ANNOUNCEMENT

The Barnes County Chapter of the
American Red Cross has engaged the
exclusive service of Miss Canning,
effective immediately, as an emerg-
ency measure against the possibility
Of flu epidemic. Her services will
be at the disposal of all practicing
physicians in the county and others in
need and she will be ready to go to any
part of the county. 1t is not intended
that she will remain long with any
one patient, for this would defeat the
purpose of her engagement, which is
to cover as many cases as possible and
to give professional advice to those
in charge of the sick. In this way it
is thought that the nlartality will be
greatly reduced, and the spread Of the
contagion diminished.
Her time and travelling expenses
will be entirely at the expense of the
Red Cross during the term of her en-
gagernelot and no question will be ask
ed whether the afflicted is member
of the Red Cross or not.
Doctors and others in need Of Miss
Canning's services should communi-
cate by phone or otherwise, with the
office of the Chapter in the basement
of the post Office building, phone 568.

son, show manager, said today, "that
the show will have the largest at

this year is very great, Judging from
the letters that are coming in asking
for information relative to the show.
We expect that the daily attendance
will be double that of last year"
For the last night of the show Mr..
Wilson has arranged for vaudeville
which will be followed by dance.
The dance is scheduled to start about
10 o'clock. 1t is the plan of the

REPUBLICANS WILL
HOLD CONVENTION

'To all loyal Republicans OF North
Dakota:
"In view Of the fact that the call
for mass Republican convention,
called to be held at Bismarck, Janu-
ary 28th, 1920, does not specify any
qualification for persons taking part
therein, nor is any basis of represen-
tation for the several counties provld-
ed for thereby, and III as much as the
fixing of such provisions by any call
for convention, is absolutely essen
tial to the insuring of proper and
fair representation thereat; and Tor
the further reasons, that such call
was prepared and submitted to Mr:
Gunder Olson, Republican National
Committeeman for North Dakota, by
by persons who in taking such steps
were actively in league with A. 9.
Townley; that at the time the said call
was issued Mr.. Gunder Olson was ser
iously ill and in no condition to have
given the matter the serious consid-
Grafton merited; that he signed the
same, undoubtedly in the belief that
such call was regular and complete as
to all requirements; with that Mr.. o.
son is still seriously i'll and we are un-
able to consult or to see him regard
ing the revision or resembling of such
call, on account of his physical condit-
ion; that under such call as made, no
representative Republican Convention
could be held at Bismarck, and any
convention attempted to be so held
there under the call as made, could re-
suit only in gathering to be~domin-
ated by believers in Townieyism and
Socialism, calling themselves Repub-

therein: ...., sa
THEREFORE,, we, the undersigned
Republican electors of North Dakota,
who are opposed to Townleyism and
to Socialist rule in our State and Ma

City of Bismarck on the 18th day Of

UNION MEETING
SUNDAY NIGHT

A union meeting of the M. E. and
Congregational churches was held in
the latter church last night several
hundred people being present to hear
the speaker of the evening, Mr.. NJ H.
Bickham, who, had charge Of the
Great Lakes training station during
the war. Mr.. /Bickham was also in
France and was able to give very
fine address on Christian Democracy.
Mr.. Bickham gave review of the
growth of world democracy from CEN
turies back up to the present time and
also gave most glowing account of
the work done by the United States
soldiers in the big war which has been
such big factor in the making the
world safe for democracy. It was a
great address and was much enjoyed
by the large audience present last
nighe. Prior to the address Rev. W.
C. Lyon made a short but very en-
phatic talk on the moving picture stu
alton and started something which re-
suited in an open forum at the end of
Mr.. Bickham's address and resulted
| in the appointment Of a committee to
| look into this matter and take steps to
regulate and control this matter.

NEED MORE MONEY
TO BUILD SCHOOL

The city board of education have
directed their clerks to call an election
on February 18th for the purpose of
authorizing bonds to complete and
equip the new high school building.
When building plans were begun
last year it was legally possible to
raise but $91, 900, where more than
100000 were needed. At first it was
thought that by limiting the construc-
tion to the most indispensable needs
the amount raised would answer the
immediate requirements. However,
as up to the minute building facts be-
came better known it became appar-
ent that any attempt at construction
with the amount that had been raised
would be only parsimonious skimping
or PARTON construction.
The need for more school room was
so pressing and delay was SO sure to
mean mounting increases in building
costs, that it was decided to let con-
tracts Immediately, these to be COM
pleted when the board was able to
raise more funds. It is now possible
TO bond for the additional funds nee
essary, when such bonding is author
lied by vote Of the people. Hence
the election referred to.
1t is assumed that all who appre-
ciate the value Of good schools will
get behind this responsibility right
from the take-off. It is hard to con-
ceive Of any such thing as opposition
but mere apathy is dangerous. In
public affairs there is but one means
Of improvement and that is through
positive aggressibe efforts on behalf
ofthose who care for better environ
ment. Let's talk UP this question and
put ourselves clearly on record for
the best in the education of our child

Y. M C "A. STATE
CONVENTION

Yesterday was the opening session
of the state convention of this organ
ization. On account of the lateness Of
the trains the delegates were slow in
assembling. The delegates were cor
daily greeted by Mayor Moe who
heartily welcomed them to the city,
after which the work of the day pro-
ceeded and the regular program was
carried out. There were about fifty
delegates present yesterday from var
ious parts of the state, men who have
been prominent in Y. NJ C. A. work
in North Dakota In the evening a
banquet was served in the basement
of the Swedish Lutheran church to a
large number Of delegates and bust
ness men of this city. As is usual when
the ladies of this church undertake to
serve banquet, it was done in A No..
/ shape. It was :: real meal, consist
ing of salads, cocktail, roast turkey
and all the trimmings that go with
this kind of dinner and what is more,
there was no stint to the amount, and
if anybody went away with any feel
ing of appetite unsatisfed it was their
own fault-there was lots of it for
the asking, but then it was not neces-
sary to ask because the ladies heaped
up those big dinner plates right from
the start. There was no chance Of go
ing hungry last night. The dinner
was nicely served. We want to say
that one of the real enjoyments OF
this banquet was the singing of Prof.
J. B. Myers. That old scout was what
we might call, in fine voice last night
and he pleased the outsiders immense
ly by his fine singing and his encores
were hearty and sincere and he hap
PLY responded. Mr.. Meyers is a great
entertainer, generous in his gifts OF
song, and always sends his hearers
away well pleased. Following the
BANQUET came several good speeches
by Walter Stockwell, Rev. w. c. ] ,yon
and Mr.. Knebel, all of them full Of
good thought. Today the program
outlined for the convention is being
carried out.

COMP ANY G TO BE
RE0RCANlZED

A special meeting of the CONNER
cial Club was held last night in the
club rooms to talk over the PROPOSE
tion of the reorganization of Company
G. The general sentiment of those
present was that Valley City and
Barnes county needs that organization
and motion was made and carried to
the effect that the business men of the
city go on record as wanting this Or
ganization and asking the adjutant
general to lend his efforts in our be-
half. Under the new ruling of the
war department it requires an enlist
ment of one hundred men before the
company can be organized. 1t is not
anticipated that this will be very
hard to get as we believe there are
many young men who will be- glad to
Join this company which has such a
good record behind it. Major Ritchie,
we are informed, can go ahead and
organize under the rules and condi-
tions laid out, and he will probably go
ahead. One of the demands required
by the state adjutant general is a
proper place to house and take care of
the company. The mayor and city
council have taken steps to give the
company temporary quarters until a
suitable armory can be built, and the
city has offered the north room up
stairs Of the city hall building for a
drill room and another room for a
property room, which will nicely take
care of the needs Of the company un-
til that new community or memorial
hall is built when regular drill room
or armory will be provided in it for
that purpose. The general sentiment
as expressed by all those present last
night was to the effect that Valley
City would be foolish to let some 9th
er town get this company away from
us-a company that has been here for
over thirty years and one which stood
at the top of the national guard in
this state. A petition will be pre-
sented to the business men to sign
to send to the adjutant general to
show that Valley City will be behind
the boys-sign it and show that you
are with the project. gj. F..

l.V. ELECTS
THREE DELEGATES

The Valley City unit l. V. A. held a
very interesting and enthusiastic ses-
sion last night in the commercial club
rooms to elect three delegates to the
state convention which is to be held
at Grand Forks February 5 and 6.
There was a large attendance and the
meeting was in the nature of an in
formal social event more than po-
litical meeting. The door was wide
open and everybody opposed to Town
leyism was invited to be present and
there was good crowd and splendid
meeting. Tnere was no sentinel at the
door to look for passports neither was
there any censor to do the thinking
for those present or to in any manner
curtail the thoughts of those gather
cred. Many gave their ideas and it
was the general opinion that those
who went to Grand Forks should do
the best they knew how to combat
Townleyism by helping to nominate
such men and favor such platform as
would be for the best interests of all
the people Of the state. The meeting
also went on record very strongly as

opments in that convention. The del

ON MAKING VIOLINS

It is said that Gladstone, the Eng
lish statesman, remarked that making
violin required, more thought and
study than the making OF. locomo-
tive. -t,
"This is rather difficult matter to
Judge empirically," thinks Mischa Ell
man, the great Russian violinist who
is to appear at Fargo at the Orpheun,
theater on Wednesday evening, Jan
%. "But two facts that do stand out
are, there always has been and is a
mystery in the secret of tone in vio-
lin. while there is no mystery in the
ability Of motion in locomotive. It
is interesting to know that the first
violin was made by an Italian, Andres
Amati, about $50 years before the first
locomotive was built in England by
Stevenson. That head start may ex-
plain something.
