SEASON TICKET
SALE PROPOSED

J. II. Sampson has given his time,
and considerable money, to the at
fairs of the baseball club for the past
two years. He was elected to the
presidency of the club the other day
but so far has not accepted the po-
sition. He feels that the citizens are
asking little too much when they
ask him to take over the response
bility of the club, especially the fin
ancial responsibilities and asks that
some measures be taken to protect
him in the venture before he accepts
the post. This is only fair to Mr.
Sampson and if the citizens of Val
lev City want to see league baseball
this summer they should get behind
Mr.. Sampson and give him their un-
qualified support. Mr.. Sampson asks
that the citizens undertake the sale
of 25O season tickets in advance. The
tickets will be transferable and will
be good for so admissions. The sale
of them will result in the guarantee
Of s625O.O0 to the club for the sea-
son. With the sale of the season
tickets assured in this amount, Mr.
Sampson will take over the manage
ment of the club as president and
will assume full responsibility for
it's finances. He will accept any pro-
fits that the club may realize from
the seasons efforts and will make
good any losses which the club may
sustain. This is certainly propo-
sition which is more than fair and
will be throwing quite a burden on
Mr.. Sampson. However, he feels
that, under his plan, his private in
terests will be safeguardedr and nc
will be able to accept the presidency
Lets get behind the sale Of these
tickets and show Mr.. Sampson that
his efforts are appreciated by buy,
ing literally.

CHAS. ANDERSON
SAYS ADV. PAYS
Valley City Merchant Gives Credit for
Large Sale Results To ADVERTISE
ments Appearing In The Times
Record

The Right Price Mercantile Co. 70
Gently held a sale of Arrowroot Bis
cults at their store. This was to in
troduce these biscuits to the public
and they advertised the sale quite
extensively in the Times-Record. Dur
ing the sale they sold over a half ton
of these biscuits. AS a result of their
report on the sale they have received
a letter from the northwestern branch
of the Loose Wiles Biscuit Co., at
Minneapolis, a part Of which is quot
ed below:
eve want to compliment you on
the wonderful success Of your sale,
as it is, we believe, the largest sale
of Arrowroot ever held in one store,
in one day, in the United States.
The above company publishes
house magazine for distribution
among their customers and yesterday
the Minneapolis branch requested
that R. Kenneth Mcfarland take pho
tographs of the biscuit department in
this store, together with pictures of
the clerks who handled the sale, and
forward them to the head office of
the company at New York, for use in
their magazine, drawing the atten
ton of merchants in the eastern
large cities to the fact that little
North Dakota town has beaten them
in the conduct Of the sale.
Mr.. Anderson gives the credit of
the success of the sale to the fact
that he chose the Times Record as
their advertising medium, and states
that, as a result of the success Of the
sale, the company will increase their
advertising space considerably.

ARE HAVING BUSY
DAYS IN new YORK

According to the weekly letter of
President C. E. Allen he and Mrs.
Allen are busy every minute during
their short stay in New York City.
Last Saturday DR.. C. E. Allen had
luncheon with Dr.. John Stevenson
who is said to be the highest salaried
educator in the world. He is the
third vice-president Of the Equitable
Life Assurance Company and has
charge of the educational work of
the company. The said salary is
$4,000 year.
On last Friday President and Mrs.
Allen were the guests of Miss Mabel
Carney, rural education expert of
Teachers College, at luncheon held
in connection with conference OF
the Normal School and Rural Educa-
ton departments of the alumni. This
conference was a two-day session.
One of the principal speakers outside
was President Waldo, of the Kalama-
zoo institution.
The same afternoon President Allen
attended a meeting of the faculty of
the Lincoln school which, he says, is
affiliated with Teachers College,
Columbia University. At that meet
ing he heard a report of an examina-
ton of the Lincoln school which was
made during the preceding week. Mr..
Cubberly was the examiner.
New York City has Rotary Club
of 365 members. At it's Friday noon
luncheon over two hundred visitors
outside of New York City were pres
ent. DR.. Allen was one Of these.
That same evening" Mr.. and Mrs

Columbia University dramatic critic
says els the best drama now in New

letter that "This evening we are to

At meeting of the Blue Lodge
held at the Masonic Temple on Fri
day night, it was decided to hold an
Easter ball on the Monday night fol-
lowing Easter Sunday. This ball will
be for all members of the various Ma
sonic bodies in the city: together with
their wives and families, exclu-
sively, and also of the Eastern Star.
The work of remodeling the Masonic
Temple is being pushed forward rap
idly and it is expected that the ball
will be held in the new ballroom on
the first floor. The Masonic bodies
in the city will have very nice tenn
pie when the remodeling is completed
and the new ballroom and gymnasium
will be a decided advantage to the
social life of the members.

world are represented. Some twent,
are millionaires. Others are sons OF
distinguished men. About one-thirc
of the men are working their way
through school. Yet they all meet
on a common plane in school. In So
ciety life, it is different. Life be-
comes, therefore, quite mechanical.
AS far as I can determine, the peo-
pie here take view of public ques-
tions unlike that of western people.
Prohibition is extremely unpopular
with the great majority. The law is
not enforced. International ques-
tions interest people little. This prob
ably means that domestic questions
will come to the fore. Just now bust
ness is sitting unsecurely in the sad
die Of national politics. Everywhere
there is privation and want, and
thousands are unemployed. Against
business, these people harbor strong
resentment. Many of them have a
feeling of increasing pessimism as to
the success of and the ability Of our
democracy to cope with existing
problems.
l am enjoying my life here. 1t is
broadening to get the viewpoint of
other people, and to mingle with 9TH
er types of companions. These peo-
pie look at things from another angle
but their view, like mine, has been
shaped by the particular training and
experiences allotted them. Funda-
mentally they are the same. Yet, I
still love the west best.
