They decided to have another sale
day during the last week Of August
the date to be named by the sale COM
mittee. The secretary was instructed
to confer with the Commercial Club
officers and try and arrange for the
lecture and pictures as put on by the
National Cash Register Co. President
Stern in brief address outlined what
he thought the club should stand for:
and urged the business men of the city
to do more advertising and put Valley
City on the map as trade center. He
also stated the club should back up
all civic movements and make it their
business to work for a greater and
better Valley City. Several of the
members expressed the same views
and a motion was carried empowering
the president to appoint committees
at any time to cooperate with the
state, county and city in putting over
any progressive movement The meet
ing was fairly we'll attended and it de-
veloped a very fine business and CIVIC
spirit which if followed up will mean
much to the advancement and upbuild-
ing of our city.

R0ZELLA BRUINS
WINS CONTEST

A very interesting township calf
feeding contest has just lately been
concluded in Noltimier Township with
Miss Rozefla Bruins the winner. Her
prize is a pure-bred Holstein calf,
valued at 5000 and donated by DR.. Van
Hcuten. The contest was staged un-
der the direction of Professor Schroed-
er, principal Of the Noltimier Consol-,,
idated School. Eleven pupils entered
the contest and seven finished. The
idea in the contest was to secure. most
weight at, least cost. Miss Bruins
calf showed a gain of 85 pounds at
the end of the month. The rations
were hay, milk: ground feed and some
calf meal. Geneva Bruins was second
in the contest with gain for her calf
Of 81.5 pounds. No prize was given
for second place. The prize for first
place, was choice of one Of three Of
doctors calves.
DR.. Van Houten made this calf
feeding contest offer to quite num-
ber of the other schools in the county.
but Noltimier was the only school that
responded. A calf that is valued at
$4,000 is certainly a prize worth
while and speaks well for the gener-
osity Of the doctor and Of his interest
in his community. We are glad to see
a girl win in this contest for it shows
that girls can be just as good "agri-
culturists" as the boys. Contests OF
this kind are. certainly worth while
and it is hoped that other enterprising
men of the community will follow the
doctors example.

WHY Z THE RECALL
WILL WIN this FALL

@ Indicative of the spirit among the
Independent recall workers is letter
received at the state headquarters in
Fargo this week from j. T. Nelson, of
Glen Ullin, one of the oldest settlers
in Morton county. Headquarters ask
ed Mr.. Nelson some time ago to look
after the circulation Of recall petitions
in some parts Of the Slope country
where the local organizations were
slow in getting under way. Mr.. Mel
son set about doing the work and tre
returns registered at Headquarters
proved that he was successful. In or
der to help pay the necessary expenses
the headquarters sent him a check for
$3.50. This check Mr.. Nelson re-
turns to headquarters with the fol-
lowing explanation: .
"Your favor of Aug. 13 with check
for $3.50 received. l herewith re-
turn check. I we'll realize how the
treasury is. l do not expect to get
paid for every move l make to get
signatures. l am deeply interested:
yes fully as much as any one in the
state, in redeeming our state and get
back to the "Old Day." I have had
enough of the "New Day" and will be
glad to do my bit in the future.
II certainly need every dollar ! can
make as am up against it right this
fall. l have not been so hard up for
thirty-fve years. It is fierce when you
as sixty-four years young" I have
some money standing out from the
time l was in business. but not dol
lar can be collected on account OF the
several years of poor crops"
Mr.. Nelson further reports that the
women in the southwest corner OF
the state are beginning to take a great
deal of interest in the recall campaign
He says:
II have worked hard t6 get women
interested in circulating petitions as
too many of our good fellows simply
lay down, and I am glad to say that
in almost every town and rural dis
trict have got the women to take
hold of things. Even Hebron, with
sixty per cent voting for the red flag
have women in the field. / am look
ing for good results from the women"

BUILDING ACTIVITIES
BEING RESUMED

The lumber business has finally ad-
justed itself to a uniformity of prices
which is plainly shown by the increase
in building activities in the city lately
According to the Carpenter Lumber
Company Of this city they have sold
during the last few days, material fol
modern home for Martin Nicholson
on First street, which is already un-
der construction; material for mod
ern cottage to be erected next week
for l. j. Moe on Ninth avenue, and the
material for the fine Music Conserva-
tory of the Catholic church. Besides
these there are several other people
contemplating on building modern
home this fall and we expect to see
more new buildings being erected
within the next few weeks. The erec-
tion of new houses in the city will GER
tainly improve housing conditions in
the city which have not been the best
for some time Many Of our citizens
have had to move to hotels at times
because Of the fact that they had no
place to go when their time Of rent
was up at one house.

GAS EXPLOSION IN
FORD BUILDING

We omitted to mention in yester-
days issue that the fire department
was called out Saturday evening to
what was threatened to be a very dan
gerous fire at the Embertson & West
building. .
It seems that gas tank filled with
gas that was used to wash motors
was standing near a post which was
lined with electric wires. It is be-
lieved that short in one of these
wires touched the large tank Of gas
off, and the result was that there was
a wild bunch Of mechanics around the
upstairs of Embertson & Vests for a
while. A few Of them kept their head
however, and threw a wet blanket
over the tank which stopped it from
getting air and it soon died down
Much credit is due these boys for
their timely work in getting the
flames out as it had already started
to burn the roof. It was not neces-
sary for the fire department to bring
on any Of their apparatus, although
they stood by and were ready for any
unexpected explosion.

ANNUAL MEETING
TOWN CRlERS

The annual meeting of the Valley
City Town Criers Club was held last
evening at the Hotel Rudolf. A light
banquet was first enjoyed after which
the annual election and other buiness
matters taken up. After the inner
man had been cared for, Mr.. E. G..
Wanner of Bismarck was introduced.
Mr.. Wanner is now advertising man
ager and field worker for the North
Dakota State Good Roads Association
and gave a ten minute talk on good
roads. Mr.. Wanner is an easy talker
and impressed upon his hearers the
necessity of Valley City getting back
of this movement.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
President-Herman Stern.
Vice Presidential. E. Taylor.
Treasurer-Karl J. Olson.
Secretary-I. J. Moe.

RECEPTION GIVEN
THE new PASTOR

It was momentous occasion for the
members of the Swedish Lutheran
congregation when they assembled
last Friday evening in their church to
meet and welcome into the congrega-
tion their new pastor, Rev. 0. N.
Bloom and family from Round Rock:
Texas. Rev. Bloom and family had
been invited out on sight seeing trip.
about the city and in coming to the
church they found the members of the
congregation and friends assembled
there and were invited in to join them.
Mr.. H. P. Holm in his usual happy
manner and in we'll chosen words ex-
planned the nature Of the gathering
and in behalf of those assembled, ex-
tended to the pastor and his family
a hearty welcome and presented him
with bank check for $500 to show in
way their appreciation and gratitude
to Rev. Bloom for accepting this call
and coming such long distance to-
take charge of the work here in Valley
City. When they realized the sacri-
flee he and his family made in leaving
the large and splendid congregation
which had been their home for so
many years in the sunny south.
Rev. and Mrs. Bloom responded
very feelingly and thanked the congre-
cation and friends for the splendid
gift, and the sentiment that prompted
the givers. They were happy to be in
Valley City, and to take charge of the
church work here and be of help to the
community as we'll.
The evening was spent with music
and conversation, and getting ac-
quainted with the new pastors fam
lily. Delectable refreshments were
served during the evening. Those who
were present that evening felt that the
Swedish Lutheran congregation and
Valley City were to be congratulated
upon the good fortune to have such a
splendid family become residents of
our city. It was an occasion not to
be soon forgotten and all those pres
ent had spent most enjoyable eve
ming. .>,.-

WORDS FROM
ASTRANCER

We do not know who George j.
Kelly is, but here is a letter received
by the Times Record from him:
Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. II, 1921.
Dear Sir: I want to thank and con-
gratulate your hospital on what they
have done for me. I was taken sick
at work in the harvest field, / quit
and came to town. to see DR.. Moore
He sent me out to the county hospital
where was cured. l am at this writ
ing on a farm ready to go to work
threshing and I am going to pay your
hospital the bill owe them which is
s12. But what I want to say is |
have travelled over this country and
four European countries, but I never
could go to hospital unless had
the money before hand. That is more
than they would do any place else in
the Union. And / want to thank the
Mayor for his sand on free speech.

STOCK SWINDLER IS
N. D. BOND AGENT

How the North Dakota Industrial
commission pays its agents as high as
$3.50 week in straight salary for
trying to sell state bonds and how an
other agent, who is handling the finan-
clal end of the bond drive from Chi
cago, has been arrested by the federal
authorities for stock swindling is told
in the current issue of Commercial
West. In an article headed "Page j.
Rufus Wallingford" this journal says:
"In another part Of this number of
the Commercial West in statement
of money expended in efforts to make
sales Of North Dakota's notorious
bonds. So far according to this state
ment more than $4,000 have been
spent in campaign, the result of
which have not been made public. In
looking over the class of lieutenants
employed by the North Dakota Satate
Industrial Commission, the names of
such socialists as Carl E. Thompson
Margaret Haley, George M. Webb and
others are found, and apparently these
Industrious workers have been liber-
ally paid from the North Dakota tax
payers money through checks drawn
on the Bank of North Dakota. Eff
cient bond statesmen should be reward
ed for their services, even if North
Dakota school teahcers wait for their
pay. We find one James E.. Johnson
on the salary roll at $3.50 per week.
"We also find the name of Walter
L. Morrison of Chicago through whom
most Of the salary payments in Chi
cago were made. 1t is interesting to
note in this connection that on July
21 Walter L. Morrison of 122 South
Michigan avenue, stock broker, was
arrested by United States deputy
marshal, on complaint Of government
agents that he was one who was about
to illegally transfer $4,000, 900 in stock
of an Arizona corporation known as
the American Fireproofing and Mining
Company. In the raid made, the
deputy marshal confiscated about
$1,500,000 in stock. -
"It certainly is creditable to the
governor of North Dakota, the state
examiner and others comprising the
industrial commission that employs
statesmen for North Dakota bonds that
they have such fine aggregation to
represent that glorious state in it's
fiscal transactions.
"It appears that the bursting of the
North Dakota bubble is not far dis
tant. Of course final struggle will
be made to prevent collapse, but it is
certain to come. s

ARE LEAGUE LEADERS
GOING TO RESIGN !?

! impossible to carry forward the
| league program.
Ifftne governor and Mr.. Lemke and
Mr. Hagan will issue such a state
ment as the New Republic suggests it
Will4be impossible for the opposition
to camouhage the issues. The indus
trial commission could do nothing in
Office, if the I. v. A. laws are ap-
proved. Many l. ". AS are chortling
bin advance over what they conceive
the governors predicament will be
when he is retained in Office, but with
his hands tied by the l. V. A. laws.
But il the l. VA carry their laws;
they. themselves should be compelled
to shoulder the burden of restoring
order out of the wreckage they are
creating" tE ..5.. ~
/ Independent State Headquarters do
not seem much concerned about these
rumors. When asked what the Inde-
pendents would probably do in the
event Frazier, Lemke and Hagan re-
signed before the election, Theo. G.
Nelson, manager of the Independent
headquarters replied, eve do not care
in what direction these fellows run
We have them in a corner now and
they will either have to get out or be
taken out. There is no danger that
Frazier will find himself governor aft
er the election, so he needn't worry
about having to work under the laws
that also will be revised in the recall
election.
& II have no doubt that they will go
the limit to prevent the recall, even to
the extent of bringing fraudulent
charges into the supreme. court of the
state and trusting to theft political in
ffuence to carry them through. But
it will not bring them anywhere. The
recall is demanded byAthe people Of
the state, and anybody trying to in
terfere with it in an illegal manner
will have to take the consequences.
Frazier, Lemke and Hagan will
not escape the, consequences of their
acts by resigning. The people of the
state demand show down and these
fellows better take. their licking
standing up than trying to run away
They are going to get it anyhow.
We have now located more than
$4,000 people that can be reached
within forty-eight hours and they are
one solid body on the question of
whether or not the squandering of pub
lie funds is going to be stopped now
or continued. I guess that body of
people is capable Of coping with any
thing that the quarreling nonpartisan
state committee may be able to hatch
up.
"Any attempt to befuddle the issues
will be resented by the voters and the
Independents are fully in accord with
the Courier-News when it says the
T. V. A. laws should not be voted for
by any one who desires to see the
present administration continue in
power. The opposition to the mis-
management in state affairs is per-
fectly willing to take the consequences
and shoulder the burden of restoring
oroder out Of the wreckage~ they are
creating" if the initiated measures
and the constitutional amendment
carry at the polls in November"

THRESHINC OF
WHEAT GENERAL

Threshing Of wheat is now general
in the northwest, except in Montana
and the northern districts of North
Dakota and Montana, says the
latest report Of the Van Dusen Har-
rington company of Minneapolis
The report continues:
"The movement of new wheat will
not be general for two or three
weeks. On the main lines of rail
roads there is sufficient help to
handle the crops, but on the branch
lines in many places, help is very
scarce.
During the past week black rust
developed very quickly in some of
the late wheat in northwestern North
Dakota. This is the territory that
has had such fine prospects. Some
of our correspondents report that
this will undoubtedly reduce the
yield of wheat in that section. The
damage from grashoppers has been
quite serious in eastern Montana.
Some fields have been entirely de-
stroyed. 4.
''In northeastern Montana some Of
the wheat that was laid down by
hail has been harvested, and some
good yields are expected from it.
There are districts in Montana where
the yield Of wheat will be heavy
There are others where the crop
does not amount to anything.
"Our previous reports have COW
cred the situation on barley and
oats. These two crops as rule will
show a quality considerably under
the average, as they were badly
damaged by the heat. There are a
few districts, however, that have
barley and oats, of good weight and
quality. @
"Flax is being cut in various parts
of the northwest. AS we have re-
ported throughout the season, the
reduction in acreage is very heavy.
Indications now point to very
light yield. Some Of the late flax is
turning brown, the bolls are not fill
ing properly, and the berries are
small. Many states that formerly
shipped considerable amount of
flax will have very little this year.
In eastern Montana damage from
grasshopperA to late flax has been
quite severe -.
The weather has been favorable
for corn, and this crop maintains it's
high standard. Rains have fallen in
places where needed and corn is
filling exceptionally we'll. The recent
warm weather will help the crop to

Fargo; Aug. 13.-With more than
the required number of signatures to
tie recall petitions ard with the vic
tcrious onrush of the campaign
threatening not only their political
positions but also their grasp on
state patronage and public pap the
three state officials concerned as well
as other leaders in the league machine
are in state of panic, according to
information leading out Of Bismarck
and league headquarters in Fargo.
Rumors, based on statements bp
people who are known to be close to
TIE inner circle in the league camp,
are persistent in claiming that Gov
6 nor Frazier, Attorney General
Lemke and Commissioner Hagan SER
icusly resigning their Offices at an
carly date in the hope that they by
this action will be able to frustrate
the recall election, save their own skin
to some extent from the consequences
OF their official actions and keep the
league gangsters and hangers-on in
power and financial clover for another
year.
These rumors were brought to the
Independent state headquarters some
time ago but no attention was paid to
them at the time. Later, however, let
ters began to arrive with requests as
to what headquarters knew about the
matter and what it proposed to do if
the three officials should decide to re-
sign. One of these letters says in
part:
'.Have you considered the effect on
the recall of the resignation of the
three men. against whom the election
is to be called, shortly before such an
election? It might be worth while
having it Investigated. suggest this
because from a fellow close to the
throne have an intimation that some
thing of the sort is being mixed up"
That there is something brewing is
further indicated by the attitude of
the league press. Several of these
newspapers have discussed the possi-
bility of the resignation Of the three
officials effected by the recall but they
have so far made this possibility con-
tingent on the adoption of the initiated
measures and the constitutional
amendment at the November election.
Mr.. Lemke's own personal organ
dwelt on this matter in an editorial
a few days ago in which it said:
"The New Republic in it's last issue
makes suggestion that to The Cour
ier-News seems good. 1t is that Gov
ernor Frazier, lin order to bring the
issues of The recall election clearly to
the people, make a statement setting
forth that, if the l. V. A. initiated
laws are carried, he will refuse to
act as governor.
The fight isn't against Governor
Frazier and his colleagues on the in
dustrial commission. 1t is against the
league program. Most I. V. AS don't
expect to be able to defeat Frazier
and Lemke and Hagan. Under cover
of the fight against them, however,
they expect to be able to carry one or
more Of the initiated laws, as they
did in the regular election. Any. one
of these laws would make it utterly

REALISTIC SLUM SCENES

den where gaunt and dreary men and
women slave over bits of pelts cut
from cast-off garments or filched from
