when worn without the coat. It is un-
lawful under the national defense act
for discharged officers and enlisted
men to wear the uniform without this
distinctive mark, and the offender rem
ders himself liable to the above pun
ishment.
Army officers lay stress upon the
point that the act in speaking Of the
uniform, means the uniform and not
a mixture Of uniform and civilian
clothes. The common sight of men
wearing a mixture Of both will have
to cease, or the offenders are liable
to arrest and civil prosecution.

CITY COUNCIL
HOLDS MEETING

Inc city council Ielu very LII
portant monthly meeting in the coun-
Gil chambers last night and consider
able important business was transact
ed. Among the many things agreed
upon was that the street and walk
committee have ordered in twelve new
crossings and walks and more street
light in various parts Of the city. This
is a long needed improvement. Some
of our walks are in bum shape for a
progressive city like Valley City.
It was decided that the curfew
whistle would be blown at nine o'clock
new time, until after school has ad-
journed. This is to get the children
home so that it will not interfere with
their studies. Good idea.
Il, The chief of police and the city
mother, Mrs. Shrum, have been ap-
pointed as a committee to visit some
of the dances that are being given,
in the city. Reports have been receiv
ed to the effect that some of the young
men attending these dances are not
behaving themselves in the manner
that they should-hence there is to be
some sort of city supervision. Anoth-
err good idea.
The city council was appointed by
the mayor as a committee to visit the
moving picture houses to see if the
public are getting the right kind of
films. They will find Mr.. Pillar CIV
ing them pretty good service, we think
as whole. =.
The contract for the cement work
for the city was awarded to N. NJ.
Nelson, four bids being put in for
this work.
The city has purchased mechanical
stoker to be used at the plant on one
of the boilers. If this works out all
right we shall be having our plant
furnaces stocked by machinery which
will be great saving in the long run.
Another very excellent piece of
work by the council last night was the
selection by the council of the Times
Record as the official paper for the
city. The Peoples Opinion was award
ed the contract for job printing and
has much to be thankful for likewise.
Bids have been ordered asking for
scarifier for the city. This is con-
traption for leveling off the bumps
on the streets of the city and will have
the unanimous endorsement of long
suffering public. It is move in the
right direction. Our city dads are
certainly waking up.
A petition for curb and gutter on
Fifth avenue from Elizabeth street
to Grant avenue was received and al.
lowed by the council. Also curb and
gutter for the whole of Riverside
Park avenue. The Northwest Nur-
sery company have filed with the city
a plat of Liberty Park addition to the
city and ask for curb and gutter and
sidewalk with sewer and water main
connections covering the whole add.
ton. This will be a. great improve
ment and one of the best that has been
made in the city.
The coal contract for the city fol
the ensuing year was awarded to the
Washburn Coal Company.
! The street commissioners pay was
raised from $85 to 500 per month.
Many bills were allowed and other
business of routine nature tran.
sacted and the council put in real
days work last night and earned their
money, adjourning at a late hour
peace and harmony prevailing.

Tom Gale has again taken place
on the city police force and is night
patrolman. Billy DuVall, who sleeps
in the fire hall, was scared out OF
weeks growth this morning about
four o'clock when Tom turned out the
lights in front of the hall. "Tex" the
police dog, heard Tom at the front of
the building and made move as If ne
would eat up whoever it was fooling
on the outside. This woke up Billy
DuVall, who in a half asleep condi-
ton figured somebody was breaking, in
and using fashlight, so Selling his
trusty pistol he proceeded to investi-
gate but soon figured it out that it
was Tom Gale turning out the lights
as he used to early in the morning:
Billy's only kick is that he was routed
out of bed too early this morning.

The two days rain, wind and snow
storm ending yesterday afternoon has
delayed seeding operations for day
or two. 1t was certainly fine rain
looking at it from a wet standpoint
but came at time when farmers were
right in the midst of seeding. The
heavy sleet and snow raised havoc
with telegraph and telephone wires.
Between Bloom and jamestown over
40 poles were broken on the N. P.
telegraph line and the wires were
down so that no communication by
wire was available for some time.
Manager W. T. Craswell reported all
kinds of wire trouble on the Indepen-
