FARGO WANTS A
HEALTH STATION

81
Efforts are to be made to locate a
chair Of bacteriology at the A. G. to
be run ais a branch Of the state board
Of health and have official recognition
from the state and supported in the
same manner as is the present state
board of health.
There Is now a plan on foot among
the city officials to support such an
action in the legislature. Should the
officials in charge Of this work at the
A. c. approve of this, a bill VIII be
drafted by the city attorney and an
effort made to have 1t gotten through
the present legislative session.
In an effort to locate Pres. j. III.
Worst or Prof. e. f. Ladd of the A.
G. today, 1t was learned that both
gentlemen were at Bismarck, SO moth
ing definitely could be learned regard
ing their stand on the situation. How
ever Alderman Mcdonald will write
to Professor Ladd at Bismarck today,
to get his opinion OF such a move.
AT the present time persons and off,
GERS Of municipalities all over the
southern part of the state have to
have their milk and water sent TO
Grand Forks for the archaeological
examination. With an official chair
established here all of the work in
this section of the state could be ex-
amined in Fargo. The erection of the
filtration plant and the pres
ent milk question in Fargo, would make
the establishment of such branch
here great public benefit to the city
of Fargo as well.
Prof. T. ID. Beckwith who is a mem

and he is in no way officially or un-
officially connected with the state
health board.
The laws of the state provide for no
expenses or the refunding of
money spent for hotel bills, in case
the president of the state board Of
health should go out of the state to
make any kind OF bacteriology tests
1t is hoped that something Of this ma
ture will be cared for, in the proposed
bill to be given to the legislature.

BOY SCOUTS MOVEMENT.

To The Forum: / wish to say few
words In regard to the Boy Scout
movement now spreading over this
country. It is lauded and, to my mo-
ton, misrepresented in the daily press.
What this movement is good for, /
am unable to see / rather think it
Is a well planned scheme by some of
our millionaires to induce our boys
to become soldiers
Practically all of the embryo soldiers
In Fargo and Moorhead are recruited
from families Of the working people
or the &C" class.
The movement looks dubious when,
according to newspaper reports, L1ril-
lard Spencer the wealthy young New
York society man. who has taken
charge of the New York city council
of the Boy Scouts of America, and
other equally prominent financiers and
guided society men take such a live
~ interest In 1t.
The old saying, Beware when the
Greeks bear gifts" is suggestive to
me in this movement, or new fad
among our youth / cannot believe
that our rich society dudes take such
an extraordinary interest in the boys
OF the common people for pure unself-
isnness, or for the sake OF patriotism.
But ] do believe that the real motives
are known to those interested only
We have been given to understand
that the object is to build up the
boys characters and in incuicate in
them spirit Of chivalry, to teach them
the value OF loyalty to their superiors,
and I suppose, also to give them to
understand who are their superiors.
Any father who let's his son join the
movement for those reasons, has no
faith III the principles III the church

This afternoon at 2 O'clock John

Of guilty, and waived his preliminary

tried before Judge Pollock tomorrow.
Last night while returning to Fargo

at the rate of about thirty miles an
hour, Carney leaped from the platform
into the snow and after him leaped

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Feb. 17.--It was said by the
bears of wheat last night that while
prices are nearing an export basis
there will have to be a big business
done to sustain values around the
present level, until there is a material
change in present conditions. The
most rampant bears said they did not
look for a general demand FROM Eu-
rope or for a large increase in the
speculative buying in the immediate
future because conditions are against
the bull, although temporary advances
like that OF yesterday are expected to
come from time to time. Prices have
been on the decline for four days and
have dropped over five cents in little
over a week so that a reaction on
profit taking by shorts was to be ex-
Dected.-Inter- Ocean.

part of the session. advanced to 92B
on covering and buying by local trad
ers and then broke over l cent per
hushel from the high point. Further
generous rains were reported in the
southwest. The trend of the market
seems so Enthusiastically lower that it
is difficult to see just on what specu'
lattve buyers base their views, With
crop prospects in the southwest so
vastly improved and continuation OF
lack of demand in the cash depart
ment, we can see nothing but lower
prices in the future and advise sales
on all good rallies.
