CITY PAYS HOMAGE
TO ITS DECEASED

Valley City paid homage to her dead
Monday with appropriate ceremonies.
At 2 o'clock the veterans of the World
War marched from the city hall to
the Normal school campus, where they
stood at salute while six veterans of
the Civil War, with faltering step
passed in front of them and marched
up to the Normal auditorium, where
the program of the day was carried
out. The w. R. C. and the Woman's
Auxiliary to the American Legion also
participated in the ceremonies.
Following a program of music and
readings, the address Of the afternoon;
"The Unknown Soldier" was delivered
by Rev. Thomas E. Nugent, pastor of
the local Congregational Church. The
speaker showed how the world had
come to honor the unknown soldiers
and pictured scene in London, where
large funeral procession was slowly
marching to the interment grounds
The premiers, earls and other notables
were marching in the parade. The
soldier was unknown, yet the speaker
showed how the business of whole
nation was halted to pay homage to
a boy, whose name, birthplace or his
tory was oblique. Rev. Nugent's ad-
dress was fine and very in
teresting and he held the attention of
the large crowd throughout the entire
speech. Clifford Ferguson presided
at the services at the auditorium.
Following the program at the audi
forum, the war veterans and auxiliar-
les marched to the grave yard, where
the decorating of graves was done
En- route, they stopped at the Fourth
street bridge, and the firing squad
fired volleys in~tribute to the unknown
dead sailors. Flowers and leaves were
thrown upon the waters.
The ceremonies were very appro-
pirate for the day, and the public as
whole paid fitting tribute to the
dead.
Remaining veterans of the local G.
A. R. taking part in the ceremonies
were: Henry Beal, A. J. Henry, A. ].
Bachelor, D. Nash. c.. P. Stearns and
Gilbert Getchell.
Because Of limited room no children
under Junior High School age will be
admitted to the Junior High School
Commencement this evening. unless
accompanied by parents.

YOUNG EMERGENCY TARIFF
RTTJ

Representative George M. Young
author of the emergency Tariff Bill
and to whom President Harding pre-
scented today the pen which which he
signed the bill, said:
"Uncle Sam ceases today to attempt
to digest all the farm products pro
duced in this country and on top OF
it the surplus products of other coun-
tries. His fat purse has acted as a
magnet to attract the surplus farm
products of other countries which were
purchased last year to the extent OF
over nine hundred million dollars
worth. This has paralyzed farm
prices and greatly reduced the pur-
chasing power Of farmers which in
turn has greatly injured other indus
tries. 1 was called up out of bed last
night by telegram asking if wheat or
other items mentioned in the Emer-
gency Act could be landed without
duty today. If it gets in before IL
o'clock noon, but, thank Heaven, not
after.
"The signing of my bill yesterday
by the president was too late to help
in the marketing of some farm pro-
ducts grown during the season of
1920, but it will help all crops mar
keted hereafter during the season OF
1921.
"Wool, now drug, not saleable at
any price at the interior markets, may
now find some market although it will
necessarily take some time to assiml-
late the two years. supply now stocked

S0X TAKE FINAL
GAME BY 4T0

Valley City base ball fans watched
a fine game Of ball on the local dia-
mond Tuesday night when the Calgary
Black Sox took a close game from the
locals by the score of 4 to 3.
Despite the cold and rainy weather
about 300 fans were in the grand
stand and bleachers and their lusty
cheering helped materially in keeping
the game within bounds of interest.
The local team is gradually round
ing into shape and are beginning to
show signs of team work. and there is
no question that when this matter of
team work is further advanced Valley
City will begin to show the world
what a real ball team should be.
johnson, new conner for the To-
calls pitched a very fine article of ball
and held the colored athletes to six
scattered hits. Two other new faces
in the lineup are Wagner at first and
Kline in center field. Both played
good base ball yesterday.
Lisbon team on the home grounds at
6:15 tonight. This aggregation is
under the management of the old vet
eran and Valley City popular first
sacker, Wingfeld: and it is up to VAL
ley to show this good natured bird that
he has not the only ball team in North
Dakota. A bunch of good rooters will
turn the trick so be on hand.
Other games scheduled for the local
team at home are the Fargo Athletics
Thursday night. This should also be a
cracking good game as the Fargo pa
pers intimate that Boardman is COM
ing up here to get revenge for his de-
feat on Sunday. We say it can't be
done-what say fans?

"My wife, pridefully said citizen
of the Ozarks, in the crossroads store,

Ancient Pjcturea

Mankind has always loved pictures.
Races, without written language,
have left behind them rude carvings
and murals to attest the fact. When
an industry arose that appealed to
this ancient appetite with pictures that
moved, it did not have to wait long to
see whether it would die or flourish.
A dozen years ago the motion picture
business, as we now know it, did not
exist. Today the American public sup
ports 1880 moving picture theaters,
makes 5,OOO,O0O,0OO visits to them a
year and spends $750000,O0O annually
for the amusement.-The Nations
Business.

Many fans braved the roads yester-
day and went down to Fargo to see
the ball game between the home team
and the Fargo Athletics. They report
it a great game. The boys seem to
put up better brand of ball when
they get away from home. But at that
the past week they have been up
against one of the strongest all around
teams in the northwest and if they did
not win all of them they have nothing
to feel so bad about. With a little
more team work we expect to see a
good team developed in the near fu-
ture.

EDiTORiAL


If our readers are of the opinion
that prices of eatables are not COM
ing down we would respectfully invite
them to read the comparative tables OF
prices of the Right Price Mercantile
Co., in their advertisement IN TINS Is
sue of the Times-Record. In this al
is given a list Of prices June ISL,
1921. In 1920 it would cost you TO
purchase this list of articles at this
store $55.65. Today you can go down
to the same store and buy identlcally
the same list of goods for 5000, or
a saving of &C per cent over one year
ago. This is certainly big drop IN
eatab,es and shows very concluslvely
that the cost of living is coming down.
The United Steel Corporation pays
the United States government SIX
Wilton dollars in taxes. This sounds
ike an enormous sum, but it is not
much when you consider that every
man who has built house, every bus
mess man who has built building!
has paid this out in added cost and
then some. These great big corpora
tons do not pay anything out OF their
own rockets they simply pass the
buck to the people while they get their
GOOD dividends every so often just the
same. Leave it to the steel trust to
see to it that they do not lose any
thing in dividends just because your
Uncle Sam gets after them for Dig
tax.
On July first wages of all classes OF
railroad employees will be slashed
from S to IS cents per hour making
a saving of four hundred million dol
lars per wear of the nation S railway
wage bill, This cut has been con-
templated for some time and IS only
in line with the general trend Of down
ward prices. The cut will go into Ell.
feet on one hundred and four lines OF
railroads. The question now is will
the railroads pass on this cut IN wages
to the business interests OF the coun'
try who are being gouged daily for ex'
cessive freight and passenger rates or
will the railroad magnates take TINS
big saving all to themselves: II they
do this then there is nothing fair about
cutting down the wages. Certain II
is that prices must come down ana
labor will have to stand it's share OF
the cut. but when it does the cut must

FARMERS NEAR ROGERS HUNTING

Several score farmers in the vicinity of Rog-

tempting to catch mountain lion which was dis
covered on the Frank Heimes farm near Rogers,
according to reports brought into the city.
Several Of the fellows in the pursuing party
are pretty good with lariats and several attempts
have been made to get the animal in this way but
up to noon today he had not been captured.
Farmers and others in the Rogers vicinity are out
again this afternoon, hot on the lions trail.
The animal is said to be good sized one, and
evidently has Travelled considerable distance,
perhaps coming down out Of the mountains in
