VALLEY CITY TEAM
TAKES FIRST GAME

The Valley City baseball team
started the season right Sunday by
defeating the Fargo Athletics by a
score of 6 to 4.
The Valley City team completely
upset the dope. Even local fans were
not very confident about the success
of the team, and money on the Valley
City team was lacking, until local
sports got line up on how the team
would work together. The game Sun
day was the first one that the team
had been in the field this year, ex-
cept for short workouts on the home
diamond, but the team seemed to work
like clockwork although six errors
were registered against the team.
The Fargo team time and again had
men on bases when the third "our"
was accomplished, through the clock
like, work that the, Valley, City team
showed. %Gourd. a new man on this
years team, was on the mound for
Valley City. He walked one man:
and struck out eight others. The Far.
20 boys got ten hits off Gourd, and
the Valley City boys got ten hits Oft
Needham in six innings, and two OFT
Boardman in three innings.
Local fans who saw the game are
now confident that the team that VAL
ley City will put into the field this sea-
son will be as strong if not more so.
than the team that represented the
city last year. The team has bat
terry which it is believed with a, little
more prectice and loyal support from

The opening game on the home dia-
mond will be played Wednesday, when
the Calgary Black Sox, colored team
from Canada, will play. Part Of the
team was seen in action here last year

DAY ABlC
EVENT this YEAR

All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy! ~.
Very true, indeed, and we don't want
any dull boys and girls in Barnes
county, so let them come to the an
nual county play day that will be
staged in Valley City next Saturday.
There will be amusements and sights
that will even interest the grown-ups:
who of course can make as much of a
celebration out Of the day as the little
folks intend to. The annual play day
is a day that all the children Of the
county look forward to every year.
Another feature of the day this year
will be the declamatory contest for
schools outside of Valley City. This
will be held Saturday evening. If pres
ent plans are carried out there will be
contest for the boys and also one for
the girls.
The program for the day is as fol-
lows:
900. Annual Parade forms on
First street west Of park entrance.
1O:45. Folk Dances and Drills on
Normal Campus.
1900. Picnic Luncheon at City
Park.
100. Report at Normal Auditori-
UNI.
1880. Track and Field Events, Boys
on Fair Grounds on hill back of the
Normal. Girls on Normal Campus.
$3.50. Contest Game-volley ball
long ball-quoits (horseshoe). Base
bail (not played at this time but PEN
nant awarded).
500. Awarding Of Prizes.
500. High School Declamatory
Contest, Normal School Auditorium.
The weather permitting, this day
ought to be one of the greatest events
of the school year. Every teacher and
principal should study the program
carefully and arrange to have his or
her school enter as largely into the
events and spirit Of the day as pos
sible. Attention is called to the an
nual parade. This parade will con-
sist Of floats prepared by the schools
of the city and country. Really no
teacher can afford to let this oppor-
tunity pass without entering a float
to represent her school in the parade.
It would be fine if the rural schools
of Barnes County would join in large
numbers and make this parade truly
school parade. Resourcefulness on
the part ofthe teacher and industry
on the part of the schools are the on
" qualifications necessary to enter a
float. The Commercial Club Of Valley
City is offering special inducements
this year to make the parade attrac-
tive to rural schools. Cash prizes are
therefore being offered to schools TAX
ing first, second and third ranks in
the parade. In addition to this the
school winning first place in the par
ade will receive the beautiful cup pro-
vided by Sterns Brothers. This cup
at the present time is in possession of
the Grand Prairie school.
Attention is also called to the folk
dances and drills to be held on the
Normal campus at 10:45. All schools
are invited to participate in this event.

MAYOR PR0CLAlMS
DECORATION DAY

It is fitting that we, as citizens, ap-
preciating the deeds of our noble men
and women, now dead, pause and con-
template on their sacrifices, that we.
might have better world to life In:
Human life measured in length OF
time alone, would not contribute much
to the sum total of mans happiness:
but measured in service, has contrib
uted to what we have of civilization:
knowledge and happiness. Our pleas
ure in living are the fruits of lives Of
humans gone, and who left behind
them a better world. Their graves re-
mind us that the careers of the truly
great is not ended: but live on through
eternity. From Bunker Hill, Gettys-
berg and Flanders Field, we hear the
voices of those who contributed their
young lives in the cause of freedom:
calling us to dedicate our lives to ser
vice Of humanity. These dead solemn
ly remind us that yonder flag, so dear
to them must never be lowered in sub
mission to enemies of freedom. AS
we on this day, place our flowers upon
the graves of these dead, as a, loving
tribute to their memory, let us think
of them and their deeds in grateful
remembrance.
Wherefore: In conformity with the
proclamation of the president of the
United States Of America, hereby
respectfully ask the citizens of Valley
City to set aside Monday the Both day
of May, A. D. 1921, as Decoration Day:
and that each and all of us cease from
the ordinary tasks and avocatlons
upon that day: giving it up to the re-
membrance Of our dead and in thanks
giving to God for his many blessings.

THE CONFESSIONS Of A
U O STAR

A girl reporter sent up a card
and ended u discussion OF Hutch

screwed up my courage 70 meet
the newspaper woman. My mind
was still muddled by my recent talk
with Motherdear One principle Of
mine, however, had been reinforc-
ed: | never. never intended to fall
in love. I'd never go in for an
emotion as unstable as that. 1t vas
destined from the beginning to
pass. 1t did pass, in many OF the
lives | know hest.
II only could tell that to the
nice young woman who bad come
for my opinion about something
anytiing-what a sensation heT
story about me would make:
The newspaper girl couldn't see
why certain types Of business wo-
men should be continually linked
UP With n certain type of transient
romance. The hunch had come
from her managing editor, apropos
Of q big divorce sensation. She
had been assigned to ask steno'
graphers. movie artists, show girls,
woman physicians and nurses what
they thought about It.
Aud she appealed to me as a
girl who had never been engaged!
Motherdear rather liked the
stunt. Fortunately, she could give
the girl reporter a Victorian back
ground upon which to project her
modern pen picture.
In Motherdear's girlhood. the CIR
Gus riders were almost the only
ladies who enjoyed spiced publicity.
And Motherdear remembered how
her circuseS had been spoiled for
ever by the hint that the lovely
ladies in fluffy tarletan skirts were
not always the delicate fairy things
they seemed. That was. she said,
her initiation into disillusionment!
While the reporter made a note
or two, Motherdear regarded me
c~uriously, seriously. Did she fancy
my time had come-to be dtsillus'
Toned?
AS to the reasou why a certain
sentImentality IS linked up to GER
tain professions for women,
Motherdear summed IL thus:
"Propinquityl"
And I guess that covers IL"
agreed the reporter.
