record and lastly it went overseas to
form a part of the greatest army the
world has ever known to. help save the
world from despotism and militarism:
It has a glorious record behind it and
if we re-establish it, it will have a
great future before it. The people Of
Barnes county and Valley City cannot
afford to let this military organization
get away from US. We need it here
and we need it here for the good it will
do in the future. We are proud of old
Company G and it's fine, bunch Of SOL
der boys and we urge every citizen
who possibly can to go out tomorrow
night and lend their aid and influence
in getting this organization re-estab-
lished. No finer company of men ever
wore the uniform of the United States
government than did that company
which, on that memorable night in 1917
marched down Fifth avenue to entrain
for unknown fields of service In the
great war. We can see in our mind
eve that company as it left that night
Splendidly differed, finely manned by
soldiers of the best type and while
many eyes were wet with the tears OF
those whose sons were going away to
war, they were also tears Of pride
mingled with the cheers of thousands
of proud citizens that this county
this city, was furnishing unit OF the
big army of the world that was equal
to any in the service. We say we
should retain this company and II we
want to do this let US gather tomor-
row night and voice our sentiments,
put our shoulders to the wheel and get
Company G back again-we are go,
ing to have one of the finest drill
rooms in the state when we get this
new community building and fine
place to house the company.
Tramp, tramp, tramp the boys are
marching. Hip, hip, one, two, three,
four. Come on boys let's go.
A new bond issue is being called for
by the school board to get more mon
ey to complete the new schoolhouse
now in course of construction. We be-
lieve that one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars is being asked for,
these bonds to run twenty years at
four per- cent. If there is any one
thing that we should be willing to dig
up our money for it is for educational
purposes and the Times Record is 60
ing on record right off the bat asking
the voters of Valley City to sustain
the board and give it vote of conf
dence at the election and put the bonds
over with hurrah. We need that
school and we know Of no way Of pay
ing taxes for better purposes than by
providing for the education of the chill
dren. When the new schoolhouse was
first contemplated it was expected the
building could be built with half the
money that is now needed. The board
has been up against mounting prices
along all lines of building mater
ial until today it requires double the
amount to build this building. 1t will
require lot Of money to furnish and
equip the building but it must be pro-
vided for and it is up to the tax pay
ers to provide the funds. When this
building is completed we will have a
high school second to none in the state
and. one that will fill the needs Of the
city for many years to come. These
bonds will run for twenty years SO
that the amount each year to each
tax payer will not be large and the
money spent for the education If the
children is one of the best investments
that can possibly be made by anyone.
We are strong to put over this bond
issue.
The real republicans Of the state
have issued call for convention to
be held at Bismarck, February IT, for
a state wide convention to elect dele
gates to the national republican cen
vention and to place in nomination
presidential electors to be voted for
in March at the presidential primar-
les. The call is signed by several real
republican members of the state CEN
trail committee and provides for eau
cuses and the representation each
county should have. Barnes county
will be entitled to fifteen delegates in
held at the court house in this city at
2 in the afternoon of February 10 to
elect fifteen delegates to this conven-
ton. The Barnes county republican
committee is in the hands of the
league leaders and naturally the real
republicans will get no help from this
quarter as it is generally thought
that the call issued by Gunder Olson
for convention to be held on the 28tt
of January is only a move to help
Townley keep control Of the state and
is deal in which Alex Mckenzie, jim
Shea, Senator McCumber and other
gangsters are forming coalition with
Townley for political purposes. We
| want no such doings as this. The
real need of the hour is for the rea:
| republicans of the state to get togeth.
