming Victory Liberty
Loan.
A year ago now, just previous to the
great enemy offensive - the effort
which Germany promised would
quickly end the war in favor of autoc-
racy-a certain Prussian nobleman
gave an outline of his country's peace
terms. They included, in addition to
the annexation of Belgium and north
ern France, the payment into the
Kaiser's treasury of an indemnity of
which minimum shall be Forty-fve
Billion Dollars, to be paid by America
if France and Great Britain are un-
able" These brazen terms also in
Guided conditions that would have felt
the mentce of autocracy frowning at
US across the Atlantic and awaiting a
favorable opportunity to strike and
subdue America also.
How different it is today!
Exactly like the folks in that auto
mobile, we Americans, we people OF
the Ninth Federal Reserve District,
have all nliracously escaped a dis
aster, dreadful in it's potentialities for
evil. AS nation, we have not only
escaped almost unhurt but we have
emerged with added riches, renown
and prestige. Never again will any
autocrat dare f1aunt America. Sue
ceeding generations will be safe from
that peril. It has cost Uncle Sam
tidy sum of money and it will cost
some billions more to Finish the job"
to repair the damage caused by the
effort of suddenly stopping the war.
But what is mere money compared to
the saving of/lives and the mainten-
ance Of the great principles upon
which this Republic is built?
We ought to- be glad and thankful
we do not have to pay some Of that
minimum of Forty-fve Billion Dol
lars" We ought to be glad and
thankful we escaped disaster last
spring and summer. We ought to be
supremely thankful that victory was
achieved for US at so low costa
cost we can pay by loaning Uncle
Sam our money at a fair rate of in
terest.
Let US thank God, "from whom all
blessing flow." Let US put our thank
fulness into deeds by buying more
Victory Liberty Bonds next month
than anyone expects us to buy.
