F0CH KISSES
LILA B0NHUS

A former Valley City girl, daughter
of Al. Bonhus, has the distinction OF
being kissed by Marshal Foch. The
following little story from the Min
neapolis Journal, tells all about it:
Little Lila Bonhus is the proudest
girl in the neighborhood today. When
she looks out of the window, she sees
other little girls from along the street
watching her house, enviously. They
talk to her in an awed tone.
And why shouldn't they?
For Lila Bonhus has been kissed by
Marshal Foch. And that after she
had turned away in half fright; after
she had tried to slip away into the
crowd because she was afraid the mar
shall wouldn't notice her.
AS a Girl Scout, Lila was deputized
to present a bunch of violets to Mar
shall Foch, on the steps Of the Mime
apolis Institute of Arts when the mar
shall stopped there yesterday. She
had polished the insignia of her uni
form; she held the bunch of flowers
tightly in her hand as she waited for
the great soldier to come down the
steps from where he stood greeting
the school children of that city.
Then crowd, hundreds Of them:
eager as she was eager to see Foch:
pushed through the line of soldiers.
She could not get through. She was
very near to tears. But the soldiers
pushed back the struggling crowd
They let her through. And the mar
shal stopped.
"Here is a gift" Lila said, and
halted. She started to back away as
the gray little man smiled quizzically
at her.
And Foch laughed.
"Ah, ma petite jeune file! Vousetes
tres gentile," he said, half laughing.
"Merci!"
He seized her in his arms, lifted her
from the ground, kissed her soundly
on either cheek and set her down
again. His eyes twinkled. For mo-
ment they stood still-the great gen.
eral and the little girl. 1t was great
moment for Lila Bonhus. The marshal
raised his hand towards his hat, as if
in salute. Then he passed down the
steps and into his car.
Behind him, little Lila Bonhus
gasped and choked. She threw arms
about her scoutmaster. "Oh, it was
wonderful" she said.

The common house spider spins a
web quite different from that OF the
garden spider. The house spiders
web consists Of a silken tube hidden
in dark corner. with an irregular
sheet Of closely woven meshes spread
before it. The tube Is the spiders
lurking hole and place Of refuge; the
outspread web is its snare. The wolf
spider makes tubular hole with a
hinged door for refuge and spreads
no snare. Still another species of
spider constructs far simpler tube Of
silk without any lid or door.

49, .2e position on one of the teams
t-:ncipal Ward has the schedule for
the iirst team made out with the ex-
ceptio.l of sclEa finishing touches, and
lie Announces that it will be the best
schedule the High School has yet had
Special attention has been given to
the home games, nine of which have
already been listed, and after the mid
die of January there will be strong
team here each week to try conclus-
ions with .ast years champions. Three
games with closer teams will be play
ed before the holidays. The district
tournament this year will be held
March 10 and IL, and the state tourn-
amelt will be held at the Agricultural
College at Fargo March "a and Is.
The schedule for the first team is
as follows:
Dec Wimbledon at Valley City.
Dec. 16-Sanborn at Valley City.
Dec. 22-Tower City at Valley City.
Jan. 13-14-Bismarck and Mandan
at Bismarck and Mandan.
Jan. 2O-Jamestown at Valley City
Feb. 3-Casselton at Valley City.

Feb. 17-Minot at Valley City.
Feb. 20-JamestoWn at Jamestown.
Feb. 18-Casselton at Casselton.
Feb. 23-Mandan at Valley City.
It is possible that Bismarck and
Grand Forks will be booked for home
games, but nothing is definite in re-
gard to them yet.
The second team schedule is now in
the making, and will include games
with Dazey, Sanborn, Leal, Courtenay:
Noltimier, Grand Prairie and other
nearby towns. Some Of these games
will be played as curtain raisers for

The High School has several OF its
last years champions back, including
Wertin, who was all-state forward for
two successive years, Mulhair, Ford
Krogh, Holm. Veterans of the 54th
squad who are candidates for berths
on the first team this year are:
O'Neil, Busdicker, Briggs, Beleal and
Meinhardt. The High School has, in
fact, wealth Of material.
The State Teachers College expects
to put it's usual strong team in the
field. Its schedule is not yet made out,
but will include Fargo and Jamestown
Colleges and other State Teachers
Colleges. The American Legion is
again planning on a basketball team
and, all in all, Valley City folks will

WRITES LETTER

The following letter will no doubt
be of interest to the readers of the
Times-Record, who will remember
Mrs. Morsbach, nee Florence He'd
strum, who, with her husband, is
studying music in Italy:
Naples, Italy, Oct. oath.
Dearest Folks: l thing l have
written two letters home since l heard
from you but my heart is heavy to-
night and l know yours is, thinking
of what happened three years ago to-
night when our beloved Adolpha was
taken from us. So I want to write
because it will help to chase away the
blues. BY the way did you get the
flowers? I wrote the V. C. Green
house to send you some for the 25th.
l had company today. Our Italian
teacher came to see US we had nice
chat in Italian and l made coffee of
course. Wednesday noon two Amer
leans are coming for lunch, an Ameri-
can soprano pupil of Sabastianio and
her mother whom we knew at the
Pension. Hope they'll be able to
stand it. Last Sunday we had two
other Americans for breakfast, a Mr..
Baggion (who spent some time in
Fargo, N. D. and his girl, he has a
wonderful tenor voice. Well, we had
breakfast at 1880 a. M. I made sour
milk pancakes and they just raved
over them. AL. did too. He is wild
about pancakes anyway, but I did
have especially good luck with them
that morning. After breakfast we
autoed to Amalfa and spent a mar
velous day. 1t is considered >the most
beautiful drive in Italy We got there
at 1890. Had wonderful dinner, did

ical old places, one, church built in
400 A. D., an old convent, the most
noted in Italy. We started for home
about 5 p. m. and as we Travelled
around and thru the mountains with
view of the bay on the side. I nearly
went wild with estacy. But during
the sunset, want to tell you, | was
speechless. It was so beautiful,
wept! l felt as tho the heavens could
not be more beautiful, and as the last
rays of the sun faded away in the
west, great big full moon appeared
on the scene in the east scarcely less
in grandeur that the sunset. Well my
vocabulary is entirely too limited to
properly describe that day with it's
sights and sceneries. l only wish you
could have seen it.
Have heard two operas since I last
wrote, "Lucia" and ola Forza Del
Destino." The last one interested
me especially because l am studying
it. just drank in every word, sound
and action. l learned so much.
can't tell you how much we enjoy our
apartment. We are so comfy and
happy here, and as a consequence we
are studying so much harder and ac
complishing so much more and at that
it costs us less to live than at the
Pension, the only difference is that l
have more work to do, but it is work
that l enjoy, and much better off for
having it to do. Both Al and l are
feeling great. Have even gotten to
the point where we need extra exer
