Sadlers Make Hit at„,
Chautauaua Park
AUDIENCES ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER BENEFITS TO BE OBTAIN*
FROM HEALTH LECTURES.
(From Saturday'* Daily.)
Campers and visitors at the Valley
€ifcy Chautauqua are enthusiastic over
the practical lectures given by Dr. and
Mrs. Wm. S. Sadler, Anna
B.
Kellogg,
trained nurse, and SaTah Mildred Will
mer, and the crowd -which hear them
wi'll grow in number until the end of
the Chautauqua.
This number is advertised as the
big feature of the Chautauqua pro
gram, and if the first lectures yester
day afternoon and last evening are a
criterion, they will live up to their
advertisements.
Dr. Sadler demonstrates that he is
a practical physician, not a faddist.
He confines himself to plain words in
his talks and his language can be un
derstood and his directions carried
out even by school children. A prac
ticing physician in Chicago, 'Dr. Sadler
takes a few weeks vacation every year
on the Chautauqua platform, teaching
the Gospel of Health, and the secrets
of happiness.
Dr. Sadler's wife, Lena K. Sadler,
assisted by the trained nurse gives a
lecture than which there is probably
none so unique on the public platform
today. Her subjects are similar to
those of her husband, and with the as
sistance of the. nurse and a young boy
are acted out before the audience. Her
subjects are the- home treatment of
diseases, the care of the baby and the
feeding of children, and are straight
from the shoulder. They contain a
message which every mother can take
home with her.
IMiss Kellogg is a sister of iDr. Lena
Sadler, and her clever work does
much to add to the entertainment.
'Miss Wilimer, the reader with Dr.
Sadler's company is an artist of rare
versatility. She interprets a large va
riety of roles with ease, whether it be
those of child life or the Shakesipear
ean drama.
Middlewest Ins. Co.
Does Big nail Business
SEC. GORDON STATES THAT THE
MIDDLEWEST DOES $200,000
HAIL BUSINESS.
Secretary Gordon of the Middlewest
Fire Insurance Co., stated to a Times
Record representative that today the
company touched the two hundred
thousand mark in ihail premium re
ceipts the figures being $200,928.32.
(Last year the Middlewest Fire In
surance Co. wrote in (hail premiums
about $150,000. The Times-JRecord be
lieves the above show® that North Da
kota people are supporting a North
Dakota company and believes there
is no reason why the Middlewest Fire
in a. very short time should not lead
all companies in North Dakota in fire
and hail premium receipts. Secretary
Gordon stated that about 300 hail
losses had been reported that the
company had their adjusters in the
field settling the losses as rapidly as
possible but that !he could not state
at the present time what the losses
would amount to.

BARNES COUNTY REPUBLICAN
CENTRAL COMMITTEE SENDS
GREETINGS.
The members of the 'Barnes County
Republican 'Central Committee, which
met this week, adopted complimen
tary resolutions respecting .Mr. George
M. Young, the successful candidate
for honors in the Seeond-Congression
al District. The' resolution was
adopted unanimously and reads as
follows:'
"Resolved: That the (Barnes Coun
ty Republican Central Committee does
hereby express its confidence in Hon.
George M. Young, Republican nomi
nee for representative in Congress.
The members of this committee are
glad to congratulate Mr. Young upon
his victory and to express their ap
preciation of the honor thus conferred
upon Barnes 'County by the voters of
the Second Congressional District and
we pledge him our hearty support."
Out for new subscribers.
Are you with us?
The Times Record wants many
more subscribers in the big happy
family before Fall comes.
We are going to pay liberally for
those who aid in placing Valley
City's enterprising evening paper in
every home.
While our last campaign
brought us many new subscribers
we believe that the prizes offered in
this coming campaign, under the
liberal conditions will appeal to
more people and give them some
thing of greater value to work for.
We are going to give something
that nearly everyone has longed for
—an automobile—yes, two of them.
These automobiles will appeal to
everyone—men or women, and the
children. The winners of these ma
chines can keep them or they can
promptly turn them into pockets full
of cash.
If the Times-Record put out a body
of solicitors to cover North Dakota
the cost would run into thousands
of dollars. We are going td give tl^fc
people a chance to earn that money.
Besides, canvassers are sometimes a
nuisance. Our big prize campaign
will make a lot more noise and
there's nothing like having some
fun along with business. The old
apple paring party got the apples
pared, the apple butter made and
everybody had a good time. This
was better than to hire a dozen par
ers to pare the apples. We are out
for more subscribers and we are go
ing to have no end of fun before the
campaign is over. There are a few
surprises in store for those who act
ively enter the competition.
Short Campaign
The circulation campaign will only
last about six weeks, the closing
night being September 7th, on aSat
urday night, at 10 o'clock, sharp,
when the judges will count the
votes and award the prizes. This
competition will be more interesting
and far reaching than any ever
undertaken by a Central North
Dakota newspaper. The prizes are
not only rich in material value, but
are in keeping with this big under
taking. Division of the territory
covered by the Times-Record makes
the prize winning easy for those de
termined ones who enter. Energy
and ambition are the requisites for
success.
Purely a Business Proposition
The Times-Record, at the outset,
pledges absolutely good faith and
fairness to all the people who will
soon
be engaged in the campaign.
This is not a "something for noth
ing" scheme, in fact it is no scheme
at all. Neither is it a charitable un
dertaking on the part of the Times
Record. It is ia business proposition
pure and simple. The object is to
advertise this newspaper and to in
crease its circulation and to win a
welcome in every household in the
field that it covers.
Mors lathe Idea In a Nutshell
The prizes are to be given to the
candidates securing the highest
number of votes in their respective
districts and there are two ways of
getting votes—first, by clipping the
coupons which will be published
daily and will be worth from one to
fifty votes, and will be credited to
the candidate whose name is written
thereon.
A quicker way of getting votes is
by securing paid-in-advance sub
scriptions. The schedule published
elsewhere in this issue shows just

Distribution of Prizes.
The territory of the Campaign has
been divided into two districts, in or
der to give candidates abetter chance
to secure one of the valuable prizes.
District No. 1 includes all territory
within the city limits of Valley City,
and candidates in that District have
only candidates in their own district
to compete with for one of the Dis
trict Prizes. District No. 2 comprises
all of Barnes County and surrounding
territory, and candidates in this Dis
trict also hav nly those in their Dis
trict to compete with for one of the
District prizes.
The automobiles are the two Capital
prizes—one automobile will be
awarded to a city contestant, and one
to an out-of-town candidates—candi
date with the largest number of votes
•to be given their choice of the two
cars.
The trips to Yellow Stone Park will
be awarded as first prize in each Dis
trict after the automobiles have been
awarded.
The graphones will be the second
and fifth district prizes business
courses will be third and fourth dis
trict prizes and the gold watches will
be the sixth district prizes in each
of the districts.
No Losers.
To each and every candidate who
works actively up to the clos: of the
Campaign and does not secure one of
the fourteen prizes mentioned above,
we will give 10 per cent of all money
which they have turned in on sub
scriptions. Therefore, there will be
no losers at the close of the campaign
every one will get something for their
work.
The Tim* Is Short.
The Times-Record's big circulation
campaign is starting off with a rush.

A Square Deal to All
This the motto of the campaign
and. every candidate will. receive
equal treatment. Any man, woman
or child of good repute living in the
territory covered by the campaign
may participate in the competition.
Candidates living at a distance from
Valley City will receive the same at
tention and their interests will be as
safely guarded as those of the candi
dates living in this city. The cam
paign is for people living in Valley
City and surrounding territory, and
not for any one section. Those who
enter from outside districts can rest
assured that they will be fairly treat
ed. Every person who actively en
ters this competition will stand a
good show of winning a prize. Prom
inent business men whose standing
in the community is unquestionable
will be selected as judges to count
the votes and award the prizes at the
close of the campaign on September
7 at 10 p. m.
The Ballot Box
There is a ballot box in the busi
ness office of the Times-Record where
votes may be deposited for candidates
or nominations cast. Those who de
sire to vote are welcome to do so at
once.
Open Evenings
For the benefit of those who cannot
call during the day time, the Circu
lation Campaign Department of th»
Times-Record will be kept open eve
nings until 8 o'clock. The Campaign
Manager and his assistants are al
ways on the job and will be pleased
to have candidates and- their friends
call at any time. Campaign Mana
ger's office, 1st floor Times-Record
Building. Phone No. 4.
The first thing to do to enter the
campaign is to cut out the nomina
tion blank which will be found on
the contest page. Each nomination
blank counts for 1,000 votes. Not
over five nominations will be ac
cepted for any one candidate. Fill in
the blanks with your name, address,
etc., if you wish to nominate your
self, or with the name of any one
else whom you may choose to nomi
nate. Be very caieful to wr'te plain
ly, so that there can be no possibili
ty of an error being made. We also
wish to impress upon candidates the
importance of securing the correct
name and address of all new sub
scribers so there will be no unneces
sary delay in starting the paper.
The second thing to do—send or
bring the nomination to the Times
Record, who will give you credit for
5,000 votes towards winning one of
the 14 prizes, and will send you a re
ceipt book to be used in securing
subscriptions to this paper. A repre­

sentative of the Times-Record will
call on you as soon as possible and
explain the plan of the campaign in
detail, if there is anything you do
not understand, and will render you
any assistance possible. It is better
to ask questions now than to have
to correct mistakes later.
The third thing to do—As sooit as
,you are nominated, see your friends
get them to subscribe for The Times
Record giving you their votes (the
vote scale will be found on the contest
page). Send all subscriptions to Cam
paign Dept., Times-Record, together
with the proper remittance and upon
receipt of same votes will 'be issued.
Once started do not get discouraged.
Pay no attention to how many votes
some one else may |ihave to their
credit look after your own candidacy,
and thereby set a good example for
the other candidates.
The Fourth thing to do—As soon as
you have secured one subscription, go
after another, during your spare time.
You do not need to let this campaign
business interfere with your regular
work, however, if you were to spend
your time doing nothing but securing
subscriptions to the Times-Record^
the reward for your efforts would
quite suffice to repay you many times
over. Think what a wonderful profit
would be yours were you to win one of
the three automobiles. Your salary
would be equivalent to $225 per week
if you were to work every day during
the next six weeks.

SAFE LAST NIGHT.
Following the plan adopted 'by rob
bers in Jamestown, who robbed the
safe of the Occident Elevator three
two nights ago, burglars forced the
door of the office of the Farmers Ele

to enter the safe.
J. H, S. Thomson, manager of the
elevator, states that there was not
a
large amount of money in the safe at
the time. The robbers apparently
were amateurs, using tools which they
picked up about the office, and break
