sugury of success.

However 1t may be said that Mr.,
Waybright spoke with considerable
force and plainness SO tlia. no one
had doubt where he he stood on
the days issues. He made a bitter
attack on the Denver Post as a scur.

paid his respect to Gov. Shoup and

pastor at the NJ. E. Church, held
his first service Sunday morning
and preached to large congrega-
tiOn from the text: Il was not dis

He spoke substantially as fol-

its opportunity. Vision is netns-
sary to all as no one rises higher
than his vision. For he wittout
vision is like ship without pilot.
Pauls vision was fist OF all viz
ion of sinfulness and power similar
to the vision of Isaiah. Then it
was a vision of responsibility and
opportunity.
The speaker cited several exam,
pies OF this: Thomas Edison and
the monograph, Marconi and the
wireless, Watt and the stenin en-
gine Langley and the aeroplane,
Henry Ford and the auto.
Paul was the greatest preacher,
theOlogian and painter the world
has ever known. He had vision
OF Gods plan, purpose and lie.
Paul, though little in physical stat

Next Saturday is Armistice Day,

most peculiar of all our civic holi-

national but international. 1t is
the only political holiday we keep
in unison with all the great powers.
AS the years increase the day will
shine with more and more glory,

mind the most altruistic moment
in American history. The other
powers were fighting for greed of

distress.

ionged to hold her peace, even at
the price OF n worlds misunder-

President Early of the Country Club

President Early of the Country Club
claims no particular credit personally
for the decisive victory over the James,
town players on the local golf course
Tuesday, but he is naturally pleased
over the result and proud Of the play
ers who participated in the game as
representatives of the club over which
he presides. His pleasure is all the
greater because the victory was won
on his birthday. He expresses the
opinion that Valley City now has at
least twenty-four players who needn't
be afraid of trying conclusions with an
equal number from any other club in
the state.

Commissioner Hanson two-stepping
down the street. Such shenanigans by
our usually sedate official convinced us
that something was radically wrong

full of ''moon" or had taken an over
dose of "snoose" so we proceeded to
investigate. Upon questioning he told
US that at last the plank had arrived
for repairing the bridges of the city.
He also informed us that he was going
right home to get his overalls and

has been anxious to get them fixed
up. Now that the plank have arriv-

There is an Overland car wrecked
at the culvert between the Northern
Pacific viaduct west of the city and
Berea. Evidently the driver Of the
car had hit the end of the concrete
culvert and wrecked the car. After
the wreck someone had removed ev-
erything of value from the car and
left without notifying anyone so the
supposition is that it is stolen car.

cyclists from Miles City came along
this road. The fellow in the lead

was riding in the side car, came along
and crashed into the first machine,
wrecking both machines. No one was
injured however and they came to the
