H0B0ES RUSH
GRAND THEATRE

Manager John Piller. had great
time about four o'clock yesterday
afternoon resisting fifty of sixty ho-
boes who insisted on attending the
matinee without money sor without
price. It seems that the high school
has what is termed hobo day every
year-we do not know what relation
this stunt has to higher education or
whether it is part of the regular cur
riculum-but anyway the boys were
out in full force properly dressed as
the genus hobo and made the rounds
of the town doing stunts and empty
ing their lungs with school yells. Ar
irving at the Grand theater they sud
denly formed the idea that they would
like to see the picture and that in or
der to get in without charge real
hobo rush was necessary and they
proceeded to rush-but Mr.. Plller soon
put a stop to that and after enjoying
the Joke for minute or two finally
decided that if the boys paid the war
tax he would give them the show free.
This generosity on the part of Mr..
Piller was greeted with great big
shout of "yea" and the boys scattered
to get the war tax and soon every
mothers son was occupying front
seat in the theatre and the boys voted
John Piller regular fellow. Mr.. Pill
ler is good to the young folks and he
entered into the spirit of the affair
just like boy and the result is that
both Piller and the boys are greater
friends as a result Of his liberallty.

MODERN WOODMEN

The convention of Modern Wood

men of the city for their generosity
in turning out with their cars for this

evening at $3.50 very fine banquet
was given put on by the Royal Neigh
bors and it was indeed a very nicely
served, bounteous repast The Royal
Neighbors also have the thanks Of the
committee for the very excellent man
uer in which this most vital part of
the program was carried out Follow
ing the banquet was program iof
short talks by various ones which
were greatly enjoyed The speech by
the newly elected head of the order in
this state, Mr.. Acker, of Traill county,
was indeed a fine talk in which he
brought out very strongly the fact
that if the boys and girls had the
right bringing up at home there would
be no need of the nation, state or city
passing laws to try and make them
good citiZens-good citizens are made
by home environment. At the con-
clusion of the program dance was
given in the Elks dancing hall to which
a great many people went and enjoyed
themselves very much for several
hours. In behalf of the entertainment
committee Of the Woodman lodge
thanks are extended to the Elks of the
city for the very generous way in
which they provided the fine hall and
quarters for holding this state con-
vention. to all who in any way assist
ed in making the convention the sue
cess it was. The visitors have. gone
away feeling that Valley City is in
deed a very hospitable little city and
they expressed themselves very much
delighted over the cordial treatment
received while here and in his re-
sponse to the address of welcome to
our mayor yesterday morning Senator

DEVuNE REMOVED i
!: :.s !. FROM OFFICE

Bismarck, May 4.-The State Board
of Administration today took final ac-
ton in the matter of the resignation
Of j., NJ. Devine as superintendent of
the state training school at Mandan.
Devine was formally removed and Ole
Lund, auditor for the boarh, was
placed in temporary charge Of the
school until the new superintendent
selected by the board arrives from the
east.
The Board Of Administration on the
ground that conditions in the state
training school during the winter of
1920 warranted such action, had
on February 2, 1920, requested Supt.
Devine to tender his resignation not
later than April H. 120. That order
had never been rescinded, but was
hereby held in abeyance, mainly for
the reason that a suitable man to
take his place could not be found at
once.
The board had before and since
this action made several investiga-
tions of the institution, because of
constant complaints, in one instance
at the request of District Judge
Nuessle who asked investigation of
conditions in the girls dormitory.
What brought the matter finally to
a head was that five officers Of the
institution recently waited on the
board and complained of the conduct
of the school. Their testimony as
we'll as other evidence moved the
board to conclude that the aged su-
perintendent had lost control of the
institution and that increasing lack
of discipline warranted an immediate
change =. ----L -

Too Much Home Brew Causes
Automobile To Turn Turtle

Louis Lolling, proprietor of the Val
ley Hotel, is in Riverside Hospital
with a broken arm and rib, and other
injuries, and three other members of
an automobile party received severe
gashes and bruises on the body when
an Elcar ''6'' which Lolling was div
ing turned turtle near Sanborn Mon
day afternoon.
The three men who were badly in
jured, two Of whom had not regained
consciousness early Monday evening
were Henry Mayhem, automobile
salesman, John Kratz, and Charles
Morris, all of Oriska. Mayhem re-
gained consciousness soon after the
accident. The party was on their way
to Eckelson, and were demonstrating
the car to one Of the occupants. Ac-
cording to Lolling's version of the
story told today, some Of the men in
the party had been drinking, and were
feeling in that high tone of spirits
which usually characterizes a man
after he has had a few drinks. Loll-
ing, it is said, was driving the car:
but not fast enough to suit the other
occupants of the car. It is claimed
that one Of the men riding in the rear
seat reached over and gave the gas
throttle jerk and the car started
off at fast rate Of speed. Lolling:
it is known, is not good driver, and
usually hands the car over to some
body else when riding. It is claimed
that the man riding in the front seat:
when the car started to sway back
and forth, fell over onto the wheel.
Lolling, it is claimed decided that

place for him to be riding in and con-
sequently vacated, doing several aero
batic stunts before losing his momen-
tum. When he finally got his senses
together he saw the car turn turtle
and the other occupants sailing grace
fully through the air. He managed to
pull himself together and get where
the other men were, who were all ap-
parently unconscious. Mayhem, it is
said, was the first to regain conscious
ness and they managed to doctor each
other up some. DR.. Lang was called
from Sanborn, who took Kratz, May
hew and Morris into town, while a
car from Valley City brought Lolling
to the hospital.
The car is said to be total wreck.
The frame is said to be broken, the
top ripped to shreds and the seats
torn asunder. It belonged to Mayhew
John Heiling of Valley City is inter
ested in the sales business with May
hew at Oriska.
According to information given the
Times-Record three of the men were
very hilarious from drinking too
much home brew. Mr.. Lolling was not
not in that condition and was trying
to drive the car to Eckelson when the
fellow in the back seat reached over
and gave the car more gas, then Louis
got busy with his acrobatic stunt and
parted company with the car and his
fellow passengers but at big cost
to himself, Booze and driving auto
mobiles do not go very good together
and it gets those who indulge in the
stuff sooner or later. @ r.

BASEBALL Sc : ON
OPENS OF ! : LAY Is;

The Valley City s ball associa-
tion will open the 81 Z i with four
game series startin ay 25. "A coll
ored team from ca Q !, The Calgary
Black Socks, under the management Of
S. Gordon, will be the opposing
swatters for this series. Gordon man
aged colored team which played
here last year, but the team that is
under his management this year is an
entirely different bunch it is said.
They are said to be one of the best
baseball teams in Canada and promise
the locals some hot contests for the
openers Of the season.
The contracts for all the players
for the Valley City team have not
been signed yet, but it is said that
an entire team will be mustered in a
few days and then practice will be-
gin. Very little local talent will be
engaged most of the men being hired
players. Harris Gourd, Lefty" An
gell and Roland Van Skyock will be
a strong array of pitchers. a....
Reports from various sections of the
state indicate that nearly every town
of any size is planning baseball
team. Many Of the smaller towns are
planning on using local talent. Car
rington is undecided thus far as to
whether they will put team in the
field or not. Financial backing is
rather weak, although considerable To-
cal talent could be worked in. -.a.
Binford will have a team, two
pitchers being outside men while the
remainder of the team is local. The
season opens May II with game
against Sutton The strength of the
team will be about the same as last
year.
Fessenden has strong team, ac-
cording to reports. A hired battery
and a strong infeld will perhaps place
the Fessenden team this season. .
Wimbledon is planning a team: All
home players will be used.
Pingree is undecided as to team:
They have no local material and would
have to hire all or at least seven men.
However, if a team is organized they
expect to make it fast one.
Rogers is not planning team this
year. Bordulac, Brinsmade and Ju-
anita are other towns not planning on
a team.

The Military Training Camps.

Yesterdays statement by President
Harding. in which he urged every
young man who can possibly do so to
attend one of the citizens military
training camps to be conducted by the
War Department this summer, pre-
sents the several arguments in favor
Of such a course in a concise and force
ful manner. By playing his part at one
of these camps a young man will. as
the President points out, be increasing
his worth to the nation and obtaining
individual benefits Of priceless value
to himself and to the community in
which he lives. In failing to play his
psrt, always assuming he is in a posi-.
ton to do so, he will not only be de-
nydng himself an experience Of price
less value to himself, but will be jeop.
ardhing the entire national defense
program by which it is proposed to
ea1eguard the nation he is presumed
to love.
For, as no less an authority than
Gen. Pershing has pointed out, the
success Of that program depends pri'
marily upon the successful creation
Of a trained military reserve. The new
defense law. consistent with the ira
ditional military policy Of the nation,
cmtemplates the maintenance of a
small Regular Army, to be augmented
in time of emergency by great citizen
forces. Experience has demonstrated
however, the costly and dangerous
folly Of seeking to extemporize these
larger war forces after the occurrence
of an emergency. Hence the plan to
organize reserve trained as a result
of voluntary service for a brief period.
There were three conceivable al
ternatives to the defense program
which has been adopted. The first
would have involved the development
Of a. huge Regular Army, adequate to
carry the nation through any crisis.
The second would have forced every
youth of a given age to undergo mill
tary training. The third would have
involved the abandonment Of any idea
Of adequate national defense. rever-
sion to old slipshod methods, proved
by the world war to be unwise in the
extreme. Every principle Of economy,
democracy and logic promptsd the
adoption Of the program involved in
the present law rather than having
recourse to one of these three alterna.
tives.
Today it remains for the youth of
the District and of the nation to re-
spond with such enthusiasm in the
performance of a service which is at
once an obligation and privilege as
to assure the unequivocal success
Of a plan which. in full accord with
our national principles, would insure
m adequate defense Of American in.
terestS and ideals.

A japanese Suggestion.

To aid in settling matters now at
issue between Japan and the United
States, Viscount Kaneko, member OF
the japanese house Of peers. and who
has visited this country on public
business, suggests in a communica-
ton to a japanese publication that
leach nation appoint seven repre-
sentative men, including their ambas-
sadors. to sit in Washington under
the presidency of the American Secre.
tary Of State, to study the questions
at issue and report their conclusions.
reached on a mutually satisfactory
basis, to the respective governments.
There is merit in this suggestion.
For one thing, and very particular
thing, the matters at issue would. tenn
porarily at least, be lifted out Of the
dangerous domain Of popular agitation
and submitted to commission COM
posed Of men Of high class investigat-
ing and comforting in an atmosphere
Of calm and quiet.
For such work each country would,
Of course, choose such men-men
familiar with public questions. and
feeling an urge toward continuing
the friendly relations that now exist
between Japan and the United States.
We need not close our eyes to the
fact that the matters at issue are deli
cate and important. They touch each
country on its tender side. But they
are not beyond settlement in way
to leave the two nations friends. and
cooperating for world advancement.
Certainly no japanese or American
Of sober and responsible calculation
can think Of break in the relations
of the two countries, and particularly
one pointing In the direction of war,
without desiring to aid in preventing
calamity that would extend in its
effects Tar beyond the contestants. A
second world war. indeed. might re.
suit.
