WELCOME The HEROES
Fargo High Shows Appreciation for
Winners of the State
Track Meet.

Again the high school has won a
track meet, and this morning at chanel
there was plenty of sincere enthusiasm
for the team and coach. Captain Wood
spoke few words on the meet and
then called on Coach Kalmbach to tell
the school of the big time at the Forks.
Mr.. kalmbach gave an account of
the preliminaries on last Friday and
then spoke at length of each event on
saturday. AS he mentioned a Fargo
man who had won distinction-and thew
all won distinction-the school gave
long and loud applause. Each man on
the team received his share of praise.
AS Mr., kalmbach concluded a rousing
yell was given the team, showing that
the school appreciate their wonderful
efforts and success.
Following Mr.. Kalmbach, HanseI
Bushart gave an excellent Grafton on
man and the Extinction of Animals"
he showed how through the ages man
mas been gradually killing off the ami
mails of the world. That as long as
man existed he has been in constant
warfare with his lower brothers.
Mr.. Bushart went into the different
comments and showed when and how
many kinds of animals have become
extinct. The bison of the American
plains is one of the MANY examines
given. A slight fainting spell prevented
him from finishing, but the grafton was
good as far as it went

PREPARE TO SAVE
LITTLE TOTS LIVES
HOW KANSAS CITY EXPECTS TO
AID BABES OF POOR IN THEIR
FIRST STRUGGLE FOR EXIST
ENcE-FARGo MIGHT DO LIKE
WISE,

When will Fargo awake to the fact
that it is not baby's fault If it be
born into a home of poverty?" asks a
Fargo charity worker. Kansas City
has already realized this truth. and
| having done so. is preparing to help
the poor little denizens of the slums.
Pure milk pure air, hygiene and medi-
cine are to be the portion of the chill
dren of the tenements, and will be adj
ministered under the direction of the
hospital and health board, with the CO.
operation of the Associated Charities
and other benevolent institutions in
Kansas City.
The plan is to have the health board
employ two nurses who will visit the
homes Of poor babies and give the
mothers Instructions as to how they
should be fed and how often. to show
them how the children should be
bathed and to look after the general
hygienic and sanitary conditions of the
rooms in which the little ones are kept.
1t is probable that the nurses will keep
a list of the births and visit the moth
ers at once.
The health officials OF Kansas City
consider the large mortality among in
fants Is mainly due to lack of proper
care, unsanitary surroundings, and
either want of milk or else milk of a
very poor quality. Sterilized milk is
little better than boiled water, they
say, adding that good milk is that
which comes from honest, clean,
healthy, well kept cows. and that a
mother can make a better grade of
milk out of white sugar than grocery
store milk.
The health department hopes with
the cooperation of the city authori-
ties to save scores, IL not hundreds. of
lives during the hot summer months.

MISTAKE in THE NAME
w. c. Hauck Was Connected With
Anamoose National Bank and Not
First National Bank.

The statement that w. c. Hauck was
at any time connected with the First
National bank of Anamoose is in error.
Hauck, who was brought back from
Montana last week to answer the
charge of embezzling funds of a ma
tional bank, was formerly cashier of
the Anamoose National bank. 1t can
easily be seen that an injustice was
done the former institution which was
entirely unintentional.
