ACCIDENTALLY
SHOOTS SELF

Edward Johnson, the sixteen year
old son of j. ". Johnson met with an
accident last Sunday while hunting
ducks on Jim Lake. The young man,
together with other friends, were at q
point between the Jim River and the
lake, when he shot duck which fell
on the other side of the river. A boat
had been secured in advance for such
an happening, and he got in it and
went across to the other side to get
the bird. He got across all right and
was pulling the boat up on shore,
when the accident occurred.
1t seems that. the farmer had a
piece of wire fastened on to the boat
to haul it with, and the lad took hold
Of this, which evidently was tangled
up with the trigger Of the shot gun,
and the weapon was discharged, the
shot entering his right arm just above
the elbow, and coming out above the
right shoulder. The gun was ~
guage bore. Nothing worse than a
flesh wound resulted, and unless other
complications set in, the doctors are
confident that the arm can be saved.
Immediately after the accident he was
taken to jamestown hospital, dis
lance of about 40 miles, where he is
reported resting comfortably at the
present time. He was rather weak
from loss Of blood after the long trip
to the hospital.

HASTINGS NEWS

Threshing in the surrounding com

few weeks great deal Of blowing
will be seen.
Managers Elm and Faien gave the
people Of this town quite a treat Sat-
urday evening when they presented
them with "Lust Of Ages" A large
crowd attended the movie, and every
Saturday night Hastings will have a
picture show. Next Saturday night
they will present VIM. S. Hart in
"The Captive God" This will be a
very good show we are sure, and a
large crowd will be present.
A number of our sportsmen were
out Thursday morning and from re-
ports they sure are raising havoc with
the grouse and ducks.
Alright rain fell here Saturday
night but hardly enough to stop the
oberations.
Our village has been very quiet of
late, even politics have simmered down
to a point where the nonpartisans Of
this town argue no more about their
idol, Townley and his gang, and the
money they haven't made.
The new garage will soon be COM
pleted and the new store is coming
along fine and in a few weeks will be
ready for occupancy.

CLUB ROOMS FOR
W0MEN'S CLUB

The Business and Professional
Women's Club have secured rooms on
the second floor of the building now
owned and occupied by the Barnes
County Abstract Company on Fifth
Avenue, and expect to move into the
rooms within few weeks. The build
ing is being remodeled and thorough
ly modernized. The club will occupy
two rooms sufficiently large to provide
social quarters for it's members. The
rooms will be comfortably furnished
and equipped with modern conven-
fences, filling need long felt by
women employed in the city.
This is the first women's club in the
city, and probably the first in the
state, to open club rooms. The young
women behind the project are very
over the possibilities and
look upon this as the first step to-
wards securing a club house. A fin
ance campaign will be begun at once,
also a membership campaign, to pro-
vide funds to furnish the rooms. Bus
mess men and club women of the city
have expressed their approval of and
interest in the project and have prom.
sed to aid the club in it's efforts.

HUNTING BEFORE

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 21.-Informa-

letter from George M. Hogue, secre-
tary. of the North Dakota Game and
Fish Commission. The state law pro-
hibits hunters of game birds to start
their activities before sunrise while
the federal law makes the bird "hunt-
ing day" from half hour before SUM-

gives the bird this extra half-hour of

says, and sportsmen are asked to CO.

MISSIONARY TO
SPEAK SATURDAY

"A woman, whose husband was a
victim of the horrible Turkish mas
sacres, knows the story of the Near
East sufferings at first hand. Being
also one Of the greatest woman ora
tors of America, she is able to tell the
story of those suffering people in the
most informing and thrilling interest
ing manner. The people of Valley
City are to have the rare privilege Of
hearing such speaker in the City
Hall at eight o'clock Saturday eve
ming, Sept. 26th. This privilege will
be shared with only four other cities
in the entire state.
Fargo is planning to have one
thousand of its citizens out to hear
this magnetic speaker Friday evening.
It cannot, then, be too much to ex-
pect Valley City to fill the City Hall
to capacity Saturday night for like
purpose.
Mrs. Jeanette WATSON Enrich and
her husband, DR.. r. S. Enrich, were
missionaries in Turkey for a consid-
cradle number of years. The Doctor
was a medical missionary, and was
killed by the Turks during the recent
war. In short time Mrs. Enrich re-
turns to Turkey in charge of the
Arabic work of both the Presbyterian
and Congregational churches. Her
three sons, all born in Turkey, will ac-
company their mother. Mrs. Enrich
not only has personal first hand in
formation concerning those countries
so vitality important to all the world
at the present time, but she is per-
sonally acquainted with many of the
leading officials of the Turkish en-
pire.
It is believed and expected that the
business and professional men Of
Valley City will manifest their appre-
citation of this opportunity given to
this city by making special effort to
turn out in mass to hear this excep-
tional speaker. Indeed, all the mem
bers Of the leading lodges, clubs, or.
ders, declarations and churches are
showing special interest in her sub
ject in. other cities, and it is believed
that the representative Of these or
CARNATIONS in Valley City will not be
behind those of other places in giving
her hearty welcome and ap interest
ed hearing, Saturday night at the City
Hall.

BARNES EXHIBIT
WASAGOOD ONE

In appreciation of the exhibit which
Barnes county furnished at the re-
cent Missouri Slope Fair at Mandan,
and the work Of the county agent and
club leader in interesting the boys and
girls Of this county to send in their
exhibits, the following letter, signed
by Max Morgan, county agent Of Nor
ton county has been received by us.
The letter follows:
Just a word to let you know how
much we appreciate the county exhibit
from your county that was shown by
the county agent at the Missouri
Slope Fair. s
have heard many compliments for
the county through showing such an
exhibit and also / have heard many
remarks of praises made towards the
county having such live wire as
County Agent T. x. Calnan, shows
himself to be. You are indeed forts-
nate in having county agent Of the
high caliber that this county agent
has.
No one can imagine the amount of
work that it takes to get up such an
exhibit, unless he has gone through
it himself. The amount Of publicity
such county gets, could not be OBJ
tanned in any other way so cheaply.
Such an exhibit at any fair stands
for that county as being prosper
Gus place to live and having COM
munity of boosters in it.
I hope the people of that county ap-
preciate the services the county agent
has rendered and will support him so
that he will be able to do his utmost
for the better farm conditions Of that
county. ..s

An effort is being made to get Gov.
Frazier to call a special session Of the
legislature to pass law raising the
salaries of the state officials. No one
will for minute argue that the SAL
aries of the state officials should not
be raised. They are the poorest paid,
as we'll as county officials, of any class
of labor now earning money, and they
are entitled to a raise of pay. Under
the present high cost of living the Of
icers Of the state and county are not
paid enough. But we are absolutely
against any special session at this
time. In ninety days the regular ses-
sion of the state legislature will con-
vene and can remedy the matter at
that time, so we cannot see any need
for the spending of many thouands of
dollars for special session. 1t

stances.s
