Times-Record, Valley City, N. D..
Now days as we read so much and
hear, so much discussion about the l.
Nv. A. and the N. P. L. and our state
is shiyering under the burden of this
administration and we don't know
what is going to happen the next
neither to US or our state we as tax
payers of this state is very much in
terested in what the future is going
to bring. We have got the welfare
of our state at heart nearly as much
as our own family, because when we
are living in this state Of North Da-
kota we got to get living for our
families in this state, and IT we can't
find a remedy to stop this state OF
being wrecked. l don't think it is
much show for any Of US to think we
can make our living here any longer,
as people living outside Of our state
will not have any more faith in US
and would look to US as a race OF
people, that is unfit and unable to
take care of our own state, they mis-
trust us. and say, "don't have any
thing to do with those people," We
are getting like the Bank OF North
Dakota, you can put some INTO IT,
but can't get nothing out OF 1t, this IS
about the way outside people are get
ting to look at the matter IN our
state. It is about time that we look
about and see if there is remedy
that could be used to better the con-
dition, and see if there could be a
chance to clear up, and stralghten up
some of this before the home ship
goes under. Now. then if this Indus
trial Commission we got at Bisparck,
will not move or give us chance to
straighten up some of these bank at
fairs. we will have to use the only
remedy we have got, and see what re-
suits we get of this socalled recall.
I see our House of Representatives at
Bismarck have been planning on this,
7 for one believe it is the only remedy
we can make use of, and then put up
man that is big enough for COVER
nor position. It takes some man TO
oo nsthere now and clear up the rot
fen mess, it is some job. l have IN
mind one man that I think is big
enough for the job, as we'll as l think
he is the man the majority OF the
necple of this state would like to
see in the office. if he would accept 1t
his name is A. J. Gronna, our former
limited States senator, if he would ac-
cent this Office. We have not got
better man in our state to clear up
this political mess, it takes man
with a wide experience to make good
in there now. I hope he will accept
this office and help us out so we can
see our state of North Dakota. as 1t
was five years ago. would like TO
hear from more Of our citizens OF our
state in this line this very important
subject. roon

'SANBORN FAMILY
HAVE ANNIVERSARY

Thursday, March 8, 1921, will long
be remembered by the O. S. Siverson
family of Sanborn. Fifty years ago,
in 1871, Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Siverson
drove distance of % miles by OK
team to Mankato, MINI, where they
were united in marriage. Twelve
children, six sons and six daughters,
living in variohs sections of the Unit
ed States and Canada, returned to the
parental home in order to honor father
and mother on their fiftieth wedding
day. .. llU
The Siverson home was beautifully
decorated in white and gold for the
occasion. Promptly at $3.50 bride and
bridegroom marched into the parlor
to the strains of Lohrengrin's and
took their places underneath a bridal
bower erected for the occasion. The
wedding march was played by a grand
daughter, Miss Clarice, Hanson. Rev.
V. F. Larson, pastor of St., Peters
church of Sanborn, delivered the ami
versary address and offered prayer.
Mr.. Edward Siverson of Kenville,
Manitoba, spoke on behalf Of the
children and presented the bridal pair
with a dozen gold-b -bowled tablespoons,
bearing the letter IS" and in inscrip-
ton 1871 and 1921" Mr." Siverson
very touchingly recalled incidents
from childhood days, how father would
gather his little flock about him on
long winter evenings and read por-
tions of the Bible or discuss Luther's
cathechisn. The speaker urged
brothers and sisters to follow fathers
example in their respective homes.
At 6 p. m. an elaborate wedding
dinner was served to the many guests
who had assembled for the occasion.
At one table father and mother were
seated. Again the Siverson family
was reunited. Again the large fam
lily sat down to dinner together-the
first time in % years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Siverson are both
hearty and hale. taking an active part
in the congregation and in the COM
munity. May this estimable couple be
granted many more years OF happy
welded life. Such is the wish and
prayer of children and grand child
rem and relatives. Such is the wish
and prayer of the entire Sanborn
community.
The twelve children attending were:
Mr.. Chas. Sivcrson, Candy, Minn.;
Mr.. B. S. Siverson, Colorado Springs,
Colo; Mrs. C. E. Hanson, Sanborn;
Mrs. H. M. Rhodes. Thief River Falls.

DON CHA REMEMBER
THAT FARGO GAME

"reminiscences of the Donnybrook-
Valley City basketball game at Fargo
four years ago, when the two teams
fought for the state championship, are
going to keep several of the local
basketball fans away from the two
Donnybrook games that will be play
ed here tonight, and tomorrow, we
are told. Fear, of apoplexy if anoth-
er such game is witnessed is the cause
given. This is only report and does
not come from any of the people who
saw that memorable game at Fargo
a few years ago. With an eight point
lead and about ten minutes left to
play, Cook, the center of the American
Legion team this year, then playing
on the High School team, started
scoring, and aided by Johnny Bowen
and Art Busdicker, soon put the Val
ley City High in the lead. One Of the
fans nearly ruined good watch, one
lady nearly pulled all the hair out Of
her head, another fan was laughing
crying, and yelling all at the same
time. One loyal V. C. sport was offer
ing to bet $50 to IS Valley would win
with only about ten minutes to play
and an eight point lead to overcome.
The two King brothers, responsible
for the near defeat of Valley City, will
be seen in the Donnybrook lineup to-
day and tomorrow.
One travelling man was carried out
Of the gallery, at his own request, the
strain and excitement being TOO much
But Valley City won, and in clubs
and other places about Valley City

Her cross no more to bear.

Sweet face so full of smiles.

Sharp pain you feel no more.

Thru all the years to be,

D0NNYBROOK i GOES
DOWN TO DEFEAT

Valley City American Legion has a
good chance of winning the independ-
ent championship of the state. This
was brought about Friday evening by
the defeat OF. the Donnybrook Ameri-
can Legion by score Of 40 to 81. The
first half ended "a to II in favor of
Valley City. The first half was rather
slow throughout on the part of the
Donnybrook team, being tired after
their long ride on the train, but they
came back. stronger in the second halt,
and their xazrdiisg and defer 'Sork
tightened up. They also fc'sn.l the
basket more regular, dropping in
several baskets at close range. Tracy,
playing forward for the Valley City
team, starred in the first half, making
IA points for his team. N -fg. I1 !.
Valley City played in their usual
good form. coming down the center
Of the floor at the beginning of the
game for several baskets. Time was
called by Donnybrook, and after this
this form was somewhat broken up.

VALLEY CITY WINS
DISTRICT FINALS

The Valley City High school
showed the best form Of the season
Saturday when they took the fast
jamestown five into camp to the tune
Of 22-13, thereby winning the district
championship, which entities them to
participation in the state champion
ship finals. The impregnable three
man defense put up by the five ac-
counted for the low score of the
Jamestown quint and at no time were
they in danger of defeat. Kernkamp
and Mulhair hurried the jamestown
forwards in such a style that their
shots at the goal were forced from the
center of the floor and were far from
being close. Capt. Larson acquitted
himself we'll all through the tourna-
ment and was largely responsible for
the high scores. Wertin and Holm
worked like veterans and both played
the floor and proved themselves the
masters of the pivot and dribble.
Luessen played a strong game at floor
guard and held his forward to one
basket in three games played. Kern
kamp brought the Valley City rooters
to their feet twice in succession when
he intercepted a long pass under the
basket and dribbled half the distance
of the floor and set and looped the ball
through the rim for four points be-
fore the Jamestown players had a
chance to touch the ball. Ford, who
was handicapped by illness, played a
stellar game and repeatedly dribbled
~throught the opponents and scored.
Jamestown, like Fargo, invariably
claim an alibi reporting severe illness
and injuries, nevertheless presented
their regular lineup but the Valley
City five refused to- listen to the
"Stagg" stories and decisively defeat
ed them, outplaying them in every de-
partment of the game. AT, no time
during the season have the opponents
scored more than twenty points on
the local defense. Extensive stress
will be placed on the dribble and pivot
by Coach Fagin in preparation for the
state tournament and according to the
dope sheet the locals have the edge
on the winners of the other sections.
The new three man defense that Coach
Fagin has introduced has proven a
bug-bear to every team the locals
have played and his method of pene
trating the five man defense has
never failed this year. Hard games
are looked for at the state meet and
nothing will be overlooked to strenth-
en- the locals for the gruelling two days
at Minot. It has not been decided yet
who will 60 to. Minot with the team

Il You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is plain-the article did not tulhll
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine:
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy IS
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need OF 1T.
A prominent druggist says Take tor
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for In
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers TESTIFY.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success OF DIR.
E>ilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact.

n,ost every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
