MY dear comrades Of the Ameri-

Il cannot tell you how great is my

years ago, on the first of November,
1918, the entire American army in
France took up vigorously the pur-
suit of the defeated enemy and did
not halt until the German surrender.
tHour of glory for the American
army, proper elimination for a
military effort, prodigious alike in its
intensity as in it's rapidity. One and
all, you have had your share in it.
You may well be proud.

PUBLIC MAY Use new
GYM FOR GAMES

Superintendent G. W. Hanna of the
public schools, has arranged pro-
gram of physical education work, in
which young men, ladies, and business
men may participate. Mr.. Hanna is
sued statement today, regarding the
new plan which he proposes to inau-
gurate, made possible by the fine gym
onasium equipment which the local
high school boasts. The statement:
1--WE have become sufficiently settled
in the new High School to have our
plans pretty we'll outlined for the ply
sical education work. An immense
amount Of time is being devoted to
physical education among the students
Of the school. The time from $3.50 to
$3.50 p. M, for the first four days of
the week, has been reserved however,
for people who are not students in the
school. The schedule is as follows:
$3.50 to 9:3O p. H.
Young Men-Monday and Wednes-
day.
Ladies-Tuesday.
Businessmen-Thursday.
"Coach Fagin or his assistant will
be in charge at all Of these hours, and
their services will be at the disposal
of these groups Of people. 1t is very
manifest that no organization or
ready-grouped set of people can be
given the gymnasium in a body. The
above democratic program\ must
necessarily prevail because of the
limited amount of time that the gym
nasium can be used. However, or
ganizcd groups of people can come to
the gym at one time, but must neces-
sarily work with those who do not
belong to their group. The line of
work will be approximately what each
group wishes. Mr.. Fagin is thor
cugh!y trained in all lines of games
and physical training work and will
be in position to advise and suggest
lines of games and physical training
work and will be in position to advise
and suggest lines of work such that
any group can get practically what it
wants. Will you kindly note the
schedule above, and beginning next
week all who are interested should
report at the gym at the hour and day
specified. Any person especially in
terested in this line of work will do
we'll to try to see to it that good
group of people come out at this time
so that the work may be successful
from the take-off."

COAL ST0VECAS
NEARLY FATAL

George Maresh, son of John Maresh,
ST., of this city, had narrow escape
from death, on his farm about eight
miles north of Valley City Monday.
Mr.. Maresh's wife is away visiting,
it seems. and he was there alone, and
had gone to bed. Escaping gas from
coal stove became so thick in the
room that he lost his senses, perhaps
never waking up from his sleep: A
neighbor who happened to come along
noticing no signs of anybody around,
and wishing to borrow pair of ice
tongs, decided to investigate. When
he opened the door, he found Mr.:
Msresh unconscious, lying in bed
and breathing with great difficulty.
He Immediately called a brother, who
summoned a doctor, and preliminary
aid was given him as best could be. A
telephone message from the farm this
morning states that he is getting
along as we'll as could be expected, al
though still very weak from the ef-
fects of the gas which he had inhaled
into his system.

'|S0B" ARTIST TO GO
TO BISMARCK PEN

F. w. Hildebrand, the "sob" artist
who has created considerable talk
throughout the state because of his
slick dealings, decided to change his
plea to guilty in district court We'd
nesday. He had previously pleaded
guilty to obtaining money under false
pretenses, but had made up his mind
that he didn't escape from the GUS
tody of an officer when first taken into
custody by Barnes county officials, and
was going to demand trial on this
charge. However, before the court
called his case, he decided to change
his plea to guilty, and Judge Englert
sentenced him to two years at hard
labor at Bismarck. However, the sem
tence is to run concurrently, that is
both starting at the same time, and
providing he behaves himself he will
only have to serve a year.
Since being brought back here for
trial, new evidence of his crooked
work has turned up. Besides being
wanted in South Dakota on a charge
similar to the one preferred against
him here at first word has come from
couple of different places in Illinois
that he is wanted back there in that
SCdCe again. I1c N6@u JtSC lllloliCNl

LEGION SWAMPS
CASSELT0N FIVE

In sort of rough and tumble game,
the local Legion boys defeated the
Casselton Legion team Monday eve
ming by score of SO to 8. The score
the first half was 81 to in favor of
the Valley City Legion team. In
canability to shoot baskets, and keep
UP with the fast floor work displayed
by the locals was in large responsible
for the overwhelming defeat admins
tered to the visitors. Considerable
rough playing was noted. The Legion
winning this game, has added another
game to their long list of victories al
ready won, as against the one defeat
suffered from the Fargo Y. M. G. A.
The next game will be played with
a Fargo team when the locals meet the
Fargo X. of C. next Friday evening.
The American Legion team Of this
city is considering disbanding, we are
told, unless they get more support
from the citizens Of the city. They
are playing basketball simply to fur
nish some kind of athletics for the
people, and better support must be
had, we are told if the team is to con-
tinue. With the record which they
have back of them for the number of ,
victories won. this would be too bad,
as Valley City is still entertaining
hopes of hearing some time in the fu-
ture generation from the Minot Legion
team, which has 100 per cent record
for victories. We are told by Manager
Personius today that he has heard
nothing from that team, although four
or five letters have been sent, trying
to arrange dates for game. 1t is /,
said that they have asked Casselton
for game, but thus far have COM
pletely ignored the challenges of the
Valley City team.

C0TTLlEB CETSA T.
. 4 MONTH SENTENCE

Paul Gottlieb was sentenced by
Judge M. J. .Englert Monday in dis
trict court, to term of four months
in the county Jail for carrying con-
cealed weapons, to which charge he
had previously plead guilty. Gottlieb
is the man who was also charged with
assault with a deadly weapon, follow
ing an alteration on Main street:
over carload of whisky which he al
legged somebody stole from local
garage. He was found not guilty of
that charge but plead guilty to carry
ing concealed weapons. ~,
With the sentencing of Gottlieb
Monday the criminal cases were
wound up for this term of district
court. The calendar has been one Of
the largest in many years, due to the
large number of violators Of the liquor
laws, or other charges, directly or in
directly concerned with liquor. =
Civil cases are now being heard.
The first one called was C. H. Fergu-
son VS.. William SCHNEIDER. The case,
it seems, grew out of land deal, and
Ferguson was suing SCHNEIDER for
for commission which he claims is due
for disposing of the land for SCHNEIDER.
The jury returned verdict for the
defendant, however.
Several of the civil cases will per-
haps be carried over until another
term, and no doubt some of them have
been settled outside of court. The
original calendar had AZ civil cases
listed on it.
