The Rug of
the Universe!
A Rare and Richly
Symbolic Kirn,an from
Teher1n

TT is probably safe 60 say
that there is not such an.
\ other rug in the United
States as this wonderful piece,
which comes to US from a we'll
known collector and connois-
seur, who purchased it In the
year 1918, from Persian noble,
in Teheran.
It Is an old Kirman Of the fin
est stitch and for softness and
delicacy of texture, harmony
and mellowness Of coloring and
accuracy of detail may well be
called a gem Of the loom.
Fine Kirmans usually have
400 knots per square inch.
This one is supposed to contain
600, hence its wonderful sub
stance.
The motif purports to sym
bolize the entire universe, the
various races of mankind. the
animal, vegetable and bird life
of the earth and the denizens OF
the sea. The field is in the
natural undyed shade of the
wool, forming a ground on
which the various designs and
figures are worked out with re-
markable fidelity in a variety
of shades-rose, light and dark
blue, green, red, brown and
other tones according to the re-
quirements of the thing repre-
sented.
The outstanding feature Of
the design is the tree of life
with its spreading branches,
green foliage, birds. birds
nests, butterflies, and other
characteristic phenomena.
In the border there is brief
explanatory script in the native
language.
The piece measures 9.7x5-6
feet and is priced on a COM
mercial basis at $500.

THE SHORTAGE
OF TEACHERS

& The teacher shortage remains a
menace to the public schools accord
ing to preliminary reports made pub
lie today by the National Education
Association. Replies to question
naires sent out by the association have
come from all sections of the United
States. These reports show that in
places where teachers salaries have
been increased one hundred per cent or
more the situation is nearly always
satisfactory. But such places are
comparatively few, and in localities
where salaries have been increased
fifty per cent or less the teacher
shortage is commonly greater than
wear ago. Rural communities are
hardest hit. Signed reports from
superintendents Of many counties in
dicate that a third of their rural
schools cannot open for want of teach
ers. Tens of thousands Of schools will
be in charge Of teachers who have had
no professional preparation and whose
academic training barely exceeds that
Of the children they teach.
Relief from this serious situation,
which imperils the stability Of Amer
ican rural life, will be sought from the
next session of congress. Renewed
efforts will be made to obtain the pas
sage of the Smith Towner bill, which
creates department Of education
with secretary in the presidents 8 3
cabinet and provides federal aid OF
$10o. .OOO, 900 for education.

GRID SEASON
WILL OPEN SOON

The atheletic association Of the
High School has made public the itin-
erary Of the football team'for the first
five games of the season. The first
game will be played with Lisbon on
their grounds, on October 2. Lisbon
is reported as having fast team, and
the local boys expect to 60 up against
a team of equal playing ability. The
football season at home will be usher
ed in on October 9, when the Fargo
team will clash with the locals. This
will perhaps be the hardest fought
game Of the season, since. it will be
remembered that Valley City won
from Fargo a year ago by only two
points. On October 16, the boys will
journey down to Casselton, where they
will meet the high school team of that
place. The second game to be played
on the local gridiron will be on Octo-
ber %, when the Enderlin I'll" will
try conclusions with our team. As
one player put it, "the Enderlin hus-
kies are not going to be cinch for
Valley City," Our old rival, James
town, will appear here on October 13,
according to the schedule. According
to reports, the jamestown grid-stars
are contemplating an easy victory but
the boys are all confident that they
can show them the difference between
imagination and realization.
If the locals are successful in their
games during October, it is likely 9TH
er games will be billed for the month
of November. A new rule which is
being rigidly enforced by the athletic
board is that any team competing for
state championship must not book
games for more than one month in
advance.
Although handicapped by the loss of
some of the heaviest and best players,
some good football material has de-
veloped, and the line has been consid-
erably strengthened. Confidence is
expressed by the coach, the team, and
the students that this season will be
a winner.
The ticket sale for the first game
will be coming soon, and the team is
looking for your support to the fullest
extent. In years past the athletic as
sociation of the school has been spong-
ing, so to speak, on the business men
Of the city to get proceeds to carry
their athletic activities through, but
different method will be adopted this
hear. Honorary association tickets
will be sold to the business men, the
price Of which will be $3.50. An hon.
orary member of the association will
be allowed to get his tickets to the
local games at reduced prices. This
will be the only drive for money this
year, so the athletic association feels
confident that the business men of he
city will get behind the proposition.

;NISKY RUNNER
>S SHOT IN LEG

She % Larson and deputy got an
ether e,:;slly runner Thursday eve
ning al q four miles west Of town.
There W, = two occupants in the car,
one ma md the other a woman.
They were Giving a Buick roadster,
and had abL~sc8 cases of booze stored
away in it. The sheriff had been tip
ped off to be on the lookout, and so
got busy and laid his plans and got
him. When the car was stopped, the
man evidently thought he could use a
shooting iron pretty well, but the Off
GERS of the law were too quick for him,
and as result he is in the hospital
with a bullet in his leg. The woman
is being held in the county Jail, await
ing action Of the federal authorities,
who will perhaps take the case under
their care:-
In an interview with Mr.. Larson
this morning, he tells US that he con-
.siders himself lucky that he isn't in
the undertaking parlors today. When
the car was stopped, the man jumped
out and ran behind the sheriff's car
at the same time pulling a 38 calibre
revolver. He fired point blank at the
sheriff, being only about four feet
from him, but missed. Before he
could eject the shell the sheriff had
his "45" working, and fired three
shots, the first two missing, but the
third shattering his right leg, break
ing the bones in it. He was behind
Mr.. Larson's car, and only the top of
his head was visible, but backed away
few feet and the sheriff's bullet got
him in the leg. The lady with him,
he, claims to be his wife.
The sheriff is doing some good work
in running down these fellows, and
seems to be getting q record all of his
own for capturing these runners. This
kind of traffic is becoming more and
more hazardous, since authorities have
decided to cooperate in an attempt to
stop it. A meeting was held at
Grand Forks recently at which Can
adian and American authorities for
mulated plans to attempt to put an
end to the illegal traffic, but there are
miles of border over which they can
pass, but its long, long way to st.
Paul and Minneapolis, where most of
them seem to be bound.

AUTO RACE MEET
WELL ATTENDED

Although rain in the morning, and
threatening clouds all day threatened
to hold up the big race meet planned
for Wednesday, the weather mans
heart relented and the meet was pull
ed off as scheduled, with the exception
of the airplane stunt. The manage
ment is very sorry that this stunt was
forced to be abandoned, but it was
no fault of theirs. In order to do the
stunt, the airplane must go up in the
air several thousand feet, so as to
give the man jumping with the para
chute chance to open up the bag
and descend to safety. The low fly
ing clouds yesterday would have hid
the airplane from view, and at the
same time the danger which would be
encountered in doing the stunt would
be almost double on a misty day such
as yesterday, the air being so dense.
The time trials started about 4
o'clock, and some considerable time
was occupied in getting the cars lined
as regards pole position. Grasswick,
a local man, driving the French Spe-
cial, made the best time in these trial
and was given the pole position. His
time, 1912 2-5 for the mile. Lee Of
Fargo, driving the Elgin, got second
best place, his time, 1:15 rs. Hig-

mile in 1:17 fiat, and the Dusenburg,
a car from Ortonville, Mimi, driven
by Hills was given the outside posi-
tion, making the mile in 1:17 2-5.
Thus stationed, they were of after

HEAVY TEAM FOR
VIC. H. S. ELEVEN

When the v. C. H. S. eleven faces
the strong Lisbon aggregation in the
seasons opener at the Lisbon field Sat-
urday it will have different line from
last year. The Blue and White line
last year averaged about 1876 pounds.
Indications today are that the line
will average 165 or 17O. This will be
one of the heaviest teams in the state.
Coach Fagin sent his squad through a
hard signal practice in the new GYM
nasium last night and with the addi-
tion Of Briggs things looked pretty
bright for winning team. Captain
Wertin and cFadgen give life to the
team and Mulhair adds to the fun by
his terrific line plunging and excel
lent interference.
The ends, Curren and Kernkamp are
a snappy pair and are dangerous
men both on the offense and defense.
Coach Fagin expects to take the
rough edges off this week and all will
be set for the sure battle with Lisbon
next Saturday. The wonderful spirit
that the scrubs have taken so far is
to be commented on because with such
a heavy line and smashing backs they
receive hard knocks and no encourage
ment. .r-s .-.
. A never -die-spirit has been injected
into the men by Coach Fagin. From
all indications Valley City is to have
a championship foot ball team as we'll
as one in basket ball. 49,.
The merchants cheerfully bought
the membership card offered by the
newly organized Athletic Association
and this in itself has given new life
to the team because they have been
assured their support. It is the plan
of the athletic organization to in
clude the merchants in their organi-
zation because it is civil affair and
will be the strong feature of the de-
partment in the future. Athletics have
already taken boom because the
previous plan has been abolished by
Coach Fagin and the students handle
all the affairs that have to do with
athletics. 1t is their plan to put ath-
letics on paying basis in all lines Of
sport and the slogan has been adopted
"Watch US Grow" The association
is certainly very thankful to the mer-
chants for their cooperation and sue
cessful year is planned by them.

who hoped to see them carry off first
and second prizes as they did at Man
dan and Breckenridge.
The track was in good condition,
considering the recent rains, but
slightly rough at the south end. The
officials are well pleased with the
crowd which turned out. All the stores
and other business houses in the city
closed at $3.50 to enable their employees
to attend.
