MIR. E. c. MERCER
GIVES GOOD TALK

At meeting of the Social Servic,
department of the Community Club
Mr.. Mercer gave most earnest ap
peal for the right kind of homes II
which to bring up the youth of oul
land. He said in part, that the great
lack today was really Christian par
ents >who realize that their greatest
assets are their children. He pleaG
for wholesome supervised amusement
for our boys and girls. To his great
regret he has found the farther west
he has travelled thus far, the more cae
less are the girls about their dress
that is their lack of dress, for he was
compelled to confess that on reach.
ing North Dakota, he found the girls
and sad to say, smature women wear.
ing shorter skirts and, lower necked
gowns than any place he had been.
The need Of good example in both
parents is so essential and so rare to.
day. How can the mother plead with
her son to leave gambling alone, when
she plays for hand-painted china at
card club or the father beg of his son
to remain away from pool halls when
he stays out until the early morning
hours at his club. -' p
At the close OF. Mr.. Mercer's most
excellent and much appreciated as well
as most timely remarks, he held an
open forum. The question Of why
Valley City does not have a Commun-
ity Hall where the youth can enjoy
wholesome amusement without any of
the. .sordid features was freely discus
sed. The concensus of opinion was
that since all other drives can 60 over
the top in Valley City, why cannot a
definite drive for this most needed
cause be worked out effectively. The
wish was very Strongly emphasized
that why not at once take steps to
gain the use of our present handsome
edifice, our new high school building,
for all forms of legitimate amuse-
ments, always kept within bounds and
properly supervised and right away
afford suitable place for the young
people. > i
The club extended rising vote Of
thanks to Mr.. Mercer for his splendid
talk and helpful suggestions.

MUCH ROAD WORK
IS BEING DONE

Messrs. Lee Cowell, Dave Richie
j. S. Wilds, Thos. E. Nugent and P. R
Trubshaw returned home last evening
from practically 200 mile QUITO TRIP
making circle from Valley City to
Darlington, over to Cooperstown and
back by way of Karnak, Ashtabula and
Getchell Prairie. 1t was great trip
and the bunch had good time. On the
way We ran across several road grad
ing outfits that were building up the
roads and in a few years the state will
have some dandy highways. The trip
was taken primarily to visit the place
where Messrs. Cowell and Curren have
grading and road building contract
six miles west of Darlington and we
arrived there about 1880 yesterday
morning and found friend ,Curren
bossing big crew of men engaged in
this work. If you'"have never seen a
modern caterpiller tractor work and
eat up dirt it is worth your while to
go and watch one. 1t stops at nothing
when it gets under way and can climb
up and down bitches, walk over big
rocks and other Instructions with
reckless abandon. Lynne Cowell
manipulates the throttle and he is an
expert at it. He can turn that tractor
around in very small space without
any effort. The dirt is elevated from
the bowels of that tractor into wagons
that draw up along side Of it as it pro-
ceeds along the way and the wagons
are filled at the rate of one minute.
one yard and q quarter, of dirt to the
load, so you see in the ,course of ten
hours much dirt can be moved. They
have reat outfit out there. Besides
the bunk tents, well equipped, black
smith shop, horse tents, ETC., the most
institution in the little city
Of tents and equipment was the car
where they served the "eats." Mr..
Curren had extra covers laid for the
five Of US and the cooks-both men
served up a dandy dinner that was
greatly enjoyed. Messrs. Cowell and
Curren are giving their men good eats
and that is one thing that makes sat-
isfed men and therefore better SER
vice is obtained. They have a fine
road grading and building equipment
as good as can be found anywhere:
and we hope when our Barnes county
meet on June 8 to let
road contracts that they will give our ,
nome people shade the best of it
IN letting the contracts. These citi-
zens of ours spend their money in
Barnes county, pay Barnes county |
axes, and they are entitled to little
he best of. it, in the letting of con-
;racts. After visit of two or three
,ours the party left for home going |
~ way of Cooperstown. The trip
vas good one and the Buick car nev-
n missed a stroke on the whole trip |
md that's going home. The time was
'assed quickly from the fact that Rev:
lugent and Rev. Wilds had fund of
tories to tell and they kept US enter
aimed all the way. All have red faces
nd red noses today from contact with
he wind but we guess each one en-
Dyed a nights sleep after that long
