has, in fact, been brought face to face
with the elementary and fundamental
requirements of sound business.
A number of state banks which lent
on farmers notes which were to have
been taken up when the crops were
sold have been unable to collect be-
cause the farmers refused to sell their
wheat. Because of this in several cases
banks have been forced to suspend.
No amount of oratory will turn
ipromises to pay into cash; it takes
production and distribution to work
this transformation.
What has happened in North Da-
kota is not new in principle. Halt
baked theories and rabid politicians,
artfully playing on the real and i'm
aginary wrongs of the people, led the
voters to adopt fantastic political nos
trums in the mistaken belief they
would cure evils they could only make
worse. The result has been exactly
what was predicted by unimpassioned
observers.
North Dakota has danced. Now her
people must pay the piper, and as they
pay they must salvage what they car
from the wreckage the Nonpartisar
league has strewn about their state.

TRITE SAYINGS

Talk Valley City all the time.
Punk towns always advertise the
punk people in them.
Everything we do is an ADVERTISE
ment. 1t is up to US to make the ad-
vertising pay.
"Go and preach the gospel" Every
business man ought to be a member OF
the Commercial Club.
A town, like an individual, IS gen
orally a good friend to a fellow II ne
treats the town as he treats his
friend. Think it over.
Some darned pessimist said "Valley
City is dead" but he forgot that the
'"Good Book" says "the righteous shall
live again." Let us make this our
resurrection day.
Many clubs have been talked to
death. That is not the trouble with
our commercial club-most Of the
members have been too dead to talk
Let's save our commercial club by
showing more interest, attend the
meetings, talk to the point, rush the
business through and get home to our
wives and families before midnight:
Wake up and make the commercial
club thing of life in the community.
We have no time for dead ones in this
year 1921.

Press dispatches the past two days
do not seem to indicate that the league
of nations is functioning to any
alarming extent and instead OF putting
a stop to any future wars it seems
to be breeding more of them. There

be disposed to kick over the traces
when it comes to carrying out the
peace terms. Russia and the Bolshe-
yikes seem determined to scrap it
out and the border states are IN dan
ger Of invasion by these big blood
thirsty countries who have had just
enough blood to make them want
more. France, England, Italy are
bound to make Germany come to
terms and France has already loaned
the border states millions of francs for
war material. Germany is said to be
keeping up steady stream OF NUM-
tions toward the border states and re-
fuses to disband the citizens guard as
required by the peace terms. the
allies are getting ready for another
big mixup unless Germany capitu-
lates under the terms Of the agree.

nations. Will the United States again
be dragged into the maelstrom, II
Europe gets tangled up in another
war? Not if our voice and vote
counts for anything.

And dreaming little and doing much;

NORTH DAKOTA COMES TO

The failure of many banks in North
Dakota is not so much an Indication
of a bad state of affairs there as it is
of a return of sanity. On November
2 the people of that state, long bun
coed by the nonpartisan league, voted
to repeal the law compelling the de-
post of all public funds in the Bank
Of North Dakota, wobbly financial
concern controlled by the bosses of
the league. As consequence of this
repeal number of the little brothers
of the big bank are now going on the
rocks. Under the old law the Bank
of North Dakota paid two per cent on
all public deposits and then loaned
them out to other banks over the state
for four per cent. The difference
made a tidy sum and this the bosses
of the league employed in an attempt
to strengthen their hold on power in
the state. Thus their bitterest enc
mics were forced by indirection to con-
tribute to their cause and their final
overthrow is to be hailed as good
omen by the whole country. The non
partisan league, originally organized
to combat a real evil, became in time
a much greater evil than that it was
designed to oppose and certainly its
socialism and it's anarchy have worked
tremendously against the best inter-
ests of the state. North Dakota is not
the first state to seek relief from real
and imaginary ills by adopting the
demagogic nostrums advocated by
self-seeking scoundrels and we sup
pose it will not be the last, but the les
son it affords should certainly serve
as warning to other commonwealth
tempted to do likewise. Flying from
one extreme to the other and adopt
ing vicious measures in order to COM
bat vicious conditions naturally react
and when reaction comes the people
are the sufferers. The demagogues
responsible for it all usually manage
to drop off, leech-like, swollen with
the blood they have sucked from the
foolish public. - Fort Wyane (lnd.)

DARLINGTON GETS
ANEARSHUT OUT

Playing an exceptional game of
speed and clever passes, the Valley
City Legion team defeated the Car
rington Legion five Thursday evening
by a score of As to 4. The four points
made by Darlington were made in the
last few minutes of play, when a cou-
pie of clever field shots gave Caring
ton the only points secured during the
game. The Darlington team played
good game, but were completely
swept away by the speed and fast
playing exhibited by the Valley City
team. The Valley City five rolled in
basket after basket, most of them be-
ing short field shots, made close to the
basket. The ball was kept in play in
the Valley City territory most OF the
time. Tracy, usually holding a for
ward berth, was placed at guard and
played a good game at this point, as
we'll as the other members of the
team.
The lineup was as follows:
