V.C. H. DEBATERS
TO MEET CASSELT0N

The Valley City High School will
clash with the Casselton High School
in debate on Thursday, February 10.
The debate will be held at Casselton
in the High school auditorium. The
question for discussion will be the ad-
visibility of intervention in the af
fairs of Mexico on the part of the
United States, and Valley City will
take the affirmative side Of the ques-
tion.
The affirmative has as it's main
argument the fact that intervention
is necessary to the peace of the Unit
ed States, because Mexico is COM
posed very largely of hot-headed
tickle people who may themselves at
tack the United States and who may
fall prey to propagandists from across
both the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans who wish to attack Uncle Sam
through Mexico. The affirmative also
find support for their contention in
the fact that Mexico is a desirable
place from which to ship finished pro-
ducts. If internal affairs in Mexico:
they say, are once untangled, trade
can be resumed with Mexico with mu-
tual profit.
The negative has several quite
strong CONVENTIONS in their favor. The
fact that Obregon is new type of
president, who seems to be "on to" the
trick of managing his countrymen:
coupled with the fact that he is the
second president in ninety-nine years
to be elected without bloodshed, pres
ages healthy growth for Mexico in the
next few years. Also the fact that
Intervention would be viewed with re-
sistance on the part of the Mexicans.
as we'll as with suspicion on the part
of all Latin America, would constitute
an obstacle not to be despised. Fur
ther, no feasible plan Of undertaking
intervention seems to exist. There
are one or two examples, Egypt, San
to Domingo and Cuba, where inter-
vention has occurred on the part of
other powers; but the examples are
so different from the present case, that
comparison and analogy are hardly
justifable. &c.,.

AUTO LICENSES
OUT NEXT WEEK

With. application blanks for licenses
and the automobile fee schedules in
the hands of county and city officials,
owners of automobiles in North Da-
kota will next week begin making ap-
>plication to the state motor vehicle
Registration department for their 1921
tags.
All 1920 motor vehicle licenses ex-
pired at midnight on Dec. 81, 1920, ac-
cording to instructions received from
the state motor vehicle registration
department. The delay in issuing the
1921 tags has been due to the fact that
the printers were slow in getting
proofs of the application blanks and
the schedules to the state department.
Valley City automobile dealers have
been notified by the motor vehicle reg
istration department that an accurate
and complete list of automobile sales
must be kept. There has been lax
ity in the matter of transfers, which
the department says, will not be toll
Grated this year. If car changes
hands a transfer must be made within
10 days.
Notice will be given as soon as the
necessary blanks are received by local
officials.

POETRY and TALKS
FEATURE CHAPEL

The assembly exercises on Satur-
day morning, January 22, were varied
and interesting, ranging in subject
from poetry to basketball.
Miss Amidon read a group Of poems
written bv Miss Grace Farley who
graduated from the Normal School in
the year 1908. The poems were beau
tiful and much was added to them in
this respect by the splendid and ap-
preciative presentation by Miss Ami
don. Three or four of these poems
were published in recent number OF
the Budget.
DR.. C. E. Allen then introduced a
former student and alumnus, Mr..
Clifford Granger. Mr.. Granger spoke
briefly on subject uppermost in our
minds at this time, namely, basket
ball. In this he emphasized the I'M
portance and value of an encouraging
and appreciative feeling on the side
lines for the work of the team. .
Mr.. Spalding next spoke with great
enthusiasm Of the recent game and
victory over the Fargo Y. M. G. A.
team. Captain Gunderson very aptly
showed us the spirit existing at this
game by relating the changing atti-
tude on the subject of wagers on the
game. To judge from these two de.
scriptions and the newspaper clip
pings which were read by President
Allen, the "yells" which followed
were well merited by the team.

Y. c. Can Be Proud OF

"Lest we forget" and allow som,
other more enterprising city to take
Valley City's place, in the First NORTH
Dakota Infantry Regiment, let >us re-
view the history of Valley City's fam.
Gus company.
In 1885 when Valley City had less
than 1000 people Gilbert A. Pierce
then governor Of Dakota territory
authorized the organization of an in
fantry company at Valley City and or
March 3rd, 1896 Colonel Tyner of Far

designation until 1889 when North >Da-
kota was admitted as state and the
company letter was changed to "GSDS Of
the First Regiment replacing the COM
pany at Aberdeen, S. D., which took
"F' as it's letter.

WINNER OF PRIZE
IS MADE PUBLIC

The result of last weeks politeness
contest was announced Sunday eve
ming in the Epworth Methodist
church by Rev. J. S. Wilds, who also
preached sermon on "Politeness.
The winner of the SIS prize was Miss
Agnes McCorkell, who is employed at
the Dreyer Store. Rev. Wilds, in pre-
senting the prize gave a very nice
talk, and Miss McCorkell briefly re-
sponded, thanking the committee for
the prize, but stating that she believed
there were several more who were
more worthy of the prize.
The detective found during his work
last week, that there were so many
polite men, that he was forced to
drop consideration Of them, and con-
slider the merits of the ladies only.
Rev. Wilds had for his subject Sun
day, "Politeness. What it is. and How
it Shows ITSELF" The text was "Love
doth not behave itself unseemly,'
selected from l Cor 1876 and "Be
courteous" l Peter, 3-8.
The speaker showed very distinctly
the antitheses of politeness, which
although not mentioned in the Bible:
is supplemented by St. Paul's injunc-
tion "Be Courteous"
"Politeness has been defined as love
in trifes," said Mr.. Wilds. "Courtesy
is said to be love in little things, and
the one secret of love is politeness.
Politeness goes far and costs nothing
1t is the humblest of all fine arts. yet
it is so useful. 1t is fortune in it.
self. Good manners are passports" I"
The speaker enumerated several rea-
sons why politeness should be culti-
waited, and showed the wonderful re-
suits obtained sooner or later by per-
sons who make practice Of politeness
toward their fellow men, and stated
'that the art of pleasing is the art of
getting on in the world"
He also urged that politeness be en-
couraged at home, and stated that
true politeness always recognizes the
poor and humble. and the aged. Also
children and others.
Considerable interest was provoked
during the past week by the contest
and a large crowd was present at the
Epworth NJ. E. church Sunday evening
to hear the sermon and the name of
the winner of the prize. L. D. Rhoades
teacher at the Normal school was the
originator of the contest and G. R.
Zalk, employed at the, Peoples Opin-
ion, acted as detective.

BELIEVES PRICES
ARE STABILIZED

| Herman Stern, manager of the
Straus Clothing Co., of Valley City
has just returned from a buying trip
to the east.
In speaking to Mr.. Stern this morn
ing, he told the Times-Record some
interesting facts concerning the prices
of mems clothing, in which his COM
pany deals exclusively. Asked con-
cerning the present prices prevailing
on mems clothing at the present time,
Mr.. Stern stated that he believed the
present level will exist for some time
to come.
.'The present prices l expect to re-
main for some time," said Mr.7Stern.
"Of course, there will be slight alter
ations, either lower or higher, but the
merchants are buying their goods
without fear of the price declinging
or rising suddenly The customer
may do the same"
Mr.. Stern stated that labor is the
principal question in the east at the
present time. In speaking with sew
eral big manufacturers he was given
the employers side of the story. They
are not asking labor to work for less,
but are asking them to speed up. This
it is believed, can be accomplished
by putting the "piece work" system
back into effect. This, it is claimed
by manufacturers, will be fairer to
them, and also to labor, and at the
same time the wheels of industry will
be speeded up, and speed the country's
return to complete condition Of
normalcy.
Mr.. Stern is very optimistic over
the business outlook for 1921, and has
bought a very nice line of goods for
his store for the coming season, not
being afraid of another sudden drop in
prices such as the merchants exper-
fenced during the last year, but fully
believes that prices are stabalized.

FAIR FREE AT GATE

The annual stockholders meeting
of the. Barnes County Agricultural
Fair Association was held in the
Council Chambers at the city hall on
Tuesday, January 25th. The meeting
was called to order by President D.
S. Ritchie and after canvass of the
proxys and those present it was
found that 271 shares of stock were
represented. The report of the sec
retary showed that the 1920 Fair from
an exhibitors standpoint was very
successful. Although the gate re-
ceipts were the largest in recent years
the expense of the fair was also larg-
er and which together with the new
buildings put up showed the balance
on the wrong side of the ledger.
President Richie outlined his views
of how fair should be conducted at
the present time which simply meant
that the time has come when agricul-
tural fairs should be operated by the
county with no charge at the gate.
This was concurred in by Vice Presi-
dent c. A. Anderson and the secre-
tary as we'll as most of the stock
holders.
A motion was passed that the pres
ident appoint a committee Of three
who, together with the president and
secretary shall call on the county COM
missioners and go over the fair propo-
sition with them. Stockholders C. s.
Brown, DR.. C. A. Anderson and Jas.
Kelly were named to act with the
president and secretary.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: Fred H. Getchell was elected
to fill the unexpired term of Director
J. II. Whitcher. DR.. J. Van Houten:
7. X. Calnan and l. j. Moe were elect
ed directors for term of three years.
D. S. Ritchie was reelected president
and M. P. Krogh first vice president
and G. S. Brown second vice president
The dates for the 1921 fair were held
open until conferences could be had
with the Griggs county and Stutsman
county fair associations as the three
associations will again try to cooper
ate. The new board Of directors are
enthusiastic and aim to make the
1921 fair one of the greatest agricul-
tural exhibits ever pulled off in the
state.

GIVES MANDAN
FIRST DEFEAT

The Mandan Pioneer has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the game Val
,,ey City played with Mandan Satur-
day:
In a game in which the breaks in
luck were more advantageous for
the visitors, the Mandan high school
basket ball team went down to de-
feat by score of Is to ID to the
team from Valley City high school
Saturday night before a crowd of
,lose to 800 which taxed the capa-
city Of the local gymnasium. Quite a
number of fans were turned away
from the contest.
The score at the end of the second
half ended IA to IA and after a rest
Of two minutes the teams got fresh
start with Ford back in for Wertin.
A technical foul was then called on
each team, Larson. for the visitors
scoring and Gray for Mandan missing
the ball rolling around the ring and
bounding out. After few moments
CT play the game was called with the
visitors holding the long end of the
Is to ID score.
Although still feeling a lame back
since the Fargo game, Gray was the
point getter for Mandan, scoring 9 of
the ID points on four goals and free
throw. Hansen scored only two goals
in the second after breaking away
from the Valley guards who had gone
in with orders to hold his record down.
For the visitors Wertin and Larson
were the mainstays, the former scor-
ing seven Of the Is points. Both teams
showed machine-like precision in plac-
ing the ball and wonderful skill was
shown by both quints in evading the
guards in Individual playing when
needed.
The winning of the game Saturday
by Valley City puts the leading teams
in the southern half of the, state about
on par, although the record for Man.
dan shows up the best, they have
chalked up ten victories to one loss.
