R0USING MEETING
ATCITY HALL
Comme rcial Club ReorganiZed After
Enthusiastic Meeting Last Night
In Which Differences Were Set
tied.

At an enthusiastic meeting of the
Commercial Club held in the City
Hall last night, at which there were
present about thirty citizens of the
city, past differences among the mem
bers were threshed out, objections to
the manner in which the club has
been handled were stated and new
plan of organization was presented
for consideration.
Every man present was urged to
get on his feet and state his position
regarding the club, whether opposed
to it's continuance or in favor Of the
organization continuing with its
functions. Some plain facts were
stated and drew fire from the oppo-
sition but when the smoke had clear
ed away the differences were settled
and all Joined hands in the effort to
put the club on a better foundation.
The meeting opened with the read
ing of the treasurer's report which
showed that $9:271.77 had been re-
ceived by the club for the year 1921
There now remains in the treasury
the sum Of $3.41. There are few bills
yet unpaid. The principal items OF
expense were the donations to the
baseball club, which totaled $3,865.00
the donation to the Valley City Band
which took another $3.50, the salary
Of the secretary, $500, and the $500
which was spent in gravelling the
chautauqua road. Considerable mon-
ey has been spent in the advertise
ment of special doings in the city
such as the Fourth of July celebra-
ton, and the item Of travelling ex-
pense seemed out of proportion. In
cidental expense brought the total ex-
penditures up to $9,268.36.
The reading Of the treasurer's re-
port was followed by the reading of
the secretary's report in which l. ]
Moe drew attention to the activities
Of the club for the past year. He
paid F. w. Heidel sincere compli-
ment in saying that Mr.. Heidel was
chairman Of the committee which as
sisted in the organization of Co. G
and that he was the only chairman
who functioned 100 per cent last year

pleted at the fair grounds last year.

CO. G HOLDS LAST
DRILL IN CITY HALL

At the regular weekly drill in the
city hall last evening, Capt. r. j.
Mcdonald informed the members
that the next drill will be held in their
new armory in the Masonic temple.
Most of the time last evening was
taken up by Capt. Mcdonald in read
ing the rules and regulations Of the
army to the men, going into detail on
such subjects as discipline and dress
of soldier.
The members were also informed
by the captain that the inspecting Of
ficer would in all probabilities be
here to inspect the local company next
Tuesday. This inspection will be held
on the regular drill night and all of
the members are urged to be present
Due to the fact that several of the
old men will be discharged the end of
this month several members Of the
old company will be promoted to non
commissioned officers. This will
leave vacancy in the ranks of pri-
vate so that two more members may
be recruited. If there are two young
men in the city who would like to be-
long to a first class organization they
may be enlisted at the next drill to
be held in the Masonic temple build
ing next Tuesday evening or may see
Capt. Mcdonald at the First National
Bank.

Farm Bureau Federation to see if ar
engagements could not be made with
Farm Bureaus in New York and New
England states for the shipment and
sale of North Dakota horses direct to
Farm Bureau members there. 1nten-
sive correspondence was carried on
and satisfactory arrangements made.
Ed. S. Delaney of Valley City, an
old experienced horse man, was plac-
ed in charge of the work. Farmers
listed their horses with Farm Bureau
Committees. These horses were then
inspected and only those ofund to be
sound and of good type an dgood feed
ers were accepted. These horses
were then stall fed, made fat and
smooth, and shipped to Mr.. Delaney

carload being sold at CORTLAND. New

The big meeting Of the Commercial
Club is scheduled to take place at
the City Hall tonight and every citi-
zen of Valley City who is interested
in the future welfare Of the city
should be sure and be there, prepared
to have his say in the management Of
the club and to advance his personal
ideas as to the way in which the fu-
ture activities Of the club should be
conducted. There is no argument on
the value of live commercial club
to any city. We all know that no
city can advance very far without
the clubbing together of the bust
ness men of the city in some such or
ganization, founded for the better
ment of conditions in the city and
the advertisement of the city in out
side places. A great many people
have been opposed to the manner in
which this club has been run for the
past few years and the meeting to-
night is for the purpose of re-organ-
ling the club and getting the views
of the business men of the city as
to the proper method to be used in
advancing the claims of the city. You
all have views on the subject and you
should come to the meeting and see
that your views are placed before the
members present. If you have any
kicks on the methods used in the past
this will be good time to register
them. No one wants to cast any as
pensions on the management of the
past but what is wanted is frank
discussion Of the proper method for
the conduct of the club in the future,
and an exchange of views on the best
method to make this organization the
livest organization Of it's kind in the
state. Don't come for the purpose Of
knocking, no good was ever accom-
plished by that method, but be pre-
pared to offer some constructive idea
which will result in good to the city:
and incidentally yourself.

A member of the firm of Bishop,
Brissman and Co., St. Paul, who has
been employed by the state to audit
the books of the various departments,
has been arrested for illegal practice,
not being a regular registered &C
countant of this state. The arrest
was made at the instance OF one j.
Coghlan, member Of the state board
of accounting. This fact brought
forth a lot of publicity on the front
page of the Courier-News recently
The funny thing about the whole
matter is to our mind at least, IS
WHY Mr.. Coghlan did not arrest that
bunch of imported accountants that
the league leaders got here last VIM
ter to audit the books according to a
resolution of the league senate and
for which the senate allowed a big
appropriation. 1t was the Equitable
Audit Co., of St. Paul, that the SEN
ate leaguers secured to do their au-
dit;nc but evidently the fact that
thew practiced contrary to the state
auditing or accounting law does not
seem to matter. "What is sauce for
the goose is evidently not sauce Tor
the gander", when it comes down to
matters league or anti-league. How
keen the Courier-News headlines any
thing against the present admln'stra-
tio, but fails to see the beam in the
eve of its own crowd.

Chicago, Feb. 13-The giddy whirl
of the great white tribe made wild

DR.. Carlos Montezuma who trained
for the medical profession after the
Indian wars became unfashiorable
and went on the war path today
against the white mans civilization.

the dull quiet home of my father in
the west and came to wild and woody
Chicago, the bronze brave complain
ed. "But now Pm getting wild again.
The much maligned flapper of course
came in for her share of the blame
for Montezuma's reversion, to type.
Pocahontas was considered a wild
girl in her time according to histori-
ans estimates" he said. "But what,
would the historians have said If she
had bobbed her feathers, wore short
blankets and discarded her moccasins.
1 shudder to think"
Montezuma said his tribe probably
thought it had hectic time dancing
to the sound of tom toms around the
old camp fires at midnight. They
protested and put us on reservations
for carrying on like that" Montezu-
ma complained.
my ancestors today probably look
down with jealous eyes from the hap
py hunting grounds as men and wo-
men who civilized them shake the
shiml1y to weird Jazz." 1t is to laugh
