QUEST STARTS FOR
POLlTEST PERSON

The politeness sleuth is vending his
way about Valley City today.s AL
though not starting at very early
hour, we understand that before night
he expects to have his opinion formed
Of several people in the city, as re-
CARDS their politeness. 1t will be al
most impossible to "spot" him as in
his regular routine of business, he
will perhaps not be recognized. May
be he will make his selection today.
Maybe it will not be before the end
of the week, but nevertheless you can
be assured that he is out, strolling
around looking out for business, and
at the same time prepared to pick
out the person who will win the SIS
prize which is offered for the politest
person that he finds during this week.
Maybe he has just finished talking
to you. If you showed any marked
degree of politeness, that will per-
haps go down to your credit. If you
exhibit crouch, well, he has formed
his opinion Of you, and decided that
there are other people in the city who
-wGuld appreciate that SIS more than
you would, and at the same time treat
a human being with more marked
degree Of kindness.
His selection will not be limited to
age or sex. A child six years old
may win the prize, as easily as a per-
son ten times that age. So don't ex
hibt crouch simply because you
think you have no chance of winning:
and once you get those smiling fea-
lures and polite actions, cultivate
them and continue to do SO, long after
the detective is forgotten about. The
world will hike you so much the bet
ter if you do.

RATE INCREASE
. IS NOT LIKELY

Considerable controversy is ensuing
between the patrons of the Sheyenne
Valley Light and Power Co., of this
city, and the citizens of Nome, N. D.,
patrons Of the company. The Nome
Tribune has the following to say of
the meeting held in Valley City Mon
day night, at which representatives
of the patrons and company were pres
ent.
''The joint meeting of representatives
of the patrons of the Sheyenne Valley
Light & Power Co. from the various
villages held at Valley City on Mon
day night, was attended by commit
tee from this village, consisting of
Henry A. Wilberg, Olaf Rund and Dick
Pugh. Every village but Fingal was
represented. ~
* 1.-THE big feature of the meeting was
the learning that the contract enter
ed into between the village and light
company holds good. The company
seemed to be of the opinion that this
contract or franchise was of no value
and that the railroad commissioners
could and would throw it into the dis
card, but recently decision of the
state supreme court held that the con-
tracts in force were to remain, in
force and could not be changed by the
railroad commissioners.
"At the meeting Monday the man.
ager, Schmidt, attempted. to get an
agreement on the part of the repre-
sentatives to recommend change in
the terms of contract-some of them
minor, possibly-but no one would
agree to such changes.
"The company will now amend its
application to the railroad commission
ers and will attempt to get the limit
allowed by the franchise, namely 18
cents per X. w. H., an increase of
three cents for the Nome patrons. The
Tribune is in favor of fighting this
increase on the grounds that the con-
tract distinctly says that no change of
rates shall take place except at the
end of each two year period and the
end of the first two year period was
up on the 18th of June last.
"The complaint on service was
mainly from Nome and it is the opin-
ion of the Tribune that we should de-
mand better service before an increase
in rates is made.
"The president and manager of the
light company, Schmidt and 'Stee,
have agreed (throught Schmidt) to
appear before the local patrons with
in few days to present their case and
a call will very likely be put in for
their appearance very soon.

OLD LICENSE TAGS
ARESTlLL GOOD

Valley City motorists may drive
their. cars under the old 1920 license
tags without fear of arrest until the
new schedules and registration blanks
are received, according to local off,
cials wha have been asked for infor-
nation in regard to the new licenses.
A letter received from the Motor
Vehicle Registration department at
Bismarck is to the effect that the copy
for the new schedule was sent to the
printers on Dec. 29, 1920, and this;
together with the registration blanks
will be sent as soon as available.
The schedule for 1921 is different
from the 1920, schedule and the reg
istration department warns against
using the old schedule in filling out
the application blanks

MlN0T LEGION TO
PLAY HERE FRIDAY

According to telegram received
late Saturday, the Minot American
Legion team will arrive in Valley City
Friday, to try conclusions with the
local Legion quint-a game which has
been solicited for some considerable
time by the Valley City five. It is
almost certain that the game will be
a close one, as both teams have been
defeated only once thus far this sea-
son. The Minot team had one
scalp taken from their belt Friday:
when the Havre, Montana American
Legion team ddfeaA,d them by a
score of 21 to 13. They clashed again
Saturday, but, the. result&of that game
is unknown, Havre fans expressed
Legion team would take the second
game, after they had secured a rest,
as they had been riding on the train
considerable time before the first
game, and were not in very. good
form. As regards records by school
teams, Valley City and Minot COM
pare very favorably with all their
teams. The Minot High School team
lost to Kenmare recently, by score
of 19 to Is. The local High School
has the same record of only one de-
feat, while the local Normal team
has record of all victories and no
defeats. Each Legion team lost one
game and won the others by big ma
jorities. .s-... 80
The game. Friday evening, promises
to be a hummer, and local fans conf
IDENTIFY express the belief that the To-
cal Legion team will show the kind
of material they are composed of, and
come out of the smoke. of battle vic

PIN BUSTERS MAKE
GOOD AVERAGES

Valley City pin busters are rolling
up some good scores, as evidenced by
the individual and team averages
made during the past week. It had
been planned to send team to the
bowling tournament at Grand Forks:
which was held last. week, but the
proposition failed to go through, and
the team stayed at home. The aver
ages made during the past week, COM
pares very favorably with those made
by the bowlers at Grand Forks last
week land if the Valley City team
had participated, they would have
perhaps secured some Of the splendid
prizes offered: .-

Royal Robin-princely peasant,

Every race on earth would greet We,
Rendering all with one acclaim
Tribute to thy deathless fame.
Boundless empires feel thy sway
Under every sky today,
Raptured hearts within US swell,
Never while the mountains frown,
Shall the star Of Burns 60 down.

LEGION SM0THERS
FARGO K. OF E.

The Fargo X. of c. team were
smothered under by scores by the Val
lev City American Legion team Fri
day. evening at the High School gym
nasium. The final score was So to IL.
The K, C. team has been playing
strong basketball up to the game last
night, but they were either off form
or never played real game, as the
baskets were made so fast by the
American Legion team that the score
keeper nearly succumbed. The X. e.
team was clearly outplayed in every
stage of the game, the ball being in
play near the Valley City basket the
biggest part of the time. The K. G..
team started out with very strong
Ave men defense, but few long dis
tance field shots by the Legion boys
soon convinced them that they must
cover their men, no matter what part
If the floor they were on. The first
half ended 35 to 8 in favor Of the
Legion team.

Expressions of the city's confidence and appreciation of the work of the American Legion in handling the dis
 ribution of state aid to ex-service men were adopted at the last meeting or tbe Board of Aldermen as an aid to the I, organization in their fight to retain disruption control of the state funds In addition, it scored the improper and inadeouate care of disabled eX- service men, and termed ''Shamefuf the lack of proper care and treatment for our own soldiers while the atten- ton of this country has been diverted to the sufferings of people on foreign shores.'
 The resolution was presented by Alderman Ralph T. Beers and Will he forwarded to Governor Lake as means of expressing the gratitude of the City of Bridgeport to the mem bers of the local post of the American Legion for the efficient and unbiased manner in which they have admins tered in the city, the state aid fund, without recompense to themselves as an example of efficiency, self-sac- rifice and fairness"
