HIGH SCHOOL LOSES
TO JAMESTOWN HIGH

The Valley City High School team
lost their first basketball game of the
season, at jamestown Friday night to
the. jamestown High School by the
score of Is to 13. AS indicated by. the
score, the game was close one, the
two teams being quite evenly matched.
However, one handicap which beset
the Valley City boys was the small
ness Of the gym, the locals being used
to the big oor which the Valley City
High School boasts. The smallness
Of the gym making good team work
partially impossible and dribbling,
which the local team lays considerable
stress on, was almost out of the ques-
tion. The first half ended to 5 in
favor of the jamestown five. Upshaw
of jamestown College refereed the
game, and declared it was one Of the
fastest and most evenly matched
games he had witnessed for some time.
Part of the team returned home Fri
day evening, and the remainder will
come down today. It is not likely that
the jamestown five will appear in ac-
tion here for local fans, as they are
not on the Valley City schedule at the
present time. This is to be regretted,
as Valley City would like to meet the
jamestown boys on their own floor.

That was the request issued today
by Postmaster w. w. Smith.
Special delivery mail will in the
future be delivered without receipts,
and when personal delivery cannot
be effected, the following regulations
shall be implied:
If possible, specials must be de-
livered to the addresses, if not, de-
livery may be made to the person
or persons authorized to receive the
addresses or firms ordinary mail.
When specials are taken to resi-.
dence and no response is received
from the door-bell or otherwise
same will be left in the mail-box
hall or under door.
The special delivery system is de-
signed to expedite and not to insure
or safeguard mail. Valuable articles
should at all time be registered or
insured.
Complaints have been made at the
post Office in regard to receiving
special delivery letters several days
late. Owing to the habit of many
people Of meeting the postman, they
forget to look in the mail boxes. Un-
der the new order regarding special
delivery, the carriers have instruc-
tions to leave the letter in the box
If there is no one to receive it, Mr..
Smith said.

BASEBALL LOOP
AGAIN TALKED

The proposal for baseball circuit
of western North Dakota cities and
towns has often been proposed. The
Dickinson Press invites discussion of
the subject again with the following
article.
"Slope towns with athletic leanings
are already laying plans for the open
ing of the baseball season. Already
a concerted move for the establish
ment of a circuit or league, including
towns along the main line of the
Northern Pacific, has been started.
The promoters include some of the
most enthusiastic fans in the state
and it is their plan to boost the propo-
sition in an endeavor to create suffi-
cient interest in the project SO that all
details may be arranged and the lea
que organized and in working order
before the season opens in May.
"Tentative plans provide for a
league composed of six or eight
teams, including Dickinson, Bismarck.
Mandan, jamestown, Valley City and
perhaps Enderlin or Hankinson.
Such a loop would no doubt meet
with approval by local fans. Valley
City had one Of the strongest teams
in the field last year and some base
ball chatter can already be heard, re-
garding a team for 1921. We hope
to see results produced next summer:
instead of continued discussion of the
proposition.

SMALLPOX MAKES
IT'S SAPPEARANCE

General health conditions. in the city
thus far this winter, have been excep-
tionally good, according to DR.; =. a.
PRAY. city health officer. Influenza,
which has prevailed for the past two
winters about this time, is entirely
absent this year. Some grippe mas
been noted, but none Of the cases
reaching the dimensions Of influenza.
Other diseases are also absent, to a
large extent. There has been some
chicken pox, and also one outside case
Of diptheria, but otherwise Valley
City has been remarkably free from
contagious diseases, which is some
thing that could hardly be expected,
considering the mild open winter
which has prevailed. However
there is one disease, that has made It's
appearance, and which everyone
should do their best to avoid ping in
contact with. This is smallpox, two
or three cases Of which were reported
to DR.. Pray yesterday. The city
health commission urging that as
many people as possible be vaccinat..
ed. and thus obviate the danger OF
catching the disease.

They are: i. j. Moe ,.Silley City

vice president; Wiv Holbein OF
Bismarck, secretary A. q. Ross OF
Stanley, former treasurer, was elect
ed second vice president, and J. T.
Bell Of Bismarck was elected treas
nres. This change was made so that
the treasurer and secretary, Mr.. Bell
and Mr.. Halbien, respectively, might
have their offices together. s
In making plans for an extensive
road building program for North Da-
kota. the state was divided by the as
sociation into 13 districts. The di-
rector Of this district was named by
the association as L. F. Wolfer, of
jamestown.
The principal address Of the meet
ing. was that given by Senator Nc
Gary, the great "road" man of Min
nesota, who discussed the Babcock
amendment, and the characteristic
likeness of the amendment which is be-
fore the legislature at the present
/. time in this state.
After the adjournment of the meet
ing Of the Good Roads Boosters, they
met with the county commissioners.
President Moe, and Senator McGary
believed that the county commission
ers as whole are very kindly dis
posed toward the proposition.
Mr.. Craig of the State Highway
Commission also spoke to the commits
sioners, and showed with figures
what saving it would mean to auto
mobile drivers of the state, if the
Good Roads amendment is passed and
put into effect. The figures showed
that the saving would total approx
mately $22, ,00O, 900 to drivers Of auto
mobiles and other vehicles. OF course
these figures are based on computa-
tions estimated after the amendment
is in full force, and the full line of
trunk highways completed.
President Moe reports the meeting
a great success, and that the people
Of Grand Forks seemed very kindly
disposed toward the proposition, and
extended many courtesies to the Of
ficers of the association.
A drive for membership in the asso
citation will be started soon, after an
executive committee of the associa-
tion has named directors in each OF
the districts.

P0LITET CITIZEN
Will Be SOUGHT
Do you want $5?

y - i
There is a citizen in the city that
wants to find out the name and fea-
lures Of the person that is the politest
in Valley City. This person has Of
fered prize of SIS, and has secured
a detective, rivaling the ability OF
Hawkshaw, to ferret out tins sald
polite person. This sleuth will be
about the city all next week, be-
ginning Monday, we are told, and the
winner Of the prize as selected by the
detective, will be announced BY Rev.
J. s. Wilds Of the English NJ. T..
church on Sunday evening, January
80.
The identity of the detective is un-
known, and his or her whereabouts
may take him or her into grocery
stores, cafes, hotels, banks and per
haps every business house in the. city
and maybe some residences.
This same idea has been worked IN
other cities. and has proved big
success, being first staged, we be-
lieve by the Minneapolis Journal
and maybe some residences.
While the identity of this detective
is known to the Times-Record, 1t IS
no one connected with this paper, but
the detective will perhaps make q
osemi-weekly report as to the progress
being made. It was thought for a
time that the name of the most un-
polite person would also be made
public, but this idea was dropped, as
It is the wish Of the person inaugural;
ing the campaign to create no hard
feelings, but rather to furnish. little
amusement for the city during the
coming week.
Watch out for crouch next week:
as you may be the first one the detec-
tive encounters, and if you have
crouch on your chance at winning that
SIS is about as big as an atom.

Valley City Lodge No. 6, I. o. o. F

Valley City Lodge No. 8, !. o. 0. -
is working hard to increase it's mem
:0ership in 1921. An increase of 100
percent in membership was made dur
ing 1920, and the lodge hopes to equal
this in 1921. The goal which the
lodge is striving for at the present
time is the location of the State Odd
Fellows home in Valley City.
Some action was taken on this last
year, when trustees committee
eliminated all but five cities from
the right to secure the home, namely
Valley City, Kenmare, Wahpeton,
Dickinson and Devils. Lake. How
ever, it appears that some of the other
lodges in the state are not going to
abide by this decision, as it is under
stood that the Bismarck lodge is
working hard to increase it's member
ship and obtain the home.
Plans were formulated at meet
ing held recently to put on an active
campaign for members and make a
drive for the home. It is believed that
it will be attempted to refer the propo-
sition back to the grand lodge meet
ing, which convenes in Bismarck in
June. Local members are of the Opin-
ion that this cannot be done, and that
the board of trustees has the full pow
er to act and select site for the
home.
Valley City members of the lodge
are especially pleased with the re-
cord made by the lodge in the past
year, and the progressiveness shown:
and believe that the board of trustees
will be disposed to consider kindly
Valley ,City's request for the home.

COST OF LIVING
HAS BEEN LOWERED

The burden of readjusting prices
has not all fallen on the shoulders of
the farmers, even though that opinion
may be expressed.
Valley City merchants have also
been big losers, in the present down.
ward trend of prices. Valley City
merchants and also those in other cit
les are doing business on a smaller
margin of profit than ever before.
They are also unanimous in agreeing
that prices as they stand at the pres
ent time will not decrease to any
great extent during the coming sum-
mer, being, marked down to lowest
level at the present time and while
this statement is only a prediction
it is pretty authentic.
An interesting feature of the down.
ward trend of prices is the possibility
that clothes, shoes, etc., will be lower
this spring than year ago. The
highest prices ever paid for ladies'
and mems suits, shoes, etc., were paid
in March and April, 1920, it is said.
While figures in connection have been
reduced approximately rs per cent
shoes, with the possible exception of
cheaper grades, have witnessed little
reduction. The merchants as vet
have not purchased their spring shoe
stocks, and until the buying is COM
pleted an accurate estimate cannot be
made on the prices which will prevail
for them during the spring and CON-
ing summer. Ladies suits and coats,
however, are known to be reduced in
price as compared with year ago.
This reduction approximates 25 per
cent.
