FACTS ABOUT THE
SUGAR SITUATION

When interviewed today relative to
the sugar situation, H. A. Patterson
of the l.. Patterson Mercantile COM
pany, made the following statement:
For many months the sugar mar
ket has been a puzzle to manufacture
ers, brokers and jobbers dealing in this
much used and necessary commodity.
In view of the regular prices at which
it is retailed in various parts of the
country, ranging from Is to 80 cents
a pound on the one hand and the re-
ports that there is plenty of sugar on
the other, it is small wonder the. pub
lie does not understand. There are
many causes which contribute to
bring about present chaotic conditions
principal among which was the failure
of our government to buy the cur
rent Cuban crop when it was offered
last August at 61a cents per pound.
Had this been done raw sugar would
now cost about cents delivered at
New York with retail price of 10
to IA cents for refined. Failure on the
part Of the government to supply the
necessary means of purchase the Cub

LITTLE DAUGHTER
TAKEN BY DEATH

A message was received early
Thursday morning from H. G. Arms
dorf, Deputy State Superintendent OF
Public instruction, Bismarck, by
friends of the family who live in the
city, that their little daughter, Aileen,
had passed away early in the day
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnsdorf were, for sew
eral years, prior to January i, 1919,
residents of Valley City. Mr.. Arnsdort
was connected with the Normal School
from 1912 to the date given above,
either as secretary or as registrar.
This little child was the oldest OF
the children and for almost two years
has been troubled great deal with
rheumatism, causing the parents con
siderable anxiety at times. From the
Daily Times-Record we learn that the
immediate cause of Aileen's death
was double pneumonia following an
attack of influenza. She was a lit
tie more than four years old.
Former faculty associates, alumni
and students who know Mr.. and Mrs
Arnsdorf will unite in extending to
the bereaved parents their deepest
sympathy in the loss of their child. A
floral token was sent by the faculty

warm sun beating down upon them,
and browning them, with feeling of
all outdoors to dance in. This is
where the girls are trained. They
wear the simple Denishawn suits
which are seen in all of our circulars,
and are SO familiar to many people,
and work before great mirrors for per-

girls spend many hours on technique,
it is not the rigid technique of the

enough of formal technique to make
possible the expression and interpre->

WRITES ON GREAT
NATIONAL PARK

Last summer following the close Of
the summer session Professor j. T..
Switzer led party of students
through Yellowstone Park. After the
party broke up Mr.. Switzer went on
to the Glacier National Park in
Northwestern Montana where he
travelled rather extensively. The con-
tribution below is the first article on
this beautiful park which is not so
we'll known as the Yellowstone Coun-
try. It is destined to become one Of
the famous spots in America.
Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park was created
by act of Congress in May, 1910,
hence has been before the public only
short time. It is located in the
northwest part of Montana, with the
Canadian boundary for. it's northern
limit, the Flathead River for it's wes-
tern and southern boundary, and the
Great Plains on the east. It contains
1884 square miles Of as rugged noun
tains as can be found almost any
where, rivaling the Canadian Rockies
and the Alps of Europe. It derives it's
name from the sixty glaciers which
it contains. It also possesses some
$50 of the most beautiful glacial lakes
to be found in America.
Glacier Park has for it's central core
two main parallel ranges Of noun
tains, the Livingstone and Lewis
ranges, that run in general north
west-southeast direction, forming the
continental divide. The region is not
,,otoI fo,. ;kc oxtro,,, o11y h; ~, o1%;kyIo,
but for the abruptness of the change
in altitude. As you approach from the
east you pass suddenly from the plains
into the mountains which rise from
1000 to 5000 feet above the general
surface upon which they rest. The
change is less abrupt from the west.
Once in the park. you are in the midst
of towering peaks from whose shad-
ows you can scarcely escape.
From the continental divide, located
in about the central part of the park,
nineteen valleys lead outward, seven
toward the east, and twelve
toward the west. These valleys were
all occupied by great valley glaciers,
during the glacial period, that were
deepening and widening them. This
accounts for their steep sides and
blunt cirque heads still occupied by the
remnant of the great ice sheet. The
divides have been so nearly cut away
that in places they are but narrow
lodges Of rock with precipitous slopes
on either side. The famous Garden
Wall' is one Of such type Many of
the notable passes as Gunsight Pass,
Dawson, Swift Current, Ptarmigan,
Triple Divide, Piegan, and others are
but breaks in this mountain wall
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1920-02-19

where it has been worn out by the
erosive action Of the ice. The views
one gets from these points Of vantage
are never to be Forgotten.
There are but two ways of seeing
the park. One is on horse back, the
other, on foot. The roads are only
mountain trails two or three feet
wide, winding up the river valleys to-
ward the continental divide, mounting
the cirque wall by innumerable zigzag
"switch backs" skirting along narrow
lodges with yawning chasms hundreds
Of feet below you, and vertical wall
rising hundreds of feet above you on
the other side. The scene is ever
changing. There is a perpetual
kaleidoscope of color and scenic
grandeur that is ever new, ever in
tensely interesting. It is enough to
repay anyone for the effort and money
necessary to secure at least two or
three weeks of real pleasure and
profit.
Glacier Park is reached by the
Great Northern railroad and may be
entered from Bolton, the west en-
trance, from which an automobile
stage will carry you to the foot of
Lake Mcdonald, five miles to the north
or from Glacier Park Station. the east
entrance. From Glacier Park Station
an automobile stage runs along the
eastern side Of the park and carries
tourists to Two Medicine, Cut Bank,
and St. Marys chalets and the Many
Glacier Hotel. Many take this auto
trip and visit the points in question,
thinking they have seen Glacier Park.
In reality they have not been more
than three or four miles within the
park boundaries9 To see and know
Glacier Park, one must, on foot OF
horse back, travel over large part Of
it's 225 miles of trails, and live in it's
solitudes among majestic mountains.

TO PLAY GAMES IN
NORMAL GYMNASIUM

Principal R. L. Brown Of the Valley
City High school and Secretary C. A.
Lee have reached an agreement where
by the high school basketball games
will be played in the Normal School
gymnasium. The first game to be
played on the ''home" floor will be a
week from tonight, next Saturday,
February 81, when the Jamestown
High school five will come to play the
V. C. H. S. quintet. It is announced
that the game will be called at 8
o'clock. On February 26 the Caring
ton High school team, one of the fast
est in the state, will play the local
CITY team. When V. C. H. S. played

was tie at the end Of the game, the

HIGH SCHOOL HAS
TWO HOME GAMES

Saturday night Of this week the To-
cal High school will meet the James
town High school in basket ball
game at the Normal gymnasium. It
was planned when it was learned the
local High School gymnasium would
not be finished for use that the school
would have no home games. But the
demand has been SO great from all
sources that arrangements Tor game
were made with the Normal for the
use of their floor for such game.
The arrangements were made under
the conditions of limit in the size Of
the attendance which is desirable for
all concerned. Phis limit was made
at four hundred. There will be fifty
tickets reserved for the normal school
students and there will be at Leaf two
hundred tickets sold among the High
school students and many in the
grades so that there will be left for
the public not more than $50 at most.
jamestown will probably want to
bring a large crowd to the game but
their attendance will be limited to the
number of unsold tickets Friday night
at four o'clock. We are indeed sorry
that it will not be possible to accom-
odate all who want to see this game
but until we have a building in town
large enough to accommodate such a
crowd that will be impossible. If there
are persons who desire tickets and
who have not been solicited for them
they may call the High school Office or
the principal to have such reserva-
tions made and tickets will be sent to
them.
The game with Jamestown promises
to be very fast one indeed as the To-
cal team succeeded in defeating them
only by margin Of two points and
since that time Jamestown has defeat
ed Bismarck and was defeated by Car
rington by but three points. The
teams in the state are more evenly d.
vided this year than ever in the his
tory of basket ball in the state and as
a result the games will be faster this
year than ever and won by smaller
margins. Darlington has the edge on
all the teams Of the state thus far
having won 81 games and lost but one
jamestown, Casselton. Bismarck, Far
go, Minot and Valley City are all play
ing a close game from scores and all
have almost if not equal chances to
cop the championships in the districts
they are located. This game is bound
TO be fast one and it is desired that
all the people in Valley City who de-
sire to see the local team in action this
year make arrangements early enough
so they will not be disappointed for
the game of this week.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES

The third and fourth grades had the
pleasantest of surprises last Satur-
day,-a box of pussy willows from
Pine City, Washington, sent by Miss
Idalia Larson who taught in both
third and fourth grades last year and
still thinks Of us once in while.
In the drawing classes we took pic
lures of the pussies. Miss Deem came
in to help, bringing with her a little
black pussy who had four legs and
never sat still on brown bough.
The third and fourth grades are
much absorbed over the valentines
they are making which are prettier
than the "store ones" they say. A
gaily colored Colonial doll is the main
feature of these love messages that
will be sent through our valentine box
on Saturday.. February IA.
THE children OF the first and sec
ond grades are glad to welcome the
return of their many friends who have
been absent from school on account Of
illness.
The children of the kindergarten en-
tertained the first grade at a Valen-
tine party Saturday morning.
The kindergarten children are max
ing valentines to send to their little
friends who are ill. They have also
remembered their practice teachers
in their illness by writing them each
letter.

THE DEED OF AN AUTOCRAT

Upon what meat uoIn IiliS o"i
Caesar feed, that he is grown so
great?" Woodrow Wilson now casts
out of his Cabinet his faithful and sub
missive Secretary Of State, Robert
lansing, because, while he was him
self totally incapacitated for the dis
charge of his great duties, Mr.. Lans-,
ing called the Cabinet together and
organized a temporary government TO
bridge over the interregnum.
Did ever king on throne, or en-
>peror over realm, or autocrat over
many. dismiss a minister in so AFRO.
cant spirit or with such a show OF
childish petulance?
Mr.. Wilson affects to discern in the
action of Mr.. Lansing and his col
leagues of the Cabinet an inexcusable
usurpation of the Presidential preroga-
tive, the setting Of precedent "of the
most serious consequences
He writes to Mr.. Lansing.
No action could be taken with
out me by the Cabinet, and there
fore there could have been no dis
advantage in awaiting action with
regard to matters concerning
which action could not have been
taken without me-
This purely legalistic view of the
situation when the President is inca
FACILITATED would be astonishing, were
it not so Wilsonian. What Mr.. Wilson
declares, means for example, that no
governmental measures should have
been taken to settle the coal strike,
until he himself had recovered sufti-
GENTLY to act. The Country might
starve, the people might freeze, indus
try might rust and crumble in idle
ness. But let no Cabinet officer lift
a finger, lest a precedent weakening
the constitutional authority of the
president be established!
And as for precedent, how about the
Garfield Cabinet which carried on the
Government during those tense weeks
in the summer of 1881, when their
chief, struck down by an assassln's
bullet, lay lowering between life and
death?
There was only one alternative for
temporary Cabinet government. That
was to declare the President suffering
from disability and to call in the Vice
President to assume the duties of the
officer under the clause of the con-
stitution that directs such action.
But this course was beset with diff
ficulties. There were no precedents to
guide action. There was doubt as to
whether the President would be le-
gally able to resume his duties, if
his disability should pass. Mr.. Mar
shall lie Vice President, seems to
have been opposed to such action, at
least until tie recovery. of Mr.. Wilson
should be held by the medical experts
