There is a noticeable falling oif of
the traveling men at the hotels. Most
of them went home for Christmas and
will not start out again until after the
new year. Many of them maybe will
be laid off on account of the tighten

lot of the traveling men around. The

Fred H. Marshall, 52, a prominent
farmer of Noltimier township, living
ten miles northeast of Valley City,
passed away at the farm home De
cember 27, from kidney trouble. The'
deceased was one of the old time resi
dents of that township and a man
much respected by his neighbors and
friends. He leaves to mourn his pass
ing away a wife and two children. Fu
neral arrangements have not' beert
fully completed at this time but it is
expected that the funeral will be held
in the Noltimier German Methodist
church on Thursday afternoon, Rev.
Bublitz officiating. Interment will be
made at Hillside cemetery, Valley
City. C. A. Olsen, of the Valley City
Furniture Company, has charge of the
funeral arrangements.
The Valley City Plumbing & Heat
ing Company completed the repair on
the city steam heating plant late night
and everybody is enjoying warmth
again this morning from the city
plant. It took longer to get the re
pair made than they figured on. The
bolts on the connections were rusted
in and each one had to be cut out and
that took along time, and then having
to work in the cold is no soft snap.
However, that is a thing of the past
and the present and future looks
pretty good to us all this morning.
Here'^ hoping that we have no more
bad luck along these lines this win
ter. Supt. Bergman says the new
boiler to be added to the steam plant
has been shipped, but this will require
about thirty days to install after its
arrival, so that it will not be of much
use his winter, but next fall the city
will have sufficient steam for every
body with this added equipment.

Our weather man promised us some
snow for Christmas and for once he
hit the nail squarely on the head. It
snowed most of the day on Christmas
but the weather had jnoderated con
siderably and everybody enjoyed the
holiday in their own way, happy in the
thought that they were living in a
land of plenty and prosperity.
The weather has remained below
zero for several days past but yet this
is mighty fine holiday weather just the
same. There is a light covering of
snow on the ground at this time. They
say that when the days begin to
lengthen the cold begins to strength

good in this particular climate at
least.

We want to say a word of'apprecia
tion for the boys over in the postoffice
for the hard work done during the
Christmas rush. They had to handle^
an immense amount of mail and put
in some strenuous days taking caTe of
the patrons of the postoffice and they
got by in good shape. It is no fun
on days like last week to handle the
amount of mail and packages that
have to be handled during the last
week before Christmas and the boys
deserve credit for the splendid man
ner in which they handled matters
It does not hurt to let them know that
their efforts are appreciated once in
a while.

DOINGS AT CUBA
Thursday, December 23, marked
the finish of the fall term of School No.
1 in District 33, Cuba township, and
the closing of the school during the
cold winter months.
To make merry the occasion, the
teacher, Miss Clara Henderson of Val
ley City, prepared an excellent enter
tainment which was rendered by the
pupils in her classes.
The school board, and committee co
operated to the extent of furnishing
the hall, and a beautifully trimmed
tree for the occasion, together with a
bag containing fruit, candy and nuts
for all present.
Much credit is due Miss Henderson
and her scholars for the creditable
manner in which the exercises were
delivered. Appreciation is also ex
tended to Mr. Schieb, proprietor of the
Cuba store for appropriating the use
of the hall, and to' Mr. Vaught, mana
ger of the Salzer Lumber yard for
furnishing the material to build the
stage, and to Mr. G. A. McCready for
playing the role of Santa Claus. The
hearty cooperation of all made possi
ble the splendid time which everyone
enjoyed.

The sumptuous repast was enjoyed to

The spacious and hospitable farm

the scene of a happy gathering of rela

to help make merry the occasion and
to partake of the many good things
which had been daintily prepared for
the satisfaction of the inner man.
Another gathering of relatives and
friends which we are glad to chronicle
was perpetrated at the home of Mr.

himself uncapable of reporting this
event as it should be as he was there

just want to say however, that when
it comes to preparing a tasty meal,
Mrs. Schieb occupies first rank.
