To Buyers of Hardware
For some time past we have considered giv
ing a ten per cent cash discount. After looking
at this very legitimate way we have decided that
we will mark and sell our goods just as low as
11... good business will allow us.
It would be an easy matter for us to mark
our goods a little higher, the average person none
the wiser, and in that way be able to mislead you
by offering a discount, but we want to say we are
not believers in that method of business. We
feel that any thinking person ought to figure the
same way. Our past success must signify we
have been fair. We will continue to be so now.
When you need HARDWARE we are at
your service at prices and terms which are ab
solutely right.

GRADUATION
EXERCISES
The eighth grade graduation exer
cises of the Ritchie school was held
Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. The
following program was rendered:
invocation Rev. J. L. Wilds
Song—"Old Glory" School
Salutatory Nancy Featherstone
Class History
..' Jeanette Westergaard
Reading—"America For Me"
One of the most interesting and
pleasing features of the High school
commencement exercises at the Ar
mory Friday evening was the presen
tation of a beautifully framed picture
of the Valley City High school boys
basketball team of 1918.
The presentation was made to
the school in an excellent address by
States Attorney L. B. S. Ritchie, and
accepted on behalf of the school by
Supt. G. W. Hanna, a miniature pic
ture was also given to each member
of the team. The picture was had
through the S. S. Tuttle studio of
this city and it certainly reflects great
credit on Mr. Tuttle.
It will be remembered that our High
school boys as district champions par
ticipated in the finals at Fargo last
March, and captured the state banner,
defeating the Grand Forks team by a
score of 42 to 11.
During the winter season our boys
played 18 games and won them all.
Their record was a remarkable one,
the total score in the preliminarily
games being 511 points to their op
I ponents 136 pointy. This splendid
picture will adorn the walls of the
High school assembly hall, and is giv
en to the school in recognition of the
brilliant record made by the basket
ball boys during the past season by
the Russell-Miller Milling Co., First
National Bank, American National
Bank, Bank of Valley City, Middle
west Trust Co., Valley City Grocery
Co., and the Northern Seed Co. This
mark of appreciation by our leading
business men to the Valley City High
school basketball team in bringing
the state championship banner to our
city is highly commendable, and the
hearty thanks of our schools and citi
zens are tendered to the generous
donors.
The personnel of the basketball
team follows: John Cook, Capt. Ar
thur Busdicker, Capt. elect. Lawrence
Stenshoel, Arthur Bowen, Harry Rit
ter, Theodore Anderson, Gilman Mud
gett.
FLAG IS RAISED
BETWEEN SHOWERS
For the past two weeks the city
park commission has been trying to
have the flag raising exercises in the
city park, but the weather has been
against us—and mind you we are not
kicking at the weather man because
he is giving us ideal weather for the
crops.. However, Sunday afternoon
the program was finally carried out,
but it was finished up in a hurry on
account of a shower which happened
along just as we got into the middle
of the program, but Old Glory went
up to the top of that magnificent flag
pole in great shape and floated above
the trees with its stripes and stars a
synonym of purity and equality, so
that people coming to Valley City
when they seei that beautiful flag
floating in the breezes above the trees
will know that they are in a city peo
pled by loyal citizens. The first thing
on the program Sunday afternoon was
the first part of the band concert, then
D. W. Clark, of the park commission
stated the object of the meeting and
regretted that on account of the
weather conditions he could not make
a speech because, said he, "I know you
all want to hear me, but I have a
Mighty good' man to do the talking
this afternoon and will introduce
President Geo. A. McFarland." Mr.
McFarland started in by saying he
was no patriotic speaker and we are
inclined to think prexy is somewhat
a little too modest, because he launch
ed out into a most patriotic address
and held most of the audience despite
the heavy rain that .was falling. He
had to cut his address short on this
account and Gen. Henry Beal grabbed
the rope and pulled Old Glory to the
top of the tall flagstaff amid a burst
of enthusiasm. "America" and "The
Battle Cry of Freedom" were sung
by the audience and the exercises
ended. The more we see Old Glory"
the more we love it, especially when
we realize what it stands for and what
the flags of some of the other nations
do not stand for.
Lee Cowell, Al Heimes and Jack
Heimes went to Fargo to get. one of
those fine six cylinder Buick cars that
are so much enjoyed by the owners of
this car. The new machine is for Al
Heimes.

the basement on a raised platform
intent on feeding some posters thru
the job press and did not notice the
rapid rise of the flood and before
he knew it he was swimming around
like a tadpole blowing a stream up in
the air like a young whale, and hol

working at the linotype and being
keen of* hearing thought he heard a
faint cry in the basement and pro- it is planned that several of the fol

he has had his bath and will not have
to wait for the regular Saturday night
