The American Legion held busi-
ness and executive meeting in the
City Hall Tuesday evening. The
meeting was called by the Post Adju-
tant for the purpose of electing new
post commanded, to hear the report Of
the state convention delegates, and
to take up other important business.
C. r. Simpson, who has been acting
as post finance officer, was elected
to the position Of post commander, to
fill the position made vacant several
months ago by the resignation Of G.
T. Hoyerson. Elmer Wicks was elect
ed finance officer to take the position
made vacant by the election Of Mr..
Simpson.
Delegates to the Minot convention
were present, T. s. Henry, one Of the
delegates, gave a short talk on the
business which was transacted there,
and also the benefits which he be-
lieved were derived from the meeting.
Clifford Ferguson gave talk along
similar lines.
The advisability Of war risk insur-
ance was also talked over by the mem-
bers, and sentiment seemed to favor
it quite strongly. The local post now
has membership Of over $50 mem-
bers, but enthusiasm seems to be
lacking, and the meetings are not
very well attended. In order to boost
the pep Of the post. the entertainment

met Monday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
for the first meeting of the new school
year which began Tuesday with the
registration Of students. All but four
or five members some of whom had
not arrived in Valley City were pres
ent to take part in the proceedings
and plans necessary to be worked out
for the coming days. A good many
matters of Importance were disposed
Of whose details cannot be given here.
It will be matter Of interest to the
public in general and in particular to
the students to know, that for the
present, the daily chapel exercises
have been reduced in number per
week. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat
urdays will be the chapel exercise
days in the auditorium. This plan

LIGHT THROWN ON
BANKING SCHEMES

The Morton County FaSmers Press
Of Mandan, a corporation owned and
controlled by four hundred farmer
shareholders, will have off the press
this week an enlightening book on the
nonpartisan league by William Lang.
er, attorney general of North Dakota
and republican candidate for Cover.
nor at the June primaries, who put
up such a magnificent fight that
Towniey and Frazier had t6 combine
with Alex Mckenzie to beat him-and
even then they ust ,nosed him out.
General LANCER goes back beyond
the nonpartisan movement in his book
telling first Of the abuses in the mar.
keting of grain and then of the growth
of the Equity under the leadership Of
George LOTUS, in which movement he
took an active part.
Most interest will undoubtedly be
attracted by his sensational expose Of
Townley's financial schemes and the
important part the Scandinavian
American Bank and the Bank OF
North Dakota played in it. He also
tells Of the Valley City bank deal in
which the promoters, associates of
! Townley's, were forced by the state
banking board to pay back thousands
Of dollars. ~. -.
: The secret caucus system by means
of which Townley and Lemke are able
to saddle their minority bills on the
majority and force farmers to. support
socialistic schemes against their will,
is vividly portrayed in a graphic
chapter illustrated with scenes from
the caucus meetings. n 1conjunction
with this he shows the Importance of
the newspaper chain as the means of
holding the axe over any one who
shows an iota Of. independence and has
the courage to oppose any of Town
1ley's or Lemke's pet schemes.
Much is already known of the at
tempt of the league leaders to over
ride the will of the people as express
ed at the polls And with the contempt
for democracy rampant in old czaristic
Russia, to throw Miss Minnie j. Neil
son, state superintendent of public in
struction, out of Office and General
sLanger's successful fight to prevent
this. The chapter which tells of this,
however, will prove especially interest
ing as it gives many details not here
tofore published.
Among other things that Mr.. Lang
er discusses are Gree Love and the
Schools" "Taxes," Gear of the Lead
'ers to take the Witness Stand" "The
Socialist Political Machine" and "Are
the Leaders Socialists"

ARE HAPPY PARENTS

Early this week the Normal School
Budget" was honored by receiving the
following announcement from Mr.. and
Mrs. Bert Weston, of Sheldon, n.
Dak.: Announcing the arrival of an
8 Ia lb. baby boy ON Sept. "a, 1920"
Mrs. Weston will be very well re-
membered as Miss Esther Hamilton
who attended the Normal School for
some years up to about two years ago
or less. Everybody among the older
students who attended from about 1912
to 1917 when the U. S. went into the
world war will remember Bert. This
paper and other numerous friends Of
fer their congratulations and best
wishes.

TICKET DRIVE FOR
SATURDAY GAME

The ticket sellers for the Fargo-Val-
ley City football game which will be
played here next Saturday were busy
yesterday. This game will initiate the
opening Of the gridiron season on the
local field and the game promises to
be battle for blood, since it is with
Fargo our old rivals. The game with
Lisbon last Saturday, which resulted
in defeat for Valley City overturn-
ed the dope of most of the grid fans
Of the state, many of them expecting
q walk away for the locals. However,
the coach and his men are confident
that they will give Fargo a battle
royal, and are digging their toes in
and doing some good stiff practicing
in anticipation of the game.
Another outstanding feature of last
weeks games was the stiff battle
which the jamestown College team
put up against the North Dakota Ag-
gies. Dopsters had it that the Ag-
gies would have walk away.
When Fargo arrives next Saturday
and clashes with the locals, it will be,
the first game of the season for them.
They are being put through some stiff
scrimmage practices this week in pre-
paration for Saturdays games. A
large accompaniment of rooters is ex-
pected along with the team when they
make the trip down here. q
Normal Team Likely
Prospects for football team at the
Normal school are Frightening up
somewhat. Coach Spalding has had
some of the prospects out for short
scrimmages, and sees some good ma
terial for team, although he has but
a small field to pick from. One game
has partly been arranged for with the
Moorhead Normal, to be played on Oc-
tober %, on their field. If suitable
team is obtained, other games will be
arranged for at latter date. - i

GUILD HOLDSA II.
NICE MEETING

A we'll attended meeting Of All
Saints Episcopal Guild was held in
the Guild Hall Wednesday at p. m.
The president, Mrs. Bradshaw, called
on the rector to open the meeting with
prayer. The secretary, Mrs. Bassett,
read the minutes Of the last meeting.
Many interesting things came up
for discussion and were disposed Of
in the usual business like manner. In
response to letter from Mrs. Tyler,
the wife of Bishop Tyler, it was de-
cided to have missionary Sunday
once a month and committee was
appointed to draw up the program.
1t has been decided that on the
second Sunday evening in each month
there will be missionary lecture in
the church instead of the usual eve
ming service, at the close of which
there will be no collection Some Of
the lectures will be given by the new
rector who has had II years exper-
ience in the mission field. According
to the last report of the convention
of Keewabin diocese che built up one
Of the strongest Indian missions in
the whole of this great country
Canada"
His lecturing tours for the mission
ary societies have brought him into
contact with missionaries from all
parts Of the world, hence the commit
tee feels that in asking the rector to
deliver some of those lectures they
have acted wisely. Therefore the Sun
day evening of the 10th Of October
will be the opening Of the series, and
the lecture will be mission Work in
the Far North
Mrs. Smith was the hostess and
delightful repast was served

TWAS ONLY
FRATERNAL ACT.

& Last Friday more than one person
in this territory rubbed their eyes,
looked up startling, and wondered if
there was such a thing as mental in
toxication through unknown means.
The cause was the appearance Of the
Peoples Opinion Of Valley City, a rad!
ical Townley adorer, boosting the
Times Record, pure white /. V. A.
paper, and in other manner boosting
the anti-leaguers. Could it be pos
sible that such a change had occurred?
Then, assuring ourselves that all was
right and that we had not seen the
bootlegger for 48 hours at least, we
examined the P. O. and found that
Editor Streib had left the sheet in
haste and as it is compulsory for
paper to be published each week, the
management of the P. o. appealed to
Brother Trubshaw of the T. R. for
help. Although busy as bee, the
Times-Record force turned to, sup
planted their own head with the Peo-
ples' Opinion head and thus appeared
the strange phenomenon. Which again
goes to prove that no profession on
earth has so much brotherly love as
the newspaper craft. No matter how
bitterly opposed politically, in time of
need the more fortunate brother
stands ready with equipment and staff
to help avoid the rocks of postal and
legal difficulty. But as soon as the
new league editor assumes control Of
the paper, oh, what crook Percy will
be! Oh, hum, such is life at it's best
but worth living after all.-Tower

DODGE MOONSHlNE,
ADVISES WATKINS

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 2.-1f you
value your health, don't drink moon
shine!
This is the advice Of F. L. Wat
kins, state enforcement officer, who,
with federal officers, raided about Is
places in Mclean county this week
where moonshine was found or evi-
dence collected that it had been made.
u You have no idea Of the filth that
goes into large part Of the moon
shine," said Mr. Watkins. In one
case we found a barrel Of mash with
hundreds of dead flies in it. The other
day we found moonshine mash that
had in it chicken entrails, rotten
pumpkins and other refuse, Any
thing that will sour is used"

"A life of sweet simplicity

Jesus, will God bring with Him."
"A life of sweet simplicity
Was graced with cAristi.!n CHARITY,
And with actions n1othe-ly,
She spoke her Lords sincerity"
No pain distressed her latter years,
No deaths dark vail aroused her
fears;
She slumbered through the shades of
night
s And woke to bliss in endless light.
OF earthly friends there is no other
Whose love compares with that of
mother; ....
To those who mourn it must be sweet
That God giveth His beloved sleep.
God only takes to hold more dear,
The loved ones He has given;
And thou art still our grandmother,
Our grandmother in Heaven"

lister.

A regular I. W. W. organizer re-
turning from the New Rockford con-
vention, was here yesterday trying to
organize the taxi drivers of the city,
but he did not meet with any great
success. Most of the lads are only
"kids" and could not vote anyway
but that does not matter so long as
the organizer gets the money. This
organizer is one of the bunch that said
at New Rockford the other day that
the nonpartisan league and the I. W.
w. had much in common, as the lead
.ers of the league were in sympathy
with the /. w. w. platform.
