JOHN DIS DAUGHTER ENGAGED

Chicago, Feb. 2O-The baby grand
daughter of John d. Rockefeller to-
day won the right to marry the man
she loves-a Swiss groom over thrice
her age. Mathilde Mccormick, Is:
persuaded her father Harold F. Nc
Cormick, multi-millionaire and head
of the International Harvester Co.
that her happiness depended on her
marriage to Max Oser of Zurick,
Switzerland. Mccormick then made
the announcement of the engagement
Only one string is attached to the
consent of Mccormick. Max Oser
must quit his fatherland and come to
America to live with friends Of the
family, it was stated.
This provision, it is said, was con
cession to the worlds richest man,
John D. Rockefeller, the patriot Of
the family who has prided himself
publicly that fortune seeking men Of
Europe never married into his family
Mathilde, it was believed, will leave
for Zurick to meet her Swiss horse
man fiancee in May. She recently
travelled 5000 miles from her betroth-
ed to gain the consent of her father.

STUDENTS ATTEND
BIBLE CONFERENCE

Last Saturday afternoon and even
ing training conference was held in
Room 1870 Of the State Teachers Col
lege in the interest of the Daily Vaca-
ton Bible School, The Reverend c..
A. Armstrong of Fargo, and DR.. Air
heart, of the Agricultural College,
who are state officers in the North
Dakota Sunday School Association,
conducted the institute. Many of the
college students, as we'll as a number
of workers from the different churches
in Valley City, attended. The even
ing session was not largely attended
owing to the stormy weather and
the jamestown basketball game.
The Daily Vacation Bible School
has arisen in response to the need
felt for religious instruction outside
the Sunday School. During the sum-
mer vacation, the majority of children
have nothing profitable to occupy their
attention, and so it has seemed that
this is the opportune time to give
them much needed religious training.

LEAGUE CLUB EX-
PENSE GUARANTEED
]. H. Sampson Accepts Presidency
As Result of Action Taken Last
Night. Chas. Boardman Con-
tracts AS Playing Manager.

A meeting was held in the office
of /. j. Moe last evening, at which
there were several business men of
the city present, for the purpose Of
deciding definitely whether Valley
City would be represented in the Da-
kota League this year or not.
E.. J. Pegg took the floor and stat
ed the position taken by himself and
J. H. Sampson relative to the man
agement of the club, saying that
they were more than willing to give
their time to the management of the
club but wanted the citizens Of the
city, who will derive the advertising
benefits which attach to the forma-
ton of the club, to back them up in
the financial responsibility Of the
team. It was the sense of the meet
ing that this was no more than fair
Major D. S. Richie very ably ex-
planned the working of league base
ball team, explaining that the cost to
the city last year for semi-pro base
ball was in the neighborhood of $l4,-
500 while the estimated cost for lea
cue baseball will be about $4,000
The team last year played 81 games
at home and about 25 games in other
towns. Under league management
they will play 40 games on the home
grounds and 40 in the other towns OF
the league, making nearly double the
number of games that were played
by the team last year, and nearly
double the amount Of gate receipts
In this connection, it is also granted
that interest in league baseball will
be much greater than in semi-prc
baseball.
After considerable discussion it was
decided that the business men pres
ent would give Mr.. Sampson and Mr.
Pegg their support and guarantee to
make up any deficit in the operation
of the league club, proportionately
Those present signed a guarantee
form and committee was appointed
to circulate the form among the bust
ness men of the city who were not
present and give them an opportuni-
ty to also sign. At the close of the
meeting J. H. Sampson announced
that he would accept the presidency
of the club under these conditions.
Mr.. Sampson, as his first official
act as president, announces that he
has signed a contract with Charles
Boardman of Fargo, the premier
twirler of the state, to act as playing
manager for the 1922 season. This
is one of the best moves that could
have been made by Mr.. Sampson and
assures the fans that the pitching

In many cities and towns the Daily
Vacation Bible School has worked
very successfully. In North Dakota
last summer there were twenty-eight
such schools conducted, in one OF
which sixteen denominations were
represented.
The purpose Of the conference held
here last Saturday was to give def
mite instructions as to how Daily
Vacation Bible School can be orga-
nized in any community and how it
can be successfully conducted. Every
phase of the work was ably discussed
and everyone present was led to see
not only the need for these schools
but also the wonderful opportunity
for service which this new undertake
ing affords. E. 5.

There will be big meeting of the
Edgar A. Fisher Post No. 60 in the
legion hall over the Peoples Store on
next Thursday evening at which time
a good program will be put on in the
form Of entertainment. Remember
the last one? This one will make that
one look like small town
side show compared with the big top.
The entertainment committee is head
ed by Bryan Clark which is "enough
said". In addition to the entertain
ment there will be several matters of
business to attend to and it is hoped
there will be good crowd out to give
their opinion on the various subjects.
The officers of the local post are en-
deavoring to make the local post the
liveliest post in the state but will
have to have the support Of every ex-
service man in and around Valley
City. Valley City needs good live
post and according to war records
should have a much larger member
ship than at the present time. You
may not have the money to pay your
dues at the present time but don't
stay away on account Of that. Come
up and talk over the old times, get
acquainted with the boys and have a
good time. Pay your dues when you
are able to but don't let it keep you
away from the meeting.
