Annual Township Meetings Being
Held This Month, Throughout
County.

A schedule of township meetings
for the purpose of electing officers
and school district co-operators for
1921 was made out covering the en-
tire county commencing Nov. 8 and
closing on Saturday evening, Nov.
~. On account Of the inclement
weather during the early part Of
this schedule three OF the sche iuled
meetings have not been held, also the
one in Fremont township on account
OF the death Of township president
Fifield's mother, Mrs. w. C. Fifield,
one Of Fremont's early pioneers.
The postponed annual meetings
will be called as rapidly as time per-
mits following the completion of the
schedule which is under way. 1t is
the hope of every township that
these annual meetings may be held
in good form before winter sets in.
The schedule during the next few
days is as follows:

Club Members Show.
Everything is progressing nicely

reported that they will bring in their

bring theirs in on the scheduled day
just the same. Arrangements are be-
ing completed in good form and we
hope the roads will be passible and
the weather fair on Saturday, Nov.

ELKS BOXING SHOW
PROVES SUCCESS

The boxing show at the Elks hall
last night under the auspices of the
local lodge Of Elks, proved to be an
evening full of interest and amuse-
ment. AZ
The preliminaries were furnished
entirely by local talent and the bouts
were full Of pep and ginger, both go
ing to draw, but proved that with
proper training and proper place to
train, Valley City could develop some
boxing talent that would place her
among the leaders of the state in this
fascinating athletic entertainment.
The main bout between Jack JOS
ephs of Minneapolis and Kid Miller
was most satisfactory bout viewed
from all points. Miller did not show
at his best, being in poor condition
to face such a sturdy battler as JOS
ephs, but his ability to stay to the fin
ish proved him a..tartar and won for
him many friends who will be pleased
to see him in action again at some
future time.
While the critics agreed that JOS
ephs had the best of the argument as
whole, it might be said that Miller
won the first and second rounds by an
edge, got an even break in the third
and fourth and lost the fifth and sixth
by a wide margin,
The Elks hope to be able to hold
a few more of these athletic enter
tainments during the winter and the
date and program will be announced
from time to time.

KEEP AWAY FROM 1T

We have heard of several instances
lately of farmers who, disappointed
in the sale of their crops, have tur ed
to those gambling joints which We
call bucket shops to make good .helr
losses. In some cases we have been
told they have done so. In a few
days of gambling they have made
more money than in whole year OF
farming.
But it's dangerous business. The
farmer who enters one of these gam
bling joints is bucking sure thing
game. He is playing with loaded
dice. He may win for a time. He
may even quit winner. But the
men, outside of the big fellows who
manipulate the game, who have made
money in the end out of gambling
are few and far between.
And the worst of it is that it
corrupts the morals of those who
engage in it. With whatever good
motives a man may enter the gam
bling game, when he takes up gam
bling he becomes, in the end, a
gambler. 1t is, of course. a crime
against civilization that such an i'm
morality as anabling in the nations
food is permitted by a nation that
calls itself Christian, but no one is
forced to become a gambler, just be-
cause gambling is permitted, and in
our humble judgment farmers should
keep themselves clean. In the end
they will be better off financially,
and they will be in better position
morally to wage an unrelentmg fight
for the cleaning out Of the whole
criminal gambling system and the
gamblers who support it and grow
rich from it.-Fargor Courier-News.
The above is mighty good advice.
Let it soak in.

SUGAR AND COAL

Sugar now is retailing in eastern
cities at from 8 to cents a pound.
Thus ends what was probably the
greatest profiteering conspiracy in the
history of this country, unless it be
the present coal situation.
The sugar shortage" was deliber-
ately engineered by sugar spectators
who had no economic reason for exist
ence. They did not take any part in
the distribution of the sugar from the
planter to the consumer. They inter-
fered with this distribution and levied
outrageous taxes on the consumer by
cornering available supplies and fore
ing legitimate jobbers, legitimate
wholesalers and legitimate retailers
to pay their price or 60 without sugar.
1t is now admitted that the 1919-192O
sugar crop was equal to the world de-
mand and that there was large stock
of sugar available when the year be-
gan. There is now big surplus of
the old crop on hand, with tremendous
new crops coming along, which prom
Use to break all production records:
Yet both the legitimate dealers and
distributors of sugar and the consum-
ing public were at the mercy Of few
spectators. ..'
Much the same conditions exist in
the coal trade today The legitimate
dealers have been at the mercy of
spectators. They pay exorbitant
prices for their supplies and pass them
on to the consumers. The senatorial
committee on reconstruction. warned
the coal trade that it would have to
drive out the spectators and mater
tally reduce prices unless it wanted
rigid government control. More than
a month has passed since that threat,
and the committee is reported to have
prepared the necessary bills for sub
mission to congress as soon as it op-
ems. Apparently the coal trade has
been either unable or unwilling to
cope with the Spectator and govern
ment supervision and regulation is in
prospect.
Every consumer will welcome it..
Our railroads followed "the public be
damned" policy until an enraged pub
lie almost wrecked the roads with reg
ulatory legislation. But we learned
how to regulate an industry by expert
menting with the railroads, and there
should be no reason for repeating our
mistakes in tackling the coal industry.
Regulation does not mean national
ization," and if it is the right kind Of
regulation it will remove, any reason
for naturalization. Strict regulation
of the coal industry from mines to bin
ought to be one of the first steps I'M
dertaken by the Republican congress
Forum.
