Vi, The third annual convention OF the
State Y. M. C. A. that closed here Sun
dag was by far the best ever held in
the state. There were delegates here
from the five Student. three city and
four county associations in the state,
making 81 in ALL The meetings were
full CT good things. The convention
adopted an aggressive program for
the coming year. Five new counties
are to be organized and secretaries
placed in same; Minot will in all pro-
liabilities, either put on community
work or build an association building
this year. The past year has been
very good one for the work in North
Dakota; three counties were organized
and secretaries placed in each and
Grand Forks, which was somewhat
depleted during the war, has full
force of officers now and the work is
moving nicely. An assistant will be
nut on with the state secretary to have
charge of the educational work for
the returned soldiers, sailors and
marines; this is movement put on by
the Y. M. C. "A. whereby a member OF
,ither of these branches Of the service
will be aided by funds to complete his
course of studies either in school or
as correspondence course.

The committee of ministers of the
town and laymen from the various
churches met at the Grand Theater
yesterday afternoon at the invitation
of the manager and censored the pic
ture of the evening, "The One Wom-
an" This picture is a strong one and
the acting is the best. The story
touches on the most sacred relations
of life-the home. The tragedy de-
picted comes as the result of putting
into practice the teachings of modern
socialism and the picture carries its
own moral. The committee was thor
oughly appreciative. They found Mr..
Piller willing to do everything in his
power to help in making his theaters
high class. In justice to him this is
written by one of the committee. The
ministers and laymen meet again
Wednesday evening in the City Hall to
devise some means of securing the
best of the film world for our city:
They are glad to find the manager OF
our theaters in such hearty accord
with the idea. Much can be accomp-
lished for good when there is the spirit
Of cooperation between the manager
w. c.. LYON.

Valley City's record on fire losses is
liable to be large this year if alarms
continue to come as frequently as they
have the past few days, every one Of
these alarms was due to carelessness
and could have been prevented. In
two cases lives have been endangered,
and it was fortunate that no lives were
lost. Chief Craswell advises the
Time Record that he has ordered an
inspection of the business district to
be ne by members of the fire de-
partn:ent, within the next ten days,
and those living in the residence dis
trict sc requested and urged to in
spect their pipes and chimneys and
replace pipes that are rusted, clean up
rubbish and to be careful where they
deposit their ashes, ashes that appear
to be dead frequently contain live
Goals nd start fires. Let all cooper
ate v'.th the fire department in this
prevention work.

These fires are coming little bit
too often. Three of them within two
weeks. 1t would be a mighty good
plan for everybody to see that there
is no rubbish and loose inf1ammable
matter that would burn quickly lying
around in the basement Of their home.
Sometimes hot fire these cold days
and little carelessness often results
in disastrous fire. Play the game OF
safety first. -:
