GRAND FORKS, N. D., Jan. 31.-The
people of North Dakota have done nobly
in subscribing up to date about 81, 600
pounds of -four for the starving and
famine stricken Russian farmers. As
these subscriptions to this fund are
published in the trade journals through.
ont the United States, showing the
amount contributed by each city, the
people of the state feel q Just pride in
trying to make the amount 100, 900
pounds or more. Mayville has donated
1850 pounds, Valley City II. 900, Park
River IL, 400, Lidgerwood 4,6OO, Lisbon
$3.50, and Sheldon 1900. One year ago
eastern friends and sympathizers sent
food and clothing to the destitute of
North Dakota. One year sgo the people
OF North Dakota were poor. Today
they are rich. and from various parts Of
the state are sending from the abund-
ance OF their riches material aid to the
famine stricken farmers of Russia. II
ell the towns and some of the large
cities would contribute of their abund-
ance the amount would have been in
creased very materially. As the time is
very limited. those who desire to con-
tribute should take immediate act on in
granting relief to those famine stricken
sufferers
