Along Came a Miracle.

HiOUQ SdInG 4
"But, Fright when we were about
ready to quit our jobs and beat it for
home, along came a miracle. Two
quiet, businesslike women climbed
down from the eastbound train one
morning. With them came eight work
men, a carload of scantling and tar
paper, another carload of cots and
blankets and pillows and sheets and
tOwels-brand new blankets and beds
think of the glory Of that land
bushels of dishes and rolls Of oilcloth
and enough burlap to carpet the cOun-
try. You won't believe me when I tell
you that in ten days their workmen
had a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES shack
put up and burlap tackled over the
waHa and the Y. w. c. A. secretary
and her helper had set up board tables
and coffee kettles and were serving us
the grandest hot lunches every day.
And back behind the burlap screens
were set those rows Of clean cots, with
enough cover to keep you warm the
coolest night that ever blew, and
towel apiece for every single girl. Do
you wonder that we all felt, as one
girl put it, I'll wager the Fritz-Carle-
ton has nothing on thisP
"Who were those women? Why,
7. w. G. A. secretaries, of course. I'd
think you'd know that without being
told. All over the country wherever
we girls have pitched in to make aero
plane cloth or Overalls or munitions or
canned goods you'll find Y. w. C. A.
secretary working harder than any
body else to make the girls comfort
able and TO keep them happy and well.
Sometimes they haven't money enough
to get all that we really need. But al
ways they stretch every cent to make
It do its level hest for us. Do you won
der that we girl workers have learned
TO call the Y. W c. A. our Big Sister
the very best Big Siaer Of all?

If you do not think much of this
heavy snowfall you had better blame
Rev. J. S. Wilds for it-and we know
more good nature--in fact he is rath-
er tickled over this storm in a way.
Sunday morning he chose for his text
"And the Lord said to the snow fall
thou on the earth.' Well the Lord
evidently believed that was what Rev.
Wilds wanted for it started in i'm
mediately after the sermon and has
been falling fast and thick ever since
Il there is any efficacy in prayer or
sermons it has been proven in this in
stance. Mr. Wilds better get busy
and pray to have the snow stop fall
ing if he wants to remain popular with
our people.

When the Chickens
Come Home to Roost

Last spring we were told that taxes
would not be high or at least not much
higher than last year. We were SOL
emnly advised to take some calomel
and sulphate of magnesium to clear
our vision, as we were told we were
prejudiced. We knew that we were
telling the truth because you cannot
put on two or three hundred thousand
dollars more Of salary to pay to en-
ployes as well as all the added ex-
penses of putting over these vagaries
that the league has saddled on the
people. Somebody has to pay the
freight, or taxes, and it is the people
the leaders who are putting this
over are the ones who do not pay the
taxes so it is easy for them to pre-
scribe calomel and high taxes.
Our good friend Frank Stack went
up to see how his taxes were Saturday
and he brings us in the following re-
port:
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1919-11-13

Just as little incident as to what
happens to the renter we wish to say
that a prominent business man in the
city went up to the court house to find
out about his taxes. When the audi
tor gave him the figures it took his
breath away for a minute and when
he regained his breath he said "damit"
or something OF tnat kind and i'm
mediately raised the rents Of those
occupying his flats. The buck you see
is passed on to the renter because the
landlord refuses to stand for the
raise. Yes, this new day is a good
thing for the poor man--not.

Valley City Council No.
Cos, U. c. I. Organized

ing: Those Fargo fellows enjoyed a
real square meal for once and between
mouthfuls of luscious turkey meat let
out few yells of appreciation for the
Valley City boys. Bro. j. j.. Farley
and editor being classed with the Far
go bunch for this occasion also let out
few complimentary yells for Valley
City.
Adjournment was taken from the
festal board to the Elks handsome
lodge room where C. E. Burgess call
ed the assembly to order and a pro-
gram of speeches were made. Messrs.
l. }. Moe, as mayor, Lee Combs, D.
O'Malley and P. R. Trubshaw were Sc
lected as the victims to make five min
ute speeches and each one in their
own peculiar and we might add elo-
quent manner spouted forth the
praises of the travelling men and their
delight at being with them on that oc-
casion-memories mingled with high
tension feeling of the recent banquet
were still with the speakers and this
made them more eloquent than they
might have been on any other occasion.
They say feed man we'll and you can
iget most anything you want out of
him. We understand that is how
many wives exact the price of a new
hat or a new dress from hubby-she
feeds him we'll and then makes the
"touch.' In between each talk an or
chestra furnished some fine music.
The last speaker on the program was
John F. McGrau, the grand councillor
of the order, who was called upon to
make d response to the addresses of
the Valley City business men. Mr.. Nc
| Gran made very feeling and happy
response He expressed his deep
pleasure at the friendliness he had
found among the business men and Of
ficials of the city and also to the news
paper men for their cooperation and
assistance. He predicted success for
the new council and that it would be a
good thing for Valley City-we be-
lieve he is right. The speaker felt
very deeply the kindly spirit shown
, by our people, those he had met, and
! expressed his pleasure at coming here
t to assist at this important function Of
starting the new council on it's career.
; Following this talk the social meeting
broke up and the work of organiza-
! tion of the council was taken up and
, completed.
! The whole affair was we'll carried
4, out Saturday night and each and every
one of the boys who had a part went
| into the work in earnest and as a
; consequence success was the result
/ Personally we never enjoyed an eve
! |.ning-outside of that fatal five min
utes-as we did that of Saturday and
we again thank the boys for the invi-
tation and good time extended to us.
The officers elected for the new
council are men who will do their ut
most to make the organization "go"
!; and they will have the backing of the
boys as a unit, in making Valley City
Council u. C. T. COS one of the best in
the state.
jThe following members of the order
from the outside were here:
|; John F. McGran, Grand Counselor,
Jurisdiction Of Minnesota, North Da-
kota, Fargo; j. M. Presser, Grand Sec
retary, St. Paul. Mimi; G. 0. Richard
son, James Gleason, R. E. Cole, T. I.

THE SALVATION
ARMY DRIVE

Z Some time ago we had drive in
Barnes county for the Salvation Army
and Capt. T. S. Henry reports that
$S,29358 was subscribed in Barnes
county for this cause. Valley City
contributed about 25~per cent of the
total amount, subscribing 61.50.
The allotment for Barnes county was
in the neighborhood of twelve thous-
and dollars and taking into considera-
tion the weather and other drives be-
ing in progress the result is regarded
as very satisfactory

Last Saturday at the Elks Home in
this city the knights of the grip held
one of the most enthusiastic gather
ings ever held in the state and at
which time local council of the or
der was organized and the officers in
stalled. A degree team from Fargo
was here to put on the work and they
were a lively and jolly bunch of good
fellows. Grand Chancellor John F. Nc
Gran, Of Fargo, who is head of the or
der for Minneapolis and North Da-
kota, was present to lend his assist
ance in the organization. John Nc
Gran is one of "the salt Of the earth"
and a very popular man with the boys.
Mr.. Presser, grand secretary was also
here from St.. Paul, and to his efficient
work is due the smooth manner in
which. things rolled along. The fol-
lowing is the list of officers for the
new council:
Senior Councillor-H. C. Dwight.
Junior Councillor-E. S. Ward. ~, =
Past Councillor-C. K. Hills. s~,
Secretary Treasurer--Frank Bailey.
Conductor-D. S. Raney. 49,
Page-Abe Stern.

Executive Committee-Two years,
Dick Dahmen, R. D. Blanch; one year,
Mr.. Erdman, C. E. Burgess. .>.
Chaplain-E. C. Chambard. w
Deputy-C. R. Simpson.
The new council starts out with fifty
or more members and as fine lot of
fellows in it's membership as you can
meet in many day. They are "a live
bunch and all boosters from A to z.
The travelling men are the most opti-
laistic lot Of fellows in the world and
IN addition to that they are all 100 per
cent American citizens and you can't
find single one of them who is not
on the right side of any question that
stands for good citizenship, good gov
eminent or anything for the good of
the state and people. The formation
Of this organization means much for
the boys on ,the road and it means
much for our city--because every
member will boost for his home COM
nlunity, and he does just that all the
time. We are greatly pleased that the
travelling men have organized and
will do the best we can to help them
along in publicity work.
Prior to this organization work the
boys had a social time and the editor
was a guest of the travelling men
along with a few other. citizens and
we had fine time with them. At Z
O'Clock we were invited down into the
basement rooms to partake of a real
turkey dinner with all the fixings and
side dishes that you could think Of:
Now this dinner was put up and
served by Rudolf Geselius and his
force and you can take it from us it
was the real thing in dinners, with
turkey and "sich" without limit. No
checks were kept on anybody present.
The invitation from Dick Dahmen as
he pointed US to place with the Far
go visitors was "Got to it until you
get all you can eat and then come back
and get some more" We didn't 60
back but believe us we got all we could
hold before we got through and no mis-
take.
Right here let us put in good word
for Dick Dahmen. Talk about a
hustler-that's his first name. He
was here, there and everywhere and to
him is due a large share of the credit
for the signal success Of this gather

Does anybody think that the farmer
is getting any benefit from this kind
of a state administration. You can
juggle the figures to suit your own

have to pay or the state takes your

being strictly fine citizens and good

GRANT LEACUERS
CHEER LANCER

New Leipzig, N. D., Nov. 7.--Sev
eral hundred farmers, some of them
had driven rs miles through blind
ing snow storm, filled every seat,
packed the aisles, corridors and even
the stairway at the town hall last
night to listen for more than four
hours to Attorney General William
LANCER, who addressed them on re-
cent developments in the Nonpartisan
league. LANCER did not finish until
1890 o'clock this morning and during
all the time he spoke, not single man
left the hall. He was repeatedly in
terrupted by cheering and applause
which in several instances continued
forseVeral minutes.
The gathering was made up entire

that the farmers present would unite
with the farmers from other parts of
the state in paying the judgment rem
dered by the supreme court majority
in this matter against the attorney
general and Secretary of State Hall,
''to the end that all of it will be paid
by the farmers and not one cent by
said William LANCER and Thomas Hall,

duty fearlessly and honestly"
The arain which carried the attor
ney general from Bismarck was met
at Carson, the Grant county seat, by
a band, which headed a large delega-
tion of farmers from the vicinity. Mu-
sicians and leaguers boarded the train,
which from that point on, picked up
large groups of farmers at each sta
ton. En- route the farmers improvised
a yell which they entertained them
selves and their guests:
"Welll Well! Well,
'Weliy Well! Well!
"Langer'n beat Townley
"'Au to H-!'
When the train reached New Leip

of the meeting are as follows:
