READ STORY FROM
MARY R. ANDREWS

Miss Paula Kittel, of the English
Department, read a very enjoyable
story "The Three Things" in chapel
Thursday. The same author, Mary
Raymond Andrews wrote "The Perfect
Tribute" ss
This story of Mary Andrews tells
of the experience of a young Ameri-
can, Philip Morton Landicutt, who was
brought up in wealthy American
home and educated in an eastern uni
versity. Philip thinks himself su-
perior to the common people, is skep-
tical about religious matters. and en-
tertains very serious race prejudices
He disagrees with his mother on all
three of these accounts and tells her
so before leaving for the battlefield in
France.
In the course of his experience dur
ing the war, Philips ideas are radical

trenches, cockney chauffeur, proves
to be his mothers cousin and with his
death, Philips race prejudices disap-
pear. Later, as he lies wounded on the
battlefield, he learns to pray, for he
had reached those profounder places Of
life in which he found his God. Still

Chicago Organization Acquires Use Of
Famous Worlds Fair Field
,ts Museum Building. (

The American Legion will soon have
= the use Of building known to mil
lions in America as the embodiment
of beauty in art and architecture, the
old Fine Arts building Of the 1893
Worlds Fair. The crack Of army
rifles will be heard in the famous
structure, for it has been turned over
to the Hyde Park post, No. "a, Of the
Legion in Chicago, as an indoor rifle
range. Il
The large edifice, known as the old
Field museum after the Worlds fair,
was evacuated with the completion OF
the new Field museum. Various Or
CARNATIONS of Chicago Immediately
besieged the park commissioners for
permission to use the building, but
the Legion posts request alone was
granted.
Legionnaires now have a rifle range
de luxe, one that will tend to erase
the veterans Memories of sweltering
days, shivering days and cold, moist
days spent In trying to locate the
bullseye on the army's outdoor fir
ing points. The building Is SO large
that a 20O-yard range was established
without difficulty, along with the
shorter distances.

Rev. Thos. E. Nugent preached a
very good sermon last night on the
question "Help to Keep Valley City
Clean" The sermon was not designed
to unjustly criticize anyone but to
point out the defective features in the
matter of keeping the city clean. He
alluded to those new boxes placed on
the street corners as result of the
work of the civic league and said that
while the placing Of papers and other
waste matters in those boxes helped
very materially in keeping the town
clean, there were many vacant lots
many back yards and alleys that up
to this time had not been cleaned up
and he thought it should be done.
Then he went on to say that keeping
the city clean was not the only thing
to think about, but to keep ourselves
clean morally, physically and relig-
iously. The sermon was full Of good
meat and was to the point.

Our first dollar sale day in Valley
City was a big disappointment in one
way. because the rain that continued
all day kept the country people from
coming in. However, merchants tell
US that business was good among the
city folks, who took advantage Of the
many bargains offered and were. on
the job at the various stores bright
and early to get their share of the
bargains offered. The business men
will probably but on another similar
sale a month from now and hope to
be favored with fine weather so that
those living in the country can get in
and secure many of the bargains Of
fered. -

BIG CROWD HEARS
THE BAND CONCERT

The Sixth Annual Municipal Band
concert was presented in very pleas
ing manner Thursday at the Normal
Auditorium before good sized audi
ence of appreciative listeners. The
band boys have been working hard:
and the results of it were shown by
the ease in which they played through
some of the difficult parts of the
pieces. The band is now under the
leadership of L. w. Hubbard, who as
sumed leadership duties some time
ago. Before the last piece on the pro-
gram was played, he expressed his
thanks to those present for patronlz-
ing the band and stated the band boys
were more enthusiastic than ever this
year, and he believed that this years
municinal band will perhaps be one OF
the best Valley City has ever had. He
stated that if contemplated legislation
goes through, the band hopes to have
a law on the city statutes providing
for small tax levy for the benefit OF
the municipal band. He asked all men
and women present to vote for the law
if it is put up at the next election:
stating that this would not necessitate
soliciting each person for funds every
years for the support TO the band, but
rather the band would be supported
by small tax levied on each tax pay
er. IT,.
The band intends to furnish music
this summer in the park and will also
probably make trips throughout the
county. ''n d.
