BISMARCK HERE
MONDAY NIGHT

The basketball fans Of the city will
have the opportunity of seeing the To-
cal high school quint in a real game
sn next Monday night when they will
sangle with the fast team from the
Capitol City. Bismarck claims that
fhey have good chance for the cham
pionship this year and the dope sheet
seems to bear out their claim. You
will remember that Bismarck was the
only team in the state to walk away
with the long end of the score against
our locals last year. They have a
number Of the same players on their
lineup this year, and as these men
have had another year of experience
they will no doubt be tough nut for
the locals to crack. However, we have
all the confidence in the world in our
team ard we like to see the hard ones
come here to play as it gives Valley
City a good workout and also gives
the fans a chance to see some rea!
basketball. We've got the team, but
the team needs backing so turn out
Monday night and boost for the
championship.

the car as shown. The mercury cham
Der is threaded onto the thermostat
tube so that the device can be ad-
justed.
This is accomplished by suhm'rSins
it in boiling water and then setting
it just trifle short of making the
circuit. In other words, when the wa
ter in the radiator reaches the boiling
temperature, the motor is dangerous
ly uverheated and needs attention. At
that point the mercury is so expand
ed that it rises in the tube and com
pletes the circuit, thus lighting the
lamp.-Popular Science Monthly.

ALL STAR GAME
WILL BE- TREAT

A great deal Of interest is being
manifested in the game called for
Thursday night at the High School
gymnasium between the American
Legion quint and the College All
Stars. There are several former All
State men on the two teams and sew
eral more who would have been all
state men if such system had been
in effect when they were attending
school. 1t is expected that the college
team will include Busdicker, Delaney,
Stenshoel, Wyttenbach, Anderson,
Bakken and possibly others while the
Legion team will carry Tracy, Cook
Bakken, Pfusch, Bowen and Carlson
There is an element of interest and
rivalry between Cook and Busdcker
in this game. Both of these men were
members of the local high school team
for the time they were attending here.
They were members Of the champion
ship team for two years and they are
both All State men. Thursday night
will be the first time they have had
the opportunity of playing against
each other in their basketball exper-
fence. They will be at center for each
of their respective teams and will
have chance to see who is the bet
ter man. The crowd will also have an
opportunity to judge their perform
ance and will know that they are
watching the two best basketball CEN
ters in the state at the present time
some say the two best centers North
Dakota has ever produced. The riv-
airy between these two men will no
doubt add zest to the game which bids
fair to be the best game Of the season.
There's no reason why it shouldn't be
the best game of the season as Valley
City IS noted as the place where the
basketball players of North Dakota
are made and this game will be play
ed by the best players Valley City has
produced in recent years. Excuse our
modesty but whenever any Of the
members of either Of these teams is
mentioned we can't help getting en-
thusiastic about their brand of ball
Come out and see regular game.

STAI'; HIGHWAY
WORK PROPOSED

The state highway commission has
been in receipt of number of re-
quests for information regarding the
activities of the commission and has
issued a statement of the amount OF
work com. Iced and the amount
which is proposed for construction in
1922, 1923, AMI 1924. According to
this statement there have been 1851
miles of road completed under federal
aid and 55.5 miles of surfacing
There is {. present 634.6 miles of
road undc-' construction and 11.2
miles of surfacing. These amounts
averaged about 80 per cent complete
There are 1922 miles of road pro-
posed for construction in 1922, 1923
and 1924 and 1851 miles of surfac-
ing proposed for these years. The
amount Of work done in 1923 and 1924
will depend largely on the congress-
ional appropriation for federal aid in
the work and the proposed projects
are tentative only. Unless the federal
appropriation is increased a part of
the proposed work will have to be con-
sinued into 1925. If the federal ap-
preparation is increased, as is ex-
pected, more work than is at present
proposed for construction can be
handled on the SO per cent basis. On
the basis of the proposed work the end
Of 1924 will find North Dakota with
total of approximately sixteen and
one half million dollars of federal aid
highways completed. This will give
The state very good system Of state
highways and will be a much needed
Improvement.

OBITUARY OF
SALEM CRANDALL

Salem Crandall was born Novem-
Der 18th, 1849, in Oxford County, Ont
Canada, and died in Valley City, N
D., Wednesday evening, Dec. 21st
1921, in the 72nd year of his age. In
the year 1877 he was married to Mary
A. Gray of the same township in which
they were both born. Three years
after his marriage he came to North
Dakota, and settled on farm south
Of Sanborn in 1888, where he resided
until he took up his residence in Val
ley City, nine years ago. He is sur
vived by his widow and ten children
five boys and five girls also by three
N. D.
His children are Osberg A. of Berg
N. D., Wellington, Nathan, Elma,
Eliza and Robert of Valley City; Mrs
F. G. Bignall and Mrs. Stephen Miller
of Sanborn, N. D., Mrs. P. l.. Trumbell
of Jamestown, and Burley W. of
Olivet, III.
Mr.. Crandall was hard working.
Industrious man, who in the early
days, when the country was new and
travel was slow and facilities for work
were few, made long hauling trips
with an OK team in the most rigorous
weather. Few men possibly ever
worked harder than he did to sustain
his large family and maintain his in
dependence.
He was man of good habits, tenn
perate in all things, and was brought
up in the fear and reverence of God.
He loved music, and being able tC
play the piano by ear, he spent much
time in later years with the old
hymns. He was firm believer in the
Bible, and read it's pages with eager
interest He brought up his children
to respect things religious, and taught
them to work as the only safe and sure
way of getting on in the world He
lived to see some of them we'll mar
ried, and others in the process of Sc
curing their education, and all OF
them possessed of those industrious
habits, which he, by example and
precept sought to enforce.
While Mr.. Crandall had been ailing
for a number of years, there was no
prolonged illness previous to his go
ing and he remained active to the last
On the day of his death he was ap-
parently in his usual health, but after
having spent a pleasant day in con-
verse with his family, he was suddenly
seized with pain about the region of
the heart, and as this was an old diff
ficulty, possibly thought it would sub
side if he should lie down. But just a
little time after he retired to his room.
it was discovered by members of his
family that his soul had vacated the
tenement of clay, and that his spirit
had taken long Christmas journey
The funeral service took place Sat
urday afternoon. December Oath, from
the Epworth M. E. church, Rev. j. S
Wilds, the pastor, officiating. The in
te,ment was in the Woodbine Gene
terry ofaValley City, where the large
family laid his mortal remains away
in the hope of glorious resurrection.

out to all the bereaved hearts in the
loss of kind husband, loving father
and respected citizen.

HOW
DEATH VALLEY VOYAGERS

DEATH VALLEY VOYAGERS
HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES.
{ Death valley has reputation
( for destroying the hopes of man
largely because man is by ma
ture a selfish being, according
to John Stanton of Boise City,
Okla, who claims that most Of
the human beings who perish In
that arid tract of territory owe
their destruction to the individ-
uals who so before them.
"Death valley presents a pic
! ture Of the two sides of human
! nature" said Mr.. Stanton. 1T
! shows on one side the good, the
{ beautiful and the true, while on
{ the other hand It depicts the
: most despicable trait in human
{ ity-selfishness. For instance,
! one of the reasons why most OF
the voyagers in Death valley
come to grief is because they
cannot find water holes. There
are men who know where these
water holes are-men who have
discovered them and men who
erect signs to point the way to
them. But after these real hui
man beings have gone to all the
trouble of erecting the signs,
putting directions on them as
best they can, the selfish trav-
elers come along and, needing
the signs for firewoOd, destroy
them.
"Just for the satisfaction of
n moment, the utility that
comes from a kindling fire
which could be built with lit
tie more effort if the parties
were to search for the firewOod
without using the guideposts,
some people jeopardize the lives
of those who follow them.
That is the story of Death valley.
The place has many tragedies to
its record, but cue-half If not
more Of them could have been
avertcd if human nature had
kept itself in control; If selfish
ness were not such a strong
trait. Death valley isn't half
so dangerous to mankind as !!
these men,"
The most nutritious root crop, afte
he potato, is the beet, which contain

,rigin.

LEGION WINS
THE FIRST GAME

The American Legion won their
first game of the season over the
jamestown Independents last evening
in the high school gym by score of
48 to 8. The legion five seemed to be
in first class condition for the game
and gave the public an exhibition of
basketball that is seldom witnessed
in the city. The passing of the To-
calls was such that it should be CON-
mented on. Although the score would
indicate the game was a one-sided af-
Is i, most of the fans were on their
toes until the final whistle blew. In
the game last night the sco,e board
seemed to be a lost article. But, on
the other hand, the passing and team
work of the Legionaires demonstrated
to the public just what brand of ball
they can expect from them this year
Many of the fans say it is we'll worth
ones time and money to watch Cook
play with the "lttle" fellows. It was
not unusual to see two or three men
on him while he would calmly reach
up with one hand and toss the ball
through the basket
Although the jamestown boys were
outplayed in every stage of the game
they are to be congratulated for their
gameness to keep up the fight until
the final whistle blew. The combina-
ton put on the floor by the legion last
night is one that should prove to be
the strongest team in the state this
season. Although there are number
Of fast teams around the state, it is
the belief of many local fans that the
local legion will never be in danger
Of being trampled on. We are indeed
very fortunate to have such an aggre-
cation in our city and should show
our appreciation by attending the
games. Valley City has always turn
ed out in good shape for basketball
games and should keep up the fine
spirit. The Legion boys have a scor-
ing machine that is we'll worth your
time and money to watch when ever
the opportunity comes and the boys
promise you will have number of
opportunities this season.
