no interest shown in the matter, and

let us then get to the points Of your

"Would it be to our advantage or
disadvantage, if the plant was taken
over by the city,"
If it has been found to be disad-

NEW TEACHER
COMES TO NORMAL

With the opening of the winter
term on January 6, several new COM
tmercial courses will be offered at the
Valley City Normal school. In addl-
ton to the regular classes in steno-
graphy, typewriting, bookkeeping and
penmanship, special beginning classes
will be organized in commercial peo-
eraphy, commercial arithmetic, bus
mess English, and commercial law.
With these classes starting the winter
term, and with beginning classes in
stenography and typewrsting also,
those who wish to take commercial
subjects will find advantages SUCH as
nave not heretofore been offered at
the Normal school. Many new stu
dents will no doubt enter the school
on January 6 to take advantage OF
these opportunities for training in
commercial subjects. Soldiers who
are entitled to bonus from the state
NAV take these or any other subjects
in which they are interested, and the
institution will advance money to pay
their expenses while they are attend
ing the Valley City Normal school.
Miss Lucille Chase, Of Minneapolis,
has been added to the teaching force
of the commercial Department., and
will arrive in Valley City before the
opening of the winter term. Miss
Chase secured her training at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, and at the Twin
City Business College, St. Paul. She
has been teacher in South Dakota,
has had practical business experience,
and has held stenographic positions.

despite the fact that it was Saturday

ing, most of them league farmers, who
wanted to hear the real truth in regard
to political matters that are of vital
interest to the state. The speakers in
the afternoon were Mr.. +. W. Craw-
ford, of Sentinel Butte, N. D., large

meeting and introduced the speakers
in short address, prefcrring to give

his hearers.

the I. V. A. and known as TWo-Bit,
was then introduced, and he, TOO, gave
a concrete address on the present
trend of things political in this state
in a somewhat vigorous manner. Mr.,
Nelson has borne the brunt Of the fight
against the league becau: he has been

 The national associa ation does not want its best players eliminated be- fore that event, as would necessarily be the case if all of them met here this week for the New England title. Therefore, Fred B. Alexander, former internationalist and $. Howard Voshell have been sent to Cleveland. while William NJ. Johnston and Clarence Griffin, the San Franciscans who hold the national title. are on their way to Kansas City, where the northwestern championships are to be played. By distributing the teams in this way it is pointed out that at least three strong teams will meet the Australians instead of one, as would be the case if all played on the Longwood clubs courts William NJ. Johnston is the holder of the Longwood Bowl, and is expected back next week in time to defend that trophy.

The clerks as whole played wonderful game of ball, working gamely and hard when the score was against them and not only deserved the victory which they slammed out in the latter part of the game but also deserve the loyal tys and support of the ma ajority of fans present who gave evidence of their enthusiasm by running onto the
 field and throwing their hats into the aid amidst bursts of joyous shouting. In the midst of the game a man waa noticed passing the hat among the spectators. As no one connected with the Clerks had been interviewed con corning funds to be collected an in- vestigation revealed that the move had been sanctioned by members of the Ashland bunch in an aettempt to make the public pay for needless ex- penditures of their own. Two dollars and fifty nine cents was collected. This money was later turned over to the Ashland Athletic Association through whose hands it will eventual originally intended to go. The clerks want to impress upon the game low CTS that they are in the game as sports and not money makers and that not only all expenses be borne by them. but all future games in which they participate will be free to the public. If expense is incurred for the use of any ground the Clerks will gladly pay their share but are not go- ing to be connected with any frauds against the same public whom they serve over their various counters ev cry day.
