W'0RDPlCTURE0 OF
WEST IS GIVEN

Miss Margaret Mccarthy, acting
superintendent of the Training School,
gave an interesting talk in chapel
Tuesday about western United States.
''The country beyond the Rockies is
level. The soil is. sandy and Of brown
ish color. AS one looks over the
level land it appears as vast desert
broken here and there. by sand dunes
and small settlements. The soil is
rich, but requires irrigation. The
land is only irrigated along rivers and
lakes.
"As one approaches the Cascades
he finds more vegetation. A view of
the Puget Sound country shows noun
tains, trees, dashing streams, and
waterfalls. All these natural re-
sources, which make this country
beautiful, give to the region the name,
Gift Of the Gods; it is really the
gift Of American bluff, pluck, and ag-
gression. The climate is different
from that Of the Columbia Plateau

He is now head of the McGrann-
Reynolds Fruit Company, Fargo. He
has had an extensive business expert
ence and is one of the best posted men
on the grain milling business in the
state.
>He was grand councillor of the U. c..

kota jurisdiction last year during
which period the organization made
greater gain in membership than
in any previous administration.
The importance Of electing man
of varied experience and extensive
knowledge of public affairs for the
position of Lieutenant Governor can
not be over-estimated. As Lieuten-
ant Governor he will preside over the
state senate whose body may be 80
closely divided between the contending
forces in the state that the vote of the
presiding officer may decide many inn
portant questions of legislation at
times when one of the members of the
senate may be absent. He will also
be the important factor in the organ
izing of the senate committees.
A vote for John F. McGrann is a
vote for honesty, efficiency and home
rule in our state government. No one
will ever regret having voted for him
for Lieutenant Governor. 1.

OPENING OF RE-
LlCIOUS SCHOOL

The meeting Of the Valley City
Community School Of Religious Edu-
cation on Tuesday evening, for organ
ization, gave q most encouraging out
look to those interested in promoting
It. At the appointed hour for meet
ing, more people had gathered than
the number Of seats in the largest
room Of the Richie school building
would accommodate, and q number OF
chairs had to be brought in. The
spirit and enthusiasm Of those present
pointed to most satisfactory outlook
for the future of the school.
After a few remarks on the pur-
poses and plans of the school by Mr..
Switzer, who was elected by the Coun-
Gil to act as director Of the school
he introduced each member of the
faculty, and each responded giving
briefly an outline Of the work he
planned to cover, and an assignment
of work for the next meeting. The
rest of the time was taken up in the
details of enrolment, assignment Of
classes, and the securing Of text books.
Not only were there sufficient num-
Der enrolled in all classes offered to
guarantee that the classes would be
held, but new class was asked for
in Methods for Teen Age Boys and
Girls. The Bible Study classes had
the largest enrollments twenty five
being enrolled in one class. Many
more people are expected to nroll next
Tuesday night, since they can do this,
and not muss any of the real class
lessons. The school will secure larger
quarters of the Richie Building will
not accommodate them all.

The national fight for the presi-
dency appears to be about settled and
there is very little need for much
newspaper fighting along these lines.
AS the day of election draws near it
is evident that unless some unforeseen
matter hobs up to disrupt the repub-
lican party. Harding and Coolidge
are going to be elected on November
2 by a very large majority. The
trend Of public opinion is that way.
The people have become tired Of the
one man idea in national politics.
They want president who will at
least give the country chance by TAX
ing into his confidence some Of the
best men we have in the nation. That
has been Mr.. Wilson's weakness. He
has wanted, and has been, the big I
am and would not listen to advice
from anybody. That is Why the
league of nations idea as formed by
him is q failure and why the demo-
cratic party is going to be defeated.
There has been too much Wilson, too
much Burleson, too much Palmer and
too much Col. House, and too much
money spent. All these elements to-
gether with the high cost Of living
has caused the voters to get restless

We have heard lots of the much
boasted grading law which has been
Of so much untold benefit to the farm
ers. That is, we have heard the
league leaders and boosters telling us
about it and who have been pointing
it out to the farmers Of the state as
the one great outstanding asset to
them. They have told how the farm
ers have been paid back for their dock
age and this would offset their double
taxes that have been imposed upon
them by the league. The statement
Of the league money grabbers has
been allowed to drift along because
nobody gave out the cold facts. These
facts are now coming to light as the
farmer takes his grain to the elevator
to get returns and the agent gives
him back the figures. We know Of two
