Lee assisted by Mrs. L. Rhoades. Messrs. Sampson and E. J. Pegg, who have been working on the league -baseball proposition for the past day or two, report fine success so far as they 'have canvassed. They have not covered the town as yet and expect to put it over very nicely. There seems to be a very fine feeling in re gard to the proposition and the pros pects are now that we shall have a real ball team here this summer. The local high school quint easily defeated the fast Jamestown crew on the latter's floor last night by a score of 23 to 12. Although the fast James town five seemed to be working first rate, they were unable to hold the fast pace set by the visitors who seemed to be able to score almost at will. The first half ended 11 to 5. During the second half, Coach Scarlet who accompanied the local team to Jamestown, sent in a number of sub stitutes. Stih the Jamestown baske teers were unable to stop that won derful scoring machine, and before they could realize what they were up against the final whistle blew with the locals on the long end of a 23 to 12 score which marked victory for V. C. H. Owing to Lent commencing on Wednesday next the Elks have de cided to hold another of their social get-together parties on Tuesday eve ning next, Feb. 28.

So it is requested by the management, who are the same members as the last, that all Elks will try and ar range to be present with their ladies. The Enderlin and other outside mem bers have signified thei rdesire to be present, so it is anticipated that this party also will be a greater suc cess than the last one. Wm. Mc pherson, Chairman. Those who were not in attendiance at the Municipal Band concert at the college auditorium last night have cause to regret it as it was certain ly one of the best musical numbers offered in the city for some time. The crowd was not nearly as large as it should have been and the band boys do not feel that the citizens of the city appreciate their efforts in the city, at least they did not show that appreciation by buying tickets to the concert as liberally as they should have. The concert was very well received by the audience, as was evidenced by the applause and fre quent demands for encores. The cor net solos by L- E. Wright were wor thy of special mention as were the bai/.tcyie selections by Ross Wills. This was a finished concert and would be hard to find an organization to duplicate twithout going to some of the large cities and engaging one of the large bands of the country. The county superintendent of schools office is busy these days ar ranging for the Barnes County Bas ketball Tournament which is to be held in this city on. March 2nd and 3rd. This will be an elimination con test between all the schools of the county who wish to enter and creates a great deal of interest. Contrary to tournaments of former years the plan this year is to have 'the consoli dated schools of the county play an elimination series between themselves and the town and city schools to play a like series between themselves, the winners of these two series to play off the final game. It is thought that this will make- a more even contest of the tournament and the final game will be interesting in that it will be a game between the city and country. Very few teams have entered as yet but it is thought that the majority of the schools in the county will be represented. "The Song of Life" which was shown at the Grand last night, and is still on the program for today, was well received by the audience and they were unanimous in their praise of the picture. The picture depicts the trials of a woman on the bleak desert, who has nothing to look for ward to but an endless life of dish washing. She gives up the struggle and goes in search of the brighter things of life, deserting her husband, who is killed the day she leaves, and her little boy, who comes into her life again as a man, struggling for recognition as an author. An inter esting situation develops and the end ing is novel. Gaston "Glass, the hero of. "Humoresque", is the hero in this picture and is as great a success as in former pictures. Georgia Wood tho'rpe, as the mother who deserts her baby is very good and has a grip ping appeal to the audience. This picture is well worth seeing. Coach Hurst's scoring machine will again be seen in action tonight when they clash with the fast Concordia college five on the high school floor. This game will mean a great deal to both teams and they are both deter mined to win. Coach Hurst has been putting his men through some very strenuods work the past week and claims they were never in better shape for a real battle. The teachers have been having some hard luck-with their basket shooting t]iis season los ing two games by the small margin of one point but those, who witnessed the Minot game believe they are coming back and are looking for them to come out of tonight's game with the long end of the score. The Concordia crew have a reputation of being one of the fastest college teams in the state this year and it is up to the lo cals to stop them. Can they do it? The preliminary game which will be played between the Reserves and Green Township will start at 7:30 sharp. A real treat is in store for local basket ball fans on the local floor here Thursday night at which time the fast Mandan team will be seen in action here. The Bismarck boys took the long end of a 24 to 13 scOre in a game between Bismarck and Mandan last night at Bismarck which completely upset the dope. Mandan was the stronger during the earlier part of the season but seemed to fall down last night. Now the big ques tion among the fans is—can Mandan come back?—can our boys stop that fast aggregation Come out Thurs day night and witness the fastest game of the season. This game will mark the last big game at home and it is expected there will be an unus ual crowd out so come early if you want a comfortable seat.« 'In addition to this game, the second team will clash with that fast Green township crew who have been doing some fine work and who are strong contenders for the championship of Barnes coun ty. This will be a game that will well be worth your time and money alone. ASHTABULA COMMUNITY MEET A community meeting was held at the home of W. S. Emery, Feb. 17.

Mr. Sachs left for the twin cities but not to attend the funeral of his father-in-law. Mrs. Sach's father is not dead. We are having the worst storm of the year last night and today. The light snow of Monday night, coupled with the strong wind of last night has piled the drifts up high. All trains are running hours late and there are no trains on any of the !*,• Vv.-1',. .• THE WEEKLY TIMES-RECORD, VALLEY CITY, NORTH DAKOTA branch lines today. The city is full of travelling salesmen who are snow bound and are sitting tight until the storm is over. A few days ago the Times-Record was requested by Postmaster W. W. Smith to ask for information regard ing a Mr. Froshee, as certain of his relatives Were desirous of learning his whereabouts. We published this request for information and Mr. Smith informs us that he has had at least a dozen calls from people who knew of the party wanted and fur nished him with valuable information so that Mr. Froshee has now been located. He is at present managing a restaurant at Sanborn and his rel atives have been put in touch with him. Such is the value of an article in the Times-Record. The newly-elected directors- of the Commercial Club held a meeting at the City Hall last night and elected F. E. Ployhar president, Mayor. A. G. Bonhus, vice president and A. C. Thorkelson, treasurer. The new di rectors were not in receipt of the rec ords of the club and were unable to continue the business of the meeting. These records are to be given to them tonight and they will then be in a better position to plan the activities of the club for the coming year. A secretary was not elected as the di rectors were of the opinion that they should know more about the finances of the club before making any plans for the future and they were not well enough informed to decide on the du ties of the secretary or the salary which should be paid for this service. ANOTHER STAR HEARD FROM J. H. Sampson Hears From Players All Over The Country But Wish es They Had Enough Money To Pay The Telegram You all remember the U. C. T. baseball game on the local grounds last, summer, and if you were there you remember the big player on sec ond base. This player evidently did not hate himself, as a baseball play er, and kept shouting "knock it ouf to the big fellow". One of the op posing players took him at his word and "knocked it out". While the "big fellow" had all the appearance of a real baseball player he seemed to have poor control of his feet,—they were anchored,—and when he start ed after the ball they refused to fol low. As a result said baseball play er suffered a rearrangement of his features and left a liberal supply of skin on the diamond. The player is again brought to the attention of the management by the receipt of a tele gram yesterday which we print here with: Long Beach, Calif. J. H. Sampson, Valley City, N. Dak. Regarding baseball, I am the big boy that played on your lot last sea son. For reference see Pegg or Briggs. Have been training in good company for two moaths. Can de liver the goods. Please wire two hundred dollars as guarantee of good faith to my manager L. S. Ward. Yours for business.. "BABE". This telegram was sent collect and separated Manager Sampson from the sum of $1.08, all of which hurts "Hank" somewhat. However he says that is all a part of his job as mana ger and that he has hopes of collect ing the amount from the sender with a larger amount of interest. As "Hank" is a good collector we are inclined to think he will. The signature, "Babe", is evident ly a 'nom de plume' and Manager Sampson is authority for the state ment that the sender's real name is Jack Heimes, who has been training on the California beaches during the winter. We think he would be a val uable addition to the team,—if he could educate his feet. Aitken, S. C. Feb. 21—Trapped by flames, Mrs. C. E. Monts and three of her children burned to death in their home here early today before the eyes of the husband and father who had made desperate attempts to fight himself thru the walls of fire to rescue them. Monts was so ser iously burned by his frantic attempts to pass the barrier of flames that he had to be taken to a hospital.
