Service men of Barnes county last
night perfected an organization boost
ing Frank White for U. S. Senator.
These men believe that Frank White
should be elected. Not only because of
his sterling qualities of mind and
heart but because he is a service man
who understands the needs of the ser
vice men. He will be supported by
these men for they believe that a
service man can safeguard their in
terests at Washington. There is no
question but that many problems re-
lative to the service man will come
up in Congress for years in the fu-
ture and Frank White, who served
his country with honor in the Philip
pines during the Spanish-A American
war and in France during the World
War, is the man whom these men are
going to tie to. The service man de-
serves recognition and White can help
them solve their problems.

David S. Wilcox, of Bismarck, N.
D., Senator Hiram Johnson's mana
ger in North Dakota, writes to us that
Mr.. Johnson is to be nominated on
thefifth and sixth ballot at Chicago
next week. That is certainly very nice
for Mr.. Johnson, if it were a fact.
But we also have received notice that
Gov. ,Lowden, of Illinois, is to be
nominated on the sixth ballot. Then
Gen. Wood has a bunch that the NOM
nation is going to him before the
fifth ballot and there are several 9TH
ers who feel the same way. Looking
at it from a long distance range it
would seem that the nomination of
candidate for president on the repub-
lican ticket is hard guess. None Of
the favorites will be able to muster
enough votes to insure a nomination
on the start and then will come the
trading with prospect that Hoover
or some other fellow will evnetually
carry off the coveted nomination. No
matter who the candidate is, he will
be the next president Of the United
States if he lives to qualify next
March.

Col. Frank White was at Bismarck
yesterday in the interests of his cam

encouraged over the way his candi-

of Rev. w. C. Lyon, having charge of
the funeral. Mrs. Knute Froysaa and

The floral offerings were very beauti-
full. The remains were laid to rest in

Valley City High school and also of
the Normal school and married Miss
Longfellow, a sister Of Mrs. H. M.

Mrs. M. M. White, Of this city. He

those who have been thus bereaved is

PREPARATION FOR
TEACHING DESIRED
(By Agnes SkurdallD

Never before in the history of man.
kind has there been such an unrest IN
the teaching profession. What is the
reason for this, we ask? The an
swer is simple. The American people
have come to realize that the teach
ing profession is not what it should
be. We are sending out teachers who
are not. qualified to teach our young
Americans. Statistics show that there
are more than four thousand children
today, who are being taught by teach
ers less than twenty-one years of age,
with little or no high school training,
and with no professional preparation:
l call to mind an instance which l
know of myself. She was bright
young girl of seventeen years, who
had lived practically all her life in the
backwoods of Minnesota, attending
the rural school a few months each
winter. When she was in the sixth
grade her family moved to small
town in North Dakota. Here she at
tended school until she had finished
the eighth grade. Then she DECIDED
she wanted to teach. SO she TOOK d
short course in a normal school and
went out to teach. Was she prepared
to teach? Would you want her to
teach your children? I can we'll hear
your indignant answer, NO. But still
we have thousands and thousands
of such teachers scattered through
out our country; and we are al,
lowing such teachers or so called
teachers to teach our children.
Educated citizenship is a vital thing
to the life Of democracy and without
it, democracy can not live. 1t is the
teacher who holds the future OF this
great democracy in her hand.
It depends upon her ability to teach
her training, whether this great. de-
mocracy shall live or die. Teachers
and prospective teachers who enter
into this field of profession must be
trained teachers, with full knowledge
of their duty to the child and to the
nation; and not only this alone but
also we must enter with love and
eagerness for this most wonderful and
magnificent work-"The making OF
young Americans"

The fast Page base ball team will
play on the local grounds here tomor-
row (Tuesday) afternoon at $3.50. This
team has defeated several Of the fast
tams around the state including Aneta
which has great reputation. On
Wednesday of this week McHenry
comes here to play and that town has
a live team. On Thursday the local
team goes to Jamestown to play the
team of that city and we expect this
will be real game from start to fin
ish. Manager Sampson has gotten
together a dandy team, is putting in
a lot of time trying to give our people
the best there is in base ball, and we
want to tell the world that J. H.
Sampson is as square as die with
everybody and if he cannot get results
there is no one in this village that can.

The garbage collector through the
board of health inserted notice in
this paper recently wherein it was
stated that cans, bottles and other
like refuse could not be placed in the
garbage cans for collection. This has
created quite a little talk among the
housewives who have a reasonable
kick coming. If they cannot put tin
cans, pickle bottles and things Of this
kind in their garbage cans what in
the world is the use of a collector.
The only thing left for them to put in
the garbage cans is their withered cut
flowers and we cannot afford to pay a
garbage man for that only. However,
that was not what was meant by that
notice. Some people have been ex-
pecting the garbage man to do their
draying for them-piling the can full
of ashes, stove pipe, old bed springs
and other junk entirely out of his line
of workand which properly belongs to
the draymen. Be reasonable and you
will have no trouble with the garbage
man.

The game between the Winnipeg
Giants and the Valley City base ball
teams will be played as scheduled at
$50 this afternoon, the manage
ment Of the association announced
this morning. A good game is as
sured as both sides have got strong
array of swatters. If we would have
had Babe Ruth for pinch hitter last
Tuesday the final score would have
probably shown up about three or four
points bigger for Valley. Ruth plays
with the New York team and has
total of fifteen home runs to his Gre
dit so far this year.

convention will not be composed of all
addresses as all work and no play
would make the merchant ''crabby"
