•AGE EIGHT THE STERN car. I 5:. MM CANDY COMPANY A new concern has recently been organized in the city to be known as the Stern Candy Company, a whole sale and retain candy manufacturing concern of which A. Stern and B. Stern, the popular confectionery mer chants are the leading spirits. The Stern Brothers have had in mind the establishment of a big candy factory for some time and tomorrow the new concern will commence active busi ness. The Stern Brothers are hustlers from the word go and since coming to Valley City have had wonderful suc cess, due to theid indefatigable work and high class business ability and we look to see this new venture a suc cess. The new company starts out with a capital of $10,000 and in a short time hope to develop the busi ness to such an extent that they will be able to build a factory building in Valley City and increase the capital stock up to $25,000 or $50,000. A traveling man is to be put out on the road and Mr. N. G. Rowley is the man who will go out and- solicit business for this new enterprise. They have a crew of seven men now and with them selves and others number seventeen as being employed. The Stern Candy Company is now one of the big insti tutions of the city and its future would seem to indicate a big growth right from the start. Valley City people will join with us in wishing these practical and hustling business men success in this new venture and will hope to see the business grow and flourish right from the first jump. Great possibilities mad arise out of this start in the factory line and if the venture pans out the way they ex pect it to it means a new, big build ing for this city. So let's all boost for our new factory—which is one of the sweetest things we have ever heard of. IS HUBBY LIABLE FOR AUTO ACCIDENT A point of considerable interest to auto owners was brought out in the trial of a law suit at Fargo, in which the plaintiff claimed damages for injuries received by being struck ear driven by a woman, wife of guarar tcf5cntr ouovi-o. The case was while having injuries sus cendered the __00 damages Trade Mark KCB. U. i3. Fat. Off. The dance given in h^ 1 hospital local basket ball team Ss, -his case was whetner tne wue ox an auto owner laid the husband liable for damages irt rnsp of an accident, while the wife was driving the car. This point has been raised but no line of decisions seemed to have been established by the courts, that would establish a hard and fast rule. It seems that the hus band would be held liable according to the circumstances in each case. Some of the decisions hold that a husband is bound to furnish for his family, certain facilities for business or pleas ure and if a member of the family is driving a car and an accident occurs, the courts seem to rule that the own er cf the car be liable. In the Fargo case referred to the owner of the car and husband of the defendant did not «laim to be exempt from liability on account of his wife being driver of the THE FARM BUREAU The agricultural interests of a coun try represent a large sum. For the larger counties in North Dakota this runs up to twenty to thirty million dollars. This is a big equipment and certainly needs some organization in order to be made the most profitable. The Farm Bureau is such an organiza tion. It is made up of the most pub lic spirited men and women of the county, who are willing to help furth er the agricultural interests. It is organized much on the same principle as a club or livestock asso ciation having its board of directors, officers, and executive committee chosen by the people. The member ship is composed of both men and women and the officers may be either men OT women or both. The Farm Bureau is a non-political organization. Montana has had Farm Bureaus in the counties for the past year, and they have found it so beneficial, that they are planning for a State Farm Bureau. The Farm Bureau movement extends throughout the entire United States. It has a million members in the thirty-three northern and western states. North Dakota has Farm Bureau or ganizations in sixteen counties. Barnes county is planning on the or ganization of a Farm Bureau early in June. This was the first county in the state to have the three lines of exten sion work, county agent, county home demonstration agent, and county boys' and girls' club leader, and to keep pace with that record they should not be the last to organize. Barnes county has lots of good live wives as farmers, farmer's wives, bus iness men and women. When the Barnes county Farm Bureau is organ ized it is hoped that there will be at least 500 members. Every man and woman should be interested in this movement for better agricultural in terests and community development, especially in order that our boys and girls will be more interested in farm life and will be anxious to stay on the farm. Boost for your county. Emil Erickson, who went away with Company G, and to France, returned home last night. While he did not get up into the front line he says he got close enough so that he could see the flash of the guns which made it almost as light as day at times. After reach ing France he was put in another reg iment with Illinois and Iowa men and did 'not see any of the Company boys after that. There were many North Dakota soldiers in his regiment too, but he did not know any of them. xv-.l A PROCLAMATION Whereas: It is the custom of our people to plant trees and shrubbery about their homes, which adds much to the beauty of the landscape and is also of great use and protection to mankind, and further creates a herit age for future generations that all may enjoy, and Whereas: Our statutes provide for the designation of a day which shall have for its chief purpose the planting of trees, and on "which special instruc tion regarding tree and plant life shall be given in the schools and Whereas: Birds are always found where trees abount, and it is of im portance to our trees and crops that birds be encouraged to make their homes in our midst to destroy insect life, as well as to cheer and brighten life's way, and Whereas: The great war is now over, and has left thousands of sad hearts and homes because of loved ones who will not return, and since fitting memorial should be established. Now, Therefore ^sl, Lynn J. Frazier, Governor of North Daketa, do hereby set aside and proclaim Friday, the 2nd day of May, 1919, ARBOR DAY and urge that the people of every com munity in North Dakota plant a Vic tory Elm, or other appropriate tree as a memorial to the triump of Amer ican armies, and to perpetuate the memories of those who participated in the war of democracy and gave their all that others might live. Given under my hand the great seal of the state of North Dakota at the Capitol at Bismarck this 24th day of April, A. D. 1919. LYNN J. FRAZIER, Governor. By the Governor, THOMAS HALL, Secretary of State. BOOK DRIVE FOR SOLDIERS Extract from letter from H. T. Dougherty at Brest, March 5th. "At the present time there are in this district some 70,000 men and con siderably less than 7,000 volumes. Since I have been in Brest, but one shipment of books has gone through, aid from this I snitched 14 out of 39 cases. All other book-bearing ships have gone to ports south of Brest. This is unfortunate for me, and espec ially for the men here. If you could be at camp as frequently as I am and hear the oft-repeated call for books —well, you would probobly be able to get some somewhere. If you know where that where is, I wish you would shoot along that information. It seems to be my lot to get into territory where books do not grow. You may remember that in Texas it was neces sary to conduct a campaign before I could start a library. Here a cam paign is out of the question, but I rely on you fellows back in the states to send a few. Every few days I take a trip to the wharves, examining the cargo manifests of every incoming steamer, but with one exception have never found a thing. The men there must think it a myth that the A. L. A. actually deals in books. Remember the Valley City "Books for Soldiers" drive, May 5-10 and bring your gift books to the public library. ''Help the pile grow."

Sandanger leaves tonight on No. 2 for Willmar, Minn., taking with him Mrs. Anna Reimestad, an aged lady who will enter Bethesda Home, an institution for taking care of those who need it.

Mr. Sandanger will attend to matters of business in Minneapolis also. A man who had been working for H. Seymour, in Weimer township, Barnes county, committed suicide last Friday night by cutting his throat. He had been missing for a couple of days and after a search his body was found about a quarter of a mile from the house in two feet of water with his throat practically cut off. He cer tainly had made a good job of it. Of course no one knows what caused him to take his own life. Coroner N. O. Holberg was called to view the re mains and after doing so decided that it was not necessary to hold an in quest and the body was turned over to the undertaker at Tower City to prepare for burial. As far as can be learned the deceased was a man of about thirty-five years of age and had been divorced, according to infor mation secured. He had several chil dren and he came from Monticello, Wis. Some few weeks ago Mrs. A. E. Lane, of the Kindred Hotel, went down east and purchased three very fine Duroc brood sows, paying a big.price for them. They were three of the best bred animals she could buy with pedi grees for each a mile long. Recently each one of these sows became the mother of a litter of fine piglets until they numbered 24. Mr. Lane is tak ing a pardonable pride in this live stock proposition himself and notwith standing that one of the mothers of these young pigs is very soliticious of her young and chased A. D. out of the pen one morning, he holds no grudge against her and says he intends to help get these pigs in shape to capture all the best prizes at the county fair. It is a laudable ambition. But the way A. D. made a leap for life one day escaping from tlfat sow would look well on the screen if a picture could have been taken of his flight. Leonard Thoreen who returned from overseas service a short time ago, has accepted a good position as book keeper with the Thompson Yards Inc., at Jamestown and has already gone to that city to take up his duties. We are glad to see these soldier boys Dicking up these jobs—they are worth it.

In ad dition to having a special dinner for the farmers there will be music fur nished during the meal hours. Messrs.

When in the city call on them and you will receive courteous treatment and find their eating house a mighty good place to eat. Joseph Kress of Gladstone, N.

Dr. Mellenthin will be in Val ley City, Kindred Hotel, Monday and Tuesday, May 19 and 20. Hours: 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. THE CHALLENGE OF TOMORROW The million or more soldier boys over there, who have imparted to the American army much of its morale— the men who constitute the World's cleanest ^nd most irresistable fight ers—have come to their task through religious education and moral train ing acquired in childhood and youth in the Sunday school of yesterday. It is a natural fruitage. For this cause came the Sunday School into the world. It remains for the Sunday school of today to give to the world's present generation of youth amoral and relig ious equipment adequate for the su preme test of tomorrow—the "Re construction Period." Never has the Sunday school faced a more impera tive challenge to get straight down to business. Let us cooperate in making the "Children's Week" a success. Every slacker in the Sunday school should be rounded up nthese times of won derful Kingdom opportunity. There's a job for everybody and we should all be at it. Your attention is called to the Union Sunday school services at the Epworth M. E. church tomorrow aft ernoon. The program is printed else where on these pages. This is the reader's urgent invitation to attend. The new eight hour day for women which goes into effect on'July first is creating considerable talk. Many of those who have house maids are wondering if the girls will quit the job at five p. m., or whether they will how go to work before eight a. m. Under these circumstances the good wife would have to get up and get her husband's breakfast and the supper while the maid would only have din ner to get. This is quite a problem to solve. Christ Ahl of Hebron, N. D., says he received wonderful benefit by taking Dr. Mellenthin's treatment for heart trouble and general building up."

Swat The SUNDAYSCHOOL CHILDREN PARADE This is children's week all over the country and at Valley City yesterday the fact was very appropriately ob served by a big parade of the Sunday school children of the city, which pa rade took place about 4:30. The Mu nicipal Band, playing sacred music, headed the procession and hundreds of Sunday school children and teach ers were in line. It was a little differ ent parade than those usually taking place, but it was a mighty good one at that. It showed that the religious activity of the city was strong and that hundreds of children were being brought up in a religious atmosphere. It was a great parade and the many different kinds of flags added a pleas ing effect to the army of marchers in line. The band certainly gave those little tots a great hike but they came along in good shape. After the parade the bunch lined up in front of the postoffice and had their picture taken by Kenneth McFarland. Chil dren's Week was very fittingly ob served by this big parade of yester day afternoon, and really we did not think there were so many children in the city and especially in the Sunday schools. EDUCATORS PASS RESOLUTIONS Over a thousand educators of the state in attendance. Less than half a dozen votes against the following re solution which was voted on at Minot, April 10. Resolutions 1. We, the special committee ap pointed by the Northwestern Educa tion Association of North Dakota to consider Senate Bill No. 134, after careful deliberation, and not unmind ful of the apparent unanimous ex pression of the association yesterday afternoon, together with the profes sional opinion of Dr. George D. Stray er, president of the National Educa tional Association, and professor of educational administration, Teachers' College, Columbia University, New York City, in which he states that Senate Bill No. 134 "as enacted, vio lates the most fundamental principle of educational administration," we therefore recommend that this asso ciation do hereby go on record as con demning Senate Bill 134 as education ally unsound. 2. We recognize and believe that this is not a political but an educa tional question and that therefore the educators of the state, through the State Educational Association, should present this bill in its true light to the people, to the end that it may be defeated at the coming referendum election, July 8, 1919. 3. We recommend that the presi dent of this association be hereby em powered to appoint a member of this association to meet with and present to other sectional educational meet ings to be held in the state in the near future, the urgent necessity of imme diate action. 4. We further recommend that this association do hereby request the executive committee of the State Edu cational Association to meet and take such steps as it may find necessary to defeat Senate Bill 134 at the coming referendum. 5. We hereby respectfully ask that this resolution be given the widest possible publicity by the press in the state particularly in the Minot papers, the Fargo Courier-News, the Fargo Forum, the Grand Forks Herald, the Grand Forks American, the Bismarck Tribune, the Devils Lake Journal, the Devils Lake World, and other papers of state-wide and local circulation.
