to bark back the Yankees answer to
the Boche hymn of hate.
Through all the sanguinary engage
ments in which the 151st played such
an epic part, Collins stuck to his guns.
At Chateau Thierry, in Lorraine, at
st. Mihiel, on the Ourcq, on the Vesle
and in the tangled mazes of the bloody
Argonne he played his small part in
laying down the barrages, those great
curtains of steel that saved thousands
of good young American lives.

he had done his bit, Collins tried a
new tack.
He closed his business affairs and
started for France He had heard of
the renowned Foreign Legion, where
brave hearts count for more than large
frames.
At the headquarters of the Foreign
Legion in the shadow of the tomb of
Napoleon, Collins became private
soldier in the French army
He was at once appointed pilot of
an ambulance in the 26th Division, a
shock unit with a great fighting rec
ord. Within short time he was in
action on the Picardy front before
Saint Quentin.

Nelson Numbered Collins had his

In Paris, the future looked dark. No
one seemed to want to tell where the
151st was located. More than a month
was spent in fruitless quest. One day,
he found some members of the regi-
ment on leave. They whispered the
name of the town. 1t was Coetquidan.
"a first class fighting man wants a
job with first class fighting unit"
Collins told Colonel Leach.
First class fighting men are Just
what we need" answered the C. o.
The examining officer, Captain John
Rosenwald, who later died gloriously
in battle, was perhaps little careless
about ascertaining Collins weight and
height Anyway, before night, he was

The legal department of the state
is a most important one. The Attor-
ney General. in addition to being the
chief law officer of the state is a
member Of numerous boards and has
duties involving the exercise of un-
usual skill and ability. All the many
legal complications of the states af-
fairs are referred to him. Each de-
partment demands a portion of his
time. Through his activities millions
of dollars that would be otherwise
lost are annually turned into the
treasury It is of the utmost import
.ance that the Attorney General be a
man well qualified to protect the
states interests In Clifford l., Hill

MILLION DOLLAR
BAND PLEASES

The Million Dollar Band, under the
excellent leadership Of Harold Bach
man, gave the second recital of that
famous organization in the city last
evening. The concert was originally
billed to be given at the Chautauqua
a :ditorium, but was later in the day
called off and changed to the Normal
auditorium, due to the almost steady
down pour of rain which greeted Me-
mortal Day. The band was brought
here under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Legion. No record breaking
crowd was on hand to greet the or
ganization, but it was a good sized
crowd, taking all the drawbacks which
resulted, into consideration. 1t was
noticed by those who heard this band
when they gave their first concert
here, that the boys have invested in
new uniforms. changing from the
khaki uniform of the United States
army to dark blue plain uniform,
very neat and striking in contrast.
Several of the pieces played by the
band and several individual present.
ments were received with much pleas
ure by the audience and repeatedly
encored.
One selection which made a big hit
was king Carneval,' cornet solo,
played by Robert Bruce. an Indian,
especially we'll known for his skill in
handling this instrument. Mr.. Bruce
was repeatedly encored. Another Sc
lection we'll received by the audience
was the violin solo, by Erling Soldahl.
accompanied by Walter Klingman on
the piano. Mr.. Soldahl was called
back after the first selection and rem
dered another very pleasant solo. A
soprano solo wss given by Francis
Wolfe, with Waiter klingman as ac-
compartment. This was a very pleas
ant selection and was much appre-
ciated by the audience. Another num-
ber which made big hit was march
"Our Colonel" conducted by the COM
poser, James E. Son, and dedicated to
Colonel Frank White of Valley City.
This was master piece and was
especially we'll presented Mr.. Bach
man in speaking Of this selection, said
that the band had played the piece
for Colonel White as a soldier, and
was going to play it for Frank White
as civilian, and next year the band
hoped to play it for United States
Senator Frank White. The evenings
program ended with the playing Of
the Star Spangled Banner.
This band is becoming we'll known
all over the country, and has advance
dates booked for weeks in advance.
Valley City is especially fortunate in
being able to hear this wonderful
musical organization, and the Ameri-
can Legion is to be thanked for their
efforts and time expended in bringing
the band here. The band will play
in Fargo today and tomorrow.

LIVESTOCK
EXCURSION

The Barnes County Livestock As
sociation has planned on a livestock
automobile excursion to the Baldwin
farms at Glendale, Dickey County.
The Baldwin people have eight we'll
equipped farms with 600 to 700 head
of registered Angus and Shorthorns.
In the event that any farmers wish
to purchase any of those breeds, they
would find that Mr.. Hoke, the man.
ager of these farms is very reasonable
in his price, as they are overstocked.
The plan of the trip is as follows:
Leave Valley City at p. m. June 4th;
Leave Hastings at p. M, June 4th-
the farmers in the southern
part Of the county can meet
at Hastings. From Hastings
the party will go to Marion, Barnes
county to see the Ardusers Red Polled
herd and number of other herds en-
route to Oakes. The Oakes CONNER
cial Club and the Dickey County
Breeders Association have arranged
for a reception in the evening. On the
5th of June the Baldwin farms will be
visited, and return home on that day.
This trip should be both profitable and
educational. Lets boost our Live
stock in the county, by getting the
viewpoint and idea of the other fell

TIRE CONSERVATION
DAY SUCCESS

Messrs. Riggs and Beguhn, repre-
senting the Goodrich Tire Company,
were here Saturday conducting what
is termed conservation of tire de-
monstration at Barney Sullivan's
Tire Hospital. There were many
users of tires present during the day
and Mr.. Sullivan is we'll pleased at the
results of the demonstration. Mr..
Sullivan put on a guessing contest
during the day giving prizes to the
person making the nearest guess on
the weight and number of plies of cord
in the big pneumatic truck tire on dis
play. There were $50 guesses on this
tire proposition and Gordon Corby.
employed by Ferguson Brothers, was
the winner, guessing the number of
plies of cords and the weight to a
dot, 16 plies of cord and weighing 225
pounds. Mr.. Ben Johnson, employed
at G. H. Carpenter Lumber Yard was
next in the line Of correct guessing.
his guess being Is plies of cord and
225 pounds.
The size of this tire was 44x10.
Goodyear Cord, costing $444.65 for the
tire and tube. The mileage record for
this size tire is $4,000 miles. Mr.. Sui
livan is greatly pleased at the success
OF this conservation demonstration
anc also on his guessing contest.

SELF EDUCATION.
IS The OBJECT

Requests from the Virgin Islands
for aid in self-education have set in
motion the machinery for establishing
public libraries in the newest island
possessions of the United States. One
request came from resident of the
islandof St. Thomas to DR.. Lyman
Abbott, who referred it at once to the
American Library Association. An
other was the plea of an eighth-grade
school boy at Charlotte Amalie, st.
Thomas, for books which he said he
needed to read in order to enter pro-
posed junior high school in the teach
ers' branch.
twenty-five suitable books were
sent by the American Library Asso-
citation to Charlotte Amalie with the
request that they be made available
first for the school boy, and the A. L.
A. set out to investigate the library
needs of the Virgin Islands and other
outlying territories. AS result of
it's inquiry, the American Library As
sociation has incorporated in it's
Books for Everybody" movement
promotion of library service in all the
insular and territorial possessions of
the United States.
The Virgin Islands, Philippine and
Hawaiian groups, Panama Canal Zone
and the territory of Alaska have very
limited library service and offer a
field for library extension equalled
only by several states which have IL
braries for less than five per cent of
population. Alaska already is being
organized for the "Books for Every
bidy'' movement under the direction
Of Mrs. F. A. Metcalf, Of Juneau.
The program Of the American Lii
brary Association for promoting IL
brary> extension will benefit the entire
United >States, which now has library
service for less than fifty per cent of
the population. To carry on the work,
fund of $2,0O0,000 is now being rails
ed by librarians, library trustees and
friends of libraries.
