sion. Rev. w. C. Lyon, formerly of
Valley City, read the service. Miss
Flora Lewis, sister of the bride was
the maid of honor and was gowned

man. The bridal gown was fashioned
Of heavy white satin, with simple
trimmings of pearls and real lace. Her
bouquet was of lilies of the valley and
orchids. r

young women Of Moorhead and has
been the guest of honor at number
OF parties since the announcement Of !
her wedding date. She is graduate

again been engaged to teach the COM
ing year. She is a young lady of

her intimately. The groom is one Of
the most popular young men Of this
city. He is an upright, cleancut young
man of splendid habits, Industrious

OUT COIN FOR
MARINE STATUE

School children of North Dakota
have contributed $855.O0 toward Am
erica's gift to France - statue
sculptored by MacMonnies, to COM
memorate the valiant fight of the
French at the first battle of the
Marine. The statue is to be, placed
on the battlefield.
Many kiddies contributed only pen
MES - but they contributed this
cheerfully. Many of the girls and
boys contributed from their savings
banks, and many children whose ia
theirs were in France contributed larg-
er amounts. One little Valley City
girl, it was reported, approached the
teacher with so cents she had saved
up and when the teacher suggested
that it was too large an amount to
give, the little girl replied: -" =.

Nelson, state superintendent Of publ

schools and each county superintend-
emit was named county chairman.
Over $250,O0O has been raised in the
United States for the fund.
Cavalier county children contrib |
uted the largest amount-$135.O6.
Some counties contributed nothing:
among them burleigh county. The
spirit of the children was evinced att
one place in Oliver county where al
little girl had no money to give but
brought five one-cent stamps.
Contributions of some other coun-
ties follow: Cass county, $20.34; Lo-

'nonpartisan high school teacher" is

foolish notions about excepting the

Franklin D. Roosevelt takes a great

for Theodore Roosevelt-or whether
he is one of these progressives in

way if elected that this country would
take backward step. Mr.. Roosevelt
did not say anything about the won

which is now graphing for life against
the Bolshevikes of Russia. Twenty.
nine nations now belong to this great

twenty-nine of these members are sit
ting around allowing Poland to be
strangled to death, the big ones in the
league like England, France, Italy and
q few others just sitting on the fence
like vultures waiting to pick the bones
Of Poland after she has fallen. By all
means let us have this league of ma

it does at the present time. We are

The Times-Record editor feels
grateful for the splendid publicity he
received Monday at the hands of a
national candidate. It is seldom that
a small newspaper like this gets to
be made national issue and shows
that the democratic party not hav-
ing a slogan ''he kept US out of war"
to spring on the people this campaign,
must find something to talk about
hence we were the subject.

The republican party is somewhat
handicapped by the democratic party
this campaign. On account of the war
there are miscellaneous assortment
of hammers left over from the black
smith shops used during the war so
that they have become part of the
present national administration. These
hammers can be used by democratic
spell binders now at nominal cost
whereas it would cost the republicans
considerable to provide spell binders
with hammers.

The democrats may have kept US
out of war as they alleged last cam
paign but we have our doubts about
that just at this time, but we are sure
they have kept US out of peace, but we
feel very confident that they cannot
keep Harding out of the White House
after the fourth of next March if he is
living at that time. Peace, progress
and prosperity is a mighty catchy slo-
gan for the democrats, but what they
really mean is bunk, buster and bull
