BEE RaISERS MAKE MONEY
Possible to Beat the High Cost Of
Sugar and So Unite Pleasure
With Gain.

Keep a bee and produce your own
sweetening, says Thrift. Sugar is
scarce, IFS price high, and you eau
not grow it in your garden. But
honey contains several kinds of
sugars, as welt as SOME other sub
stances, and a colony or two of bees
IN orchard, garden or back yard will
afford both pleasure aud profit, as
many thousands of people know, and
at the same time will provide a
wholesome food which will take the
place of a large part of the sugar
now consumed.
Not only is the bee valuable as a
producer, but it offers a recreation
which pays its own way, and is most
beneficial in cross-pollmating the
flowers Of various economic plants.
Honey as it comes from the hive
is in the form of comb honey, ald as
such appeals to most users. But
enormous quantities of honey are
now used for manufacturing pur-
poses, and this demand is, Of course,
for the other form in which it is on
the market-extracted honey.
This honey is usually pure and Of
good quality, and the advaRtage of
comb honey, which retails at slightly
higher price, is chiefly its attractive
ness to the eye. The simplest way
of using extracted honey is to serve
like a sirup.

STAR COLOR.

A new means of determining star
colors, devised by DR.. L, S. King. is
described in the Journal of the Brit
ish Astronomical Association. Over
the telescope objective is placed a
piece of plate glass commercial
glass is good enough for the pur-
pose), which is coated with a CELIA
tin film, one-half of which is stained
yellow and the other half blue. The
images of the stars are then photo
graphed out Of focus on ~isochromatic
plates. Each image, therefore, ap-
pears as a disk, one portion of which
shows the effect Of the yellow light
and the other the effect of the blue
light. The two halves Of the image
are then compared by means of a
Photographic wedge or By some other
similar means.

Summer COMPLAINS in ChiIdreI

Summer Complaints in Children
There is not anything like so
many deaths from this disease
now as before Chamberlain's
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy
came into such general use.
When this remedy is given with
castor oil as directed and proper
care is taken as to diet, it is safe
to say that fully ninety-nine out
of every hundred cases recover.
Mr.. w, G. Campbell of Butler,
Tenn, says, 81 have used Cham
berlain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy for summer complaint
in children. 1t is far ahead of

this purpose. Adv.

ButtermiIk-A Good Drink For
The Summer.

ButtermiIk-A Good Drink For
The Summer.
The term buttermilk has for
many years been applied to the
product left after churning milk
or cream and abstracting the
butter, In the last few years a
new kind of buttermilk has been
placed on the market which is
rapidly displacing the old-fash-
toned, home-churned product.
Some prejudice exists against
these manufactured buttermilks,
but as an actual matter of fact
they are cleaner and better suit
ed for food purposes than the
old product was under ordinary
conditions. The new buttermilk
has a sharper and cleaner taste,
largely due to the fact that the
acid is developed more rapidly,
and from known germs.
Butter manufacturers do not
depend on the accidental souring
of milk as much as formerly,
but use pure culture starters"
as they are called. So in manu-
featuring the buttermilk we add
known germ to clean, SKINNED
milk, and produce an artificial
buttermilk which is extremely
pleasing to the taste Of most peo-
pie, and is freer from dirt and
adventurous germs than the old
product was.
Slightly different methods ex-
list, but the following recipe rep
resents the newer product, and
will show people what they are
drinking when they take the
manufactured buttermilk:
One gallon of whole milk is
r.
added to twenty gallons of
SKINNED milk as soon as it has
been separated. This is not nee
essary, but is done because most
like to see Some signs of
butterfat. Starter" is added,
and the whole quantity of milk
is kept at TO- F for six or sew
en- hours. 1t will be found to
have curdled. 1t is then churned
for one-half hour, and should be
bottled at once and cooled to So
or below to prevent the further
Development Of acid and separa-
ton of whey. 1t is finally strain
through cheesecloth to re-
move any coars Jumps and to
a smooth product.
1t is a refreshing and tasteful
rink with high food value, and
as a summer drink it is especi-
ally grateful as we'll as useful to
both children and to adults.

Valley City's new High School build

after the Christmas vacation. A mod
ern and sanitary building in, every re-
spect the new school, although not as
large as some Of the High Schools in
the northwest, is as fully modern, and
as we'll equipped with the very latest
modern Improvements to be found
The building has been under process
of construction for period of over
year and half, the work being un-
avoidably halted at times by the lack
Of material and labor, brought about
by conditions existing after the war.
The general contract for the con-
struction of the building was award
ed to w. ]. Curren, the heating sys-
tenn and plumbing work to the Valley
City Plumbing and Heating Co., and
the electrical work by Arthur Bonhus.
The entire school is heated by city
steam, supplied from the city power
plant.
Commencing with the gymnasium,
brief outline will be given of the new
school, describing the new, modern i'm
provements, the increased. facilities
for class work, and other details.

The gymnasium is 51x80 feet, ac-
tual floor. space, below the bleachers
which occupy the east and west sides.
The floor is marked of for basketball,
vclley ball, indoor baseball, and other
games. No extra gymnasium equip
ment has been purchased at this time,
and will not be for some time, due to
the still prevailing high prices. How
ever, there is plenty enough to carry
on the work very successfully. Steel
lockers are provided for the use of stu
dents who take an active part in ath-
letics. Shower baths are also provid-
ed. This section of the school will
also be used for physical education,
which is becoming more and more ire-
portant each year. The federal gov
ernment is cooperating with schools
throughout the country in this work.

BOOZE VENDORS
NABBEDBYCHlEF

"Ho everyone that thirsteth, come
unto me and I will sell you BOOZE"
was the slogan that Jack Williams
and James Cole, adopted when they hit
Valley City Christmas morning, with
the best intention of selling enough
booze to make those who had the
price feel that the world was safe
from prohibition, but they had not
reckoned on Chief Ernie Swanson be-
ing on the job-that's where they fell
down on their calculations, for he
"pinched them" with their twelve
quarts Of o be joyful. They confessed
to the officials that the twelve quarts
was just forerunner of the main
crop of booze coming-that they had
a trunkful Of it coming in over the
500 line. Chief Swanson and his
bunch made swift run for the 500 to
get that trunk, but when they got
there the trunk was bare, and all that
was left was the wrappers which had
been around the bottles. Some Of
those 500 brakemen have noses on
them like pointer pups, and they got
a "'point" on that trunk and came to
a stand. It is needless to say that the
500 bunch got the game while our
fellows got the trunk. Mr.. Williams
and Mr.. Cole will plead guilty before
Judge I. J. Moe today and will be
bound over to the district court
where they will tell their little story
to Judge Englert in the very near fu-
ture.

BASKET BALL II: ( !.
+. THURSDAY NIGHT

have a basketball game scheduled Cor
Thursday night at the high school
gymnasium when they will go up
against the fast American Legion
bunch from Darlington. This is go
ing to be real game because the
Darlington team has put up a wonder
full game against Minot and the Magic
City has one of the best, if not the
best basketball team belonging to
the American Legion in the state. The
game will be a fast one from start to
finish and lovers of the game are sure
to get their moneys worth. The local
fellows have been playing some great
basketball this winter and if Caring
ton puts it over on them all we can
say is that they will have to go some.
The price is only 35c for adults, with
students slipping in for the modest
sum of two bits. Go early to avoid
the rush and the ones who get there
first are. the ones who get the best
seats. A word to the wise is sufficient.

but at the present time, of course, is
quite a novelty. Buffalo meat used to
be as plentiful years ago in this state
as mutton, but today it is a great
luxury as the buffalo are mighty
scarce in this country compared to
what they were forty years ago.

REV. THOMAS E. NUGENT
Pastor of the First Congregational
Church of Christ, Valley City.

The following editorial from the
Kewanee, ILL.,, Daily Star-Courier,
will give our Valley City people an in
sight of the work and character Of the
new pastor Of the Congregational
church, whose work at Kewanee during
the past nine years, was evidently
much appreciated:
A pastorate Of nine years with the
First Congregational church of this
city closes with the resignation of
Rev. Thos. E. Nugent who will ac-
cept a call to the First Congregational
church of Valley City, North Dakota.
This is the longest pastorate in the
history of this kewanee church and
it is one that has been marked by eff
ficient service that has extended far
beyond the lines Of denominational
activity.
Indeed, if there is one thing that
stands out most conspicuously above
the high level of Mr.. Nugent's labors
it is the cooperation and leadership
which have come from him in all the
matters of civic and community bet
terment. He has taken the attitude
that the city is one large family
which should work harmoniously and
effectively towards the right things
in community life. He has given un-
sparingly in a multitude of enter
prises directed to this end.
All who have labored with him and
all who have been in sympathy with
his efforts, and this includes prac-
tically all the citizenship, will regret
his departure while wishing him and
his family the rich success they de-
serve in the new field to which they
go.
