WHY NEWSPAPER MEN STAY
ALIVE

The Save-a-Life League, in publish
ing it's collection of figures on suicide
remarks that journalism is profess
sion the members Of which are con-
tent to let nature take it's course. Law
yers, doctors and teachers shake off
the coil, but newspaper men, and, we
assume, the clergy-are free from the
mania.
To become and remain a newspaper
man the Individual has to be cheerful
and patient. Once in the profession
he works constantly and his thoughts
are largely occupied with matters be-
yond his own fortunes. He has no
time for dangerous amount Of in
trospection. Studying millions Of
creatures he refuses to take any sin
gle creature, even himself, too seri-
ously for his own good.
Another reason why newspaper men
respect the commandments in this
particular is their intimate knowledge
of the shock, the grief and the distress
which are caused by almost every SUI
icide. Finally, there is the sense Of
duty, religious or merely ethical. SUI
icide is ''laying down. on an ASST gn-
ment-N. Y. Sun.

MISS NELSON HAS
SERIOUS OPERATION

The many friends of Miss Minnie
j. NELSON throughout the city and
state will regret to learn that she un-
derwent a serious operation on Satur-
day last in the Bismarck hospital for
the removal of tumor in her side
which was successfully performed by
DR.. Quain of Bismarck.
Miss Nelson's large circle of
friends will be pleased to know that
she stood the operation bravely and
we'll and that no complications were
found. DR.. Pray of this city had in
tended to be with Miss Nelson at this
time, but at the last moment was pre-
vented from going to Bismarck, ow-
ing to so many flu cases he had on
hand, and likewise, the fact that he
had sickness in his own family. The
Times-Record will keep it's readers in
formed as to Miss Nelson's condition.
Her mother, Mrs. Wylie Nelson and
her sister Hazel are in Bismarck.

THE VERY LITTLEST THING

Sir Oliver Lodge, who knows how to
make science popular by laying the
abstruse alongside the obvious, leads
his audiences gently toward a coneep-
tion Of the infinitely little. An atom
is so small, he tells them, that there
are fifty billion atoms of gold in
drop of sea water. No atom aloneis
visible. A group of as many atoms
as there are Americans can Just be
seen with the best microscope
Once the atom is within the ken of
the hearer Sir Oliver proceeds to the
electron. This is to the atom as the
grain of wheat is to the barn which
contains it. If you can hold both con-
ceptions at once, that of the atoms
littleness relative to visible things and
that of its greatness as compared to
the electron, you come away with
belief that an electron really might
fall through, a dinner plate without
cracking the china.
And when Sir Oliver by easy stages
has led the stumbling brain to meas
urement of the electron it is not so
hard to go further and conceive of
something about a thousand times
smaller than the atoms diminutive
tenant. This, of course>is the size of
a parlor Bolshevist's soul.-N. Y. Sun

&C. Chaffee is showing his appre-
citation Of the work of the city fire
by sending his personal
check to the department for one hum
dred dollars. The boys certainly ap-
preciate the generosity of Mr.. Chat
fee and to know that their services
are appreciated. The fire boys are. a
volunteer outfit and these gifts during
the year from these various fires Gre
ates a little fund that can be divided
up among the boys to in way COM
pensate them for their work. Valley
City has one of the most efficient vol
unteer fire departments in the state
and we want to say right here that
when the city invested in that big
ire engine it made the best invest
ment it ever went into. That engine
has paid for itself many times over in
is efficiency in stopping what might
lave been disastrous conflagrations.

THE COW BILL
Bismarck N. D.. Jan, 27, 1920.

Bismarck N. D., Jan. 27, 1920
Mr.. Editor: So very many inouir.
les are coming to this office from all
sections of the state relative to the
"cow bill'' which provides for counties
extending their credit to those who
wish to secure dairy cattle that it
seems advisable to give the provisions
of this law all possible publicity in
order that the residents Of all coun-
ties may know how to proceed in TAX
ing advantage Of the provisions of the
law in obtaining dairy cattle.
This law was not passed as an
emergency measure and therefore cam
not be put into full operation until
July 1st. The nature of the law how
ever is such. that great deal of pre-
liminary work must be done prior to
the actual purchase and delivery of
dairy cattle to those who may apply
for same. There is no question why
this preliminary work cannot be taken
care of before July 1st and thus make
it possible to do everything but actual
ly disposing of the county bonds or
warrants and purchasing the cattle
before that date
Those who wish. to secure dairy cat
tie under the provisions of this, law:
should see to it that petitions are filed
with the county auditor at an early
date. The county board upon receipt
of a petition by fifty or more residents:
of the county may adopt resolutions
indicating whether their body will,
after July 1st, authorize the issue and
sale Of bonds or warrants and the ap-
proximate amount which will be is
sued. This will serve as notice to res
idents of the county as to whether or
not it will be possible for them to Sc
cure assistance from their county It
seems advisable that action of this
kind be taken before corn planting
time in order that provisions may be
made by prospective, applicants re-
lative to putting in the required acre
age of corn as provided by the law.
Anyone wishing copy of the law
may receive same upon request to the
state dairy commissioner. And those
who seriously contemplate taking ad-
vantage of the law but who are not
thoroughly familiar with the method
of procedure in organizing their local
association should be present or ar
range to be represented at the meet
ing of the State Darymen's Associa-

ANENT THE MEET.
ING LAST NIGHT

A few citizens of Valley City es-
pecially interested in the improve
ment of the moving pictures of the
city met with Mr.. John Piller, the
manager of the Grand and Rex the
aires, in the Commercial Club room
of the City Hail last evening. The
purpose of the meeting was to discuss,
ways and means for securing the
highest possible class of pictures for
this community. Mr.. Pilier present
|Sed some, of the difficulties from his
point of view. Films, have increased:
greatly in price during the past year
or two. The finer pictures are very
much higher in price necessitating
charging higher price of admission.
This, the majority of the people seem
unwilling to pay, Judging from the
reduced attendance at such pictures.
Consequently these more expensive
films are shown at financial loss.
The inference is evident. If Valley
City is to have these better pictures,
the better pictures must be support
ed. A higher admission has not been
charged for all the higher priced pic
lures, however. Films for which in
the larger cities an admission Of soc
has been charged have been shown
here for Csc. It is only fair to, Mr..
.Piller to say also, that films for
which he has contracted that have
proved to be of an Objectionable char
acter have been ruled out by him
though at considerable financial
loss to himself.
The majority of those: present felt
that Mr.. Piller is making an effort
to secure for this city high class
films. The result of the meeting
seemed to be better understanding
Of the problems involved, a desire
for hearty cooperation upon the part
of those present in helping to secure
and support the very best class of
films in the market
The moving picture has come to
stay. It is an institution of our
modern life. 1t has great power for
good or evil. Valley City doesn't
want the kind that degrades its ideals |
or coarsens or cheapens life It wants
the best and none but the best
those that inspire, uplift, purify. This
can be secured only by the co-opera-
tion Of all the community working
together.

OUR HIGH SCHOOL,

The Board of Education have esti-
mated the additional funds necessary
to complete and equip the building
and make some $4,000 worth of repairs
on old buildings, at $120,000.OO Elec-
trio light fixtures, clocks, bells, phones,
and fire alarm apparatus; gymnasium
stage and it's attachments; and all
painting are to be figured outside of
the above contract prices. The esti-
mated cost of equipment is $4,000.
Thus it will be seen that this estimate
is conservative one.
No one should get the impression
that contractors are to be given allow
ances for increased building costs. All
jumps in prices since these contracts
were let year ago must be borne by
the contractor. The district has saved
money by letting contracts at that
time.
Also it should be said that the build
ing as it now stands does not repre-
sent the total outlay up to this point,
there being an immense amount of
building material on hand in readiness
for an early spring start, that repre-
sent part of the outlay.

FIRST N. D. TO j..
BE ORGANIZED

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 30.-Excel-
lent progress is being made with the
reorganization of the Firsst North
Dakota National Guard, the adjutant
generals Office reports. Reorganiza-
tion of Co. A, Bismarck; Co. C, Graf
ton; Co. D, Minot; Co. H, Jamestown;
Co. /, Wahpeton; Co. L, Hillsboro, and
the band and the motorized field hos
pital corps at Lisbon is already well
under way. In all of these towns the
commercial clubs are cooperating
with veterans of the old military
units in complying with the require
ments fixed by the state and national
guard acts.
Other towns which had units in the
old fighting First have been delayed
owing to the absence of officers Of the
former companies, all of whom saw
long terms of service in France, but
an abundance of. interest and enthus-
iasm has been displayed. Mandan,
Dickinson, Valley City and other
towns which have no armories under
take the erection of a. permanent
home for their national guard organ
iZations as a memorial to their he
roes Of the world war, instead of in
vesting large sums of money in mon
uments or similar memorials which
have no Giving" value. 1t is urged
that armories could be provided with
suitable inches for memorial tablets
and that they could with a trifling
additional expenditure be equipped
for club and gymnasium purposes.
1t is proposed that auxiliary civic
associations be organized in those
towns to assist the guard units in
financing their armory projects. The
state loans $4,000 for the construc-
tion of armories and also allows $500
per annum for armory rent. In a
majority of the towns the armories
poses, which produces steady rev.
enue.
Higher Pay
The national guardsman of today
will be better paid than his predeces-
sors of ante-bellum days. The new
pay schedule is Is per cent of the
amount received by the same grade
in the regular army. This applies,
however, only to companies with q
minimum enrolment of 100 members,
and with an average 60 per cent at
tendance at drill. The company must
also pass an inspection to obtain fed
eral recognition. The minimum
strength which the First must make
to gain federal recognition is 1,445
men and II officers.
There are other inducements which
will attract young men who like ar
my life. North Dakota, with South
Dakota, Wyoming, Oregon, Idaho,
Montana and Washington, compose
the 66th national guard division.
There will be annual division maneu-
vers, probably at Camp Lewis, Wash,
one of the most attractive army
posts in the country. Men will re-
ceive full pay while attending maneu-
vers and while en- route to and from
camp.
Boys who enter the national guard
at the ageof 18 and 10 may also quail
ify for admission to West Point by
passing an examination whose tests
the average boy with high school
education or it's equivalent should be
able to meet after a year or more in
the guard.
