MANLY AND FAIR
om The Centervllle Press.

From The CeHtefVlIIe Press.
 MT. Underwood risked his political future on conscientious stand that he believes is right. But it has made him many new friends. He says he will not be the representative of any enc faction or organization of the peo- pie of Alabama. but will legislate for the good of all. That is manly. that is fair.

That Hospital

If proper action is taken by civic and other organizations of Birming ham. this city will have good chance to be selected as the site of the nos pital to be built by the Alabama Sap tist churches" says CommlssloheI John R. Hornady.
 X Not only is Birmingham the center of the life of this section the com missioner continued, but it is also in great need of additional hospital ac- commodation, for these institutions have not enlarged as fast as the busi- ness and commercial sections of the city.
 "The hospital which is to be erected by the Baptists will be made suffi- ciedtly large to help accommodate Bir- mingham's present needs, and will be added to as the growth of the city warrants it. if Birmingham succeeds in getting it located here"

Men Wanted

Never have I seen such demand for unskilled labor" says H. E. Oliver, in charge of the municipal employment bureau. We have more calls every day that we can ever hope to fill. even at the high prices being offered by some of the contractors.
 Tt seems that there is more con struction work going on in the city now than ever before. There is some difficulty in finding enough skilled workers to fill the demand. and there is also call for great deal of cleri- cal help.'

WRESTLING MATCH
HELDAT THE CLUB

The wrestling match which was
held at the Club Bowling Parlors last
night proved to be one of the best
matches seen in this part of the coun-
try in many days. The 'Unknown"
proved to be Frank Cessik, formerly
Of Aberdeen, S. D. However, Ander-
son, the present local title holder,
gave the big audience chance to get
fairly good line on his real wrest-
ling ability and retained his title by
taking two falls out Of three, the first
in nine minutes, Sessik taking the Sec
ond fall in five minutes. While the
time of the falls would indicate that
they were easy, yet none but those
present realize the real speed of the
wrestlers. The match was fast, with
no stalling and there was absolutely
no taking.
There will be several more of these
interesting athletic exhibitions held
at the Club during the coming weeks
and will continue just so long as there
is no "frame-ups" and no fakes.
Manager Hubbard has assured the pa
irons of his place that he is booking
these wrestlers himself and will see
to it personally that each and every
one will be conducted strictly on the
square. The wrestlers are not guar
anteed a cent and received only an
equal share of the gate money and
any taking or framing will bar them
from their portion of the money and
further participation in any of the
coming matches.
The next bout will be on. Thursday
evening at $3.50, June 18th, and will
be between Nels Anderson, the pres
ent undefeated champion, and Frank
Cessik, last nights loser. This ar
rangement was agreed to before the
match last night as Mr.. Cassik had
asked permission to have a return
match before he went on last night
as he had not had time to get into
condition. He assured all those pres
ent last evening that he is confident
he can turn the table on Anderson in
next weeks match.

CLI0NlANS ADD TO
ART COLLECTION

This year Clionians have been busy
collecting reproductions of some of
the master paintings. These copies
have been framed and last Saturday
evening the following five were pre-
sented to the society.
A portrait of "Philip "" of Spain
was painted by his court artist, Diego
Velasquez. No one who sees it can
ever forget the marvellous way in
which the gorgeous kings costume
has been painted. There is just enough
contrast between the black in the
kings sombrero and the lovely har
mony of rose coral and silver. The
original Of this realistic painting now
hangs in the center of the east wall
of the wonderful Frick Gallery.
The other four works were painted
by Rembrandt. In "The Old Woman
Cutting Her Nails" we find an appear
ance of absolute completeness. Moth
ing could be added and nothing could
be taken away. The sombre color
harmonies of brown, dark red, yellow,
and white are revealed in their finest
effects and the picture glows in mel
low resonant harmonies. 1t is splen-
did example Of a simple subject un-
adorned, made great work of art by
a painters mastery performance.
The picture of young Painter" is
one of Rembrandt's most sensitively
interpreted portrayals Of young man.
hood. The work presents somber
harmony of quaint tints and the face
as it looks out from under the cap ex-
presses intelligence, an amiable ma
ture, and intentness on the task in
hand. 1t is singularly engaging
picture and one that exerts charm
more strongly the oftener it is seen.
Another fine example of Rem
brandt's works is "A Lady With
Pink" 1t is a remarkable painting of
the most luminous sort combined with
a pleasing effect of color. There is
rare serenity about the picture which
is never-ending source of gratifca-
tion.
The last of the four Rembrandt
paintings is "Pilate Washing His
Hands," This shows a harmonious
color scheme of golden tone but with
out the strong contrasts of light and
shade which characterize the greatest
part of Rembrandt's paintings. The
| ~Olil ID we'll Ud1dllCSu C1le
types of character are extremely dig
nifed.
These pictures and a number of
others are to become permanent addi-
tion to the art collection found in the
Clionian room. All those who are in
| terested in them are welcome to go
to the Clionion room where they may
be seen. R. W.

U.S.. SURPASSED IN
PUBLIC LIBRARIES

A Norwegian's chance to educate
himself is ten times better than that
of an American. Norway has ten
times as many free public libraries, in
proportion to population, as the Unit
ed States. With approximately $780,
900 people, Norway has more than
1900 state-supported free public Ii
braries, whereas the United States,
with more than one hundred million
persons, has less than 5000 free pub
lie libraries.
These facts, which have reached the
Valley City Public Library from the
American Library Association, are
cited to show the need for the "Books
for Everybody" movement, in which
the local library is cooperating. The
s'Books for Everybody" fund Of $2,-
100000, which is being raised by
friends of libraries throughout the
country, will enable the American Lii
brary Association to perform the work
Of national library commission, en-
couraging the establishment. and de-
velopment of public library service
throughout the United States. At
present, thirty states have free IL
brary service for less than fifty per
cent of their populations, six for less
than ten per cent, and one for less
than two per cent.
Despite the fact that the population
of Norway is more uniformly served
by libraries than that of America,
Norway, like other European coun-
tries, derives it's public library meth
DDS from the United States. Arne
Kildal, who recently arrived in Amer
lea on leave of absence from the Ber-
gen Public Library to take up special
work for thes Norwegian embassy in
Washington, reports that an increas-
ing number of Norwegian librarians
are attending library schools in the
United States, at Albany, estimates
that thorty Norwegian librarians have
received library training in America.

expected that each one will send
delegates to the convention which
will be held in the new Commercial
club rooms. Miss Cora Crowder,
president of the Fargo Business
Women's club has been named by
Mrs. Rex as chairman of the general
arrangements committee and the
members of the Fargo Business
Women's club will be hostesses to
the visiting business women. Full de-
tails in regard to the convention,
which will be the first of it's kind in
the state, will be announced later.
The meeting will be held just pre-
vious to the meeting of the national
association of Business and Profess
sional women to be held in St. Paul,
the latter part of July.

REGISTRATION
BREAKS RECORD

The registration for the 31st An
nual Convention Of the North Dakota
Sunday School Association, which
opens at Minot, Sunday, June 18th, is
the largest that has ever been record
ed up to this date" says State Sup
erintendent James C. Garrison in dis
cussing the convention today. "and we
are looking for the largest attendance
in the history of the association. Both
convention cities are doing their level
best to be ready for the delegates
when they arrive and every effort will
be made to give them an enjoyable
time.
AS evidence of the preparations
that are going forward, the gymnas-
ium of the Baptist Church of Valley
] City has been procured as dormitory
and sixty cots are being placed in po-
sition for use by sixty men. The la
| dies of the church will serve break
fast to the dormitory bunch. The
programs are printed and everything
is ready for the great day.
The coming of Walter S. Athearn,
of Boston University, to participate in
the program is one of the surprises
and an event to which Sunday School
workers are looking forward with
great anticipation. DR.. Athearn has
been in North Dakota for several con-
ventions and already has a. host of
friends here and will make many
more.
It is also planned to hold an insti-
tute on the Daily Vacation Bible
School matters. Miss Bertha R.
Palmer and Harold F.. Humbert will
act as instructors for the institute.
The fair and one-third that has been
granted by the Western Passenger
Bureau will very likely materially in
crease the attendance this year. This
will be worked on the certificate plan
and those attending will be expected
to buy full-rate ticket coming and
ask for a certificate, which will be
validated at the convention by repre-
sentative of the railroad company.

Cause they've won our love, you

AS we see the goods go by,

Kind o'watch the apples pass
From the trees into the grass;

Help to make us reconciled

VALLEY CITY
THE BEAUTIFUL

We have become used to hearing
this term applied to our city but how
many people really realize what
beautiful little city we have. There
is an old saying that people who live
around in beautiful surroundings do
not appreciate the beauty so much as
the people from the outside who are
less fortunate in this respect. So it
is getting more so every year because
our citizens are taking more interest
in the planting of shrubbery around
their homes. Just take ride around
Valley City simply for the purpose of
affirming what we say. Home after
home is a testimonial to the growth
of shrubbery and trees that are now
in full bloom lending concrete facts
and evidence that Valley City is the
"City Beautiful" There are so many
pretty yards and lawns where all
kinds Of shrubbery are in full bloom
that we are not going to single any
of them out, but we want you to drive
around and see them for yourselves.
The one thing that has been the big
thing in all hese improvements and
made these fine yards and lawns pos
sible is the Northwest Nursery Com
pany, of this city. This company has
sold most of the trees and shrubbery
that have beautifed these lawns and
homes and on many of these places
have superintended the planting
which now shows up so wonderfully
in various places around the city. The
northwest part of town seems to have
blossomed from wilderness to a reg
ular bower of beauty in many spots
and these make very delightful
comparison to the former bleakness
that ued to inhabit his section. Ev-
erywhere you see evidences of the
work of this company and if the COM
pany is of no more value to us than
that of Having large part in beauti-
flying the city, that in itself is indeed

II am entirely in sympathy with
the work of the American Library
Association and have the deepest re-
spect for whot it has done in the past.
During the war, the association per-
formed a most conspicuous service to
the four and one-half odd millions of
men and women who were engaged in
the military or naval forces of the
United States. This association is
now planning to continue it's activities
in other directions, and the program
which it has in mind deserves the
warm support of every citizen. The
standard Of the Nations civilization
can be measured by the learning of its
average citizen. Any effort to supply
facilities to assist in the education of
our youth marks a real step in the
educational progress of the entire ma
tion."
The educational program endorsed
by Mr.. Hoover as to be supported by
a Books for Everybody" fund of
$2,O00,0O0, now being raised by
friends of libraries throughout the
country. Less than fifty per cent of
the population Of the United States
has access to free public libraries.
The American Library Association
will work to create public sentiment
that will adequately support existing
public libraries and cause libraries to
be established where they do not now
exist.
