The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1921-02-10


Mrs. Frank White addressed good
ly audience of the League of Women
Voters at the Commercial Club Rooms
last Monday afternoon on the subject
"Processes of Law Making" Mrs.
Whites broad experience in having at
tended many past sessions of the leg
islature and as the wife Of ex-Gover-
nor White admirably fits her to rem
der instruction along these lines.
Much interest was shown by the wom-
en- present and many questions were
asked. Through the courtesy of Sen
ator Frank E. Ployhar complete files
of both the House and Senate bills. as
we'll as journals were furnished for use
at these meetings. These gatherings
are very instructive and are held
strictly along non-party lines for the
purpose Of general instruction and in
formation for the woman voter. 1t is
to be hoped that the women will con-
tinue their interest and that future
meetings may be largely attended.
Much valuable information can be
gained.
Jamestown is after wireless sta
ton, tooth and nail and is doing its
best to interest citizens to donate a
little money toward the construction
of one. The absence of Russell Pray's
wireless station in Valley City has
given jamestown the opportunity to
build a first class station, and they
will perhaps get it, being directly
west of Valley City, and especially
invited to get into the radio league.
In referring to the Dakota Division Of
the American Radio Relay League:
Mr.. Boyd Phelph, the manager says
in the January issue of QST: 'tWe
miss the. spark Of Mr.. Pray's station.
9zx, formerly at Valley City, and it is
a great hardship to have him drop
out. I'm has also left for California.
These two stations were the ones that
completed the missing link in this
route, and it will be hard to find
their equal as there are not nearly
as many good ones to choose from in
this part of the country as compared
to other divisions" :.
Postmaster w. w. Smith advises us
that the campaign inaugurated some
time ago to shave your mail address
ed to Street and Number or Lock Box"
as the case may be, has resulted in a
marked increase in correctly address
ed letters. received at the local Office,
with the result that delivery of same
is greatly expedited. Mr.. Smith how
ever reports that there still is room
for improvement as many patrons of
the office still receive their mail ad-
dressed simply "Valley City, NJ d.
with neither street, number, or box
number and it is needless to say that
as there are many people Of the same
name in Valley City, the question
arises: "Who should have the first shot
at this one?" BY having your cor
respondent place the street and num-
Der, or box number as the case may
be, on your letters and all mail you
expect, there is practically no chance
for delays, or its going astray. Help
out the post Office service by making
an effort to do this-it costs you
nothing and helps lot.
