Mrs. H. B. King and Mrs. Robt. An
derson of Northwood, Iowa, arrived
Tuesday night and are welcome WISH
tors at the home of their sisters Mrs.
Fred Jensen and Sarah Schulz of the
Fair Store. These good Iowa people
visited here five years ago when they
made the trip by auto. They are
pleased with our North Dakota town
and tell US crops are looking good in
Iowa, the corn crop being especially
good. As Iowa is known as the corn
king state, we won't doubt their word
a bit. But we do say this that we
hope they call again and oftener.

ITPAYS TO GET AN EDUCATION

As the time nears for the re-opening
of the city schools, many young peo-
pie will no doubt find it hard to return
to class rooms and study, and what
they deem tedious work. They may
be employed in some position which
pays them good money, easy work and
give up that daily wage and return to
school, where your money goes out
and scarcely any comes in, except
what dad" will open up his heart to
give you.
However, this is the wrong view to
take Of such an important matter. A
young man or woman should place his
or her education above anything else
at the time Of their school age, and
remember the fact that you will al
ways be able to earn the wages that
you may be getting at the present
time. but that you may not always be
able to gain a knowledge of books,
such. as now is offered-that is with
out some inconvenience to you, since
when you get we'll up in years, it may
embarrass you to attend school with
young men and young women several
years your junior.
Turning to the dictionary you will
find this definition of the word educa-
ton: ''The totality of the qualities
acquired through individual istruc-
;tion and social training, which fur
ther the happiness, efficiency, and ca
pacity for social service Of the edu-
Gated"
1t is to be hoped that the number of
young folks who have failed to COM
plete their education, which will not
re-enter school at the beginning of the
falls term will be held down to- the
minimum, and that the number of new
students registering will far exceed
the maximum of any previous year.
Valley City will be in position to
offer better things in the line of
school facilities as soon as the
new high school is completed
which we hope will not be long.
Once moved into the new quar-
tiers, and the regular routine of work
established, school life to both city and
farm lads should prove an enjoyment
instead of a monotonous routine.

j. F. T. O'Connor, .demtocratic-re-
publican candidate for governor, was
one of a family of eight raised on a
farm in Grand Forks county. He re-
ceived his common school education
in the county school district in Amer
,icus township. Later he entered the
University of North Dakota where he
graduated from the Law and Arts De-
partment in 1908. He did post grad
uate work at Yale University. After
he completed his law course in Yale
Unworthy he remained for two years
on the Yale faculty as instructor in
practice Of law in North Dakota

elected to the legislature. Although

ships, Mr.. O'Connor received major
ity Of all the votes cast in every pre-
cinct and was reelected in 1918 with
out opposition, although the nonpar-
tisan league had and still has large
membership in these townships in the
sixth district. In the legislature he
took an independent stand, considered
all measures upon their merits and
voted in accordance with his convic-
tions. He strongly opposed House Bill
AZ which virtually sought to repeal
the constitution of the state and deliv-
cred the strongest speech of the ses-
ion against that Bill. His legislative
record is the best proof of his indie
pendence Of thought and action. He
supported and voted for the terminal
elevator and flour mill, for lower rates
Of interest, for extension Of time in
which to redeem from foreclosure
sale, for lower attorney fees, for state
hail insurance, for soldiers compen-
sation, for workmen's compensation,
woman's suffrage and many other pro-
gressive measures. It is said that to
his active interest is due the credit for
the Bismarck Mandan Missouri river,
bridge. During the session Of 1919 the
minority consisting Of independent re-
publicans and democrats supported
him for speaker Of the house.
Mr.. O'Connor and his brothers are
interested in farming operations in
Grand Forks county. Two Of his
brothers live on the farm are are act:
lively engaged in farming and stock
raising. He has always been interest
ed in North Dakota and in the mar
keting problems that confront the
difficulties and problems Of the farm
ers better than most men.
