WILL HOLD STOCK
JUDGING SCHOOLS

During the first part of June SER
les of Boys Stock Judging schools will
be conducted in this part of the coun-
ty. The location of these schoolsswill
depend upon the enrolment of the
boys and girls who wish to take up
this work. Up to date preliminary
arrangements have been made for
three local schools. One will be held
in the northeastern part of the coun-
try for the interested parties in Pills
bury, Baldwin, Grand Prairie and Mol
timer. Another school will be sched-
uled in the southeastern part of the
county for Springvale, Alta, Norma,
the southwestern group will include
Meadow Lake and Mansfield. Other
schools may be arranged if the en-
rollments seem to warrant such
plan. Following these local schools
general county trip will be planned
for probably two days. The older
boys who have shown the greatest
interest and knowledge in this work
will be eligible to take the review
work in the Judging of all classes.
From the different senior groups a
team Of three members will be picked
to represent Barnes county at the
State Judging Contest which will be-
held at Fargo, July II to 22nd dur
ing the State Fair.
The value of this work for the jun
iors lies in the fact that they learn to
select good types of livestock thru the
experience which they get in looking
for the good points Of the animals as
desired by the prominent livestock
breeders. A number of trips will be
made to livestock farms where the
best type of animals will be found.
In connection with the livestock trips
practical reading material for study
will be distributed. The boys will
make direct application Of the infor-
nation gained by placing rings of
the different classes of livestock and
giving reasons for the same.
This stock Judging work is open to
all interested boys and girls. About
thirty have enrolled up to date.

CLUBS PLAN FOR
CANNING SCHOOLS

Frank Heimes and E. c. Hilborn,
President and Secretary of the Valley
City Potato Association and T. X. CAL
nan, attended a meeting of the Oris-
ka Potato Association at Oriska last
night. The meeting was attended by
80 farmers and business men who are
interested in the production and pro-
motion of the potato industry in the
Oriska community.
A. S. Classpell, Chairman of the
meeting, called on the men from VAL
ley City for short talks. Frank Hei-
mes gave the potato growers of Oris-
ka some valuable information on the
preparation of the soil, planting, cul-
tivation, harvesting, etc., of the pota-
to crop. Mr.. Hilborn, in a general
way, discussed what the potato in
dustry meant to communities that had
been growing this crop for number
of years. He stated that where po-
tatoes had been substituted for wheat
and other grain crops that those COM
munities were more prosperous and in
better financial condition. T. X. CAL
nan discussed the diseases of potatoes
and encouraged the growing of seed
plots in order to improve the quality
of North Dakota grown potatoes.
Oriska farmers are beginners in
the potato industry but are making
an effort to produce the type and
quality of potatoes that will attract
buyers and meet the market demands

Conference Dinner At White House
Sees Executives Favoring Wage
Reductions Before Rate Reduc-
ti0n.

Washington, D. c., May 22-Reduc-
tions in railroad wages may be asked
by railroad executives before agree
ing to a reduction in freight rates as
desired by President Harding it was
learned today. The railroad execu-
tives at the dinner conference at the
White House Saturday looked on the
reduction reluctantly to approve the
alleged reductions in rates as the Pres
ident desires. Railroad executives are
said to have raised another objection
to the big reduction in railroad rates
as it would cause heavier traffic
which would cause additional equip
ment which could not be purchased if
the rates were reduced. Should the
executives insist on wage cut before
voluntarily agreeing in reduction be-
for the executive committee feels jus
titled this will not be done. The very
strongest opposition was raised by
railroad brotherhood leaders. It is
the general belief that wages have,
been cut greatly while the rates only
slightly vary from the war time peak

RADIO PHONE
CONCERTS GIVEN

The Dakota Engineering and Con-
struction Co. have their radio tele-
phone receiving set installed and are
enjoying concerts, programs, etc.,
from all parts of the United States
and Canada these days. While they
have not received their loud speaking
apparatus as yet they have some head
sets and few persons can join in lis
tening to the entertainment quite
readily. This morning a representa-
tive of the Times-Record was invited
to listen to concert being received
and went to that company's office.
For about half an hour those in the
office listened to orchestra and phon-
ograph music and some songs by some
soprano soloist whose identity was not
disclosed. At the conclusion of the
program the sender stated that it was
the Winnipeg Tribune station. The
music was heard very clearly, at cer-
tain times so loud that persons across
the room could hear from the receiv-
er laid on the table. Vernon Hoar
is instructing the members of the
company in the proper handling of
the set and is spending several days
here in the interests of the Western
Electric Co., whom the set was pur-
chased from. Mr.. Bliss informs the
writer that the set which they have
cost the company about $4,000 and
is one of the best sets on the market
Higher prices may be paid for a re-
ceiving set but they will not give any
greater range than the one the Da,
kota Engineering and Construction
Co. have. The static was bad this
morning but Mr.. Hoar informs US
that this is considerably reduced ir
the evening as the evening is the best
time to operate a set. Another concert
is given by the Winnipeg station from
2:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon and ;
third starting at about TOO o'clock il
the evening. The members of thi
company state that they are alway:
pleased to have visitors at any time
to listen to the programs being Civ
en- and it will be we'll worth while t,
spend few minutes there some da,
and have the workings of the instru
ment explained to YOU.

their enthusiasm and "pep" added
wonderfully to the frolic and fun of
the evening. Delegates were also

we'll chosen words extended a hearty

now functioning and doing good work
in promoting civic welfare in their
Irrespective communities throughout
Canada and the United States.

of the club by President T. Melvin

cellent talk on the direct benefit to be
derived from Kiwanis and showed
how the motto, "We Build", applies to
the individual in the club as we'll as to
the club as a whole. Mr.. Green is an
entertaining and fluent speaker and
his talk was thoroly enjoyed
The beautiful musical numbers rem
dered by Mrs. Knute Froysaa, Prof.
Froysaa and the Kiwanis Quartet ad-
ded greatly to the entertainment of
the evening.
Our own comedian, William Jen-
nings Bryan Clark added another
Notch on his gun last night when he
knocked them all dead.
Last but not least is the important
part played by Jack Aldrich who serv
ed the banquet for the occasion.
After the banquet the guests were
ushered to the Masonic Temple ball
room, where dancing was indulged in
as conclusion to the excellent pro-
gram which had been given.

The Odd Fellows held a regular
meeting at their hall on fifth avenue

class of candidates. After the work
of the evening the members spent the
balance of the evening at cards and
a general social good time.

SPENDTHRlFT, H0ARDER OR INVESTOR

There are many different kinds of men with
money.
One kind spends his money as soon as he gets it
for an automobile, clothes, food or drink, as his
inclinatio tend.
Another man will carry his money on his person
or put it in stocking mattress, or bureau
drawer. He gets no interest and takes the risk of
fire or theft - or perhaps his life.
Another man - many men, let us hope will
deposit his money regularly in our Savings De-
partment or in our Certificates Of Deposits. He
gets percent compound interest and has his
money when he may need it to invest, not in some
wildcat stock, but in home, farm, some
sound investment or splendid business opportunity

money to work for you. Start an account NOW.
