BUY FUEL AND SUPPLIES NOW The public generally should thor oughly understand that its health and comfort during the coming winter will depend upon merchants and families getting in their supplies of fuel, food stuffs, clothing, etc.j now, during the summer when rail transportation is easily available. In order to relieve transportation facilities of as much traffic as possible next winter and to prevent a recur rence of the conditions which existed last winter due to the great, demand upon ciarriers, it is desirable that mer chants, manufacturers and families lay in all seupplies of fuel, wood, oil, or wood, and household goods and store them, before the railways are crowded with freight trains carrying grain, munitions, timber and other things needed for prosecuting the war effectually, and tc^ the absolute ex clusion of everything else. In this way you not only actually insure -yourself and family against want and discomfort but help the soldiers in France go "over the top" just the same as in buying Liberty Bonds and War Stamps. This warning has a real meaning and is meant to arouse every one to a sense of the necessity of following out this plan at once. Otherwise more or less suffering and sickness is very liable to occur. You should strengthen yourself against grippe by taking gCOTTg OEKUISTWIO which is the cream of cod liver oil, refined, purified and so skilfully prepared that it enriches the blood streams, creates reserve strength and fortifies the lungs and throat Don't delay—It may mean much. use scorrs Most iristihte Beott Bowse.

H. Swanson led a bunch of storm troops out into the country last week that certainly put up some speed and accomplished great results. In the crowd were 18 men and they shocked abouft 160 acres in five hours. They went to the farm of Mrs. Ole Esby, five and a half miles north of town. In the party were E. H. Swanson, who was gener alissimo, I. J. Moe, E. J. Pegg, C. A. Bonhus, Oscar Dahl, Louis Gillette, Herman Stern, Con Foley, W. J. Brown, M. P. Krogh, V. C. Swanson, O N. Bergman, Martin Pederson, R. Jorgenson, O. Andreason, Ralph Krogh, E. M. Harding, M. J. Boyd. There are too many in this bunch to write up individually, but each and every one of the boys went "over the top" in fine shape, so we will have to give them all a great boost as be ing first-class in every respect when it comes down to shocking grain. The boys wotked hard, but they liked it, and were perfectly willing to go out and show that they could make good when it came down to a pinch. Their work was greatly appreciated by the farmer for whom they worked and the good words we are hearing about this bunch would fill a big book. It goes to show that the city fellows can make good at any time in any place and not only that—they are showing a spirit of community harmony that is mighty good. TOWN CHAPS MAKE GOOD A bunch of storm troops went out to County Treas. Nelson's farm last night and succeeded in convincing the pwner that they really were pretty good men, after all. Henry hired 'em to go out to do some shocking, and when he hired them, knowing them as well as we do, he had very serious misgivings, but when they completed the task there was not a more tickled landed plutocrat in Barnes county that that same Henry Nelson. Just look at the personnel of the shock troop that went out to the Nelson farm: Olaf, Roe, Chas. Moordale, Orson Tooley, Henry E. Nelson and of course the boss had to go sit on a shock and see that the men did the real work. They did it. But you wouldn't think it, would you after looking them over. Well, to make a short story of it, these boys shocked 30 acres—as well as Nelson—in four hours. Can you beat it. You cannot. The boys are dandy workers and the-owner of the farm was tickled at getting so much done in four hours, which is something regular farm hands never do, that he could not sleep all night for laughing, he was so pleased. He paid the boys fifty cents an hour and says they are well worth it. Some of 'em have sore wrists today and a lame back but they are game and will go out again to night.

KERNKAMP WRITES THE EDITOR Remember those boys we used to drill and drill and I'm not going to indulge ih any nar rative of France or the scenery or the customs or any such thing, as you probably have heard all about it 'ere this, but will say that France has the most wonderful people in the world when their unconquerable spirit is seen. They certainly have been and will be a wonderful ally and surely deserve all the help we can give them. Mr. Trubshaw I am going to ask you not to publish this as it would look like free advertising for myself but had a strong desire to write to you and I wrote. (In all proba bility this dam thing of mine isn't worth the ink but I know the attitude the home folks hold toward us.) Will close with very best wishes to the' Times-Record and the people of Valley City. Sincerely and cordially yours. —Ralph Kernkamp. Saturday Tower City was well rep resented in our city. Theparties came down to take in the show given at the Grand theater, "The Unbeliever." Those present were Mrs. Sansburn, Mrs. Geltman, Mrs. Stine, Mrs. Mink, Mrs. Couren, Mrs. Lockard and daughter Mae, Mrs. W. E. Clark and Mrs. Frank Berry. The above named named have boys now in France, and such pictures as "The Unbeliever" are of interest to them. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Crasweil went down to Fingal Sunday to attend the funeral of the last Mrs. Nancy Henry, Mrs. Crasweil going down to sing. They were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Dedrick, and after the fu neral they took a ride to Fort Ransom. Dr. W. B. Thomas, of Jamestown College, wife and daughter, were in the city Saturday and made a hurried trip to the Getchell farm north of the city. Del! Link, one of Tower City's prominent farmers spent Saturday in the city on business. CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears .the Signature ol THE WEEKLY TIMES-RECORD, VALLEY CITY, NORTH DAKOTA A. I. S. S., A. P. 0. 714 American E. F., July. 19, 1918 The Hon. Percy R. Trubshaw, Valley City, N. D., (Incidentally editor of the Evening Screamer!) Rather a fresh beginning was it not? I had the delightful opportunity of reading a few copies of the Times Record that mother very thoughtfully sent to me, and upon reading one edi torial I thought it sounded strangely familiar in tone but a tone that has not been associated with that paper heretofore. I glanced upward and lo and behold there in prominent black type stood the name "P. R. Trub shaw." I certainly was glad to see that name associated with the "Pride of Valley City," as I once heard the pa per called. Of course I immediately began to recall the days of last July, August and September and how the president of the Whittler's Club would come to our little drill field near the northern outskirts of the prettiest and best little city I have ever seen and straddling the old saw horse, (especially reserved for none other but yourself) would produce a much worn pocket knife and a small tim ber, stolen from W. J. Curren's wood pile, (Say, did he ever bring suit against you?? and would start to re duce that particular stick to shavings. No. we not only whittled but talked, talked, discussed and argued about everything from the stars to A. C. Townley. Mr. Trubshaw, I certainly did enjoy those days. s!s (then drill them some more? I do every one of them. Some of them are at the front, some are doing important work behind the lines and some have made the supreme sacrifice. But listen they are as fine a bunch of men. as ever were assem bled in one company and I was sorry to leave them. Old company, the bunch that went to the border, are pretty well together yet and I know that if they knew I was writing they would all wish you hearty and cordial greetings. Now just a word about myself. I have successfully completed a three and one half months' course at the army candidate's school and now hold that coveted grade, second lieutenant in the national army. Yes I'm very much pleased tfith it and hope that Uncle Sam hasn't made a mistake in giving me that promotion. But I have been very unfortunate in getting a position I have no desire for, that of instructor in the army schools. I have hopes'of being relieved soon and my hopes are not all based on idle wishes either but if I don't get that for which I wish I shall have to do torn best in instructing rookie lieutenants and sergeants the service of modern war fare. Gee man but that sounds big, doesn't it, and rather conveys a com pliment for myself, but I did not in tend it nthat way. At any rate I'll try. M.RDREYER RETURNS HOME M. H. Dreyer, proprietor of the Dreyer Ready-to-Wear store, returned home last Thursday from his New York, Chicago purchasing trip. Mr. Dreyer says that new fashions for fall and winter are coming out all the time but the prices are also soaring. He has purchased heavily of all the newest creations in ladies wear and says he is going to have the finest lot of ladies' suits, coats and dresses that ever came to Valley City. Mr. Dreyer is very progressive and has worked up a fine business since he came to Valley City. COOPERSTOWN OF FICIAL PASSES AWAY Chirf of Police Anton Christianson, of Cooperstown, passed away at a lo cal hospital in Fargo Aug. 7. For a great many years Mr. Christianson has held the position of police officer of Cooperstown and we want to say that he was a fine officer. The editor of the Times-Record can well remem ber years ago when many tough char acters were floating around the coun try, many of them visited that town, and there were some real tough ones, too, and he showed conspicuous brav ery on many occasions in arresting some of these men. He was also a law enforcer to the letter and knew neither friend or foe in the discharge of his duties, but was fair and con scientious in his work and we feel that we are not saying too much when we do say that Mr. Christiansdh was a fine officer and a good citizen and in his passing away Cooperstown loses one of the best if its citizens and offi cials. AUTO THIEVES ARE CAPTURED, During election Engebret Larson had his Ford car stolen and until yes terday the thieves had not been brought to justice, but through cards sent out by Sheriff Kelly the thieves were apprehended in Ramsey county where they had broken into a place and stole a tire. The two men were brought from Devils Lake last ni^ht by Sheriff Kelly and will plead guilty to the charge and get a sentence from the district court in the near future. Mrs. J. D. Jones, who has been spending some time in the city visit ins: friends and relatives, left on No. 2 Sunday night for St. Paul. John Anderson and son were in from Cuba yesterday. |. iiwniiguimiiBiiiiiiiiiiiHigiiijaiiijaiiiiniiiainiatiiuiinwiiiiuiiiaiiiiiuiMiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiBiiiiaiiiiaiiiwuiwiiimiiiiaiil NwiiHaiuiaNiniiiiaiiiiMiiiaiiiiaTiiraiiiiaiiimiiiwnwiitiiiiiwiiHWiiiwiiiMiiwiiiaiiiwiiiaiiiiaiNiBiiimiiwiiinilw War And Woolens SOLDIERS must have Woolen Cloth ing, so the Government gets all it needs for the army first, the Manufacturer and Tailor fcets the rest.
