.1 1 I THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1911. From Thursday's Daily Some gentleman who attended the faculty dinner at the Normal school Wednesday has a pair of rubbers that are too tight. If he will look up.But tree he can have a pair that are too loose. Lee Cowell went down to Fargo yesterday afternoon to attend the im plement dealers convention. There is a big crowd present at this gath ering and no doubt the dealers will have a very instructing and profit able session. C. C. Chaffee writes back that he is buying heavy in the eastern markets for his big store here and that the big firms down east are looking forward to a greatly increased business dur ing 1919. He will not be home yet for a couple of weeks. Sergeant S. J. Moen, of Braddock, N. D., who has just been discharged from the service after six months ser vice overseas, was in the city yester day visiting friends and left on No. 7 this morning for his home at Brad dock. D. J. Junod returned from Minne apolis yesterday. He informs us that he has accepted a good position with the Northwestern Telephone company with headquarters at Minneapolis. He will move his family to that city in the near future. The time for the payment of last years taxes is at hand and those who have been fortunate enough to be able to pay up early have discovered that there is a considerable "raise" in taxes. If they are bothering the tax payer now, just wait until a year from now, then we will all have something to growl about. They will be much higher next time. It is rumored on the streets that the American National Bank has been sold to the farmers and that it will soon pass into the hands of the new owners. The Times-Record editor cannot get any official confirmation of the deal neither can he get a denial, so that there must be something to the rumor. We shall probably get the real dope soon. It is also rumored that Wm. Olson is to be the president of the new banking firm if the deal goies through. The Times-Record is running out the 1919 yearly catalogs for the Northern Seed Company and during the coming week many thousands of these books will be sent broadcast to the farmers of the state who will want to line up their order for their seed for the coming season. In Val ley City we have this seed institution, a home business, run on the square, and a business that makes it a point to give you the best seed obtainable on the market. If any farmer getting this catalog wants good service'and good seed he should fill out the blank enclosed and mail it in to the North ern Seed Company, a strictly North Dakota and Barnes county business, where they handle the .'"Seed You Need." The Normal school faculty gave its annual dinner at the school last night, held in the domestic science building, members of the faculty and a few bus iness men of the city being present. The affair was a formal one and full dress was the order of the evening. A four course dinner was served. Following the repast a program of toasts was given with Prof. Williams presiding as toast master. Many very witty and to the point toasts were given and good cheer and cordiality was the order of the evening. This is the first dinner of its kind for two years, the war making it necessary to dispense with it last year. It is the social gathering of the school -yvhere the faculty and friends get to gether for an evening of enjoyment. Prof. R. L. Brown, principal of the city schools, is an enthusiastic guy in whatever he undertakes. When he starts in doing anything he does it to a finish. That is what he is trying to do with this basket ball team. He is anxious to see the boys win »tne pennant again this year and by the way the boys are starting in they have a chance of winning out. Mr. Brown has rented the Armory for three months for the games and for a place in which the boys can practice. A list of good games are on the slate and some fast games can be looked forward to. Coach Anderson is doing good work with the team and with Prof. Brown looking after the busi ness end of the deal and Coach An derson the physical and training end of it, Valley City high basket ball team is going to make a record and don't you forget it. Got 117 Eggs Instead of 3 Says One Subscriber Any poultry raiser can easily dou ble his profits by doubling the egg production of his hens. A scientific tonic has been discovered that revi talizes the flock and makes hens work all the time. The tonic is called "More Eggs." Give your hens a few cents worth of "More Eggs," and you will be amazed and delighted with results. A dollar's worth of "More Eggs" will double this year's production of eggs, so if you wish to try this great profit maker, write E. J. Reefer, poultry expert 361 Main Street, Kansas City, Mo., who will send you a package of "More Eggs" Tonic for $1.00 (pre paid). So confident is Mr. Reefer of the results that a million dollar bank guarantees if you are .not absolutely satisfied,' your dollar will be returned on request and the "More Eggs" costs you nothing. Send a dollar today, or send $2.25 and get 3 regular $1.00 packages on special discount for a full season's supply, or ask Mr. Reef eT for his free poultry book that tells the experience of a man who has made a fortune out of poultry^ One subscriber says, 'More Eggs' increased my svpplr to 117 egg*." id '-t From Friday's Daily Frank Flora, the Main street hard ware merchant, returned home this morning from an extended trip to Illi nois. Prof. Williams, of the Normal school faculty, is at Bismarck attend ing the meeting of the state super intendent's. He is to speak before that body today. County Superintendent Nellie J. Whitcher went up to Bismarck yester day to attend a meeting of the state superintendents called together by the state superintendent. The members of Group No. 1 of the Hi-Y club held their regular weekly meeting last night in the city hall with their leader, Dr. Zimmerman. Plans were discussed for the ensuing year. It was decided to have a feed next Thursday (which got all the fel lows rarin' to go.) Blackbirds, robins, etc., are report ed all over the state and in Minneso to and Montana. It is very unusual for these birds to appear in January and while we are having real warm weather, spring is a long way off and we are liable to get lots of cold weather before that time. C. L. Peterson, of the Right Price Mercantile Company, will leave Sun day for Chicago and other points on a buying trip for the big store. In speaking with the Times-Record edi tor Mr. Peterson says that his big odds and end sale advertised exten sively this week, was one of the big gest sales they have had in the his tory of the store. That it pays to ad vertise bargains has been clearly dem onstrated. A. J. Mclnnes, retired farmer, gen eral business manager of the tele phone system at Dazey, Hannaford, Sutton and a few other points, and one of the plutocrats of the county, arrived in the city last night from Fargo and left today for his home at Dazey. Mr. Mclnnes is looking real well and well kept and from his cheer ful countenance he has not arrived at that stage of the game when he con siders that everything is going to the dogs. Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction H. G. Arnsdorf returned to Bismarck yesterday, after a visit to his family here. H. G. was also a guest at the faculty banquet at the Normal school Wednesday night. Mr. Arnsdorf is enjoying his new work and seems to be thriving on his "off again, on again, gone again, Finne gan," office experience they have been having in the superintendent's office of late. This time they are "in again" to stay. Miss Phoebe Phillips was hostess for a number of her friends at a slum ber party at her home at 211'Sixth avenue last night. The evening was spent in playing cards and this morn ing the ladies enjoyed a waffle break fast. There were eight in the party and we guess that the one who under took to keep that bunch supplied with hot waffles had some job on her hands. We don't like to talk about these things. It makes us feel hungry. The report is that "the girls" had a dandy time. Deputy United States Marshal Scott arrived in the city last night with Oliver Flastol, of Slim Butte, S. Dak., who has been arrested by the government charged with embezzling money from the Unit ed States. Fladstol was postmas ter at Slim Butte and is alleged to have appropriated the funds of the office to his own use and then dug out. He was arrested at Nome, brought to the city yesterday and had a hearing before Court Commissioner C. A. Za bel last night. He was bound over to the United States court, bond being fixed at $2,000, which he was unable to give, so he is now in the county jail awaiting the next term of the court. Editor Klenk, of Courtenay, was in the city between trains last night. He was on his way to Bismarck where he went to "watch the legislative wheels go round." Mr. Klenk has just been appointed one of the official papers of Stutsman county and he does not just exactly- like this proposed bill which is going to make one official paper in the county and that one paper the league organ. This would shut him out. This is true of others many of the editors of several papers having been vociferous in their advocacy of the socialist policy. They will be in line to take some of the medicine they have been prescribing for others—and it will serve them right. Mr. Klenk has one of the finest office buildings in the state. APLEASANT SURPRISE PARTY About twenty lady friends of Mrs. C. G. Naeseth surprised her at her home on Fourth street last night in the form of a parcel shower. She was the recipient of a great many useful articles. The evening was spent in visiting, knitting and crocheting until about 10:30 when a very elaborate buffet lunch was served. The rooms were appropriately decorated (with ferns and carnations. This also hap pened to be Mrs. Naeseth's birthday and a cake with a number of candles (number censored) adorned the table. The reverend gentleman apparently was left out in the cold on this occas ion until the ladies had been served with lunch when he and a couple of friends were invited in to a table loaded with good things to eat, which they did not leave until they needed fiGfilcfikTinA After a late hour everybody de parted for their respective^ homes feeling happy over an evening well •pent, voting that they had had a right reyal goed time.

ADVERTISING THE TOWN Ambitious business communities play nowadays for outside trade. The merchants are not willing to spend their lives just scrambling to get away a little more home trade from each other. They want to see the town be come a trade center for a bigger dis trict, so there shall be more prosper ity for everybody. In these days of automobiles, trade can be drawn a long distance, frequently from larger towns. To grow as a trade center, a -town must get a reputation as a live busi ness place, with hustling merchants. The most feasible method of creat ing that reputation, is to support your local newspaper in the effort it is con stantly making to boost the town, and to give the paper such a volume of ad vertising that the town looks like a real trade center. The public in the outlaying country gets the signifi cance of such a sheet. You never see a paper full of advertising in a dead town. And when the merchants do advertise, you can't help feeling that it is a place with life and enterprising business, that the stores are anxious to please and working hard to serve the public. You feel the merchants must be skillful buyers and systema tic managers with a large volume of business, so that they can afford to give bottom prices. Merchants who participate in this kind of effort by advertising in The Times-Record, get results in two ways. First. They attract buyers interest ed by their announcements of specific offerings. Second. They give nearby towns and the outlaying country the idea that Valley City is a hustling, live wire place, where the merchants are playing the game. The spreading of that impression is sure to draw anew trade that will swell the entire busi ness of the place, and make all prop erty here more valuable. Amethysts. The best amethysts are brought from Cambay, in India, and from Siberia Ceylon and Persia. The chief supply of the blue turquoise is drawn from the peninsula uf Sinai, the great mining district ef the nncicnt Egyptians. PAGE SEVCM ga it**- II SAVES L/SBQft-CUTS OUT WASTE-INCREASES PROFITS NO HOOPS, NO GUY WIRES, NO ADJUST MENTS of any kind. The fact that it is neces sary to fasten guy wires to a silo is evidence of weakness in construction. None are needed on the THOMPSON INDESTRUCTIBLE—it will stand up as long as any other building on your farm. Neither are any hoops needed to keep the silo from spreading. The absence of guys in the feed yard will be greatly appreciated by the man who has had an opportunity to observe what a nuisance they are.
