One Of the very prettiest weddings
Of the season took place Tuesday aft
ernoon at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs
Joseph Ritter of Leal, North Dakota
when their daughter Miss Edna Ritter
became the bride Of Mr.. Merle S.
Ward, of Union City, Indiana. Just
before the cermony, "Uutil" was sung
very sweetly by Miss Hannah Jones'
accompanied by Miss Aimee Barry,
AS the strains Of Mendelssohn's We'd
ding March pealed forth, the bride
and groom appeared taking their
places beneath an improvised altar of
banks of flowers and smilax where the
impressive ceremony was performed
by the Rev. j. F. L. Bohnhoff, of VAL
ley City, North Dakota. During the
ceremony, MacDowell's ITO a Wild
Rose" was played softly as an accom-
paniment.
The bride looked very charming in
her travelling gown of brown duve-
tyne and wore strand of pears, the
gift of the groom. The bridal bou-
auet was corsage of Ophelia roses
and maidenhair fern. Immediately
after the ceremony, congratulations
were showered upon the bride and
groom by the relatives and friends
present, followed by another song:
beloved, 1t Is Morn"
A three course luncheon was served
after which the bride threw the bridal
bouquet from the stairway which was
caught by Miss Hannah Jones.
The newlyweds made their way to a
waiting automobile which carried them
to Sanborn, where they caught the
Northern Pacific for points east. They
will be at home after October first at
$50 Woodland Avenue, Valley City.
The bride is a beautiful and &C.
complished daughter of Mr.. and Mrs:
Joseph Ritter. She is graduate of
the High School and also of the State
Teachers College Of Valley City. She
was a popular teacher of the primary
department of the Richie School of
Valley City, and prominent in social
circles.
The groom is a graduate Of the
High School of Union City, Indiana.
of Marian College and Of the Indiana
University. He enlisted in the army
and served overseas throughout the
war, receiving a commission. He

VALLEY CITY AND
FARGO PLAY DRAW

The boy or man who plays base ball
for a salary, usually does the best he
can and the people watching him rea-
lie that such is the case and expect
an almost perfect performance from
him. If he does not deliver the
goods" he looks for another job, and
It is all a part of the days work.
But the gang that plays base ball
because they like the gane-and play
upon the home team because it is
"our" team put much more effort into
the game than the professionalism
their errors are faults 'of the head
and not the heart" -s...-.
The game between the home U. C
T. and the Fargo team played upon
the local grounds yesterday afternoon
was a game between "our" boys and
the other fellows and was played
strictly upon that basis.
Our boys had the best pitcher
Schultz went the entire nine innings
while Fargo used two pitchers, Forth
and Wheeler. But the other fellows
did better work behind their pitchers
than our boys and at the end of the
ninth inning the score was to 5.
When the game started, it was
agreed it should be called before the
lecture at Chautauqua so no extra
innings were played and Fargo went
home we'll pleased with "draw''
while our boys decided to whip up
the support and save the next game
the pitcher wins for them.

ADVERTISING CLUBS
met AT MANDAN

I. J. Moe returned last evening from
Mandan where he spent a couple of
days representing the Valley City
Town Crier Clubs at the state meeting.
A state organization was perfected
to be known as The Associated Adver-
Using Clubs of North Dakota. W. E.
Holbein of Bismarck was elected pres
cent and Tom Sullivan Of Mandan,
secretary. Eolbeia and Sullivan are
two Of the greatest hustlers in the
state and with them at the helm the
Associated Advertisers Club of North
Dakota will be heard from. "Masters
at the Helm Will Steady the Ship"
District Director Ferguson of Mime
apolis spoke on behalf of the adver-
Using clubs of the world. Mr., Fergu-
son made special reference to North
Dakota and the possibilities offered to
the Associated Advertising Club of
the state in lettering retail business,
improving advertising, fostering COM
munity growth and state development.
He adjured the Criers to combat I'M
truthful advertising he said North Da-
kota had suffered. He said:
"The other doy l was talking to
John H. Rich, head of the Federal
Reserve Bank Of Minneapolis" he said.
II asked him what message might
bring to you men in North Dakota.
Great confidence he said. He told
me that there were other states much
worse off than North Dakota because
North Dakota had not been able to
borrow heavily in the last few years
and therefore owed less than other
states. "
''Why is it that when bank fails
in North Dakota it is heralded over
the entire country, while if bank
fails in Minnesota you never hear of
it?" asked Mr.. Ferguson. ut is be-
cause you have lost little confidence
in yourself? When one considers the
vast and almost untouched resources
Of this state one cannot but look for
ward to the future with unbounded
confidence"
Other speakers followed each with
real message and the spirit of the
meeting was of the very best. Minot
secured the convention Of 1922.
The Mandan people proved to be.
real hosts. there was nothing too good
for the visitors and they set a pace
that will keep Minot busy to keep up
with for next year. -.

BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE

Ten years ago after the Slope sec
ton had experienced two of the
worst years. so far as general crops
were concerned, an impetus was
given to dairying that resulted in
hundreds of farmers making wheat
growing merely a secondary or in
cidental part of their farming. Many
did not 60 quite as far as that, but
did take on few COWS and found
that the cream checks were all that
stood between them and disaster.
It was virtually the first step taken
on the Slope toward dairying, ex-
cepting Of course the New Salem
territory which furnished the inspir-
alton.
Hundreds of these farmers have
the disastrous years Of 1910 and
1911 to thank for setting them on
the right path. The three war
years when the price of wheat rang
ed we'll above $500 proved an al
lurement to again gamble in grow
ing wheat, though mighty few for
got the lesson of the cream checks.
But it is not questioned that the war
prices of wheat had an effect of in
terferring with the growth of dairy
ing.
Just as in 1910 and 1911 the small
grain crop failure proved a blessing
in disguise, so the 1921 crop is al
ready converting more farmers into
seeing the need for cows, corn and
hogs; fewer acres under cultivation
but the cultivation of what is under
taken, intensified.
There may be wheat farmers in
the state who are adverse to milk
ing cows. Some, it is true through
several years of good fortune have
become well-to-do. But for every
one of such there are a dozen who
have at best broken even. The rec
ord Of failures of corn and forage
crop in this section proves conclusive
ly the wisdom Of forsaking dependence
on wheat, and putting your money
on the black and white" or some other
good breed of dairy COW. There are
drawbacks to this game it is true, but
they are few and far between compar-
ed to the growing of small grain, and
it is a most healthful sign the intense
interest now being taken all over the
Slope section in dairying.-Mandan

DeeH SuCCeSS1 ul.--MAllledPoio oouh
nal.
President Harding's interest in the
life of the average man and woman
is we'll known, and he sometimes finds
time to manifest this interest when
unusual circumstances call it forth.
Here is letter he wrote to mother
in New York City. Mrs. Domenico
Zaccahea:
"My Dear Mrs. Zaccahea:
~ noticed in one of the Sunday
papers picture of yourself, your
husband and your very remarkable
family of 16 children. l cannot resist
expressing my very cordial congratu-
lations. Perhaps l am moved to do so
because of little incident in my own
life. My mother bore eight children
and raised six Of them to maturity.
One afternoon, shortly before her
death, we were all at my house hold
ing a family reunion and she spoke of
having borne eight children and SAID
with an affection most appealing to
me, that she had been happy to bear
eight children and if she had her life
to live over, she would have no desire
to change it except to bear chit more
l thought it was beautiful thing for
her to say and the recollection of it
inspired me to write my very cordial
congratulations to you and add there
to my very best wishes"
This letter is interesting for sew
eral reasons, not the least of which
is it's revelation of the presidents own
family history. To have been one of a
family of eight children, and to have
had mother who thought the bear
ing of eight children a supreme salts
faction, and who wished for eight
more, is to stamp President Harding
as man of the people, much more so
than is usually thought to be the case.
It all recalls Teddy Roosevelt's vigor-
Gus attitude on the race suicide ques-
ton, and his desire that large families
of sturdy children should become an
American ideal. 1t has also sadder
note, in that President Harding has
no children of his own, being denied
that privilege by both the Lord and
the doctor. Nothing finer in Amer
lean public documents has ever ap
peared than President Lincoln's let
ter to Mrs. Bixby of Boston, who was
the mother Of five sons, every one of
whom died on the field Of battle in the
Civil War. That letter, in our judg-
ment. should be part of the instruc-
ton in patriotism of every American
boy and girl. Valley City's hosts of
red-cheeked. mischievous, sturdy, and
hish-spirited boys and girls are the
best guarantee we have that this COM
munity is really American and that
the future is secure. All honor to the
parents of these candidates for hu-
manity," as one has called them. May
our community never be lacking in
sense of the contribution such folks
make to our fundamental prosperity.

at this time do not compare favorably
in volume with the receipts of other
years. The farmers seem to be put

full of a better price later. The quail
ity Of the grain is generally good, ex-
